Top 8 Best Clickbank Products to Promote

Best Clickbank ProductsHere is a list of the top 8 best Clickbank products based on gravity, sale amount, refunds and just our general experience with conversion rates.


1. Wealthy Affiliate University Membership

Actually this one isn’t in Clickbank but I had to put it in because I know for a fact that it converts extremely well. We are averaging one sale for every 40 people we send to the Wealthy Affiliate website.  Some of you may say that you can get better than that BUT the big advantage of Wealthy Affiliate (WA) is that as long as the person remains a member we continue to get a recurring monthly commission. And so far, 75% of the people we have referred have remained members.  

For each sign up you either receive $20 per month if they are paying monthly or $175 if they pay for a year.

The drawback is that you have to be a member of Wealthy Affiliate in order to become an affiliate but it worked out well for us because within the first month of joining WA we referred two people so the commission we receive from referring them covers our monthly fee. Of course we have referred quite a few more since then but it is nice to know that our monthly membership is now paid for.

WA includes extensive stats so you can see where your sales are coming from. They also provide keyword lists that you can use in your promotion and tutorials on using Google Adwords, article marketing, Squidoo and other bum marketing techniques.

Definitely recommended.

Legit Online Jobs is a great product to promote because it encompasses so many different ways of making money online including data entry, bum marketing techniques, paid surveys, ebay marketing and much more. This means that you can find thousands of keywords to use to promote it.

We purchased Beating Adwords as we were in desperate need of help after experiencing the Google Adwords slap when our cost per click leaped to $10 and more for some keywords. This ebook solved that problem for us and helped to increase our page quality score and reduce our bid prices dramatically.

Beating Adwords has a very low refund rate and pays a nice commission at just over $30. It is well written and covers everything anyone will need to improve their Google Adwords campaigns as well as going into detail about writing ads and creating landing pages.

5. Official Secret Restaurant Recipes

This is a great seller and converts really well. This is another ebook with a very low refund rate so you can be assured that buyers are happy with the product.

The landing page is well presented and you can’t help but want to buy this after seeing how many secret recipes you get. The price of the ebok at $29.97 is reasonable so sales are more likely. You get just over $20 per sale so it is well worth promoting. We’ve done well with this one.

How to sell anything to anyone

People are always asking me what our business model is for Brazen Careerist. Now that we have a network of 150 great bloggers, we are focusing on companies. A lot of companies come to us asking for access to the bloggers. Not surprisingly, companies want to recruit from the bloggers and their friends. But we think what the bloggers want is good conversation.

We think that offering someone a job without conversation is like walking up to a stranger in a bar and asking for sex. It doesn't work. You need to establish some sort of rapport first. People want that from a job offer as well. People today want to work for a company that they feel some sort of connection to—a connection probably from branding and conversation.

So we want to help companies establish their brand as an employer, and create a conversation with people they'd like to hire, now or in the future. That's our next step. And we have to sell the companies on this idea.

So we had one of my mentors, who is also an outstanding salesperson—Kathleen Kurke—give us a little coaching session on how to sell.

All of us at Brazen Careerist were in the training (there are eight employees now). And all of us were struck by how Kathleen's advice applies to so much of life, not only to trying to get companies to engage the Brazen Careerist community. Here's what Kathleen said:

1. Ask a good question.
You probably want a yes or no answer: "Are you gonna buy my product, yes or no?" But yes or no is short-term and opportunity limiting, because anything but a definite yes will be a showstopper. So ask instead a question like: What are the challenges you are facing?

This sort of open-ended question helps you to understand the challenges, solutions, or opportunities you are trying to capture. And the more you can align yourself with your client and their concerns, the more likely you will be to capture their business.

The better you get at asking these questions, the better answers you'll get; and the best answers get you closer to the person who is accountable for solving the problem. And that's the person who will be most likely to give you that yes answer that you are looking for.

2. Solve a problem.
People will buy stuff from you because you are solving a problem or capitalizing on an opportunity. In other words, people only buy stuff if it helps them make money or save money.

If you cannot trace your solution to either making money or saving money, then you have a problem.

­A lot of people say that this rule does not apply to their job. But they are wrong. If you look up their chain of command, someone—somewhere—is evaluating them by whether they make money or save money, and they ignore this at their peril.

3. Practice a new behavior.
It's hard to ask open-ended questions because they don't feel natural to most of us. They feel dishonest because what you really want to know is, are you buying my product yes or no? But open-ended questions can feel more honest and true to you if you practice.

Pick three questions you want to feel comfortable asking—questions that are open ended and encourage people to talk about the problem area where you have solutions. The more you practice these questions, the more you own them.

If you try these selling questions on a friend, they'll think you're nuts. It's easier if you choose someone you haven't spoken to before. They haven't heard you, so they will assume the questions are normal for you.

What is an open-ended question that we're practicing? "When it comes to recruiting and retaining young talent, what are the greatest challenges your company is facing?"

As you might imagine, this question doesn't come naturally to me because I am so accustomed to the traditional one-way conversation in mainstream media, where I am expected to tell people the answer instead of asking any questions. But Kathleen is encouraging. She says that when it comes to learning to ask open-ended questions, "This is a great instance where if you can fake it you can make it."

Ways to increase IQ


Improving IQ

How to improve the IQ
Before addressing how to improve IQ, it is important to understand what it is. The term IQ stands for intelligence quotient. The intelligence quotient is the mathematical formula of the ratio of mental age to chronological age x 100. ( MA/CA x 100) When your mental age and chronological age are the same, the number would be 1. When that number is multiplied by 100, the average IQ is 100.The most frequently occurring IQ is 100. Decreasing numbers of people are located with either higher or lower IQ scores. The members of Mensa are those with IQ scores above 98% of the population (i.e. the top 2% of scores).

IQ measurements

IQ is often measure on a bell curve, with 100 being the average score in the middle and having the largest population. The number of people with lower and higher IQ scores decreases the further away from the middle they occur.
With this definition of IQ, the way to improve the IQ is to engage in activities that will increase ones’ mental age. Reading and practicing activities that improve one’s mental abilities will increase ones mental age. This can be as simple as solving puzzles, reading stimulating books, learning a new language or learning how to perform a new task.
Although the basic definition consists of the intelligence quotient, there has been a great deal of baggage added to the idea of IQ. The common concept of intelligence is often seen as ones conceptual learning, abstract reasoning and problem solving. Since these are tasks that are important to educators, and academic development, educators have used IQ tests that measure such abilities.

Common Myths about IQ

Common myths about IQ:
  1. IQ measures intelligence. IQ is a mathematical ratio. The way people often use the term “IQ” is confused with innate intelligence. The confusion of IQ with innate intelligence has created many misunderstandings. Innate intelligence refers to one’s innate intelligence skills and abilities
  2. IQ’s never change. Since it is a ratio, the number often changes depending on what a person learns.
  3. IQ tests can be totally believed. The IQ tests only provide an estimate of a person’s academic skill abilities. The IQ test scores are often related to academic abilities rather than a person’s intellect. The scores obtained from IQ test vary from test to test. A score on one test is not the equivalent of the same score on another test. Some of the main ones are the Stanford-Binet and the Wechsler.
  4. IQ gives us a measure of a person’s competence. Competence and intelligence are two totally different ideas. Assuming competence or the ability to do a job is related to intelligence is a common mistake. Many political pundits often bring up IQ in association with competence, which only muddies things up.
Much of the early work on IQ was done by Francis Galton, a cousin of Charles Darwin. He believed that much of intelligence or 'natural ability' was inherited. His studies were foundational for the field of eugenics. He believed that better intelligence could be developed through better breeding. His ideas were developed further by Lewis Terman, who applied them to intelligence tests. 
There is often confusion between the terms "intelligence" and IQ. Although people use the terms interchangeably, the meanings of what they are referring to changes. When the term IQ is used in association with IQ test scores, there are activities that can be done to improve such scores.
Since IQ tests often place great emphasis on academic skills, the scores can be improved with training in those areas. Reading and learning ways to improve problem solving, abstract reasoning and conceptual learning will help improve such scores. Studying and practicing mathematical problem solving is one task that can help. Another is to read literature and then analyze the work in terms of the concepts presented. You can train yourself to even look at everyday problems on both the practical level and the abstract level, taking the solutions and making other applications of what you have learned. Since IQ test often have a strong cultural component, the more you understand about the culture the greater the likelihood you will improve your score. IQ tests often have items that also measure response time, so learning how to perform problem solving tasks faster will also help to improve one’s IQ test score.
There have been many controversies concerning IQ and what it actually means. The researcher Charles Murray published a book entitled, "The Bell Curve", which examined the phenomena. His research ignited many discussions concerning IQ regarding what it means and what the significance of it is. He found that IQ scores vary from group to group, which has tremendous ramifications.
If there wasn't enough controversy concerning IQ, the concept "Emotional IQ" is now in circulation. Rather than deal with intellectual ability or skill, it focuses on emotional and relational abilities and skills. The Emotional IQ promoters even have emotional IQ tests that they use in determining the measure.

Improving the other iQ (Toyota iQ)

On the humorous side, Toyota has recently released news about an upcoming car known as the iQ. It will be a super-compact designed to carry three adults, a child and some luggage. The car is seen as a competitor for the Smart. It is not by chance that the iQ and the Smart use terms that appeal to the intellect.
The iQ is designed to be fuel efficient and contains many innovations in automotive technology. The fuel tank is mounted under the seat, there are LCD screen navigation system in the car as well. In terms of improving the car, it depends on whether you are improving it in a cosmetic or performance basis. Custom paint jobs and decals are popular ways of improving the cosmetic aspects of cars. In terms of improving the performance, steps such as improving the exhaust, increasing fuel intake and turbo-charging the engine would be basic ways to improve the iQ.
