There’s several ways you can start making money with ClickBank:

How to select the best offers in Clickbank?

Clickbank provides publishers with a lot of information to help find and choose the right product and in their product list you will find metrics such as:

  • Average %/sale: the percentage of the product price that publishers receive as a sales commission.
  • Initial $/sale: the average revenue you can make per sale
  • Average rebill total: the average amount you will make as a commission as a result of rebills (i.e. resale of the product, monthly recurring subscriptions, etc)
  • Average %/rebill: the percentage of rebills paid on average.

 

You should also consider as an important metric the Gravity score. Gravity is given to determine the number of publishers that have sold that product within the past 12 weeks. This could be a great indicator of how well a product sells and how high the market demand for that product is. However, don’t only base your decision solely on Gravity, for example, a new product may not have a high Gravity score, but could be the new hottest product to sell.
