First of all I love ClickBank. It is my preferred affiliate network. I actively use ClickBank to make money everyday and so do 1000's of other marketers.
If you are active on Internet you will probably be reeling from the avalanche of specialized ClickBank specific marketing systems being launched.
Yes, it is true there are people earning $40 000 plus per month marketing CB products and we are about to discover the what, where and when of it.
On of the reasons I like to use ClickBank to make money is because they have such a great spread of products and it centralizes my earnings, I prefer to get one big check as opposed to a bunch of smaller one's.
Did you know that the affiliates that use ClickBank to make money, IN FACT make more money than the merchants selling their products. Did you know that they regularly do over $100,000,000 a day in sales.
Because of their Stirling reputation in the market, buyer trust them and it helps you in making the sale. Their no nonsense guarantee policy assures prospects and improves the overall quality of the products on offer.
There are a couple of things that I prefer when researching and selecting a product to promote:
1) A gravity score of more than 100 (the gravity score indicates the number of affiliates actively promoting the product), think about it if they were not making money they won't promote it.
2) A commission of more than $30 (especially if you are going to use PPC), here I also prefer to go for products with recurring payment e.g. a monthly membership, in the long run you make more with these.
3) Then I look for a product with a refund rate of less than 3%, it does not pay to promote inferior products (warning eSlumdog Millionaire is on, most of my sales including myself asked for a refund, don't waste your time)
4) I also do a bit of FREE research on CBEngine.com, there you'll find all sorts of interesting stats, you can do a product search and you will be able to determining if this product is still in an up cycle or if it's flame is fading.
Believe me it is worth your while to do a bit of research, there are more than enough products on ClickBank for you to choose from. It is important that you don't marry a product and that you will cull it if it is a dud.
CRITICAL! Always spend the bulk of your time on your winning campaigns, do not fall into the human trap to focus on the losers and thus pulling your business down, makes sense doesn't it?
Applying the rules above you will be able to use ClickBank to make money, a lot of money. Then there are a number of systems out there that will propel your business to the next level. My favorite Wealthy Affiliate University has a very nifty ClickBank research tool in the back office, you should see it, kick ass!
