    I just figured I would post and share with everyone because i'm so happy because I finally got my first sale with clickbank after 3 weeks of trying I finally done it :)!

    I have had 37 clicks and 1 sales, that is a pretty good conversion rate I thought, my commission was $24.92
    I was promoting a product from the health and fitness category.

    Congratulations! But you can do better than 12 hops (clicks) per week. I think it is hard at the beginning, like everything, but in short-middle time we should aim for a minimum of 1 sale per day.

    In that sense I am lucky because before focusing on clickbank and setting myself a goal of $2000 / month (with deadline by the end of the world) I was quite successful with adsense, which is almost all about getting traffic, but after a ban of my account, I'm left with a good amount of traffic but to a variety of pages, so that my first move was to try to make use of this traffic by having a contextual widget. Since clickbank's own widget hopad builder has been terminated on 4th september, if I didn't find one, I would have went ahead and created mine. This is my first move, then I'll have to work on what I've read many times works, that is getting highly targeted traffic, building a list and having a relationship with people subscribed to my list. I'm lucky also because last year I took a subscription to aweber just so I could email my members on my adsense revenue sharing sites without having to deal with mass-email limitations, so at least I have something to start with. But during the year I haven't used my list much at all, so when I'm done with the first stage (not finished) then I will be able to use it more.

    Bravo! It all starts like this and if you duplicate and NEVER give up, you will make it.

    I havent had anymore sales, guess i need to try finding different sources of traffic

    I just got one question, lets say I can get one sale a week off this products, should I just keep makes pages for different products to make 1 sale off each products a week?

    I don't know what you should do, I'm not in the best position to give you advise as I'm also trying all sort of products and ways to get traffic to them (including paying for it), hoping to find something that works. Once I find that then I'll try to do more of it. If it continues to work then I'll do more, etc..
    At the moment I'm still trying to find something, and also reading up to try to learn more things about it until it clicks :)

    the niche you have chosen weightloss (i suppose) is very competitive, because there is a lot of demand, so it is a dilemma for newbies like us

    Your first sale is always great,, But clickbank will now take your commission back, bit by bit, a dollar at a time. Only way to stop this is to make 4 more sales very soon.

    My niche isn't weight loss but still very competitive but how I see it if the gravity is high it is selling so if i get it out in front people I should make some sales
    Great how am I going to make 4 sales, after I make those 4 sales will that never happen to me, taking money away?

    You need to make more sales, fast..

    1..You will need to make sales from 5 or different credit card numbers.
    2..Must be a mix of both Visa and MasterCard, No Mix, No Pay.
    3..As most people like to pay with PayPay, and you start to make lots of sales, your commission will be put on hold until you have done 1 & 2 above.
    (You could make 30 sales and never get a penny in commission)

    But that the good stuff,, the really bad stuff comes after 90 days if you still have not met terms 1 & 2 above.

    Hope this helps..

    Yes, simply read all about clickbank in their FAQ and help pages.
    I did spend the time to study all they had to say in their help pages.
    So you'll understand what satguy is trying to say, but not clearly at all.
    Me I say, do not worry about that part, because the goal is not to make so few sales that you'll start losing money slowly via clickbank's rules.
    The goal is to make a number of sales per week enough to be interesting, that's the goal, think earning big not about saving little.

    I thought I laid it out very well.

    My post reduced two very very long pages of TOS from the Clickbank site, (Yes they do have 2 full pages of TOS)

    In over 10 years, only 2 guys have ever managed to get paid by Clickbank, and one of them was the owners brother..

    Search the type/kind of product you want promote in clickbank search. Then after the list comes up, choose the ones which have Grav (gravity) between 10 - 300.
