Mike - Is - Right. 100% Spot on. If you ask me, you just ruined the most inspirational thread on BHW.
John Hunter made this thread to inspire Clickbank affiliates. Look how successful he is. He never said "Hey folks, could you please send me long lists of newbie questions ... questions you can find the answers to in 3 seconds by using the search function"?
You're not looking for answers. You're looking for a pep talk from a man who's already given one of the biggest "pep talks" any marketer can hope for (7 figure screenshots).
So let me ask you some questions.
Why do you pry for such personal details? Why don't you respect members boundaries? Why can't you use the search function? Why did you ask *20* questions and try to disguise them as 8? Do you not see how selfish you're being? I doubt anyone cares what autoresponder this man uses. And its common sense that most vendors start off as affiliates. Go do some basic research. There is no specific amount of time it takes to make a CB product. It could take a week it could take a year. If you think thats "too much time" I'm not surprised. Using the search function seems to be "too much time" for you.
And you might think its a big difference whether he's making 100k / month or 300k / month but the guy already posted a screenshot showing $1 million in 1 month! Suffice to say he's making a lot of money. And if John Hunter discloses his yearly earnings... this thread will be ambushed with the same repetitive newbie questions 1 after another after another.
Out of the 20 questions you asked him, you could have found the answer to every single one using the search function.
In the time it will take him to answer all those question, he could probably make over $10,000 in sales. Yet you want him to act as a human search button.
I'm not trying to offend you buddy. But imagine that you met Bill Gates and had the chance to ask him 1 question. Would you ask him "what type of pen do you use to sign your contracts?" Because thats very similar to what you're trying to do here.
Wow, brother, wow! What did I ever do to you? I don't know you, you don't know me, shouldn't we be cool? Your post contains a lot of hate and anger towards me.
How did I ruin the most inspirational thread on BHW? John made this thread to inspire us, to show us what's possible with Clickbank. If you make a thread with screenshots of big earnings, of course you should expect people to ask you many questions. Did John make this thread because he wanted to show off his earnings? No, I don't think so.
When I saw his earnings, I was like wow, that's a lot of money! So naturally I started thinking of questions. Instead of keep thinking about them, I decided to just ask John to get some answers. I asked that many questions because I'm serious and would like to know if I can do it too. Other people reading this thread probably got similar questions too so it helps everyone, not just me.
Did I ever ask for very personal info? Did I ask where he lives, what's his mom's name? John's already posted screenshots of his earnings so it isn't like we don't know how much he makes. I respect John so if he doesn't want to answer any of my questions, it's ok with me.
Why can't I use the search function? Why do they need teachers? Why can't they just send kids to school and make them read textbooks all day and figure out everything by themselves? Surely the answers must be somewhere. John is the teacher, we are his students. I'm that kid who asks too many questions. You are that kid who wants to act like a bully.
I can't believe you even took the time to count the number of questions. UNBELIEVABLE! Instead of saying something like why did you ask so many questions, you decided to go through my post and one by one, count how many questions I asked.
I'm not selfish, ok? I'm not the only person with these questions. I'm actually serious about this so I wanted to make sure I got everything right. Other people reading this thread can benefit from John's answers too. I actually took the time to read and analyze everything before asking questions. Yes, I can use search and find some answers from people who make some money. But wouldn't it be better to get some answers from an expert who makes a lot of money?
If you're building lists, you need an autoresponder. So of course those of us who are serious about trying this would like to know what is the best autoresponder to use.
Everyone has to start somewhere, right? Most people start off promoting other people's products then they move on to promoting their own products. If you read the first post, John's telling us to create our own product and then use JVs to build our lists. I was asking if it would be better to do all of that as an affiliate first. The reason's because it takes a lot of time/work to create a product. As an affiliate, you can start right away and build your list. If you are a vendor, you have to create a product first before you can build your list.
Yes, he posted a screenshot showing 1 million in 1 month. But it's revenue and after paying his affiliates, he only got half. Yes, I know he makes a lot of money. But you know, some months are good and some months are bad. So just from looking at his screenshots, I'm not sure whether it is something like $150k/month or $400k/month. I was just asking for a more accurate number since he posted this thread to show us how much money you can make with clickbank.
Oh sure, you're not trying to offend me. The way you emphasized "too much time" and "search function", pretty sure you think that I'm lazy and want people to spoonfeed me.
