How To Make Money From Clickbank Even If You Don’t Have Your Own Product To Sell
Ok, so you you’re now a member of Clickbank but you don’t have your
own product to sell. Not to worry; on Clickbank there are over 10,000
products you can sell. All you need to do is find quality products to
promote.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking just because a product’s listed
on Clickbank that it’s actually any good. Like any store, some products
are fantastic and some are complete kack.
So how do you go about finding products to sell?
Well, for ages that was difficult and time-consuming as Clickbank
didn’t provide a search engine. So what you had to do was click through
hundreds of pages looking at products and trying to find something worth
promoting.
Then (only in the last year), Clickbank finally added a search
engine to their site. Now you can type in keywords and search the entire
database (or specific categories or subcategories) for products that
contain those keywords.Let’s take an example.
Go to: https://www.clickbank.com/marketplace.htm
…the Clickbank Marketplace page that contains the Clickbank Search
Engine.Adsense products are always popular, so type Adsense into the
Keywords box and click the Go button.
At time of writing, 57 Adsense related products were listed in order of decreasing popularity.
The search engine also lets you order the results by Gravity, Earned Per Sale and % Referred. This is what these terms mean:
Gravity:
Gravity determines how popular a
product is by how many affiliates have sold the product. Gravity doesn't
tell you how many affiliates have sold a product (i.e. a gravity of 20
doesn't mean 20 affiliates have sold it) but the 14 higher the gravity,
the more popular the product among affiliates and the more copies are
being sold by those affiliates. Products with a gravity of 70
or over are well established, and popular.
Note: Since high-gravity products are popular, there'll be a fair
amount of competition in selling them. These aren't the products for
affiliate marketing newbies to promote. Competition from knowledgeable,
well-established
affiliates will wipe you out (unless you're extremely lucky).
Newbies to selling Clickbank products are recommended to search
for products with a gravity between 10 and 70. These are potential
rising stars and won't be as heavily promoted as more popular products.
Less competition means a better chance of getting sales yourself.
Earned Per Sale:
You might think this is the
obvious data to sort on. After all, earn more per sale and you you'll
get a bigger bi-weekly check, won't you? Well, not necessarily.Just
because a product offers a big commission payout doesn't mean it's
popular. Bigger fees for a product also means less people are likely to
buy it (the bigger the fee the more the customer will think about
whether or not to part with his cash).
There's a balancing act to consider here. Should you promote a
high-paying product that only gets a few sales a month or a lower-paying
product that sells in bigger quantities? What products you choose
depends on the niches you're particularly interested in. Just don't let
greed rule your thinking!
%Referred:
This tells you how many of the
sales of a product were made by affiliates.So a 60% value means that 60%
of that product’s sales were made by affiliates. More affiliates means
more competition. But more affiliates also means the product is selling
well, so it might be one where you can take a slice of the action.
Popularity:
This is Clickbank's rating of a
product's popularity in the categories and subcatergories where it's
listed. The higher the popularity the better. But the more popular, the
stiffer the competition.
While the Clickbank search engine is a
step in the right direction, it’s really only a starting point in
researching products to promote.
I’ve written some software that makes it easier to find and
research hot Clickbank products to promote, called Clickbank Elite. It
will let you search the Clickbank list of products:
