Yes, as I research this option, it might not be an option to sell at a price of $12 through clickbank. There minimum might be $50.00. My thinking is that you sell on clickbank in order to attract affiliates that might push your sales through the roof. I too have spent my share of “big” money on programs I thought would make me money all on clickbank. It seems smaller how-to reports, which is what I had in mind, it might make more sense to sell those through another service like pay pal. In creating products, creating smaller pieces that eventually comprise a larger program seemed an easier hill to climb to an end goal. And then, if you are going to break your creation phase down into smaller units, you might as well make those parts available for sale right away to make money while you create it.

You’re certainly welcome. A thought that goes wide of the origi
nal assumption is .. becuase there is certainly money to be made selling other people’s products on ClickBank does not translate directly to the conclusion that if one has his/her own product it should be sold on ClickBank.

Why not sell it on your own? another thought that I subscribe to is $12 is way too cheap … but then again, that’s kind of a personal decision. In my case, though, I wouldn’t even visit the landing page for a $12 product … I have, however, visited a lot of more expensive authors and ahve spent as much as $89 for something I was sure I was going to get a rate of return on.

So my thinking was kind of on track. Yes, I agree. If you are going to sell a product on clickbank, it seems to me that if you make an outstanding product that would go along way. It is such a great idea selling books electronically, that it seems stupid to have to hard sell all of them. Now that I’ve put it out there, just trying to figure out the best approach. I know that I’ve read clickbank will shut down customers returning to much stuff and I’ve pretty much ruled out asking for sample copies. Thanks for saving me a step.

I had a distantly related idea a few weeks back. Approached a couple authors selling ClickBank products for review copies. If they had answered back and said, ‘sorry, we don’t do that, do this and this and this, or read a review here or there’, I would have some respect. Instead, absolutely zero response from all except one who was using an outsourced customer support service whom I don’t think was even able to understand my email.

Lessons learned? All the ones who didn’t respond are off my possibilities list. Even worse than sending customers to a so so product, in my view, would be sending them to authors who are rude.

Number two … make liberal use of ClickBank’s return policy. Perhaps under a pseudonym. I don’t know at what point CB ‘shuts down’ purchasers who serially buy and refund, buy and refund, but authors who are rude certainly contribute big time to CB’s unsavory reputation in some circles.

Third take away … if I ever sell via ClickBank, provide absolutely top level customer service … that alone would differentiate my product from virtually any others out there.
