    A problem with clickbank is a lot of people ask for refunds and get them after they have read a product.

    See my above point about hxxp://www.super-cheap-sony-psp-playstaion-make-money-online.com type sites. The only readable products you sell should be physical books. Ebooks and such are 1) open to refund abuse 2) 99.999% of the time contain information free elsewhere or are simple all out scams. Dont be associated with such things.

    You market best what you enjoy. So try going for a niche that isnt saturated.

    One big tip i can give is - Watch the shopping channels on sky.

    Affiliates 4 u forums are really good

    got some good examples of how people have made plenty of money from this as well

    * link would be here but i'm not allowed to post them as i'm new - just put 'affiliates4u forums in google' *

    word of warning though

    it takes a lot (more than a full time job in my opinion) to build, manage and market a website well enough and for long enough to generate decent amounts of income - not something i would recommend doing unless you are either 1) extremely passionate about your topic / niche or 2) an experienced web designer / developer

    Content is King!
    I enjoy spending more than saving! :confused:

    They give you the latest product, which is ideas for what you want to market. Basically the "in thing".

    Absolutely true. I actually produced a piece of software for affiliate marketers and sold it through clickbank & had exactly this problem - people paid for it, downloaded it, installed it, used it, and then claimed their money back.

    And clickbank doesn't ask questions it just refunds them.

    I seem to have found 1 good product nowthat hasn't had any returns (just watch them start now!), it might help that it has a membership so people get beyond the 60/90 days before they decide they don't want to continue.

    It's also about £100 per sale to me :)
