The Art of ClickBank - The ClickBank Experiment Continues
February 14th, 2007 | by Scott Weaver |
This is a continuation of part III of the ClickBank Experiment.
Good things are happening in the world of ClickBank!
First off, if you’ll take the time to click on my ClickBank earnings as of 2/14/2007 @ 10:00pm (thumbnail to the left), you will notice I had my biggest sales day yesterday at $148.34! Woohoo! Not only did I break $100 for a couple days in a row there, I also technically broke $150 because I also had a nice $5.00 with AdSense (totaling $153.34). So double woot to that!
You’ll notice a few zero days (days where I made $0 on ClickBank) and these are days when either A.) the market was fluctuating (out of my control) or B.) I was messing with my bid prices on keywords. So don’t lose hope if you’re just starting out with ClickBank. There is steady money to be made in this, despite actual low days (like today - a market fluctuation).
Now as I’ve been talking about my ‘Experiment’ a lot on DigitalPoint forums in the ClickBank area (I’ll talk about that in a minute), I’ve been asked a lot of excellent questions. One question everyone probably wants to know when you have a good day like $153 is - how much did you spend to make that much? My advertising budget came out to about $73, which might depress you until you think- that’s a profit of $80 for something that runs essentially on auto pilot while you’re gone.
Also, that advertising budget is covering all of my advertising expenses as I am also testing additional campaigns that might turn out to be profitable. When they aren’t profitable, and they aren’t most of the time, then they eat up the profit! But, in the end, it’s more than worth it because you’ll have paid to find 100 working products out of 1,000 that generate you income on a daily basis.
This is also known as passive income, and it’s a beautiful thing. I can be at school or another job and be making the same or more money while I’m away. Oh yeah, and what happens when I’m on vacation? Money keeps rolling in. What happens when I’m in the hospital? The checks keep coming. As long as someone is there to deposit your checks into the bank, your income is going to be generated like interest in a bank account — 24×7.
Anyway, there has been much buzz about my experiment on DigitalPoint. Just check out this thread I started when I was trying to make my first sale with ClickBank. The thread doesn’t only contain my testimony, but also the advice from some experts in the field. You’ll notice that a nice chap that goes by Telmari contributes a lot on there. If you’re starting out on ClickBank, or even if you want some new pointers, I definitely recommend checking this thread out.
As I’ve reached one of my main goals (breaking $100), as well as a sub goal to that end (breaking $150), my next goal is obviously to break $200 in a day. So when that happens, you should be expecting another post.
Let’s hope it doesn’t take too long.
That’s it for now. Thanks!

Hey Scott! Lookin’ good with those totals up there
Thanks for the post mention!
Noticed you said you were spending 73$ for ads - is that proportional to your gains? Aka, on the days you make less than 73$, do you also spend less on ads? Just curious
Congrats on that 150$ mark! Keep pressin’ on towards that 200$

Matt- Thanks man! I appreciate that.
Telmari- Yeah. On the days I make less, I spend less because people search on the terms less. This is good, cause I wouldn’t want to spend $70 and make $0.

Franck- You’re too kind. Until my profit margin is over 50% though, I’m not doing TOO well.
I’m working on it though.
Clint- Yeah, I agree! Thanks! Glad to have you. I hope I can be of service to more people.

Wow I’m a noob. I forgot I already posted a comment yesterday. Didnt pop up though. Probably should of refreshed huh? Sorry whenever I get on the computer it’s usually after I get home from work then I do crazy stuff like that due to lack of sleep.
