I have been searching through the Clickbank marketplace and found some great looking products but with low gravity. I am afraid to promote them and spend time on it if they don't convert. Some look better than the ones on the front page with very high gravity. What is your experience with low gravity products?
I don't worry too much about low gravity - in fact I think those products can be better to promote because there's a lot less competition. It's crazy to me that people keep making more run your car on water sites... I understand the temptation but... talk about over-saturated.
Zibblu, I agree with you on the water 4 gas thing. I am seeing all kinds of new products on CB targeting that niche. As far as low gravity products though, it makes me wonder why they have low gravity? Is it because they don't convert? If that's the case I don't want to waste my time on it. If the product converts well then affiliates pick it up fast and gravity goes high, am I right?
Some products may have low gravity because they don't convert well - but I really think a lot of products have low gravity because publishers haven't done a good enough job of attracting affiliates in the first place. You may be taking more of a risk on low gravity products but you do have the advantage if you do find something that converts really well and you aren't going up against a ton of competition.
I guess you right on that. But if I find something that converts well then I will most likely attract affiliates to it since the gravity would grow from my efforts, right? So far I have only promoted products with high gravity because there are many searches for them on Google, so I can SEO a page for the name of the product itself. Today I started looking into some lower gravity products, but I will need a different strategy for them. I guess I will need to test them with traffic from Adwords.
No. Not really. An affiliate can't add more than 1 gravity. You could make 100 sales a day and you'd still only add 1 gravity total. Dig? A great thing to look for is products with high popularity (which is overall sales --- look at their rank in the CB marketplace) with pretty low gravity. That means that just a few affiliates (and publisher) are making a lot of sales. I like to do this with low gravity products too. Of course there's not nearly as much traffic but it's also much easier to rank very high. And sometimes if you catch a product early - it may become much bigger with time. For example imagine if you had got on the Water4Gas train when it was just starting out. You wouldn't have thought much about a #1 ranking for Water4Gas when it first started - but later on you'd make a fortune. Obviously that's an extreme example - but things like that can happen. I'm into looking at new CB products now that look like they have good potential and getting on them early. Sure a lot will never pan out.. But some will.
Zibblu, thanks for the advice. I will visit the "New Product" category more often from now on. Seems like a good strategy to jump on them early and rank for them before they become popular. But some new products never make it to the "New Products" they just show up all of a sudden with pretty high gravity. How do they do that?
Those tend to be IM products which I don't bother much with anyway. The reason the IM products are able to burst in with huge gravity is because... well for one because so many of the people who buy the products buy them with their own clickbank ID (1 gravity for each) ... and for another because of the large amount of JV's and hype they tend to put into their launches. I think most non-IM products tend to grow a bit more naturally and won't you know.. explode in with a 500+ gravity like Google Nemesis did.
I never even look at a product's gravity There are much more important factors to think about. Have you found a niche of hungry people who would buy the product?.... Have you found a problem that the product is a solution for? Is the sales copy and page good?.... Is the commissions worth the effort?... Gravity means nothing. If you have located a problem in a niche, and the product is ethical and solves that problem with good enough conversions to justify your time.. then ru with it... Forget Gravity and allow yourself to FLY..lol... excuse the pun Peace Jay
How about, all gravity. I don't know why people just don't test every product on the market. My very first sale ever was on a make money online product with an extremely high gravity. - High gravity products will give you the best chances for consistent sales. - Low gravity products will give you the best chances of becoming an internet millionaire - if there's a demand, and you dominate it...that is.
I think the niche is some what more important than a product. If you are promoting a product for "BUM marketing" then its simple, those people searching for "BUM marketing" have less Budget or no budget. But if you chose Weight loss though the niche is very competitive but you can find a sub niche like weight loss hyposis or stomach fat loss..
I make the majority of my money (long term) from the new products, I help develop it and get a good relationship going and as a result I am in a great position if it becomes big.
I don't mind promoting low gravity products. In fact there's a betting exchange site that has a very small gravity figure and is a few years old now, but it still earns me a decent income every month.
More and more I'm thinking this is the best strategy. Sure you will waste some time with some duds - but you'll also get in on the ground floor with some great products. Being the 7 millionth affiliate marketing water4gas doesn't appeal to me.
May be it is a new product ,It will be give nice results for you if it is a new product with low gravity,If it is old product with low gravity,It don't converts much.
Well I do agree with Mr.Anil, that we should try new product with low gravity rather than the old one. Its better to check the product trends at http://cbtrends.com very popular to check the graph of any product for last three month. One thing i also want to ask that what other media except PPC to promte clickbank products?
My simple most effective promotion as an affiliate was with a niche blog that was simply monetized with CB. I wrote a lot of posts that didnt presell anything and thus got natural SE traffic that would click on my hoplinks. Also writing small landing pages and building backlinks to get high up in SERPs worked well for me on a few products.
