Greetings, I have two accounts with CB. One for a Loan Officer 101 program, and one for real estate investors, called Find and Assign. Yesterday, I submitted a third item, a 195 page PDF with a forms package, titled "The Boss Eliminator". It teaches you 30 ways to work for yourself, including some real-life jobs with companies that look for reps in fields like the bankcard industry, mortgage industry, and even placing free ATMs in retail locations. I just got a notice that my product was rejected, as CB no longer takes any more "home based business" submissions. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, what other outlets have you used? - Joe
Really ? It means lots of people will have to forget the idea of writing an ebooks about how to make money online. I'm not a publisher but you could try paydotcom.com
I was surprised as well, seeing that my book is 197 pages, and has real life things that people can do in the real world, as opposed to just spending money on Adwords, linking to an affiliate page and rakin' in the cash. I cover personal experiences selling digital video surveillance systems, setting up an email marketing service for local businesses, creating a "co-op coupon" flyer program, working for a bankcard company that provides free training and free telemarketed leads, and much more. Plus, I have been a vendor for over 5 years with them on my other products and have a very low refund request rate (well under 1%). I have seen a lot of Home based business crap being sold on CB, so perhaps they have had enough. If anyone else has any insight, I would like to see it. - Joe
it is sad to hear that good products like yours has been rejected. I think they are overwhelmed by 'make money' ebooks and decided not to accept any more.
Maybe you could try to contact them and explain what you have done ? Explain your point of view and compare it to some of the craps they accepted from a long time. Maybe you would have give them one copy. Other networks you could try are paydotcom.com and plimus.com.
Sorry to hear - I must have got accepted as one of the last... my recent ProjectWealthy just got accepted last week. I also think that now with ClickBank University on the market they will accept even less, perhaps semi-non relative prodcuts.
I'm sorry, but all of these home business programs are just rehashed bullshit: the same crap rewritten over and over again and sold for $49. It is a good thing Clickbank took this measure, it will filter out a lot of the crap out there. And if any of you are producing or selling 'work from home' or 'make money online' products, then you should already be very succesfull implementing the ideas yourselves, because what you find is that a lot of these people make money by telling people how to make money, they don't really have a good product other than a hyped up sales page.
Sorry to hear about that, it's sad to see an actual product being rejected when there are over 1000 products in the money and employment section which are 99% crap. Hopefully Clickbank will one day decide to clean up this section to allow quality products like yours to be accepted.
This should have been done long time ago. No offense to those whose ebooks contain real life, lead by hand examples that led customers to success, but the majority (like 99.99%) of all work-from-home manuals are simply regurgitated crap created with one purpose in mind - sell by misleading. My2c.
Luke at CB told me why my "Boss Eliminator" was rejected. He took the time to review my book and said that I could remove references to "Get Paid to Take Surveys", "Dish Satellite Affiliate Program". "E-mail marketing service" and "Cash in Your Mailbox", then they could list the package, which has 26 other ways to make an income. I want to thank Luke and CD for taking the time to review the product and not just discard it. - Joe
It's great to know that. So the moral of the story is there is always a way no matter what therefore never quit trying.
By the way, before anyone thinks my product is all about scam items, it does include topics including: Bankcard Representative Telemarketing Broker Mortgage Loan Officer Digital Video Surveillance Systems Sales Co-op Coupon Distributor Pet Sitting Service Auto Detailing Service Senior Care Information Sales Corporate Pretzel & Bagel Delivery Service Blogging for Bucks ClickBank Affiliate & Internet Marketing Running an Internet Mall Tee Shirt Picture Taker Plant Maintenance Service Selling on eBay PC Adware Removal Service Get Paid to Place Free ATM Machines Get Paid to Collect Used Cell Phones and others. I just didn't want you to think that I was selling scam products. On the "Get Paid to do Surveys" section, I inform the readers that you won't be able to quit your day job with this, and not to pay for a list. I give about 8 resources that I found online that do not charge a fee. The "Cash In Your Mail Box" covers running free online classifieds for 6 different information packages, each one being one of 6 jobs in the book. The reader sends in $5 for complete details and gets a download link. So, the point is that ClickBank has a filter on the types of home based businesses they will or won't take, but they will take the time to review your product if you should ask them to do so. - Joe
