Okay I need serious help. Clickbank has denied my product for approval for the following reasons: "Thank you for your product approval request. Unfortunately we have decided we cannot accept this product. In the past, we have accepted products very similar to yours. Due to the customer service issues along with the extremely high refund/chargeback rates, we no longer permit them. Thank you for your understanding and best of luck!" ClickBank Security Product Specialist Here is my product sales page: http://hhosuperpack.com Okay...first of all there are currently 6 other "Water Fuel" products still available on clickbank...so why the hell are they still being permitted? My product was active on clickbank last year and It had very low refund rates (under 3%) and ZERO chargbacks. It performed extremely well last time it was active. I just sent an email to clickbank explaining how my product performed outstanding the last time and to please approve it. I think its total BS to not allow it just because its "similar" to some other products. Its way freakin better if the stop and compare it, no other water fuel product offers this much information. Anyway, I need some advice. What other Digital Retailers should I try to sell my product through that offer good affiliate programs. What are some other good places to sell my product that are popular among affiliate marketers. I cant go with CJ because they require too much....so i need some alternatives.
I think im gonna go with PayLoadz if clickbank still refuses to approve my product. My product performed outstanding last time I had it running and I cant just stand down and let it go to waste. I made way too much money with this product before to just give up. If clickbank doesnt want to approve it, then i'll just go somewhere else. I hope that some affiliates are willing to start an account with payloadz and at least give my product a shot. You will not be dissapointed. So if your interested in promoting this product, send me a message and I will get up with you soon as its ready at PayLoadz. Unless you guys know of a better place to promote that allows affiliates to promote as well....
wow click2sell is very similar to clickbank...except they dont require any product approval. Looks like a winner!
You can also go with e-junkie.com. They also have a marketplace (although not as big as CB) with hungry affiliates ready to promote your product. They also don't need to approve your product
Here's what ive decided to do. Im gonna use google checkout to sell my product myself through a sales index of my main URL, like http://mywebsite/sales.php, since im delivering leads via landing page i can send them to whatever page i want. And i get paid every day instead of waiting for wednesday, and in can extend my money back guarantee to however long i dare, just keep enough funds in the bank for refunds. Then im gonna use either Click2sell or Plimusas as my main URL affiliate retailer. Then im also gonna use others like e-junkie and payloadz as my alternate affiliate programs using subdomains or sub-directories of my main URL. All for the same product just using different pages on my site for each affiliate programs target URL. This way i can reach out to as many affiliate sites as possible. Cha-Ching!!! problem solved! PS. thank you clickbank for denying my product because you just helped me think of a better idea.
Shitty that you had to do this: 1. Make sure all your payouts are the same across each network (both time and threshhold) 2. Hold the cash for as long as you can before paying out, being on networks where the vendor pays directly (being you, proactively paying your affiliates yourself), you are targeted for fraud a lot and the networks demand you payout before the refund period. 3. You now have to worry about chargeback rates, your paypal acct being limited if you get too busy/too many refunds, your own quality control, fraud prevention, supporting all the affiliates technically per network, and may well have a mess with so many different pages under sub-domains (at least get a domain per network). 4. Affiliates that see that you are sending all kinds of overlap to the same domain/offer won't touch it (people with money and experience), I would even consider changing up the site/landers/sales pages per domain to diversify the look a bit so each network has their own semi-continuous yet different landers/ads (ad fatigue will kick you in the ass when you're on tons of networks - always ALWAYS make new creatives). It may all seem like a blessing in disguise, and a lot of "Then I'm gonna....!" - but until you do it all and align everything to make sense across the board for all these networks, it's all here say. You're going to great lengths just to get a processor to accept cards, getting affiliates seems premature at this step I would simply get it on ONE network and get it converting, then START to branch out once you're automated and running smoothly (if you get that far). This is why clickbank is so powerful ^ Look at all the shit you're doing just to try to accomadate the same results give or take. All in one place. Better idea would be to just milk this project for what it's worth and start thinking of your next CB winner, this time making sure you've got an idea they will approve or check before hand. For 7.5% +1 I wouldn't ever trade that to look after my own payments, fraud, QC, refunds, chargebacks, dealing with paypal/merchants processor accounts, 4-5 network interfaces/setups, on top of trying to grow my actual business, product, aff materials, support for customers from so many entry points, fuck all that noise... .02. g'luck with your next moves.
Thanks good point. I guess i'll just go with the two best affiliate retailers, and only the ones that handle all payments, including affiliate payments, automatically like clickbank. Screw the others for now. I'm also raising the price from $47 to $67 simply because I am currently promoting the best Water Fuel product which sells for $67 and im getting atleast 1 sale per day with just 50-70 clicks per day, more often i get 2 sales. This other product gets about 1 refund per 12 sales. And since my product beats all the others to shame with so many Hydrogen cell designs and bonus material, i think i can happily get away with bumping the price up. This will be good for my affiliates as well. SO yeah i'll just stick with the two best, prolly e-junkie and pilmus or click2sell. Im pretty sure they run affiliate payments just like clickbank and they have their own payment system for everything, althout click2sell only offers paypal and moneybroker so i prolly wont use them. I'll post one last thread when i get this done and ready for those who saw this product and still want to promote it, i'll drop a link for the affiliate programs that im with, and their pros' /cons if you feel like joining up to sell the HHOSuperPack. I know this is for clickbank only threads but i know that over 200 people checked out this product so i dont want anyone to miss out on makin some money, especially if you still have a Water Fuel Car landing page thats getting traffic or articles, etc.
