2. Clickbank Marketplace
So if you head over to the Clickbank marketplace,
Type in organic food in the search box and this will show:
I put in a gravity of 10 in the filters section, this means that there is 10+ affiliates making money with the product monthly. The reason I do that is because I want other affiliates to make money with the product that I pick. If other affiliates promote it and make money with it, then that means the product/sales page convert.
Looking at the high number of gravity, you don`t want the number to be too high. Too high of a number means a lot of competition and it might not be the best niche/product to start out with.
The second listing looks interesting:
What does all these stats/numbers mean.
$ / sale: $24.99 - this means you will make this amount / sale.% / sale 75% - you will make 75% of the sales price for this product.
Rebill - if they have recurring billing.
Grav: 20.88 - this means that there is 20.88 affiliates making sales monthly.
Promote - If I click "promote" it will bring up a new window were you put in your account nickname and tracking id. You then click create and it will create an affiliate link for you.
I would wait and do this until I have decided that this is the product I want to promote.
Now if the basic info looks interesting.... then I will head over to the website and check it out. You would just click the header Food4Wealth.
Just thought I would add that the reason CB comms are so high is because the products are Digital.Once purchased the products are delivered by means of downloads and therefore don't require any logistics, ie - there are no delivery costs, storage costs, advertising costs etc.
Generally Physical products (like Amazon) have lower comms because of their associated costs such as all the logistics involved etc.
Personally I purchse the Click Bank product to determine if the product is any good and secondly I can find useful info about the product to promote.It also gives me as the reviewer a bit of credibility.
ClickBank offer a refund of 60 Days which is handy if the product is no good - BUT this element has a downfall as once a product is downloaded the ownership falls in the hands of the purchaser.If your customer requests a refund from Clickbank within the 60 days , they will obtain the refund but will always have the product.You as the affiliate will now lose the comms. The point I'm trying to make here, is don't emphasize the 60 Day return policy as you will get people that will try and game the system for a Freebie. On the other hand don't purchase the product for the sake of reviewing it and then request a refund as Click Bank will ban you if you do this a couple of times.Also be sure not to purchase a Clickbank product through your own Affiliate Id,with the intent to get the comms back to your account - this can also get you banned.

Thanks for the extra info on this subject, excellent.
I absolutly agree about purchasing the book or even get it for free other than "make money ninche" vendors are pretty good about giving out their ebook to affiliates.
As far as the refund, you can check the initial earnings by sale at cbengine it is impacted by refunds and chargebacks, this will give you a good idea if there is a lot of refunds.
I have not been promoting any "make money" products from Clickbank but I can see that the refund might be a problem here. I have not seen many refunds with the products that I have promoted.
Thanks Colin great points,
Veronica
I know clickbank has a bad reputation for selling rubbish but you do find some nice gems in there too. Your tip about searching for lower gravity usually filters out a lot of the scammy products too. They always seem to have extremely high gravity!
