Your opinion on Click Bank

Clickbank is a great resource for affiliates. I've worked with them on and off for 10 years as an affiliate. Their payments for fast and they are the go-to network for digital downloads.

It really depends how you market products/services. If you're able to convert users on a per sale basis, they're a great addition to your client base. If you're looking for lead gen-based offers, you should stick to more traditional affiliate networks.

I don' know why anybody would use clickbank. It makes absolutely no sense. Why use this BS "network" when you can use real networks with real offers?

Hi carlmarl,

You can use CBsurge from CBsurge.com to help you find what product to sell. It highlights the ones to go for in green. It's a free tool from Matt & Brad Callen.

If you want to promote Health products - I recommend Markethealth.com.

With Internet Marketing, you need to get your head around the fact that you need to get traffic to your site - this means a strong understanding of SEO to get your page ranked, as studies show that number one ranking in google gets around 40% of the clicks, 2nd rank gets up to 38%, 3rd gets around 10% and the rest is shared...

There are heaps of other ways to get targeted traffic to your site, like article marketing, forum marketing, solo ads, PPC ads etc... I think you get the point that you need to spend lots of effort in the marketing department. I'm only going on about this because you can find or be recommended a great CB product but that is only the beginning.

When it comes to building the site. Don't sell. Provide lots of value and recommend the product. This is where lots of newbies (and experienced marketers) make this big mistake. No one likes to be sold anything. People like to buy not be sold. George Brown from Google Sniper has a lot to say about this and so do guys like Kelly Felix, Jamie Lewis etc...

Go to kidneydiet.net. This is a site by Kelly Felix. He ranks number 1 for keyword search "Kidney Diet". Notice he doesn't have any ads on his site - just useful information and a few discreet links. It took him less then an hour to build this site and it makes between $500 to $800 a month passive. Its a CB product he promotes and he hasn't touched it since he build it over a year ago.

Also, when looking for a product/niche to promote, go for something that you have a lot of knowledge or experience in, something that you are passionate about - I cannot stress this enough. if you're "luke warm" it will show in all your marketing and no-one will buy from you.

Sorry if this a bit more then you probably wanted to hear but I just want you to succeed.


I hope this helps.

I like ClickBank a lot, my only complaint really would be that I wish they made creatives a bit easier to find and standardize. For example, if you only wanted to advertise a product on your site, it's kind of a crap shoot as to whether or not it will have banners you can use.

But, that's pretty minor...
 
info products are hard sells, you need to understand the psychology of selling and be a good copywriter in order to do well at it..

ther eis ofcourse the brute force method where you get get shitloads of traffic and then you jsut put a ad and clickbank link and pray for the best.. great if you just want to make $40 a day, but is not going to pay the bills.

The thing I like about offervault is that they give you product comparisons as well as demographics. Sign up is free and they don't send you too much spam.

My best suggestion is to check out the product sales pages yourself because Clickbank is producing a lot of crap these days especially in the IM niche.

I have personally bought a ton of these products myself and If you want an opinion on something specific let me know.
 
I guess it depends on what type of product you're promoting in order to make money with clickbank. I've made a few dollars here and there with CB but nothing huge. Clickbank was the first affiliate network I ever signed up with and they have some pretty cool plugins that will help facilitate the process of promoting their products. Check out CB Goliath plugin for wordpress it's one of the best IMO. :)
 
Judging from the products I saw, ClickBank gives you a compelling reason to stay away from anything resembling a marketing website. After reading these comments, I think I'll give them another look in other niches.
 
There is a lot of rubbish on there but you can find some good stuff to promote. It's all about trial and error. If you can create a decent site and get some decent traffic you shouldn't encounter any problems and should see some income.
 
Why not 'make money'?

CB is ok. Just don't promote the 'make money' niche with them.

If you are trying to make money then why shouldn't you promote the "make money" niche.
I agree it's competitive but that means there is money being spent in that niche.
 
As sad as this sounds, only focus on your JV connections and less on the actual product.

The "big boys" are up there because of the affiliates.
