Here is an idea for someone. I don't have the know how to do it. Or quiet frankly the time. But I think this could be quite profitable for someone. (Feel free to cut me in if you decide to do it.) What the marketplace needs is a clickbank launch forum. I don't mean on DP. I mean outside it could be a forum I think that is probably the most honest way. But basically it would be a gathering of clickbank affiliates waiting to hear what the next product launch will be on clickbank. So clickbank affiliates will be getting there PPC ready and review sites etc.. So it would be FREE for them to join. Then since you have a big forum/list of clickbank affiliates that are hungry for the next launch. Then people who are launching the clickbank products will come to the forum and post there details of the upcoming launch etc.. And there would be a special section for the people launching the product so you could charge them whatever amount to post on the forum to these hundreds or thousands of clickbank affiliates. Its really win/win all around. Clickbank affiliates love it as they get to know when a product is launched so they are first in line. Clickbank sellers love it cause they have an audience of hundreds or thousands of clickbank affiliates waiting for their product to launch. Its kind of like when bars have ladies get in Free night. Where do all the ladies go? That bar. Do you think they are the only ones in that bar. Of course not the bar probably can get double the cover charge from all the men that want in. Same thing here. Why I think its needed not many product sellers come to DP or the other clickbank forum I sometimes look at. Sure some do but not the big launches. Actually the only reason I heard about FAP Turbo launch was because I got an email from someone who was trying to presell it to me. Well I LOVED it and ended up being an affiliate for FAP turbo and so far it has been worth 5 figures to me. I personally would LOVE to see it and I think their is a real marketplace for it. PM me if you start it would love to be part of it.
sounds all fine and dandy in theory but im not entirely sure that would work. most marketers just tell their lists over and over again. a few of the big ones (chris rempel for eg.) come on here to get a few more affs on board but i dunno really if what you have invisioned would be able to function that way. dont really need another forum tbh. and speaking from experience with forums they always end up being far bigger or more complex than what you origianlly wanted from it. i think you just gotta keep your finger on the pulse. keep checking the new products on cb-analytics as sometimes they dont actually launch straight away after being approved. then you can get a head start. otherwise just know who to follow and keep an eye on what they are up to.
There are actually some sites that announce you when a new hot IM Product will launch so you will have time to build your campaigns .. Some of them are productcalendar.com, jvnotifypro.com and go search on google for more .
I do see the potential attraction, but I suspect in reality it may be terribly difficult to prevent it from just turning into a real spam-fest. From Clickbank's own perspective, I suspect ("hope and trust") that they're understandably more concerned at the moment with stemming the swelling tide of the huge numbers of affiliates abandoning them every week in favour of Click2Sell, CJ, Paydotcom and the other places, in response to Clickbank's longstanding tracking problems and apparent lack of concern about them and acknowledgment of them, than they are with anything else.
Where is this huge tide? I don't see it. CJ has high barriers to entry. PDC is not as good. Click2sell I have no idea.
