What is ClickBank?
Q: I keep hearing about ClickBank. What is it?
A: ClickBank styles itself as a Digital Products Retailer. That's just a marketing-speak way of saying that they sell information products. They do a good job of it, too, and are widely recognized as the leader in their field.
So, if you're looking for products to market to your audience, they're an excellent place to start. Many of their products offer huge commissions - 75% of the sale price and up - and you'll find many tools to help you in your marketing efforts there. There are many Internet marketers who make a good living doing nothing but selling products that are offered through ClickBank. Like anything else, though, we don't recommend that you just jump into affiliate marketing through ClickBank (or any other service) blind; do your research first.
An excellent site to help with said research is CBTrends.com. They provide historical information about ClickBank's catalog of products, showing you what way a product is trending. This can be extremely useful to you in not just showing you what a product's current numbers are, but how it's trending. It's great that a product is selling well now, but if that product is on a downward slide, you might want to rethink promoting it. That's where CBTrends.com can help.
