I completely disagree, The reason why some affiliates hate up on clickbank is because they didnt figure out how to make money off CB..Dont get discouraged from the ones who failed... ALOTTTTTT of money is being made on clickbank.. The people who make xx,xxx or xxx,xxx a month keep that shit quiet...
My suggestion is keep at it... fuck all the haters.

Since you linked to a site based on gravity, can you just explain a little bit what gravity means? I remember looking into Clickbank long ago and never really getting a straight answer as to what gravity meant and what I should look for in a value there.
I have always been under the impression that the gravity is directly linked to the number of affiliates that have made a commission from the product. I dont know how they come up with the number though as most are decimals.
Well the last time I looked for some clickbank products was on 2008. I gave it a try and didn't profit.
Where exactly did you see me saying that you can not profit of cb products? What I was talking about is the products value for the end users, and correct me if i'm wrong but most clickbank products are pretty much useless. Most of the products are just ebooks with info you can probably find for free if you'll look hard enough.
Just had a flash back to like 5 years ago when I thought it was a good idea to promote CB products, was a shitty idea then too. Good luck bros.
here's how to have success with CB (and yeah... I've done multiple 7 figures with CB)
if you're new stay away from dating/make money/weight loss
go after something small... don't even think of it as much about the money yet but more and testing and finding what work. when you find things that work you can create a blueprint around it to move into larger niches
also, when starting out don't beleive all the $9.51 epc BS... don't go spending a few grand on paid traffic and be surprised when you lose a lot of it
I'd personally start with seo for a small niche, try different services here to get ranked (for speed) and see what works... remember to build a list from the start
for picking a product... go over 50 gravity and thing about small hobby niches
once you have a proven method... move onto something bigger

People will feel confident up until Keyword research. I don't promote clickbank. In a few short sentences, tell some of the noobs how you'd do keyword research for some of the smaller niches... Is the volume even there?
keyword research isn't even a big deal for micro niches... you don't just go after long tail keywords or anything. you target the main high search keywords, buyer keywords and then even the long tail ones
for these keywords you can simply use google's keyword suggestion tool (back in the day when I started it was GoodKeywords software but not even sure that exists now)

im sorry, when you said "good products" I was assuming you ment good to market/sell/profit like most IM would think...
Im glad their are good guys like you (insert good guy greg meme) that only promote "products of value".. Me, Im more interested in products that make me money (insert scumbag steve meme)
Interesting reading this.
Been a #1 vendor for 3 years now (sig is my prod) and was a successful aff before turning vendor. There really isn't such thing as picking a good product. It's more avoiding the shit than picking a winner. Anyone with even a few months experience in this game should be able to mine their marketplace and third party analytics sites and filter their winners easily.
I'm surprised more people here don't fux with clickbank the way they do with CPA - some of the niches/produts don't have a cap, market is there, a lot of the rules that apply to cpa offers don't at CB (URL rules, brand rules, lead/traffic rules etc.). I've scaled and plateau'd and re-scaled a ton of times based on both high gravity and low gravity proudcts. It still comes down to your skills and talents and how you market vs "if you promote x you'll do well".
Gravity :: Bit of a bitch to explain but in short.
My first affiliate just got a sale = I get 1 gravity point. Now over 8 weeks that shrinks to .09, .08.... down to 0.0.
If in two weeks he gets another sale - his point for me goes back to 1.0. So he can make 100 sales a day but I only get 1 gravity point.
Say I have 10 affiliates, always fluctuating in how many sales they have made in the last 8 weeks, my gravity will not be 10, it will be 5-8 more than likely as some aff's are better than others. Scale that to 100 aff's, and same shit - you'll probably have 50-80 gravity considering some are doing daily sales and others only convert once and everything in between.
Conclusion :: There is no way to tell how many units/volume/profit can be made or is being made based on gravity (also never believe CB vendors EPC's - they differ greatly per aff/source) - however it's still a good loose gage to see what's what. More important than gravity though is the products history and charting. Don't just look at any one moment in time - if the product is dying or on a big downward slope in grav it's not a good sign. Alternatively if the product is new, has a gravity of 19, and the slop is going up in the charts you have a good opportunity to position yourself well before the masses come. This doesn't apply to MMO shit because it's an incestual buy where CB'ers are buying the MMO using their own links and inflating the gravity quickly falsely (followed by a 'drop like a rock' in grav that you see repeat after every mmo launch).
Definitely stay away from the MMO shit if you're new, and definitely strive to champion 5-10 profitable campaigns to understand the eco-system enough to launch your own shit. Launch stuff as often as you can until you find your big winner to scale on and boom your life changes fast.
Making some spike money on CB isn't that hard, however like in any niche/network it's the consistency that's a bitch so if you can launch anything that stands the test of time and remains the leader among all vendors in that niche - you win big at CB I wouldn't discredit it or brush the whole thing with the MMO crew, it's just a processor with aff tech and a SHITLOAD of misguided aff's to recruit and convert to make you money.

Just saw this thread and thought I would bump it to see if there were any other CB fans in here. I've made quite a bit on CB over the years as both a vendor and affiliate, had my first $1k profit day on CB, and flipped many CB sites.
I'm surprised more gay webmasters don't mess with CB. They complain about crappy products on CB but have no problem pushing diet rebills and teeth whitening systems. Sure, there is a lot of garbage on there but also some solid products. I would sleep a lot better at night pushing The Truth About Abs or Fat Loss Factor then I would selling $100 bottles of green coffee extract with shady continuity terms.
Plus, I've never had a problem with payouts from CB. I've been with them for just under 5 years and have received all of my wires and checks on time every time. I read the threads on here about networks owing huge sums to affiliates, networks dropping like flies, going bankrupt, etc. That seems like a risky way to do business. When I first started with Clickbank and was receiving large checks, I would cash them at Wells Fargo (where CB banks) and then deposit the cash at my credit union. One week, I had a particularly large check (5 figures) and the manager had to come over to process the check. He showed me CB's revolving daily account balance and it was $22 million. I've never given any thought to my checks not clearing since.
Also, NC knows what he is talking about, listen to him. Especially the gravity part. I had a product with a gravity of 6 where one affiliate was doing $2k a day in sales. I know first hand of a product with a gravity under 15 that does six figures a month in sales. If any other CB ballers want to chat, send me a PM.

Hi,I think you should market analysis, the appropriate selection of niche products, with reasonable commission, and effective marketing strategies.This is really important!
1. Think about what resouces do you have.
2. Think about niche that you interested
3. Pick products in niche that you interested, and then use your resouces to promote the product.
