If you are in the
internet world for quite some time
then you must have heard about Clickbank.
If you still don’t have any idea and
you are asking yourself what is clickbank,
then you arrived at right place. Here
you will discover what
is clickbank and know
how to make most out of it?
If you have ever looked out for “money
making opportunity” or on any topic
like “how to loose weight” or “how
to et rid of acne” on the internet
then you must have came across several
e-books offering you information related
to your need. Most of these e-books
are sell through a World Wide Web
largest marketplace known as ClickBank,
where publisher lists these e-book
and affiliates sell it to make commission
from it. The percentage of amount
to be paid to affiliate and all the
hassle involved in selling and buying
is tackled by ClickBank.
In other words ClickBank is an affiliate
program network. They are the middleman
between actual product seller and
the affiliates. As you know there
are much work involved in selling
and buying online, so clickbank do
all this by showing statistics of
how many sale has been made and also
handle off all the payments procedure
involved. They do charge some amount
of money both from Product seller
as well as from affiliates, whenever
a sale is made.
It only allows digital products to
be listed on their website. At presently
they contain more than 10000’s digital
products (E-bbok and Software related
product is known as digital product).
Clickbank program is free to join
for affiliates but if you are seller
and want to list your product on clickbank
marketplace then you have to pay $49
activation fee to be included in ClickBank’s
Marketplace.
If you join clickbank as an affiliate
then you can select a product from
variety of category based on your
expertise and interest. The lists
of different categories are Business
to Business, Health & Fitness,
Home & Family, Computing &
Internet, Money & Employment,
Marketing & Ads, Fun & Entertainment,
Sports & Recreation and Society
& Culture. Each category is categorized
into sub-category.
You can also search the product by
keywords, their popularity, Gravity,
$ Earned/Sale, Future$, Total$/Sale,
% Referred. Each of these terms is
explained below.
Commissions will range from 10% to
75% but on average most of the product
will pay you 50% commissions when
sale occurred through your affiliate
link.
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 30 doesn't
mean 30 affiliates have sold it) but
the higher the gravity, the more popular
the product among affiliates and the
more copies are being sold by those
affiliates. Products with gravity
of 70 or over are well established,
and popular. I will suggest you to
go for product gravity between 70-100.
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).
%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.
