Is it too early to change the product?

Evan, if there's anything that I've learned with being online since 1999 is that you shouldn't get discouraged AND it's way too early to change the product.

I didn't build my first list until around 2001 and I didn't make any sales until my list hit over 500. I learned from a guy named Jimmy D. Brown and once I learned his e-mail marketing and list building system, I began making sales.

This is business and these are just SMALL obstacles to whatever your ultimate goal is going to be.

Don't get discouraged, just make sure that you're focusing on:

* Your offer
* Your traffic
* Your conversions

Making a sale off a list of only 100 is damn good.

I would regard this as a success. Like others have said, it's way too early to switch products. Stick to it and if you see a common 'refund' theme THEN move on. You could have just had a 'forever miserable' buyer

Awesome advice guys...I guess I never looked at making 1 sale from a list of 100 subscribers as a success...Very encouraging to hear other warriors opinions, who have been there and done that...especially since I put my blood, sweat and tears into my IM business....literally!

If it wasn't for this forum I would have quit this business a long time ago...so thanks to all who give advice!

No reason you can't test more than one.

Just don't give up this early as you may have just hit the law of large numbers in a bad spot.

This being a Clickbank product, you can check the refund percentage for the product at CBEngine. It looks something like this screen shot. Although, one sale is not enough data if the product otherwise checks out. Here is an example of a very bad refund rate.

  I did not post about Clickbank's reported refund rate. This data is from Actual Sales and Actual Refunds from Actual Affiliates of the Clickbank product, as reported on CBENGINE, not ClickBank. I am confused how the actual data from a sale can be inaccurate. Maybe I missed something.

If you made a sale in 100 you are right where you need to be. So you really can't judge till you have a few refunds.

I sort of quit clickbank though, I don't like there pay schedule and jvzoo and warriors i can get instant, I really like that lol.

Thanks for the input...I'm not too familiar with Jvzoo but I'll check it out...and since being new to list building, I had no idea that 1 sale out of 100 subscribers was a good start....so it's nice to hear I am on the right track, since I put so much effort into building my list thus far

You should not be discouraged at all. This should motivate you because you got a "sale" which is good. Sure it got refunded but this will happen to everyone at some point.

You should continue to build your list and follow up with them consistently. If you are going to get a lot of refunds for this product, then you should look for other products that have a low refund rate.

After taking a step back and sleeping on this, I realized that I have nothing to be discouraged about and have to keep pushing as this is part of the business...I will keep testing, tweaking and improving my process until I reach my goals...I really do appreciate everyone's opinion and find it very motivating when I hit these little obstacles!

Do not be discouraged...that is business, particularly in the IM space. If little stuff like that discourages you, then prepare for a long journey of pain and frustration. Let that type of stuff fire you up to work harder, take more action, and grow!

Hey Evan,

mate you've done really well. But for me I'd say it's far too soon to make ANY changes.

What I'd do is wait until a certain number of visitors have seen your offer before making any changes. You might decide for example, that after 500 hits and only one sale (and that got refunded), that something has to change.

So this is what's known as split testing. Change something and see how it goes.

For the record, some people are serial refunders, and there's nothing to say you didn't get your first one of them.

Another thing you can do if your product sells a few is to see how many refund requests you get from the first 20 or 50 sales. Tweak something and then monitor the next 20 or 50.

So there's a few things you can do to keep it all happening nice and sweet.

Whatever you do, be sure to only change ONE THING AT A TIME when you do make changes. I've been impatient and made 2 or even 3 changes at once, and you just can't get any useful feedback from that.

So patience is definitely a virtue where split testing is concerned.

Hope that helps.

Warmest regards,
- [ 1 ] Thanks

Move to a non money making niche for lowest refunds. They will be very high in Clickbank for the mm niche. Much higher than if you sell elsewhere because they make it so easy.

You don't really have the data to make that judgement call just yet, one sale.

Something I heard - once upon a time - was people giving out bonuses after (say 60 days) to encourage people not to refund (if they were refunding for the sake of being a douche).

Of course it only works if the CB product was good in the first place

Don't get discouraged. Focus on the fact that you made a sale and forget about the refund. Clickbank is notorious for having products that have a high refund rate. I stopped promoting Clickbank products 2 years ago for this exact reason. Now I only promote JVZoo, WSOs, RapBank & Payspree products and I very rarely have a refund.

Of course, at this stage in the game I pretty much know what my list wants and also I have the financial means to buy the product before I promote it to my list, so that may drive down refunds. Overall, though, you will see more refunds with Clickbank products.

The point is that it wasn't your fault and it probably wasn't the product you were promoting, either. There are a lot of people who know they can buy a Clickbank product and get their money back a few days later and unfortunately, a lot of people take advantage of this.

The bottom line is that making a sale with a list of only 100 subscribers is awesome. You're doing it right. Just keep moving forward and shrug off this refund!

Sorry to hear that!!

Historically, I have like a 15% refund rate on Clickbank.

JVzoo is much lower! (Warrior Plus is too).

I haven't put much thought into why that is, but I bet other affiliates/vendors can concur with my findings.

Food for thought... Diversification is never a bad plan.

Totally disagree!

Actually, you CAN and SHOULD be blamed for poor product quality, as that implies you did NOT research the quality of the products you are promoting!

While I have only made a few sales, and am no expert - I do believe it's our responsibility (as promoters/affiliates) to send people to quality products that offer them solutions. Not every sale will have the same effects, as people differ in what they do after purchase, many never use the information or refund, sadly.

But, it took me a long time to realize; just throwing offers out there without researching the value (or lack of value) those offers deliver to the end user can make all the difference.

To the OP, don't be discouraged. Or at least don't stay discouraged, as I'll admit I too feel discouraged at times, but rather focus on providing quality solutions... the sales will come, and people will buy more as a result once you build your audience.

With this industry and selling electronic products you have to accept people will order sometimes and then want a refund it's just unfortunate it was your first sale. Don't be discouraged get back on it, work harder, get more sales to make up for those that will inevitably drop off. Might also be worth checking the product your promoting, and particularly the refund rate on it.

Carry on doing what you're doing. Just make sure you retain your integrity. I was interested in doing a joint venture with an IM guy but the latest email he sent out to his members was plugging a really misleading thing that could easily have lead to his list being shut down.

And on the subject of refunds - just grant them (if you're a vendor). I'm in dispute with a well known dot com because they've refused to honour their 100% satisfaction guarantee. I've had to file a PayPal dispute, and I spent the whole afternoon posting bad reviews. Don't permanently damage your online presence for the sake of $20.

It hurts. I had to refund someone and moved on.

Hang in there and try not to be impatient. That same thing happened to me only it wasn't a clickbank product, it was an affiliate product. Just like you, I was excited to make the first sale but, the next day, it was refunded. I have since switched products in my funnel and it's much better. This particular product was in my funnel for about 6 months.
Testing and tweaking is the game we can never stop playing.

Good luck,
Geri

Good to know...I am definitely going to keep my product for now since it is too early to tell, and see where it goes from here!

Thanks
