Newbies and intermediates alike are always interested in how much one could make as a publisher. Obviously some make thousands a day but there are many who make less than 100 bucks a day. CB publishers, please can you share how much you make on average every day from all of your products put together. This poll is anonymous. Thanks PS discussion welcomed.
If people are looking for the solution, and you make a product for it, it'll sell. If you market anything right, it'll sell. If you're from India or China and are barely able to string a sentence together with poor grammar, it'll fail. There are some joke products that I've seen sold in my time.
The results are already looking interesting. My primary goal is to reach $100/day. That will give me enough to live on full-time (I live in UK).
My goal would be going up to about $500 per day by the end of March. Honestly, launching 1 good product will yield you that $100 a day with no problem.
I totally agree with Vadym, you only need ONE really good product to make it big, and keep improving everything around it, but again... always try to diversify your income streams.
Results look interesting but how protected are they from pranksters? Here is some interesting data which taken from an article that is almost 1 year old but still interesting: [http://www.marketingwithmiles.com/clickbank-interview/] So even if we consider that revenue didn't increase in 1 year and sales are still at 1M/day. Let's assume 25% average publisher commission and neglect the refunds... There are 7K active publishers today. So $1,000,000 x 25% / 7000 = $35 average per day per product. Now given that in nature we usually get normal distribution of values you'll have 6.5k publishers making nothing and few products making 10K+ per day.
Can I ask what are you all selling that is making so much? I spent quality time writing an eBook on a specific niche and I have gotten very little response. But, it is also new. Could that be the problem?
Houdini, as an example, I have a number of products. My first 3 were lousy but I have learned from my mistakes. With my fourth, I entered the health niche (good because people are desperate for a cure). Due to article marketing and a content site of mine, I send not many hits every day but I seem to be converting at about 1-2% without any presell. This is making me about 6 or 7 sales per month or $300 per month, or $10 per day. Soon I'll launch an affiliate program and hopefully my sales will skyrocket when people promote it, especially via PPC. I'm not sure what kind of earnings to expect from leveraging affiliates but if I can reach $50 per day from one product I will be a very happy man. That works out to $1500 or £1000 per month! I'd love it if any publishers here can share their earnings history for a product they have (no need to name the product, just the niche would do).
Thanks Rolf. I hope to learn from my mistakes too, and keep up with the motivation. It just would be nice to keep seeing an increase in earnings to hopefully keep me dedicated to doing more.
houdini, I order to make money your product has to (1) appeal to customers strong enough to generate sales, (2) it also has to appeal to affiliates as they can bring in more sales than you can yourself and last but not least (3) it has to get noticed. There are tons of great resources on the web that for all practical reasons don't exist because nobody visits them. That is the reason that many people get discouraged on the first attempt at IM. They create something they perceive as good but either the market doesn't agree or more commonly their stuff just doesn't get noticed. To succeed you need all 3 mentioned above.
my first one bombed. but I definitely learned from my mistakes. I can now easily earn $50-100 a day which makes me a happy college student.
The problem is that the quality of your product is next to meaningless in the world of CB. Some of the biggest selling products on CB are absolute horse crap and some of the products that don't sell very well are actually very high quality. What separates the winners from the losers on CB are largely these two major factors: (1) Quality of the salesletter (ie: conversion %) (2) Ability to recruit affiliates. Quality of product doesn't even chart really. It may help a tiny bit with word of mouth and lower refund % but I doubt the effect is particularly strong because like I said there are some awful products on CB that have been selling in large quantities for years now.
