For Clickbank Newbies: Be Cautious of Overly Large Affiliate Signup Links
You’ve just registered with ClickBank, and you’re are looking for their inventory of digital products to promote But do you know exactly what you should be looking for?
When you visit most vendor sales pages, they contain a link to an affiliate page. You decide you like the product’s sales potential and sign on as an affiliate, which is the object of the game. But what if a customer were to do that, too?
Here’s the scenario: Someone visits your affiliate page, reads the sales copy, and decides he wants to buy the product but thinks the price is a little too expensive. He sees the outsized “affiliates sign up” link, clicks on it, becomes his own affiliate and technically buys the product from himself. Instant discount – and bad news for both you and the seller, right?
Well, you’re half right. A less than upright seller will intentionally overprice of the product and obviously display affiliate signup links to get exactly that result. The vendor is not really losing money, but you, as the “actual” affiliate, definitely are! But how can you put a stop to this? Mainly by being on the lookout against sales pages that includes high prices, less than fifty percent in commissions, and very badly written copy.
Also, take advantage of ClickBank’s Marketplace and Resources sites. Teach yourself how they determine a product’s popularity – a new product could turn out to be just as profitable as a well-established one. Affiliate support should include ads you can download and display, and a mailing list for direct interaction with the vendor. And definitely keep away from vendors whose pages offer alternative payment options in addition to Clickbank!
And now for the most important tip of all.
