I'm considering selling my Clickbank diet product as I've really become distracted by other things. I do think it has the potential to be a big money maker, still. I just don't want to deal with it anymore. The numbers haven't been great lately as I haven't made much effort to promote it recently. Over the past three months it's made a total of 41 sales (that's with no real ongoing effort on my part and no advertising going on.) Anyway, I'm not desperate to sell it or anything, it brings in some passive income. It's more that I'd just sort of like to move on... and if someone else wants to take the reins and really explore the full potential, that could be great. So this is a very tepid "feeler" to see what kind of interest (if any) there is. I may change my mind and decide to spend a bit of time on on it again...
Do you have a price in mind you'd be interested in selling it for? If you don't want to disclose the information in public, you can send it to me via PM.
I would probably start the bidding at about $5,000 on SitePoint. Why? Because that's the amount of money I figure I can make pretty much on "auto-pilot" over the next few years. So it would be crazy for me to accept less than that. Like I said, I'm not desperate to sell this at all... I just kind of want to move on so I can work on other things without thinking about this, but I'm not willing to just give it away because it does still bring in some passive income even without me doing anything and: 1. Everything is entirely original. This is not some PLR nonsense. The product and even all of the bonus products were created from scratch. 2. I've done a lot of work building at least some brand name recognition... there are searches for this brand name because of it. 3. I'm positive that this could become a huge money maker for someone if they really put the time and effort into it. At it's peak it was over an 11 Gravity so it has shown the ability to do well. I think the landing page needs to be improved. I haven't worked on it in a long time because I'm trying to "move on." --- A couple of other notes: 1. There's a "BANS" store on the domain... I don't know if I would be able to transfer that, it may be too difficult. Actually, I'm not even sure if I would legally be allowed to do that. But what you could do is buy the BANS software yourself and recreate the store as it exists now before the search engines de-indexed it. This is not a huge deal as this store brings in very little income. But if it's something you want to build upon, that's how you could do it. 2. I would include this domain as a part of the sale because it's part of the "alternate landing pages" thing I set up... which I never really pursued properly, but which could still be implemented.
You make approx. $8.50/sale. You are avg. appx. 14 sales/month. So you are making on avg. approx. $120/month. There is no set formula but this is what you can expect. Products with established sales and a history of affiliates will sale for 6-10 months of earnings.(this number can fluctuate if the product is in a red hot niche like the energy niche 6 -10 months ago.) Products with less sales and with little gravity can range on avg. from 8 - 20 months of sales. I would see your product going for $1500-$2000. If someone had a good copywriter and an army of affiliates they may be willing to pay more. You could also see a higher price if someone already has the traffic for this niche and wants to plug in their own product vs. affiliating with someone elses.
domaininc, your calculations are wrong because a lot of the sales are directly through the site or through my own affiliate links so I often get $33 per sale. I'm just saying how much I'd be willing to sell it for. Like I said, I am not desperate to sell this, I'm making plenty of money. There's no way it's going for less than $5000. If someone doesn't want to offer that, then I'll keep it.
How much does your site make a month? How much did it make this past month? What about July September and August? Would you be including your whole package like PPC keywords n everything? Do we get the account you use to drive sales to your website? Are you going to create another diet product after this sale?
1.) I don't use PPC. Any sales I make are natural at this point. I can't stand dealing with PPC, drives me bonkers, so I don't bother with it. I'm more of an article marketing type of dude. 2.) No I am definitely not including my own affiliate account as that account is used to drive sales mostly to other products. And anyway, it would be useless as I would simply change my links to my new CB account if I were to include it. 3.) My paychecks for this year have totaled just under $3000 for the dayoff account itself. Now I was doing some advertising earlier in the year so things have slowed down recently. Over the last 15 days (for example) it's made just five sales. 4.) I've actually made two sales today both either through my links or direct so that's $67 right there... Hmm... Maybe it's a sign I shouldn't try to sell it after all? I think it's one of those things where if someone took it and put some effort into it, it could be huge. I'm just mostly working on other stuff that I enjoy doing a lot more. 5.) I will definite NOT create any other diet product, or any clickbank product for that matter*. I kind of hate clickbank, I'm concentrating on other things these days. (* actually I do have some slight interest in creating some relaxation mp3s for sale that I would sell here but there's a very good chance that will never happen and even if it does, it doesn't have anything to do with this product.)
hornetss, I might try SitePoint... I was just sort of "testing the waters" here... I haven't really decided what I want to do. Part of me thinks I should put a little more work into it... but part of me just wants to forget about it. I'm doing really well right now with other stuff so... it's not a make or break either way.
Zib, If you're having doubts and or an itch to start over - YOU SHOULD! That itch should be enough proof for you. You've championed this one, and can probably do a MUCH better job the second/third time around. I know that I've learned my most important lessons through trial and error of many products and now each new launch/product is better and better from the start. Don't let this hold you back or keep kicking it - either automate it and forget about it - let it be a silent earner for you, or sell it off asap, and motor forward on your next product/offer... N.
