Well this thread seems to be mostly a motivational thread, but it does give some good examples of what I always tell people.
Usually the people that say Clickbank is a scam are just upset because they weren't able to make any sales. But that has nothing to do with Clickbank being a scam. Clickbank is just an order processing platform, whether someone succeeds or fails depends on the marketing methods they use and the products they select to promote.
As long as Clickbank tracks the orders it gets and pays out to its vendors and affiliates then it can't be called a scam. There can definitely be products sold on there which could be considered scams, but that's a completely separate issue. There's also many products on there that are exceptionally good, and many more that are at least satisfactory. So when you think of trying out Clickbank, just remember it's up to the affiliate to find a good product and a good method to promote it. All that Clickbank does is take care of the order processing when a sale is made.
Good for you. :saeek:
Of course that doesn't mean you need to start talking crap about what someone else is doing for themselves.
There's a lot of people here that would actually love to find something where they can make $90 per day. So while clickbank marketing may not be of use for you, it certainly is a good solution for a lot of people. I'm sure those people could do without the "my e-penis is bigger than yours" dialogue.
Besides, I think the point of this thread was that if you work at clickbank and find a way to get conversions, the next step is to duplicate that for other products. That's a fact with any online marketing method. Find something that works, work it till it's pretty much on autopilot (just as the ebooks make sound so easy to do), and then start duplicating it.
Duplicate enough times and that $90 (that does 'shit all' for you) can grow to $500/day, $1000/day, $2000/day, etc. It just all depends on how well you can duplicate what your succeeding with.
While it's true his main promotion method may be CL, but the fact he's making sales does in fact demonstrate what he says, which is clickbank isn't a scam. You just need to find the right products to promote and a way to send it targeted traffic.
You might even be right that the fact he's using cl might be hard to scale up, but that's not necessarily how he has to scale up either. The money he's making from his first efforts can be used on new campaigns to pay for things he might need. Article writing, SEO, or whatever.
Now that he's had some success, beeHWfan can use that experience to help himself achieve more.
irate:
You nailed it.
So many people slam CB and complain that it is a waste of time, that CB steals affiliate commissions...the list goes on.
This is definitely not true.
CB is exactly what Greywolf said it is; just another affiliate platform.
They are literally one of the easiest affiliate networks to get accepted into, they have a lot of good products to sell across a huge variety of niches, and they have good payouts.
Once you get the ball rolling(through testing and tracking) and are making some sales, all you have to do is duplicate your process.
