I'm getting into a niche of software, and i have some plans for smaller pieces of software and then large pieces. The plan was to promote the smaller software on clickbank.. but i have no experience with selling products on clickbank before. If you list your product on clickbank does it get much exposure for potential affiliates? Are there any ways to promote it more than others? I've checked the clickbank marketplace, and have verified that there are no other products on the site such as the one i am planning to release. What are your thoughts?
Digital delivery products are a good idea. You don't get all the affiliates automatically, though - you do have to do some work.
Clickbank is just a processor of the transactions. They make it easy for you and your customers to do business. Buyers don't actually go to the clickbank website and affiliates go to find products to promote. If your software is new, affiliates probably won't promote straight away since it has no history. Though you could snag a few if you offer an enticing commission. You definitely need to promote your product using all the means necessary. You could look for affiliates on forums and mention how much commission they will get for promoting the product.
We have used Clickbank for years and it will 'do a job' thats all If you are serious and as you are based in Europe this is a top tier solution http://www.tradedoubler.com/pan/cms/portfolio
