What do you look for in a product? I'm talking about what makes a particular product better that its competitors in the same niche. What is desirable in a product's landing page? This will be a great help for me, thanks.
Go to: http://www.cb-analytics.com Look for anything that has a at least some gravity, I'd say products with of 20 gravity and above. You can't really say which product converts better out of two or more products. You'd have to test them out to see which one performs the best. You might think that one sales page seems better than another one, but you never know until you test them yourself. There are so many different niches, and so many different types of customers, sometimes, the sales page that you think is better, and has the better pitch, could actually turn out not to perform that well. So the truth is, you never know until you try it.
I made a large wheel that contains the names of hundreds of CB products. When I'm feeling bored, I spin the wheel and promote whichever product it lands on....
A lot of the time it feels like flipping a coin. Trying to find the right product to promote before everyone and their mother jumps on board seems to make a difference. The site mentioned above is helpful to a point but again it is all a matter of timing
If you want long term steady income, watch the Long Term graphs at CBengine. Make sure the trend is always climbing. You don't want to see any 50% drop-offs. If you want to make quick money and jump around, watch the monthly trends and jump in before the spikes. The quick way is much more "hit and miss" though.
I've used this url, it's very nice I have a few settings bookmarked that have worked out time and time again. http://cb-tracker.com/catalog.php#sortby=-gravity is also nice
Funnily enough, this would actually be a better system than what many people use (which is part of the reason why the success-rate's so low, of course). This system, at least, is random. Many people are selecting products with which they have no chance at all.
No, I wasn't actually (though I do think people without quite a bit of successful experience will be wasting their time, for the most part, with high gravity products, and even Clickbank themselves are now warning people about that in their information pages by stressing that these are likely to be the most competitive products to sell). I meant more "products with leaky sales pages". Their vendors can do very well, but affiliates are naive imagining they'll necessarily be paid all the commissions they earn if the vendor has their prospects' email addresses.
Cool so hopefully you'll like Regace then (see sig), not high gravity and leakless. I'll be posting more details about it fairly soon, hopefully next week. Anyway perhaps I'm going off topic so in7 ... shoot me
With a contact page and vendor's email address given? You and I have different concepts of "leakless". But yes, it does look potentially interesting. Apologies for taking the thread off-topic.
I get the feeling you might be joking with me here, but assuming you are serious... How can i make it leakless then? If I take away the contact details, how do the potential customers ask me questions? How do they know they can trust the site?
If you really require customers to be able to contact you, you can't, can you? That's what a "leak" is: a way for an affiliate's customer to be put into direct contact with the vendor. I think that not many affiliates would refuse to promote your product just because you give an email address on a "contact" page, though. It's not quite in the same league as an opt-in, is it?
Aren't you required to give your customers a way to send you an email? BIG difference between having a "Contact Us" link somewhere and a big opt-in that promises a free report or something...besides, a simple contact email link will probably reduce refunds since the vendor can help with any technical problems, answer questions, etc. I think you're getting a wee tad paranoid Alexa...
You have to have the vendors e-mail on the bottom of the sales page. CB won't approve your product if you don't have the vendor e-mail on the bottom of the sales page and at the bottom of the thank you page. I know this because CB didn't approve a couple of my products because of this. Of course, they did approve them after I made the changes they wanted, which is add the vendor e-mail on the sales page and thank you page. The customer have to have an easy way of contacting you, hence that's why the e-mail is needed on the sales page
Yes, but not your prospective customers. Contrary to what Ripped is saying, there are in fact huge numbers of active Clickbank sales pages (including several for which I'm an affiliate) which do not give a vendor's contact email on the sales page. This is simply factual and can be verified in only a minute by anyone interested enough to look at some. You have to give an email contact for people who have bought. This is a completely different matter. You may think I'm paranoid, but like many affiliates before me and many since, I found that noticing and paying attention to such things was what enabled me to make a living. I prefer it that way and so does my bank manager.
The vendors that don't have an e-mail at the sales page removed their e-mails after they got approved. You have to have the e-mail at the bottom to get approved by CB in the first place. Anyone that has gone through the simple clickbank product approval process can tell you this (I've gone through it many times). CB doesn't do much review of the sites after they're approved, that's why the vendors usually get away with removing the e-mail address later on. I have made many sales from hesitant customers, who were unsure whether to purchase and decided to e-mail me, and I answered their quesitons. I mean what kind of business is it if it doesn't have any basic information like an e-mail address or a phone number so that the customers can interact with the owner. Personally, I would be a bit reluctant to buy from someone that doesn't have any contact information .
They have contact information if you buy; they're obliged to. No product for which I'm currently an affiliate has the vendor's email address on the sales page.
Thanks, I will stick to the current setup as it is a good way to help people ask questions if they are unsure, or existing customers who want a quick way to find my contact address. All I can say is if you promote my product there will be no lost commissions due to that email address being on there. Thats a promise.
