What do you think? Even though we are in the virtual world of internet, our customers are real people with real needs, real jobs and real money (luckily!) What impact do you think the US (possibly worldwide soon) Economy slowdown will have on the clickbank sales? I believe it will depend on the market niche of the product. Some might go up and some might go down buti think that the overall drop should be about 15-20% (i have no idea what im talking about. just an estimation).
Erm, in some niches you make more money during bad times, so might be an idea to add increased sales to your poll. Which is why I can't vote with the above options. David Law
In some niches I work with, I'm having exploding sales in others it's slightly below normal. SEO-Expert is right, it's all about your niche.
It is more likely that CB will affect my sales than the economy! I think that more people will be interested in IM products as they look for top up earnings (just like me!)
OFF TOPIC Have a read around the forum for advice and then if you can't see what you are after start your own thread buddy.
Oh, just read it again. There is word "will". No "are". So don't cry without a reason too soon. "i have no idea what im talking about" I agree with you
I do not know what the reason is – Economy or CB glitch but September 2008 is worst month for me as an affiliate from far 2005…
Well september has been a very prosperous month for me and Clickbank sales. Maybe some of you need to reach a more worldwide demographic.
Totally Agreed with SEO-Expert. MMO products are *HOT* right now... but mine still hasn't sold... ? .. My sales page must suck.... Anyway.. More people are looking to Make Money Online now... becuase the Economy is down.. Weight Loss is still Hot Too as I am still getting FL4I sales....
Special niches should grab the opportunity now.. yeah.. some other niches performs out of the ordinary... but about the US Economy.. I think they will experience again millions of lines of people to just get food from the government which had happened in the "Great Depression".
So this picture shows how much sales happened in what amount of time in whole CB ? Or only in portion which covered by CB anylytics (Active products 7519, Inactive products 11798) ?
Economic slowdown will reduce the buying power of people. It is expected that Clickbank sales may slow down as the US grapples with its financial crisis.
