How To Understand The Site Where You Have Chosen The Products From

Follow Up From Last Post.

Clickbank Marketplace

1. Sale Price: ($/Sale) This is the amount paid by the customers. The amount earned is kept by Clickbank accounting and pays out every two weeks to the affiliate.

2.  Percentage of Sale: (%/Sale) This is the average percentage commissions earned per affiliate per sale.

3.  Referral %: This is the percentage of sales that people you refer.

4. Gravity of Product: The gravity number is important because it shows the popularity of the product over time. Every time the product is sold or a new affiliate joins and uses the link the gravity of the program will change.

The popularity, price and commission paid of the product is very important.

When it comes to popularity or gravity, unless you are already a Super Affiliate avoid the products with very high gravity (125+), because it means that the market will be highly competitive and the chances of you making sales will be decreased accordingly.

This applies only to Clickbank and not the other commission driven organizations.

CB Trends

In order to find out if a product is good to add to your affiliate site, you will want to check it out at CB Trends (www.cbtrends.com)

This is a free service that shows visual representation of what is on the Clickbank marketplace site making it easier to understand. 

There are some useful tracking tools that give you an easy way to see what is happening with the products you choose including:

What is popularity of the product

How much you can earn per sale

What is percent per sale

What is gravity

 Referrals           

How much commission you will make.

If you take the visual representation, combine it with what you see on Clickbank’s Marketplace, you will have a good idea of whether the product you’re thinking about promoting is a good one.

Out of the 10 products that you pick to promote over time, you will want at least 6 of them to be popular. You want to mix it up so that at least half of what you’re promoting is more competitive. The rest of the products should be up and comers, those products that are new to the marketplace. 

CB Engine

CB engine shows you the new products. This is an excellent tool to use if you want to focus on the new product releases. If you are going to work with Clickbank, which is a best first for a new step  affiliate, CB Engine should be one of the sites you bookmark and use.

There you can find brand new products list, re-listed products with a ton of information to help you make an right choice about the products you want to promote. Each product, new and re-listed, has graphs and visual representations about the health and viability of the products.

There are a couple of ways to go about finding out more about the product or service you are about to promote. 

First, you can buy the product.

Whether it’s digital or tangible, buying and experiencing the product will usually make you a better promoter. Buying all 10 product can work out to be very expensive, you should try to buy 2 or 3 product in the beginning  and look over the sales pages only of the remainder.

When looking over the sales or pitch page, you will want to think in terms of being a prospective buyer. Ask yourself some basic questions:

1. The page, headline and opening paragraph grab your attention?

2.The page is easy to read in terms of colours, graphics and layout of the site?

 3. The message on the page is presented clear and concise and easy-to-understand?

4. The Important facts has been highlights,  the headlines have been broken up with content and pictures and relevant to the topic matters? 

5. The page has lead you to the logical conclusion where you want to buy the product?

All of these things are important, whether people coming through your link will buy or not. If the page can translate the right message this will lead to a sale. 

This is the way, the traffic you drive to the product site stand a higher chance of customer buying in the end. If the page left you with a ho-hum, whatever feeling, that type of page will give your visitors the same reaction.

When you start promoting your affiliate products, make sure that you keep track of the products that are converting well, and the ones that are not. Remember when the product you are selling goes from being hot to warm and then cold, you should be ready to get rid of that product and have new ready to replace the old product.

This is the reason you should not get attached to a product or service. This is why. You have to know when to get rid of it.

Look at the choices you first made on Clickbank and ask yourself the questions from above. Are there any products that you might want to get rid of now?
