I ve seen alot of people fail or simply give up during their first few months of affiliate marketing!! Why is this so? Is it because they dont Understand Process? Did anyone ever tell them about eventually creating their own products and have affiliates do the work for them instead? Or were they just not Told Everything or explained to properly from the get go! Just curious. People......, whats ur outlook on this please!

i think you need a website here + a huge traffic .

website + traffic = money

If you looking to make money online I don't care what you selling you have to solve a problem. If you know solving a problem then you will have a hard time making money online. It's really is that simple. You want to make money from clickbank? Find a product that solve a problem and find the people who have the problem and you have to build a relationship with the people so that they trust you and you then can began to make money!

I do believe that many 'newbies' to affiliate marketing are deceived into thinking that fast-cash or fast-wealth can easily be obtained because of the amount of claims...whether outright faked, or just highly spruced up....on MOST of the sales-pages for most of the products found w/in the CB marketplace!

Once they spend their money, go over the course material(s) and then get hit w/the sudden realization that making $128,345 dollars with just a few clicks of the mouse is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN..they get discouraged, start thinking that ALL PRODUCTS like the one they bought are the same and then ultimately give up on every achieving their dream(s) of financial success!

Of course, this is just my opinion and like a car's mileage, yours will vary greatly! :D

I have never been able to make more than a few peanuts with CB. I even joined CBproads where they do advertising, not one single sale there.

To make money with Clickbank you need carefully choose the products.
Before promoting a product try to answer the question if you would buy the product you promote.
I also found out that if you promote products in bulk as it is with cbproads the convertions are very little.
Perhaps people don`t want to spend much time on product selection. So it is in your interest to provide the best product in the niche

I know some people that do well with CB with Facebook advertising. But, like others have said, they target the right people with the right products. They also know how to keep there clicks low priced. I have recently gotten a few WSO's on this subject, just haven't gone over them yet and tested.

First of all I just want to make flag up something here. Making money online is not easy. Yes you heard that right. It is not. Most people out there looking for a way to get rich quick or fast money easily (I was one of them), well that ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

Making money online is a career. And like any other career, you must work for it to get the best out of it. There's no such thing as becoming successful overnight. It requires hard work and persevere.

But the beauty of making money online is that once you know how, then it is going to be much easier later on. The starting point is always the hardest =)

Most of the thousands of clickbank products, I personally would not buy ever. You have to put yourself in the shoes of a potential buyer. It's not just sell green.

I was one of them too!! Great post here. If you have to go to a JOB you have to WORK. If you want to make money online you have to WORK for it. My school teacher (long time ago) used to say "there are no free lunchesGotta believe thats true these days!!
Great Post Haz!!

well I am also working on a click bank product and its going great a lot of sales I think the key is to get a lot of affiliates thats the key. The product is selling like hot cakes. The product is EasyTvMoney.

well people need to know that you need to be very patient while using such programs, you can never get results in a single night it would take along time, patience coupled with consistency, is the key to success.

I think the first and paramount importance that thorough research on the niche market you should join, that market still exists or has died? then research keywords market are using to find products that meet market need. This will impact very positive later conversion rate

They are many ways to do affiliate marketing, Like SEO, video marketing, article marketing and so on. The success depends on how many visitors will come to your site. They must be targeted visitors. You can be success in affiliate marketing but it takes some time.

You need a good website promoting your affiliate product from clickbank. Then some good SEO. Throw in some social media and you can get a few sales if the product is hot.

What exactly is what happens, that people get discouraged by what seemingly was so easy, suddenly isn't that easy.

And yes, I think that most haven't been told the ENTIRE process, and the fact that making online is a VAST area to make money, where the
competition is sometimes is going to be extremely high which means the chances of making money with the particular product will be closer to ZERO.

I don't think it has do with not knowing that they can have others do the work for them, but I do think it has to do with not earning any money and maybe
others are saying, that they can't make money online - it's all just scams! Which is exactly how they feel. What think many don't realize is what they actually are doing is creating a business online. And even those who do, might be doing it because they can't find any work and thus do it out of desperation because they desperately need the money.

There are those who do want make money online, but can't really decide how much they're gonna "invest" in it, because they're still sceptical about if they actually can make any money. You know this state usually holds true, with a few exceptions. It cost money to make money! - And like I said, this will for most of the time this hold true but there are a some exceptions where people make money online without spending anything. Those who've made money this way have probably done with the help of an already huge existing/established social network - for instance a forum!

But I also think why most fail is due to a few other factors but mainly:
1/ They don't really know how to promote it, and they do classic trial and error! - Where most fail! So the lack of knowledge with online marketing!
2/ They don't commit entirely to the work that affiliate marketing requires!
3/ Their site is not ranking high enough = No sales!

That was a few of them but the list I think probably is bigger than we realize!

For those where its the third reason then read this post :Click here to goto my post about the third reason!

I would like to point out that I have quite extensive knowledge when I comes to marketing in general, both offline and online! So if you need help with
something in regards to marketing please feel free to ask me!

I think there are a huge number of reasons why people fail or give up. Here are some of the top issues (at least in my opinion).

-It's not easy. So many people think that making money online should be easy. Probably has to do with those large ads. I work 1 hour a week and make 20,000 dollars a month!

-It's not fast. Many people put in the initial work and get disappointed when they don't see the results that they want. It's really easy to feel down about all of the things you want to see happen when they don't happen.

-It's overwhelming. You have a lot of different ways to make money, a lot of strange terms, a lot of opinions, a lot of different methods, and a lot of information that easily overwhelms.

-It's easy to feel like you're not ready. The final thing I think is an issue is that there is so much to learn that one can get stuck in the path of learning for a long time and not acting on what they are learning. This can make it easy to make plans and say, "Some day I will..."

In the end, making money online (no matter what method you choose) takes work and time. It isn't easy and it isn't a free ride. That being said, It can be done!

Yes, they were NOT told properly about affiliate marketing or they have been told more than what is required In both these cases, users will be afraid to try it. Affiliate marketing is one of the niche that has lot of competition all over the net and believe me, it's one of the toughest way to earn anything. It's NOT to discourage anybody, but i'm saying it from personal experience.
