Heaven For Small Business

Heaven For Small Business Starting a small business has to be one of the most courageous things a person can do.  There are a lot of unknowns that can strike fear into the heart of any small business owner.  Issues of labor, supply and demand and the market always are a concern.  And even if you do all of your market studies and prepare intensively, launching that business is sometimes an act of faith. The modern era has opened up a new frontier for small business owners and that is the internet.  But even there, risks exist and if anything the unknowns are even more exotic.   Because the online marketplace is vastly distributed, estimating the market need as well as the potential demand for a product can seem like a cryptic exercise.  In the early days of the internet, the costs of handling money and the resources to help small business succeed were few and far between and hard to use at best.   That is why by comparison the modern internet marketing world is a relative heaven fo

Ebook Publication is a Breeze on Clickbank

Ebook Publication is a Breeze on Clickbank A lot has changed in the world because of the internet and nowhere is that more noticeable than the publishing industry.  At one time the big publishing houses ruled the land like wizards from stone castles and any fledgling author who wanted to have a prayer to get a book published had to scale those walls.  That meant a lot of talented writers and some excellent books never saw the light of day because the executives in those companies did not see a profit margin in it for them.  Just as in the music industry where music distributing has been completely overhauled by the internet, publishing has gone through a similar revolution.  It’s a people's revolution too because no longer is it the large publishing houses that tell the public what they can or cannot read.  Now good authors can get their works out there simply by producing an ebook.  And merchandising services like Clickbank have completed the cycle by making merchandising, ma

Clickbank Refunds and What You Can Do About It

Clickbank Refunds and What You Can Do About It The internet is not the only place that refunds is an issue to a retailer.  From the perspective of the internet merchant, customer satisfaction is of the highest priority.  Because competition for customer loyalty is fierce, you know that keeping repeat customers coming back is the fastest and best way to long term financial success in sales.  So offering an iron clan refund guarantee if the customer is not satisfied sends a message to the consumer that their happiness is top priority to you and that they can shop with you in confidence. As customers, we like to know that there is a return or refund policy in place.  We come to expect that when we get home with a product that it will be to our satisfaction of the store will stand behind the product and give us a refund no questions asked.  Sadly even outside the internet, refund fraud happens all the time.  People bring back stolen merchandise for refund to exchange what they took fo

Clickbank is About More than Just the Stuff

Clickbank is About More than Just the Stuff Most of us think of Clickbank as a service dedicated entirely to digital products. A digital product by definition is a something you sell.  It might be an e-book about anything from children's stories to an analysis of clinical depression to a guidebook to how to play a great game of golf.  It might be a software package that makes life easier or a really cool game you invented.  But by definition, it is "something".  Which means that in that context, Clickbank is all about the stuff. One of ClickBank's rules of living for merchants lines up with the product only approach to the marketplace because you are expected to deliver the product within 24 hours of payment and preferably immediately by download.  The method of delivery might vary.  It can be by download, by email or by directing the customer to a membership site to download the product.  Clickbank doesn’t get into the details as long as the customer gets his pr

Alternatives to Clickbank

Alternatives to Clickbank In a lot of areas of technology, there is a dominant player.  We know about how Microsoft pretty much dominates every aspect of PC technology.  There are smaller companies that dominate application areas to like Adobe for PDF file or Photoshop for photo editing.  And when it comes to the internet and online marketplaces, the dominant power there is no doubt Clickbank.    But it's good to know what alternatives are out there for comparison purposes.  And possibly the biggest real threat to the dominance of Clickbank is a site called PayDotCom.  Each of these fine alternatives has things to offer and some drawbacks too.  But it is worth knowing what to look for so you can make an intelligent decision.  There is just no question that Clickbank dominates the field for good reasons.    Clickbank is far and away the largest affiliate marketplace in the world.  So by putting your product on Clickbank, you could potentially see it picked up for over 150,000 a

A Little Bragging Goes a Long Way

A Little Bragging Goes a Long Way Its one thing to have a great product and it's quite another to make sure customers know about it.  And that principle is even more vitally true when you list your product on the Clickbank marketplace.  There are literally tens of thousands of products available for affiliates to pick up and sell within Clickbank.   And even though there are over 150,000 affiliates, that is a huge marketing environment. The literature about Clickbank would give you the impression that all you have to do is set up your account on Clickbank and get your digital product out there into the Clickbank market and, presto, you will see massive sales by the weekend.  But if it was that easy, there would be millions of people on Clickbank.  The laws of economics still prevail and this is a marketplace so even after you get your product out there, there are some basic things you must be prepared to do. For one thing, to make it in any marketplace and Clickbank is no e
