First clickbank (Advise needed)

Hello...after spending some time reading here and there about clickbank with bing and steps to take, I finally decided to make a move What I did was I looked for a high gravity weight loss product, perfomed a market and product research and it turns out there's a high demand and the product has a very high monthly search. So I got me about 70 exact match keywords, setup a bing campaign approximately 16 hours ago which sends people to my landing page so I can capture leads before they get sent to the product's sales page. So far, I have got 27 clicks, 2,556 impressions, 1.06% CTR, 0 conversions and 0.26 Avg. CPC (ALL according to Bing). Also, I have 3 leads so far and on my clickbank product stats, it appears I have 22 Hops(don't know what it means tho). I am on a budget so could only afford $100 for now which made me set my daily budget at $25. I wouldn't want to end up losing $100 so I'd like to know if I am on track so far or there's something wrong somewhere as it appears to be not so impressive to me considering the clicks, upt-ins and conversions I have gotten compared to the impressions. I must say again this result is so far in 16 hours. I appreciate ur response

Try the free leads system at workorjobs.com you get a free autoresponder and it also generates free leads from other people if you give it away to them.

You can use it on all you CB promotions, it also creates free capture and splash pages.

Wow I would check it out never heard of workorjobs. Seems intersting. I use getresponse atm tho as they give a 30day trial. But I'll definitely check out workorjobs Can u say anything about my progress so far?

You may need over 100 clicks or hops to the product to get any chance of a sale.

Using advertising will be expensive as if you do manage any sales it will just pay for your advertising.

Building a list is the way to go, so you have free access to your list.

Oh kk. I guess I'll have to see how it goes btw now and tomorrow then. Also I would really try and gather leads. It appears the be very profitable at the long run

You shouldn't be targeting high gravity products yet if you don't know what your doing.

Most suffer from "paralysis by analysis", i.e. they think too much into it, focus too much on learning the theory, and never taking action as they never feel they know enough to give it a go.

Others try, but make the classical mistake of opting to go for a high gravity (100+) product as they feel these are the easiest to get sales from. WRONG! These products will have wayyy too much affiliate competition, and practically all avenues of promotion will be saturated. The only way to make sales out of these products is either if you are very good at a particular skill (e.g. SEO, ranking YT videos, etc...) or if you can think outside the box and promote using a method that very few think about.

I suggest you read Mancar's guide on selecting CB products to promote.
It's a quick guide and could save you money.
And hops are the amount of times someone has clicked on your affiliate link.

@sssteve idk if workorjobs is your landing page or not
either way stop posting that so called "free leads system"
read the damn TOS...it's not free LOL

Thanks JB u came on at a time I was already getting confused having 150 clicks, 33hops, 23,937 impressions, 0.63% CTR and 0 conversion. the link u gave me is very informative. Thanks for making me see it. Funny I've read it before but didn't bookmark and couldn't remember the name of the thread or whatever. I'll stop this campaign and choose a new product. Something I do not undertand is since hops is the number of times my aff link is clicked, what then is 'clicks' under my bing stats? It appears my clicks is higher than my hops. Thanks again

Based on the stats bing provided your ad appeared on someone's screen 23,937 times
that includes reloaded pages and your actual ad got clicked on 150 times to leaving you
a 0.63% ctr [150 clicks/23,937 impressions=0.63% ctr]
Your affiliate link was clicked 33 times on the landing page your using out of the
150 visitors. And 0 visitors decided to buy the clickbank product immediately.
Since your promoting clickbank, your clickbank stats will be important to check your stats too.
