Opinions regarding clickbank?

Does it work?
I was having a look at the products and they seems a bunch of bullshit.
Are they all scams? Or there are products that work?
Has anyone ever gotten a review product and tested it?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Usually it's about do they sell, which you seem to be asking if the products work. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it's subjective to the individual whether or not the products "work". I think you are promoting responsibly if you see value in the product, otherwise maybe Clickbank products are not the right choice for you to promote.

Bottom line, I'd say it's highly subjective to the individual as to whether they work or not.

With respect to the weight loss niche, sure some products could work, but it takes the work from the buyer to put the actual work into following the plan. This is how I sell the products and can sleep at night. Most things I promote could work but only if the person using them is serious and follows through.

If you're actively selling the product, you could use the rate of refunds to gauge just how effective buyers perceive the product to be, otherwise what works for some, others may just not want to put the effort into finding out. They do sell, but it takes a crazy amount of effort in my experience to make a good living from selling them. I'm still not there yet, but I'm getting better at it all the time.

I wouldn't say they are all scams, but you could use that as a keyword to rank and try and sell them (just beware because some vendors don't like affiliates doing this, read the fine print first). I try to sell only products that I've personally reviewed first and that have physical shippable media, that way I know the buyers are getting something solid besides just a PDF and are less likely to refund.

I've seen some really solid products and I've seen some that seem to promise the world and still do well with very few refunds, it is what it is, and that is as I perceive it, highly subjective.

Of course it works, what kind of question is that?
The people who say it doesn't haven't tried hard enough, or went for a dumb product.
You shouldn't judge too much, as most of the products that sell well look like absolute bullshit, but target people with some sort of chronic pain if you're currently in the health niche, or attempt to learn more about it. People with those kind of problems don't pay much attention to the product itself, as long as it promises a relief from the things they're going through.

Some vendors will allow you to test their product if it's good.. usually if they won't it's because they're offering bs. There is a lot of junk in their listings, but there are some real winners in there as well. I've been an affiliate with them for 12 years and I can say every now and then a hot product will drop and its best to try and push it asap before too much competition comes in. There are a few products that have hadone longevity, and that's because they're actually quality products and not just some fly by night products to make a buck.

If you have good traffic, it's worth giving it a shot. I wouldn't pump all my traffic to them, unless you're using ppc.. but even when I send free traffic, I get pretty decent conversion rate. Good landing pages, and review pages seem to have worked best for me over the years. I know a couple people that promote direct to offer, but I find warming them up first converts better. Give 'em try, it can't hurt.. good luck.

No all the products are not b.s. There is true value in some of the products

Of course there will be some products that are not 'valid'. But in general i think Clickbank is great. I never had problems with their products in past. Just my opinion.

I suggest sorting them based on some criterium.

There are a lot of garbage products but that's the thing...you need to find that hidden gem. There are definitely some awesome products over there, just gotta find them

There are a lot of crap products but there are a few diamonds in the clickbank river too. Just ask the vendor for a review copy and judge for yourself. But please don't just email them 'gimme a free copy'; that will get ignored (including by me). Instead, introduce yourself and outline your marketing strategy and your current marketing experience. Explain why you feel a review copy will help you in your marketing efforts.

There are a lot of great products on clickbank, including ours.. You can just do your filtering and research.

Look for gravity and other stats. If refund rate is low, it means it is NOT a scam and people enjoy it.
