Hey Folks. I am new so go ez on me please. I have 2 digital products that I am hoping to launch in the next week, as both are ready to go. One is, admittedly impulse buying junk, but the other is something I consider very worthwhile. I filmed a documentary in the Middle East during the invasion of Iraq 3 years back, it won a bunch of awards, did the film fest circuit, blah, blah. I am sincerely hoping that offering it to the public via an affiliate based system of promotion will allow it a chance to get some proper exposure as it died a broadcasters death as we did not possess something called errors and ommission insurance. I am selling it to help produce a sequel and thought that Clickbank or PayDotCom could be a unique way of doing so. Problem being, both of these companies scare the b-jeezus outta me. I have heard such scathing opinions regarding both that I am frazzled as to what to think. As I can't seem to get a straight answer out of either of them regarding some very important issues such as: Who owns the intellectual rights once I sign up with these folks? What is the typical method of securing the media for download? Is that my job, or theirs? How accountable are they? How can I trust a company (ClickBank) that only gives a fax number? How can I trust a company (Paydotcom) that list NO contact info in their 'Contact Us' portion of their site? I just need some honest opinions about these companies. If I were just hawking the impulse buying junk CD then it wouldn't bother me so much....but the documentary is another matter altogether. I would appreciate any advice/debate/opinion on this subject. Cheers, Matt www.baghdad-or-bust.com
Clickbank has a LOT more affiliates than paydotcom. I once signed up at PDC and left with out even bothering to promote anything. There layout was crummy and it was hard to find what I was looking for...just some stuff to promote. I like CB much better. The webmaster rule: 'Keep it super simple' works.
