I am launching a new ebook, it will be about a medical problem a lot of people face and how to solve it naturaly. What affiliate system do you recommend (CJ, clickbank, any other). Obviously I would like to get as much affiliates as possible. I think that the product will be a hit and I will gladly spend some money to promote it and get as much affiliates as possible. Also is there any special price that works best? Like 19.95 or 24.95 or 29.99. Please do let me know what you think. Reps will be given!
I have used Clickbank for my various eBooks. I would recommend it, while saying that i have not used any other program. I think your price should be around 25$ so 24.99 (you can charge more but i think 25$ is a good number), because it is appealing for affiliates and is cheap for buyers. I do not know what % you should give to your affiliates, it depends mainly how many affiliates you want or how much profit from 1 product you want.
The general consensus around here is that unless you offer 75% (or at the very least 60%) then it is not worth promoting. For an item that is $24.99 with a 75% commission rate, that is only $16.58 for the affiliate (after ClickBank fees) and considering the average product is lucky if it converts in the 2 to 5% range, the more you offer your affiliates, the more likely they are to promote your eBook. Only offer 50% and that lowers the commission making it very difficult for people to promote and make a profit. Not to mention with so many 75% commission eBooks out there, unless your product has a high conversion rate, there is no reason for people to promote it.
I have tried promoting ebooks with CB and I got good results. I keep the affiliate commission at around 60%.
Thank you for all the replies. Reps given. When you launch an ebook, would is the minimum size you would recommend (how many pages). Will people feel cheated if they buy the book and it only has 25 pages? thanks
you could also sell the ebook directly thru forums like this ones and others, use ejunkie and it automates everything and sends payments to you and download links to buyers. since clickbank will make you have a website anyways why not do this, then put your own affiliate program on the site such as jrox or something else that offers you the ability to track affiliates. then you can keep more money while testing to see if clickbank or something similar would work.
I don't find that a very good idea. First the product has nothing to do with webmasters, it's mostly to help women with health advices. Also with clickbank I can have plenty of affiliates in short time while with my own system I will have to gain one by one and get them to trust me.
