Hi Clickbank Vendors, I spend so much effort on a high quality product, the website and the contents and after submitting the E-book to clickbank, I got an E-mail from them saying "Thank you for your interest in ClickBank. As we are having some problems with current vendors selling this type of product, we are not accepting new vendors for such products at this time" It's so heartbreaking to hear this e-mail from them as I was expecting a positive response from them. It's completely a unique product under the Green Niche and there is no vendor selling this product! Is there anyway to get them to accept the product? Will resubmitting helps?
Why not just contact them directly, explain your position about how you feel that it's a unique and unmet niche and ask them to review it again?
theapparatus, thank you for your response. I have already replied to her e-mail about my concern. I hope she approve my product. I think, she is very biased towards my product as I think she assume my product is similar to other green niche. If she reject again, I think, I will be using their customer service to get a positive response. This is so heartbreaking man..
Even if CB doesnt accept your product, don't worry my friend. It's totally not the end of the line for your shiny new product. I would highly recommend you open an account with PayDotCom.com, I have seen much success here with a few products. In most cases I had affiliates promoting the same day. The beauty of PayDotCom is that you get your money much faster than Click Bank and their affiliate network in my opinion is pretty damn close to Click Bank for some products. The only thing you need is a stormpay or Paypal Account to get started with them. And if for someone reason you can get a pay pal or storm pay account. Just shoot over to Plimus.com, they have loads of affiliates as well, although not nearly as many as CB or PDC. With Plimus they accept all the payments like click bank. The only thing I don't like about Plimus is their 30 day payment cycle. IT SUCKS! Your only focus for this niche should be having great copy, cool design and great affiliate tools. If these are in place the affiliates will come. TRUST ME! Good luck
Find a way! Don't give up. Check all avenues: consider to improve your product, apply to others, re-submit to cb at a later date (in a month or so), study the other products ... etc successful people have their setbacks, but they don't give up! They carry on!
can we see your "high quality product"? there are so many "high quality products" listed already on CB..I was wondering if their stuff really check anything before approving all that crap!
Sure they do. I had the hardest time explaining my product to people, I had nearly ten try it and only one actually understood it. Clickbank reviewers figured it out with no problem. Gave me some legal pointers on my copy, too, and let me fix it during the process to achieve approval. The product sort of flopped, but the clickbank process was pretty good.
@ Everyone..It seems that they are taking forever to reply..My Question, Is there any vendors out there, that has their product rejected before and was approved after talking to them?
Yes, I have had products go through a few revisions before being accepted. They should usually tell you exactly what's wrong with the product and what needs changing if it's just minor stuff. If your product falls outside their TOS though, you're stuffed. For example, they don't allow anything to do with iPhone unlocking (although Wii unlocking is ok... ?), so no matter how much you tweak your sales page they won't approve it.
@TigerPublishing, thankyou..I double checked their terms and services and I did not violate any of them. The reason they gave was they are having some problems with current vendors selling this kind of products and are not accepting new vendors for such products. Btw my product is under green niche and is completely unique. Its not about magnetic electric generator (Magniwork) niche or any wind or solar (earth4energy) niche. I am confused to why they have to compare my products with them as its completely unique. I have send an e-mail to the staff and I do hope they will accept my product. I will keep you guys updated..
Though Clickbank might be the best, it is not the end of the road for all Vendors! Far from that. If they don't accept your product, then they are many other places you can sell your product. I really understand your frustration. Spending so much time to create a product just for it to get rejected. But that is how this business is. in fact, that is how every business it. there are always ups and downs.
@dolittle, It is in the green niche but got nothing to do with earth4energy or Magniwork kind of sites.
There's some fuss going in the green energy niche.. Products that have been simply duplicated, and still the vendors are making fortunes out of them. There is a thread going on now on these forums about some products are are way too similar one to another. Al.
It looks to me like they've (CB) put you in to the 'build-a-windmill' category. If your product is not really one of these then you need to make that clear to them. Yeah, for some reason there's a bunch of windmill products that all look the same to me. I'm sure there are differences between them, but I haven't thoroughly investigated the subject. This is why I consider all those 'big' gravity numbers misleading. If you add up all their gravities, believe all the conversion percentages and the 'converts like crazy' quotes, then one should see a windmill in front of every other house on the street! About the only thing we need less than another build-a-windmill product is another $4-a-click Mafia one. John
Guess what guys? I got a reply from the staff who reviewed the product and she says.. " Hello, Our decision stands. Best of luck! ". I checked my logs, despite explaining to her about my product and she never even visit my site to check my product again. @vitalous..this got nothing to do with the "build-a-windmill" Category. Green Niche is a broad category and I can't believe that they have decided to stop accepting new products from this category because they are having some problems with vendors. This is just ridiculous!
@Venrooy No, my product does not promote any controversial form of energy. Like i said, it does produce green energy and is very unique to clickbank. There is nothing controversial about it. I do not want to reveal too much about this unique niche until i sort this out. This is nothing like run a car using water, or Solar and Wind power to generate electricity or Magnetic generator to generate electricity.
Like CBMP_Rene said there are other places like paydotcom, plimus, and through your own paypal account. Cickbank is not the end of the road! The only thing I might disagree with CBMP_Rene is that PDC is better than plimus (personally I would go with plimus), but it really doesn't matter, sign up to both networks and promote with both of them and let affiliates choose which ever one they prefer.
