No Sales Since 10 Days Ago! What is going on?

Not true. Try with a shared proxy and then tell me how many captchas do you think people from countries with shared ips are gonna see before reaching order page.

90% of clickbank clients (for eng products) are Americans with high disposable incomes; how many of these would have this issue?

Btw I tried this using two proxies (UK and US) with a shared ip and didn't see any capthas...

Same here! I almost gave up on CB when I had similar numbers. I was sending thousands of visitors and got nothing. Granted I only use free traffic sources so it stands to reason my conversions would be a lot lower than someone sending targeted PPC traffic or more targeted sources. I want to get back into DB again but I am worried that a lot of the offers on there have been sold to death.

I have lots and lots of resources and locations I can post to on social media and other sites don't have the time to sit down and generate content for them all if the returns are so low.

I have LOTS of resources in the work from home, aff marketing niches and also lots in the Weight loss niches. All the products you can easily find on CB seem like they will do well, so I will give it a go.

I just have to get some sites or articles up so that I can start sending traffic to them.

Again friend, no sale for a week!

can somebody tell me a good cb alternative?

The sales have dropped significantly for me aswell in 2017 both for paid traffic and organic traffic. Conversion rates and epcs are at an all time low!

My conversions have dried up as well but it's not just Clickbank. I honestly think people have zero money to spend (at least in my niche). Not sure how you fix that until the US/Europe economies pick up...

Its also the end of the month so maybe people are waiting to get paid?

Think I'm going to try some emerging markets...

Which traffic you use to promote your product right now ? And are you offer any ebook to your clients with your landing page ?

Bumping this thread, because I am experiencing the same problem now. Sales have dropped 50-fold for the past 30 days, traffic and order form impressions are same, or even up. If it was a steady slow decrease for a few days I'd understand, but a steady income has instantly disappeared overnight and for very close to a month now..This has happened to me many times before actually, but not for this long as far as I recall and not at this time of year..But those long periods of no-sales that eventually correct themselves have always been a mystery to me.

It's gotten to the point where I keep refreshing the analytics like 100 times a day, I just want to get a few sales so that I can close the damn thing and go back to working knowing things are flowing normally..

Is this an economy thing? Is there a graph somewhere where we can look? GDP maybe? I remember years ago there was this cb-analytics website that had a graph of the "clickbank index". I guess it was just a graph of the combined average gravity of the top 100 products or something. Whenever I'd have a bad period, I'd always look at that graph and it would be down, so I'd feel better knowing it's not a problem with my offers.

Overall for me sales are dropped comparing the same period last year and not only cb, other network too!

Although I left clickbank many years ago after making " a decent amount" I always kept an eye on the possibilty of trying to come back to milk CB again. But everytime I enter to this CB section on the formun, I mostly find people ( veteran members, like you ) complaining about dropped sales, people asking for other networks to monetize and so on. Which makes me think the best option is to stay away from CB at the moment .

it seems CB is profitable now just for succesful vendors and top affiliates ( back in the past , a "smart average affiliate" could make a living of it ). I rembember those old good days in the forum when many members used to post their happy screenshot earnings and nobody was complaining about the fact of having 10 days without a sale.

only one thing springs to mind


enjoy

I forgot to mention about what I call " the amazon effect". Some or my friends are the typical "average Joe" when it comes to deal with the internet. Most of them are now hooked to buy everything on amazon. Even things that they can find on the shop from the very next corner. Indeed, they go the shop in the corner, check the product and then go online to order it from amazon. Amazon is going crazy. It has come to the point that a popular brand such as Nike , will sell directly on amazon instead of focusing on growing its own e-commerce site :

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...ll-nike-shoes-directly-through-brand-registry

Buyers are now used to purchase on amazon and get impressed by fact that many of your visitors that liked the clickbank product your promote, will leave the sales page to go and see if they can find that digital product in amazon. A sale you missed anytime this happens.... . Also mobile traffic is becoming bigger, hurting sales online ( will you introduce your credit card details on a site you visit for the first time, from your phone or your tablet? ) Desktop traffic which is now residual used to be the one that converted on digital products.

You know internet is always changing and what used to make good money some years ago could not bring a dime home now. It´s not your site that fails, it´s not your youtube videos , it´s not your PPC campaigns . The pattern of behavior in the middle internet purchaser is changing. And under my point of view it´s far away from what clickbank can offer nowadays.

That was a good post stallion45d, thanks. I incorporated a physical product from my CPA network into my landing page, will see if it converts better.

@stallion45d

Re your economy statement. Check out this graph from the Federal Reserve - h t t p s ://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2V

People are just not exchanging money. That's to lowest velocity of money since records began!

Well, that graph is showing a steady decline since 2010..

@alexa_s

Which corresponds with my slow death in sales. Not just Clickbank, but all my online income. I just cant seem to get conversions anymore. Maybe I need to change niche to a more prosperous one. Im in health/fitness mainly...

What niches are people in that are still getting sales?

Stop making conspiracy theories and start working harder. Re-think your marketing strategies and sales funnels. I've been doing affiliate marketing for over 2 years now and all I can see is growth in sales each month. I haven't reached 1k/day yet but I believe, I will, by the end of 2017. Hard work pays off. So stop whining and get back to work.

Hey @rolas_c

You are absolutely right, I do need to re-think my marketing strategies. If you wouldn't mind, can you give me any hint as to what traffic sources are working at the moment? and what niches you are in? Bing and PPV(rtxplatform) seem dead for everything I've been trying lately. I'm just hemorrhaging money.

Niche doesn't matter Here's a working funnel. Facebook Ads -> collect leads (offer freebie) -> send valueble follow-ups with a soft-sell to the offer -> optimize and scale.

It might look like an easy task but trust me it isn't. It requires some time to set it up right.

The fact that you ( one single person ) found a good method / way to make money does not change that selling CB Pdfs is now 10 times harder than it used to be. I have made 1k per day a few times on CB in the past. Even that way , I can´t see from another angle that CB is slowly dying.
