Jvzoo is better than clickbank ?

I've heard about clickbank but not about jvzoo, it works for you?
Yes but in a specific way...I look for product launches that are very pricey, offer close to 50% commission and are at least two weeks in advance...the further away it is, the better. I create a list of keywords around "NameofProduct+Review...NameofProduct+Bonuses..NameofProduct+Release...etc" Next, I create a bunch of Youtube videos, landing pages, and FB pages for every single keyword. Basic knowledge of SEO will have your little sites ranked quickly because you are the first to list it.

The goal here is to be one of the first to have sites that cover the product. If you can show proof of your skills to the product creator, you can often get a review copy of the product for free. If not, and you can affor to, buy an advanced copy so you can make a quality review of the product.

I then compile a set of quality bonuses and giveaway items related to the product. That is the secret sauce that will convert traffic for you. NO self respecting marketer should be without a vast library of PLR products just for purposes like these....and to make more compelling upsells in your funnels.

So here's the method behind the madness. If you have a high priced training course, say $1997 or higher...NO ONE will buy it without trying to do a little research on it. So when they Google the product, they will find your landing pages, your review sites, your Youtube videos on it. At 50% commission...if you only bring in 10 sales a day, that's $10,000 a day from ONE single product.

That's how I use JVZoo...I also use muncheye.com, which ONLY focuses on product launches.

Most purchases under $59 or so are impulse buys.

I only do *touchy-feeley* when the sale is over $5,000 (or the customer acquisition is). I like datafeeds and apis they have always made me money. Program them once and let it roll -- just maintenance once you find a winner. email can be automated too -- I have been part of doing it in the past.
 
So, I downloaded the ClickBank XML list of their vendors
It is useful but a limited resource
It looks like this when I do a little sorting ....

So it is more of use in selecting *offers* but you can narrow things down a bit
 
ClickBank is a very well established company selling digital products. So I don't agree that the products sold there are crappy. ClickBank actually did a lot of paid research over the years to determine what are the best selling niches. Success in affiliate marketing comes through trial and error coupled with the right training and guidance. It takes time and doesn't happen overnight
 
I am going to give you all some free advice that I normally charge for...

First of all, Clickbank is NOT crap. They are one of the oldest and most respected affiliate marketing networks.

However, the problem is not with Clickbank...the problem is with affiliate newbies who attempt to build a business solely around selling Clickbank and JVZoo products...especially if you are in the affiliate marketing niche, which is one of the most competitive niches out there.

You're being taught wrong.

I see a lot of you came from Affilorama and Wealthy Affiliate. Nothing wrong with those courses, but keep in mind that they are in the business of making money so by design, they are going to get as much money out of you as they can before you get taught how to make money. Wealthy Affiliate has literally hundreds of videos and it will be around the 100th video you watch and implement where you'll start seeing some income. That's about 8 months at around 30 bucks a month per person...and there are hundreds of thousands of Wealthy Affiliate students paying that money every month.

Back to Clickbank. You pick a product to sell, and they show you their "proof" of all the money they're making..which is true, they made the money selling that product.

Here's what they don't tell you...it wasn't the $27 product that made them the money...they're making the money from the email list they spent years building. These 'gurus' have all spent years building a list of loyal subscribers who will buy anything they put out because they know, like, and trust them. No one gives their money to strangers.

So if you want to make money in this niche, you must start out by building your list. That's why it takes so long to see any money...typically a good year.

Affiliate marketing networks should be used to SUPPLEMENT your income, it should not be your primary source of income.

So how do you make your money? While you're learning all this, you should also learn how to create your own products. Not hard to do in the grand scheme of things, but it is a lot of work and most people fail because they aren't willing to work to build a sustainable business...they're looking to make a quick buck. Do you really believe that you are going to make a six or seven figure income without working for it?

Here's a simple blueprint:

1. Develop your brand - You need to have a brand of some type - even if it is your name. Invest in your logo, color scheme, and your overall identity that you are going to use across all marketing platforms. Your brand includes your vision, your mission, and purpose for being online. That is actually what you are going to be selling, once people buy into you, they will buy anything you tell them to in order to help you succeed. Your brand should not be about selling shovels, it should be about teaching people to dig better holes.

1. Create your products - It takes time, energy, and money to build a business. So start investing in PLR (Private Label Rights) products. This should be an ongoing expense for your business, no different than buying cleaning supplies for a cleaning business. There are books, courses, video courses, and software out there for sale that you can use as your own. PLR products allow you to edit, change, rename, and re-brand however you want. The more money you spend, the better product you will get. NEVER buy a PLR product and try to sell it as-is. That's lazy and has already been done so don't even waste your time. Building an extensive catalog of PLR products gives you leverage. You can mix and match to create new products, supply your blog with content and all your social media platforms, as well as building your email campaigns.

Your product should also have a small, medium, and large version. This will allow you to upsell in your sales funnel.

2. Create your email campaign - This is where you are going to make the bulk of your money, but it is not going to happen overnight. You are not going to sell someone just by sending them an email. You need an entire campaign of AT LEAST 21 emails for every product you sell to build relationships with your subscribers. If you are not sure how to do this, subscribe to lists of the top affiliate marketers. Start analyzing their emails and you will soon see that while the words may be different, they are all using the same tactics and strategies that have been proven to convert readers. Don't reinvent the wheel...copy the same strategies and tactics they do, but with your unique spin.

3. Create free high quality products to give away - These should be the ONLY links you have on your site or blog. People can smell a spammy site a mile away and avoid it like the plague. These should be high quality reports, or ebooks between 30-50 pages long. They should also be related to the product you want to sell. So if you want to sell an course on SEO, you should have about 10 giveaway products related to that product preferably an excerpt from a section in your course....and for each giveaway product you have, you should have at least one article on your blog or social media platform that ONLY promotes that giveaway product. The same goes for your social media campaign...if you use Youtube, your videos should only be promoting the product you plan to give away. The goal is to get the email address. Once you have that, your campaign should be promoting the product you want them to buy.

4. Create a sales funnel - Learn how to create a proper sales funnel with the appropriate amount of upsells. Even your free giveaways should be a part of your sales funnel. When readers click on the download page for their 'free' stuff, there should be a link inviting them to purchase your product. Once again, if you are unsure, buy or pretend to buy from the leading affiliate marketers so you can see how one is properly set up.

5. Over deliver - This is the secret sauce. If you're selling a course on SEO, then you want to include a ton of bonuses...Include a bunch of ebooks or PLR courses that cost you nothing but will make your customers feel as if they are getting more than what they bargained for. That's how you develop loyal customers.

That's your blueprint...and your niche should be in an evergreen niche in one of these three categories - money, health, relationships. Going evergreen allows you to create literally millions of information products that will be relevant for years to come. How relevant will the tips and tricks for playing Pokemon Go be 50 years from now?

There's a lot of thankless work involved, but if you follow the script, not only will you be able to build that six or seven figure income, but once you have a list of loyal subscribers, THEN you can use Clickbank to supplement your subscribers just by sending them an email. Another benefit is that now you'll have the money to actually purchase the product you want to promote, then be able to promote it properly with an ACTUAL in depth review of the product, not the generic vague reviews that causes people's eyes to glaze over and run for the hills.
Hi, thanks for the information. It really helps me to understand the affiliate world better.
