I am launching an eBook with Clickbank geared towards investing. What is a realistic goal for the first month revenue?

As far as my strategy: I am planning on spending $50/day promoting the product then gradually scaling up to $100/day.

Traffic sources will likely be Search and Facebook ads.

The product itself will cost $97 and I have an upsell for an additional $97.

What do you think a realistic target is? My goal was to hit 5K revenue in the first month.
 


I like to set my goals pretty high, but $5K is too much? Keep in mind I am talking about Revenue.

Was planning on throwing 2-3k in adspend within the first month.

Your first goal is to learn how NOT to lose money. What makes you think your product would sell?

Have you tested the conversion yet? I assume you haven't because if you did, then there's no need for you to ask such question.

Nope - it's not up yet.... waiting on a friend to finish the video.

Definitely going to split test 2 LP's once I launch it and start off spending $50/day.
 
Yeah dude take it from me. I launched a product all gun ho and thought I would bring in all this revenue. Ended up out $30,000. My advice is to start small then build your way up. You should start your goal to make one sale while investing the least amount of money. Then when you figure out that people will actually buy the product split test and see what you can do to increase conversions. I don't care if these gurus say they are making $1,000,000 per month...if they are spending $1,000,001 they are broke as gurus. It isn't what you make it is what you spend.
 
Yeah that is definitely a good call. I am planning on starting small and then scaling up down the road. I plan on spending $50 a day just testing out different things and then scaling up from there. It is definitely going to involve a lot of split testing both landing pages and traffic.

As far as the product itself, it's an eBook about the stock market. I am planning on launching the product through Clickbank rather than messing around with paypal.
 
Holy newbie alert. This is like a blast from the past when I first got into IM and the only business model I knew was to throw shit up on CB.

That being said, don't invest too much money in this shit--the people who are actually killing it on CB have spent a lot of time putting together huge launches (most of the time) that attract a lot of attention and get a lot of affiliates on board to promote their shit.

That being said, if you're just a normal dude throwing some shit up on CB--you won't get a huge response unless you've got a truly unique product that has obvious earning potential.

tl;dr: don't invest too much, there's a big fucking learning curve--at least in my experience.

Do you have any idea how competitive the niche is and how much people are paying per click on search? I don't think you can even survive on the Content Network unless you are advertising outside of the US/UK/AU/CA market. Spend $100/day and make $5000/month in revenue in the first month, yeah right very realistic... Lulz.

Your best bet is probably to join NCMedia's forum and learn everything you can from that guy, see how he create unique CB products and have hordes of affiliates promoting for him ....
 
My understanding is Clickbank products can generate as much as $500,000 in under 10 minutes, so I suppose based on that a month would generate about $2.1 billion, but I guess that's only for the biggest products, so maybe you'll make $1.5 billion.
 
think gravity. you first have to sell the idea of people working for you. nobody has to do a damn thing for you on cb. that gravity has to entice sellers.
 
Advise: - It sounds like you're trying to master being a merchant, and pushing traffic at the same time.

Start off with pushing some traffic to your strongest competitors, both on Clickbank, and the other networks. Work out what works for them. Build up some good traffic sources (just break even is good at this stage).

Then work on optimizing and pushing to your own offer.

One step at a time.

Good luck dude.
 
Asking some random people on a forum to project estimated revenues for you? With just the price of your product and an incredibly vague description of your niche, much less your product? Fail question is fail.

ericvondoobie and prince sum up my sentiments - there's a shitload of preparation to do before "launching" an ebook. Many times more so for the investing niche.

that's actually a decent idea.
 
99.9% of CB products are epic fucking failures. There are already a lot of financial products out there, bro. Don't put all your hopes and dreams into this project, because it's likely going to flop hard. I don't mean to be negative, but the reality of the situation is that unless you have a product with proven conversions and awesome payouts, there's really no reason for people who are already getting traffic and converting on other products to switch to you.

Give good affiliates a reason to switch to you. Moreover, do a lot of research and reach out to sites in your niche that you know are getting traffic. Trying to cultivate a mass of noobs is generally a waste of time. None of the have traffic and they'll jump ship fast.

Good luck. Hope you can make some cash, but chances are your product isn't going to do well without a lot of effort and at least 6 months to a year worth or hard work. The hard work is well worth it, however, as there is nothing sweeter than seeing a few hundies of passive income in your CB account every day.
