In this installment of Clickbank, we’re going to work our way over to the Clickbank marketplace and get you familiar with using it. If you are an affiliate, you’re going to be spending a lot of your time here looking for products to sell.

The Clickbank marketplace can be found at this URL:

http://www.clickbank.com/marketplace.htm

Once you get there, you’ll notice that there’s a box that says Search The Clickbank Marketplace. The best way to walk you through this maze is to do just that.

Go down to where is says Category and change it from All Categories to Marketing and Ads. Then click on the button that says Go.

You will notice that a number of items will come up. Now, because this marketplace changes so often, there’s no way that I can pull up a specific item to go over, but it doesn’t matter. What I want to show you here applies to every single item in the marketplace. By pointing these things out, you’ll get a pretty decent idea of the kinds of products you want to promote from the marketplace.

The products themselves are listed from best selling down. Each of these products has statistics that correspond to the item itself. I’m going to go over each statistic and explain what it means.

$/Sale – This tells us how much money is earned, on average for each sale made. If the product sells for $100 and the vendor offers 50%, then the $/sale should be around $50. If you see that it is significantly less, like around $35, that means this product has had a lot of refunds and you might want to stay away from it.

%/Sale – This is self explanatory. This is the commission percentage that is offered for each sale. As an affiliate, you want to look for products that offer the highest commission percentage and no less than 50%.
% Referred – This is the percentage of sales that are made by affiliates. If you find that this is a very high figure, say around 89%, this means that most of the sales for this item come from affiliates. This could mean a lot of competition in promotion of this product, which would make it difficult to sell. That assumption will be backed up by the next statistic.

Gravity – This is probably one of the most important stats at the Clickbank marketplace aside from %/sale if you’re looking for big commissions. Gravity is a weighted number of how many affiliates are promoting this product and earning money doing so. Right now, the top product at Clickbank has a gravity of over 700. That means over 700 affiliates are promoting it and making money with it. That is how many people you will be up against if you choose to promote this product. This is why I personally choose products with a lower gravity as to not have so much competition.

In our next installment, we’re going to go over some strategies for selecting products at the Clickbank marketplace in order to make it as easy as possible for you to get sales with that product.

See you then.
