ClickBank: Only 1% get sales?

[InfoHQ.us]

I read several emails from marketers promoting a product.

They wrote:

"Get ready for a shocking fact...

I was reading an interview with
Clickbank's VP of Business Development
today, and in it he admitted that most
affiliates don't actually make any sales...

Clickbank has 1.2 million affiliates, and
only 110,000 of them make at least 1
sale every 3 months. The others don't
make anything at all.

And here's the really scary part:

Only 1% of the ones that get sales make
enough money to live on.

Man, that's crazy."

If you want to know who are they, go to http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...&aq=f&oq=&aqi=

Comments please. Thanks.

Well that's 10% make sales and 1% of that 10% makes enough to live on...

Anyway this shouldn't be surprising, as with all other programs and platforms, only a small amount of people actually take the time and effort to make something work.

These stats especially shouldn't be surprising with a program like Clickbank, with no requirements to join or maintain membership. I'm sure you can cut those 1.2 million affiliates in half right off the bat by counting ones that a) aren't promoting anything right now and b) never even really got started before moving on.

I this happens with every business. Eight percent sales are ordered by 20% of the customers. This is an established truth.

99% of affiliates are worth nothing - they don't try and if they do they don't know what they are doing. Many programs do a regular flush of non-performers.
