Clickbank: Campaign #1 Launched
-
It took a while to get back into the swing of things after the weekend but I have just launched my first clickbank campaign in this case study. It will be interesting to see how it goes because I’ve never really had any success with clickbank in the past.
I know that their payment methods suck too in the beginning with them holding 10% (I think) back for 90 days in case of refunds.
I will report back tomorrow with the first days statistics.

Richard, thanks for doing this series as it’s a lot of fun to read about. All my income comes from promoting CPA and private offers and I’ve never really had any luck with Clickbank. Regarding payment, they also withhold payment until you get a certain number of mastcard and visa sales. So if you get a bunch of paypal sales you have to wait. Anyways, I’m curious to see how things pan out for you on the Clickbank side.

I thought I read somewhere that CB pays commissions on a weekly basis. I haven’t really looked much into CB though because I have a perception that it is saturated with a lot of ‘crap’ products.

awesome cant wait to see results. ive only been able to launch 1 successful ppc campaign, and that was last year with a clickbank product. was doing 1,000 a day, $300-500 a day profit for about a month until google killed it. I need to stop being lazy and get back on it. I have no disposable income to spend on ppc.. sigh

Josh you have to get paid like 3 paper checks in a period of x time before you can switch over to weekly wires and you also have to get a x number of different credit card sales like Jason said before you can even get your first paper check.
And you’re right, there’s a ton of crap on ClickBank

Hey Richard,
This might be something to consider for clickbank.
I could never get anything to work well with CB. So I tried creating an optin form instead. Signed people up for a ‘7 Day Cours For Blah’. Send the course over 7 days each day promoting the product.
After the 7 days send follow up emails every day or 2 with reminders or more information.
It worked well.
Clickbank is hard to cold convert, try thinking outside the box a little if you have limited success.
Good luck bro

Hi guys…
I realised this post is a few months old but wanted to touch on something important here!
The conversion rate for Clickbank products is typically between 1-2%. The trick is to go after the ever green markets that you think will last a year from now…an example is that Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle book. Stay away from the making money/internet marketing ones as the get way to saturated.
Also, make sure you check out the merchant profile and their the market trend…whether it has increased or decreased over 30 days.
My very first campaign was from Clickbank and was a profitable one.
