I wonder if how are yu doing with both of these programs.. I am making some hundreds per month with CB and planning to do the Amazon as well.. any suggestion or feedback is highly appreciated..
Clickbank vs Amazon?
- Thread starter Webtoolkeeper
- Start date
AM with Amazon is amazingly easy to do, they walk you through EVERYTHING. I just helped my fiancee set up a blog for herself, and taught her where to look for amazon links.. and they showed her the rest.
There is one HUGE downside to Amazon, and that is on the return days. If they do not buy on that session, you do not get a commission. The cookie is a session cookie, so your pre-sell has to be rock solid.. then you gotta hope Amazon finishes the sale... unlike other programs where you might still easily get credit if they return later.
One big upside, though, is that you can get payouts with as little as $10 in the account. You can only get the small amounts in gift cards to amazon though, but you can find something you would buy from there to spend it

Certain products have a longer buy cycle. Typically people tend to shop and compare more on higher priced products and technology products. So if you are promoting computers for instance you could lose a lot due to the session cookie. So you may want to give thought to the types of products that have a shorter sales cycle.
A possible upsite though, I would think Amazon's conversions are pretty good due to the customer reviews and their reputation.
Im still a youngblood, but the traffic I do send at Amazon converts at roughly 3%... but again... the sales are worth probably as much as an Adsense click on that site (actually less per on this item.)
They are great to learn with though, and to populate a new blog for a beginner. They make it really easy.

I really like using Clickbank and I use the tools they provide to research which products are selling well.

After several months of focusing on clickbank after I created this thread, I can now tell that clickbank is far better than amazon in terms of earning potential..
Amazon is a better name, but I think clickbank provides a lot better results. I have seen people who devoted a lot of time to CB and made piles of cash.
One benefit of Amazon, if you are a programmer they have a great API. It's very easy to make custom stuff that uses their data, with your affiliate codes attached.

As far as books they are low cost and should have a short buy cycle.

After doing both programs in 3 months, I can conclude now that CB is 5 times better than Amazon when it comes to income..
To be honest, I've tried Amazon to little effect and Clickbank I was never a big fan of as the products are being promoted by many different niches.
In the last couple of months I've had a regular $40-60/week but sometimes more. I didn't promote the products, just integrated them within my websites and it's finally starting to pay off.

I recommend amazon because of all the options and products. Plus they give you a personal site.
Amazon gives you a personal site?
no not personall, but you can have a custom page with your products on it
