Click Bank

[Aletheides]

Has anyone here used clickbank and had success promoting their products?

[buynick]

Absolutely, clickbank is by far the leader in digital delivery products. I use them and paypal for all of my products.

so what's the best program to sell?

[profitablesynergies]

If you start to use clickbank, and most things tend to start small and grow, beware that they hold your check until five purchases from different credit cards has been processed. Just an FYI.

Is there a way to see how many clicks their banners have generated?

[Aletheides]

I've been looking at the digital products on there lately and I've been reading up on it a little. Most say by far the most profits can be made when you create and distribute your own clickbank product, which I'm sure is true, but I'm not too interested in that quite yet.

I'm more interested in marketing the products aleady there - it seems like the most popular include government records, registry cleaners, weightloss, etc...

Is promoting the most popular products the best way to go or would it be better to invest in something niche/undiscovered ??

[buynick]

I would say try both. Niche marketing takes more work, since you will have to do the leg work to find the niche sites to market on, and may have a smaller market.

since you will have to do the leg work to find the niche sites to market on

Developing your own site and driving targeted traffic to it is the best strategy...Size of market can be kind of half-assed guessed with keyword research numbers - I'm sure there's a better method for this somewhere?

Im working on my own ebook now, which im sure alot of you would be interested in.

It will be on clickbank within the next month, and if any of you are interested in selling it shoot me a PM. (I will pay the majority of each sale to you)

[Aletheides]

Sounds interesting Deejay - can you share the topic/category ??

i make pretty good $ with clickbank i referr the seized cars and 3500 weekly ,, they work pretty good ,, i would say seized cars,movie /ipod downloads/satellite tv for pc...

[jesterx]

yeah those niches are good but prob flood soon.

look clickbank is not the be all and end all of all things. It will help and yes you can get affiliates, but its really the way you market to your audience...get the ones that are desperate and grab them by the scruff and tell them....you need this product...its will S.A.V.E you.

thats what gets them clicking the buy button (clickbank only takes care of payment)

so become a good marketer first there are many payment processors better than clickbank...but you should try it if you think its worth a go!

That's very annoying. I have been with them for about 2 years, but don't market their merchants products much. I have made about 5 - 7 sales so far, which has made me around $100, but my account is now at around $17. The reasons for this is because Clickbank also deducts $1 from your account every 2 weeks if your an international affiliate.

all depends on what you like and how you promote - just because you chose an item that has a high conversion does not mean that you will make money from it

I am an international affiliate. I've had those deductions but I don't think this is the reason. They deduct the $1 if you haven't made a sale for a certain length of time (your account is inactive).

I don't get those $1 deductions anymore.
