I'm sorry, but I have to politely disagree on the Clickbank as a starting point. If it's working for you, more power to you, but I ran with them for 2 years and in the end, with all the returns they rec'd and consequently credited to my account, and the barrage of these eBook sales page ads seeming to lose credibility, I wouldn't suggest it as a start-off point.
I also used their merchant services, as well and didn't care for the fact that they had absolutely NO respect for my return policy; instead, they forced me to utitlize theirs. Now being that I was selling eBooks myself through them, everyone knows that this is a product where one can easily read the information, copy it and then complain about the product and say they want a refund. This happened to me with over 60 percent of the products I promoted and made sales on. Very frustrating.
Now I sell my eBooks on CD only and haven't had a return in over 2 years. I don't get as many sales this way, but those I do get final and in the end, I'm coming out ahead. My merchants make me more money with their products than the eBooks.
Now, perhaps this has something to do with the field I'm in, I don't know, but would love to hear others experiences and/or thoughts.
