So you want to learn how to make money with Clickbank? Well, you have two choices, you can either be an affiliate or vendor. Here are the pros and cons of each…
Being a Clickbank Affiliate
Pros – Affiliate marketing can be very rewarding if you can get a profitable campaign up and running. Once you hit a positive ROI (return on investment), you can in most cases scale your campaign to rake in more profits. This means if you are spending $20 and making $30, you could simply increase your spend to $200 to make $300.
Cons – Being an Affiliate can be very frustrating. Not only do you have to endlessly test new campaigns and adverts, but even if you get a profitable campaign going, it could tank at any given time. If you’re buying traffic, your advertising network may increase your bid price, an offer might go down, you may lose your search engine ranking, or your campaign simply might not convert as well over time. There are many things that can go wrong, and contrary to what most of the gurus tell you, being an affiliate is definitely no easy thing.
Being a Clickbank Vendor
Pros – Clickbank vendors are the guys who are making the real money on a massive scale. These guys have affiliates promoting THEIR products, and for this reason, they don’t have to do any of the grunt work like setting up campaigns and constantly monitoring them to maintain profits. Once they have their products up and running, vendors usually give away a large chunk of the sale price to affiliates, however, due to the large volume of sales that succesful vendors make, it makes it worth it. Vendors also enjoy the ability to outsource most of their work, so they have more time to create and manage new products. The real vendors that make a killing online are the ones that have multiple products, and an army of affiliates to keep the sales coming in.
Cons – Being a vendor requires a real business mindset. You need to be able to create a product or pay someone to create a product for you. You need to understand and know how to find the right market which has a certain need that can be addressed with a digital product which you can deliver. Also, you need affiliates to promote your product, and getting affiliates onboard isn’t always an easy task.
