Seriously.. Fuck clickbank.

Happy to report I have grossed over $160 in sales in the last 2 days. I changed my sales copy and made it even more compelling, now I'm getting 1 sale per 20 hops. Thanks for all your support.

I guess it's time to change the subject of your thread to "Seriously, Clickbank is the love of my life".

I assume you're still promoting the same "non converting" products but changed the elements on YOUR side to reach the income level you're currently in?

Mike.
 
Invested about $1000 in links; hosting; domains; some content for 2.0s, many hours manually making 2.0s, forum posts, press releases etc. Now I got a steady flow coming in:

Yesterday: $274.91
Today (2/3 of the day): $216.05

It's not much, a lot of the people in here make ten times this, but hey 274 is a fourth of my rent here. :)

Just keep working, I didn't make shit on CB except for an occasional sale now and then. It is all about split testing, and finding good products. You have to tailor your pre-sale page to the landing page of the vendor, that's the one thing I figured out. If the vendors site is very 'salesy', just inform about the product. If the vendor's site is very 'laid back', you can sell it harder.

I don't do Youtube, but build authority sites. I write a lot of informative content. Feel free to ask (no PM, I'll answer here).

Edit: just to be a dick: my income from CB today ended at $445.16 ;)

Haha, mission accomplished, you are a dick :D Race you to $1000 a day! I love making beautiful authority websites as well, when I feel that I'm actually offering value to people who genuinely need help. We should do a journey thread and offer motivation to people who might be starting off.
 
its not clickbanks fault.. im sorry. Your attracting the wrong traffic.
 
eveneven, would you please tell us how you did it? Or point us toward a few resources that were helpful to you?
 
@eveneven: You write all of your content by yourself or hire someone to do that?
 
Don't hate the game - blame the player ;-)

If it's not working for you - it's not Clickbank's fault - it's yours!
 
There's just so many factors when it comes to converting CB products it's hard to point it out.

How are you bring the traffic? Direct to landing page? Pre-selling?
 
I write it all myself; I like it and it's a good ROI so far. However, I buy articles for 2.0s sometimes.

On one of my sites I get my girlfriend to write, because she enjoys writing about it and is also a native English speaker.
 
You sure you targeting the right keywords?
I've never liked Clickbank and their policy, cj, amazon, linkshare & a few cpas, thats all I promote.
Sorry to hear, but it is not a waste, your domain is up there so do the most of it and just change the layout to promote other stuff.

I'm totally agreed with you mate.
 
Is there a place or person you all would recommend a beginner check out, other than the forums here?
 
Phobos, I think I know what your problem is. You're ranking for 'Eat Stop Eat review', why not rank for like 'book on losing weight' or 'good/best weight loss book', that way you can gain traffic that's interested in buying a weight loss book, instead of people that already know what the weight loss book is and are looking for a review. When I want a book I look for my review on Goodreads, then I go to Amazon or wherever the fuck and buy it, I usually never buy off a landing page. I think you're most definitely targeting the wrong longtail man. The people currently searching this keyword already know about the book and most likely already know where to get it, and are just looking for information on whether they should buy it or not (from the place they learned about it).

You should probably be going with a different strategy and target a new keyword. You're being outranked by Goodreads and that's really not a good thing. Maybe try posting a review on Goodreads of the book and post a link to the review on your site and say like 'if you want my full thoughts and opinions on this book then read my review here'.
 
Same here man. 500 hops 0 sales. I search for another network.
 
Thanks King Midas. I think I fell into the review trap because Amazon products have insane conversion percentages when 'product%name reviews' is the keyword you're ranking for. I'm going to scour for some nice buyer KWs now, since ranking isn't a problem for me anymore, I'll report back results.
 
Cool man. I think Amazon does so well as reviews because you're just directing the person right back to where they found the product to begin with.
