ClickBank appropriate for Software Marketing?

Hi!

I am a software developer selling advanced stock analysis software for $99/year.

I am thinking about using affiliate marketing as the next step promoting my software, offering maybe 30% for affiliates.

I have stumbled upon ClickBank thinking this might be a good solution...but I'm not quite sure...
it mostly seems to selling shitty pdf's promising to solve all problems for you.

My webpage is: www_dot_optimaltrader_dot_net

Do you think ClickBank might be a the right step for me to take?

With kind regards,
petpap

 

You can try Clickbank, but note that 30% commission is very low. To get affiliates you should offer no less than 50% commission.

 

bl4ckmaN^ is right that most affiliates refer your sales page if your commission is 50% or more. However, if you can provide a good content that affiliate will think that your site converts well then that 30% is possible. Your problem now is to convince affiliates.

 

If your site has a great conversion affiliates won't necessarily mind the low comission.

I would say that 30% is toooooooo low. Go to Clickbank and find a successful product with such commission. You won't be able to find anything

 

Here's a top tip on affiliate comissions:

Give HUGE payouts to start with (at least 75%) and then really go for it on the backend.

Hope this helps

 

High payouts are fine, because you have zero overhead and do no work on the individual sale...

 

Ok, i'll consider giving high payouts, but the main question is: Is ClickBank appopriate for Software Marketing or are there better alternatives?

 

I say start selling it cheaper and give a high commission... Then, when your gravity will start going up, raise the price and lower the %commission

This way affiliates will still get the same amount - and you will get more
