7 SECRETS To Getting Low Refund Rates On Clickbank Sales!…

How To Build a Happy List.. The SECRET of Getting Less Than a 2% Refund Rate On Clickbank
By Guest Blogger – Robert Hawthorne, Houston TX USA.
My wife has a few products that she sells on ClickBank, and over the last few years I’ve been shocked at the amount of people who have requested a refund – It’s less than 2%.
While we had our coffee and scrambled eggs my wife so kindly made this morning, we did our normal thing and talked about her business, goals, directions, problems, solutions, ideas for new products, marketing, etc.
The conversation lead to the facet she had received a refund request from someone last night. I asked her how long it has been since she received a refund request and she couldn’t remember. She just looked it up and it was more than 100 sales ago. Looking back through her emails, it’s apparent that she has less than a 2% refund-rate.
The reasons I believe it’s so low is because…
1. It Solves a problem in a non money making niche. One of her ebooks has nothing to do with making money and is a product that helps people solve a problem they have. It’s proven if they follow her advice in her eBook that over time people will be able to rid themselves of this problem.
2. She over delivers - The eBook is Loooooong and is jam-packed with information – much more than the sales letter I wrote discloses. So when people download the ebook and all of the bonuses, they feel as they got a lot for their money – which they really do.
3. She provides a ton of information for free.
Between blog posts and hundreds of articles, she gives away a ton of tips, ideas, and how-to information. Those who read her articles and blog posts realize, “Wow, if she is sharing this much information with the public, I can’t imagine what the information in the ebook is like!”
4. She builds a strong relationship with her list. This is some basic stuff, but all of the emails in her auto-responder are VERY personalized. All the way down to one that I tossed in that a TON of people reply to… most think that the email was sent directly to them personally. People know that there really is someone behind the website and someone that really cares about them. Read that last sentence again.
5. She provides a lot of special offers to those who are on her list.
My wife now has 4-5 products that she offers to this list. Every time we launch a new product, we give everyone on her list a special discount price only available for 7 days before we go live with the offer to the public. This little technique has been very powerful.
6. Survey’s the list often. She not only launches surveys to learn what other products/services her list is interested in, but also to get a general feel for where everyone is at. Based on this information, I make tweaks on the sales letter to overcome new objections that we learn people have. This of course increases the conversion rate and helps future customers feel even more comfortable with their purchase.
7. She responds to all emails - Have you ever purchased a product on ClickBank and you sent an email to the product creator and never heard anything back? This has happened to me many, many times. Heck, it even happened to me last week and I still haven’t heard from the fool.
Most of the emails are “thank you’s” from people, and of course there are emails from those interested in the product, but have some questions first.
Can the email-responding be outsourced? Yes and no. Any technical issues, like download issues can easily be outsourced. However, that is a very small percentage
of the emails. The rest of the emails have to be replied to by my wife personally, there’s no way around it. Yes, that is extra work, but that little extra work is a large reason why the refund rate is so low.
I’m sure there are several more reasons, but wanted to share the few above that immediately came to me. Hope this is helpful.

3 Simple Steps to Find The Best Way to Make Money Online
By Keith Everett
Making money on the Internet is not as complicated as people would have you think. You see, if you make it complicated, you can sell people as many so called WONDER cures as you want and many will buy.
But one of the real problems of the whole “Internet Marketing Thing” is people tend to over complicate things instead of taking time out to wonder, or if even to ask themselves… is there a simple solution to making money on the Internet
Now, I’m not saying it’s EASY.. Easy and Simple, are not the same..
As with anything worthwhile, making money online takes effort. Consistent effort backed up with a plan, not a weak PRAYER… Here is my simple 3 step formula for making money online, take this advice or leave it.
I have spent many months over-complicating things, thinking that “If you want to make money, you must do as much STUFF as humanely possible. In fact, I’ve spent hours and hours just doing STUFF… some days, I’ve done so much STUFF… I’ve felt like my eyes could BLEED watching this computer screen..
Doing lots of STUFF, does not make you great at making money – it just makes you good, at looking like you are doing something..
So what is this MAGIC, secret formula.. well, it’s not magic and it’s cetainly not a secret, just common sense really.
1) Find a market full of people who have problems that they need to fix… do your research online to find if this same group, also spend money trying to fix the problem they have.
2) Find out exactly what they WANT… not need. People tend to spend like mad on things they WANT, much more than on things they NEED.
3) Sell it to them… that’s right – sell them what they want…
The more URGENT the problem, the better and the more they think about their problem during the day – the better..
Example:
A) An itchy ASS… not very URGENT… annoying yes, URGENT – NO!
B) PILES… Very painful, pretty urgent
A) Back Strain.. mild discomfort – not urgent
B) Back PAIN… very urgent, will be thinking about this ALL day..
A) A Tiff with a Girlfriend/Boyfriend – not urgent
B) Heartbreak & Heartache… very URGENT… a solution is Urgently needed
I think you get my drift. There are a million and one problems out there each and everyday. People are looking for answers to pressing, painful problems, i’m not talking about problems the doctor can solve, I’m talking about problems – you can solve..
So, there you have it: Find a hungry market, feed it what it WANTS… keep doing this and you may just have solved one of your own problems.. it won’t be EASY, nothing worthwhile really ever is.
