Question for ClickBank Affiliates

6 replies
Hey everyone,

I have a new course I am launching. It is not in the MMO niche so I am thinking of putting it on ClickBank. I am hoping affiliates can tell me the No No's I should avoid to keep you from not promoting my product.

While I am not going to discuss the Niche, I will tell you I am using Digital Access Pass to protect the content. It will be a $149 course. I will have a sales page (obviously) and then an exit bribe (ebook) to get them in the sales channel. I will not have any other checkout so there should be no (or very little) sales leakage.

Clickbank or DAP Affiliate - Clickbank would be easier but I can still checkout but use DAP's affiliate program. Advantage to the affiliate, DAP locks first cookie so even if another affiliate sends them, you still get the referral. Bad thing, I end up paying you versus CB.

Upsells versus One Time Offers - This course will not have any OTO's but there will be upsells as customers complete the course. Is this a deal killer for you?

Percentage on upsells. Some of these upsets cost anywhere from $100 up to $1500. Would a 25% cut on the large upsets be enough to promote.

Would source video be helpful to use on your own blogs and sales pages. Or just swipe files?

Any input would be appreciated...

    Will that collect their email addresses?

    (Or, if not, how will it "get them in the sales channel").

    Collecting their email address before they pay would be a deal-killer to all serious, pro-affiliates (the small minority who make 95%+ of the sales), and to some other affiliates, too.

    I think you're going about this the wrong way.

    As an affiliate, all I really care about is the stats and your EPC.

    Have you promoted the funnel yourself and got some stats?

    I don't think affiliates will jump on board promoting a $149 product as a front end.

    I recommend placing a cheaper product as the front end and place that as an upsell.

    Provide the ebook to the affiliate?
    Yes. Make it re-brandable and provide a re-brander.

    Have you promoted the funnel yourself and got some stats?
    I strongly suggest you test and tweak your funnel before you try to get affiliates.

    I don't think affiliates will jump on board promoting a $149 product as a front end.
    That will depend on the nature of the particular affiliate and the product. If you have high ticket buyers or prospects list $149 isn't all that much.

    gluck is right.

    Basically you want to slowly reach into their mentality, and offer them stuff of a lower price.

    Get their trust, and then help them too. Funnels work really well with clickbank. We have a funnell in place, but the way we do well on clickbank is to have your own product. You get 100% of the profits, and 50% of the profits where other people do the hard work for you. All you do is check your email SALE MADE TODAY, that is it.

    We tried 53 ways to make money with clickbank by far the best way, that blew through the other 52 ways, was with list building. ROI was 2900% better than any other means. So that is what you should be spending your time doing.
