How's ClickBank from a Merchant point of view

Discussion in 'ClickBank' started by domnom, Apr 7, 2007.

    In the past i reviewed many affiliate sources including CJ and ShareaSale
    CJ was unacceptable, had the air of 'take or leave it, don't ask many questions, i'm the best and you consume my time' totally rude

    ShareaSale was OK but no results AT ALL

    ClickBank looks OK but after 3 emails with generic questions i got a reply and instead of a reply they said 'signup to start the review process' and left the questions unanswered

    - Are there any merchants here using effectively ClickBank ?
    - What your experience with them ?
    - Do you think selling domain names (registered names not new registrations) would be a catchy niche for ClickBank affiliates

    So when you say you haven't hit big you mean that you earn below your goal (the one you mentioned at your sig ? $500)

    You promote an ebook ?

    So from what you say CB didn't work well enough for you so far

    There is no other CB merchant to report his success (or not) with CB ?

    Check out ewealth.com, quite a few big CB vendors are regulars on that forum.

    I'm not sure about your niche though.. what commission % are you planning on offering affiliates? .. CB affiliates are used to getting between 50%-75% commission, and a min of $20 per sale..

    Clickbank works great. I think that, if anything, it really depends on the product..

    Some products sell like crazy, and some dont. Some sales pages have higher conversion rates than others. Some merchants have been in the game for a longer time than others, and have access to more affiliates and have a larger list.

    I sell more by myself than through Clickbank, and my product is about clickbank :)

    In general I don't think that CB is a program to use for selling domains. They are mostly for software and ebooks.

    I work with a CB merchant and he is making around $14,000/month, but he doesn't relay on CB for the advertising. He is using his CB and a combination of his own contacts and other people's contacts to email his CB link out there and make a ton of money. If he just put his product on CB and left it there, he probably would be making null.

    So in other words, CB provides the means but not the promotion

    -There are many merchants effectively using clickbank.
    Nowadays, customer service at clickbank improved greatly.
    -It accepted my clickbank mall immediately and answered a few of my emails very soon
    -I think it can be a good niche

    I'm a merchant and also an affiliate but mostly I am able to sell more of other people's product. Maybe because of the sales letter. When I got a sale the'll email me. You must indicate how much do you want to withdraw in their panel because every 15 days they are charging $1. SO I use $25 as the least about the send my commissions :)

    BTW my experience is you must drive more traffic to your site with full of products to choose from. You sort it according to the most saleable products. In that way the top products will get the sale.

    Maybe it's for my merchant account. When you have money at clickbank theywill charge you a dollar every 15 days. I didn't notice it before because it's just a dollar.
