Getting Rich With Clickbank

Clickbank is a networking bridge between merchants and affiliates.Whether you are an internet shopper, product owner or an affiliate interested in making big bucks online, you can’t ignore Clickbank because ClickBank has the most active marketplace on internet. If you are a product owner, then your chances of profiting from Clickbank are even greater as you can leverage clickbank's marketplace to make tons of money and all it will cost you is fifty bucks out of your pocket.

As a product owner ,you can get your product listed at CB marketplace ar $50 which is the only out of pocket expense you will make towards CB before your product generates any profit.All you need is a website with your product uploaded called the Product Delivery page.Once you have the website in place , visit the ''Sell Products'' page and read through the benefits of becoming a publisher.Click on the Signup button and fill in the form to get started. You can use the nickname you register with to promote your own products or other products listed in the marketplace.

By listing your product at CB you are placing it before a huge group of active affiliates many of whom earn hundreds of thousands of dollars every month marketing CB products.

To make sure that your product generates enough interest keep the affiliate commission high. Clickbank allows you to pay an affiliate commission between 50-75%.My suggestion is to start with an affiliate commission of 70% for your product. This is the amount you will pay an affiliate when he generates a sale through his affiliate site.So,if your product is priced at $50 and you have selected a %/sale of 70% then you will pay an affiliate $35 for a sale he generates. You can always bring down the commission percentage once your product gets popular.

The affiliates promoting your product don’t just make you money for free but also form a customer base for all your future products provided your products are credible and useful.

Another very important advantage of being a product owner is that with a digital product you don’t have to worry about shipping and handling them. They are promoted and downloaded on purchase from the product delivery page and instantly available to your customers.

Another advantage of being a clickbank publisher is that you never have to hire any staff or buy softwares for tracking your sales or paying your affiliates. The Clickbank tracking system automatically tracks the sales for every affiliate site promoting them and makes payments to affiliates every fifteen days.That is another reason why clickbank is so popular.Affiliates never have to fear delayed payments or no payments for sales generated through their affiliate urls unlike other third party sites where the tracking mechanism and payments are often flawed.

If you don’t have your own product ,you can still make handsome money from CB promoting hot products from CB marketplace as an affiliate.Your first job is to visit the CB marketplace .Once there , select a category of your interest.I have selected Google Adwords as an example.You can find the popular products for Google Adwords from the CB marketplace listed on the page. The first product is Get Google Pay Per Click Ads Free.Just under the product is the $/sale ($37.63).This is the amount an affiliate gets paid for each sale of this product.Next is the %/sale ($75) This is the percentage of the product price that an affiliate earns from every sale.So if the %/sale for this product is 75% and the product is priced at $50 ,then an affiliate will earn $37.50 for one sale from his affiliate link.If you join as a product owner then I suggest you keep the %/sale between 65-75%.

Next is the referred percentage which is a measure of the percentage of affiliates promoting the product.A high referred percentage means that affiliates are promoting this product and the merchant is trust worthy.

Apart from having it’s own merchant account ,CB also has it's paypal account. So, if you live in a country not listed in paypal ,you can still accept payments from customers via paypal and get paid by clickbank twice every month through cheques.No payment processors are involved in getting paid from Clickbank.

So,as an affiliate, I will choose the products that have a lucrative percentage per sale and pay at least $25/sale.This is to make sure that I stay in profit even if the traffic I send to my affiliate link has a low conversion rate.Conversion rate is the number of sales generated per 100 visitors visiting the webpage.So, if you get 3 sales from every 60 visits to your website, then your conversion rate will be 3 divided by 60 multiplied by 100 i.e 5% which is fairly high.

Conversion Rate = Number of Sales X100 / Unique Visitors

Clickbanks refund policy favors the buyer more than the affiliates or product owners.This is to prevent scammers from running away with your hard earned money as clickbank offers their buyers an eight week period from the date of buying a product for claiming refunds.

Refunds – Often, the buyers advantage becomes the sellers disadvantage. With an eight weeks window for refunds some customers might buy a product with the intention of getting a refund .As a product owner you are at the receiving end , but this remains a very small group of people who eventually get weeded out.To guard the merchant's interest ,Clickbank bans a customer with high refund claims from making any purchases through their site. A buyer can't use a credit card with which he has made three consecutive refund claimsfor clickbank products.

Processing Fee- The processing fees at clickbank is 7.5% + $1 per transaction.This may apparently seem high to some , but with the added benefits of state of the art tracking system, the chance of showcasing your products to a huge base of savvy affiliates and automatic timely payments made to affiliates on a biweekly basis, I think it’s a very small cost to pay to Clickbank , especially when it’s not an out of pocket expense.It's like outsourcing a headache to someone who knows how to manage it.

If you have a digital product that could help people find a solution to a problem , then ClickBank is the place to get it the exposure it needs.
