Too many noobs are jumping straight to creating their own products with terrible web designs, poor quality products, bad sales pages. Every second post in CB forums these days begins with 'NEW PRODUCT!' Who agrees?
It's one of the few reasons I hang around these forums, I love it when newbs come up with innovative niches for me to potentially promote. If their product looks crap I won't promote it but would I rather they didn't give it a go, hell no.
Agreed there should be some quality control put in place on Clickbank to stop the swarm of nooblet products.
There is a quality control but I am not sure how advance this is or how extensive it goes. I know that Clickbank don't really look in to the product much but instead check out the sales page.
Some of you must not know about the notoriously ugly, and yet for some odd reason highly converting clickbank sales page formula. It's like a used car salesman with a Tupe' and a cheap polyester suit. Ugly as hell but can sell a product like nobody's business.
I agree, everybody is doing the dsame thing. Before i continue woriking with Forums Like this, a Question WHO IS making money with affiliates? Every body is doing the same thing.
The market is a competitive one. it has no room for noobs. Most if not all these products will not do well.
A more strict quality control from clickbank would make everyone work harder and produce higher quality products. However, its not an easy task to have such a quality control in place - how can anyone tell if a products converts (or is of good quality) or not? Noobs eventually understand that having a bad product is a waste of time and money - they are the one that really loose.
Clickbank accepts them, takes the $49 activation fee, and watches the sites drown their way out of the market place. That's business... I am sure these activation charges add up to some serious profit figures.. These 1-2 gravity sites really aren't causing any harm because the big players shine out like stars.. Personally, I want Clickbank to be a financially stable company because my paycheks are in their hands.
It really doesn't matter if you have a crap product, crap sales page, etc. All that matters is that if you have the big guns and JV's lined up to promote your product. The noobs spend all their time on creating the product and not getting anything in place to launch it except maybe a forum post. The guys that do real well spend all their energy in launching the product which I guess it might not seem fair to the noobs that spend the time on the product, but that's the way it is and always will be with CB.
why does it bother you, everyone of us have started our journey in IM as a noob and seasoned as we learnt. Remember failures are the stepping stones to success
I agree that a lot are coming out with bad quality web design and sales pages, but I don't really see them posting here, but just get listed in the CB marketplace in hopes of getting rich, but most the 'NEW PRODUCT' alert threads here seem to be of good quality hardly any I've seen posted here have poor web design/sales page/product. I personally get excited every time I see one of these 'NEW PRODUCT' threads. Makes me feel like a kid on christmas unwrapping a present (not that I like everything I unwrap, but its still fun)
Tell me about it! People think putting a site in clickbank will immediately attract a swarm of affiliates and they will just cash in. Doesn't happen like that unless you happen to have that great product and sales page that converts great. You still have to put in work to get jvs and affiliates. Mike
Hey, how do you exactly define a "Noob"? Most of the vendors here are a "one man" business. Do you call a "noob", a person with a crappy product? Well, we all know that these phonescan, number scan, legal scan, directories are all CRAP products/scams and all that information is available for free. I know they do sell well. So i do think you are a "noob" yourself. Most of those selling "make money" ebooks are scammers as well. Watch yourself before you call anyone a noob.
