The Results Are In… Very Interesting Findings!
This is just a quick note to say a “huge thank you”
for completing the survey I sent out a few weeks
ago.
The response was simply staggering!
Little did I realize I would receive so many
detailed and informative responses to my
questions.
Over the last 4 weeks I’ve been learning so much
from your replies. Its incredible to see so many
of you are *genuinely* interested in starting
your own successful Clickbank business.
And by successful, I mean, to be able to earn
enough money from Clickbank that you no longer
need to work.
That’s the initial goal… Ditch the day job!
Reading all your responses these last few weeks
has given me so much inspiration…
I’m seriously thinking of putting together
“something” that enables you to replicate my
success.
I’ve been successful on Clickbank since 2005.
It really frustrates me to see so many of you
not achieving the same level of success that
you deserve… especially considering how I
started off very much like yourself, but then
learnt the key skills to make my online
business a success.
How do you measure success?
Well, earning $360,000 in the last 6 months
alone is definitely one way… But I prefer
to measure success by another yardstick…
Being full time at home has enabled me to
spend so much more time with my Teresa and
our 4 children…
After taking our older children to school,
I can come home to take our 22 month old
daughter to the park. She loves the park!
…and so do I, as I get some fresh air
and fresh “thinking time” away from all
the hustle and bustle of everyday life!
Thinking time like … what car shall we
buy next? A new Mercedes for myself or
a 7 seater Land Rover Discovery for the
whole family to enjoy?
Decisions, decisions.
You know, one of the reasons for my
success in the market is that I have
aligned myself with success. I regularly
meet up with other successful online
marketers where we can brainstorm and
mastermind what works and what doesn’t.
It’s a well known fact that people
who are successful find themselves someone
who’s already a success to “model” after.
It’s kind of obvious really when you think
about it… If you follow exactly the same
steps and strategies that a successful
person is doing, you cannot help but achieve
the same level of success too.
I’d love your feedback on this. Leave a comment below…
1. If you could take me to lunch one day and ask me anything you like about creating and marketing a successful Clickbank product (and I had to answer you), what would you ask?
2. Have you ever thought of creating your own product before? If so, how did it go? If you haven’t, what prevented you from doing it?
3. What else would you like to ask a successful Internet Marketer? (but have never had the courage or opportunity to do so!)

1.How would you measure your sucess?Bye your Failures or other things.
2.not really
3.Has anything in your childhood effected what you have become or not become.And why?Does it have to do with media,or morals from upbringing?
Thanks for this great post…
As you said success can be measured in different way: how much money do you have?
or how much time do you have to share the important moment with the people you love.
…And affiliate marketing can help you to acheive these goals.
one more time thank you Chris for providing value to your suscribers!
I love your blog my friend Chris
it is a dream for me
Enjoyed your blog. I would like a business with click bank however, I do not know to start.
Corzetta
I would ask you how to get traffic without buy clicks, or how to buy traffic but not risk losing my life savings….
I have an idea for a product, but I have done nothing about it simply because I wouldnt know how to get traffic to the landing pages
Hi Chris,
I think I finally found the way to make money with Clickbank, thanks to you.
Keep up the great work. Maybe finally I’ll make money versus spending it on the net.
Bob Schneider
Hi Chris
I like the fresh approach the brits are giving thought to.
i guess I\’m freaked out on Marketing and the whole bag of tricks that support it just leaves me cold or scared too spend money.
One day I shall step out and give it a go.
Coaching may be the answer have no clue how to make contact for a webinar also a gray area I\’m missing out on.
will keep in touch

Hi, Chris,
Modeling after other people is just more of the same repetitive limiting and mindlesss human behavior that is so responsible for the stupidity of collective humanity.
It is incredible how the brilliant minds who operate computers, internet, online marketing and such, stay shallowly immersed there and uncreatively ignore our limitless universe and it’s implications, while maintaining such intense focus on money’s arestation in human limitation.
As Marshal McLuhan said, “The media Is the message.”
Could such brilliant minds ‘take five’ in their own true stillness of stillness, shut their systems down for five minutes, and just dangle free for five minutes in the stupendous experience of quiet solitude in the colossal realm of “Aware Universe Existence”?; then get back to marketing that incorporates some meaningfulness.
You Magnificent Gurus are all Marvelous, but…………
Thanks for this invitation,
Blessings & take care,

Hi Cris,
Yea, those are about the right questions.
Writing one’s own ebook might no be too far fetched. Bit it is the rounding off that really maters. Designing a ecover is not for rookies get out his or her first ebook. So i would want to talk about this.
The second pon would be the actual wat to advertise you book, especially if you do not have a list.
I hope this line of discussion helps.
Regards,
Guillaume
1. How can I take a niche, and create desirable product?
2. Haven’t! How to structure the information from beginning to end, so it is a credibile product.
3. How much would it cost to mentor me?
After paying for hosting and buying instant websites, what is the next step and the next step after that? Clickbank market choices?? HOW and Where to then get/buy/ locate “traffic” to see my website offerings??And then what do I do to keep being “fresh” and get SEO involved positively??? I have been scammed for so much ($16,000.) and still have no online business in which to actually generate income. I’m stumped!! Please, please help me onward to a real, potential money-making online business!!
Hey Chris,
thanks for your email.
I am Kev Borg, and I am working on getting online after being self employed offline in several different industries.
I have been asking Newbies What Questions do they have as well, what are the most important concerns to them.
I thought you might like to see the top 6 Answers from my efforts for comparison.
The Top 6 Answers out of about 30, I get are as follows:
1] How do i get a website or blog set up
and running in the quickest time, when I dont know HTML.
2] What do I sell, I am not an expert on anything and No One will buy off me.
3] Theres way too much Info online, hence the \”analysis paralysis\” comments. Where do I start first, Who do I trust.
4] How do you set up payment.
5] How do I get lots of people to come to my site or blog.
6] We need help after you buy a online IM Product, but you can never get hold of the owner, who sold you the product in the first place, \”and that sucks\”.
Thats the most common question i have had, are they similiar to your Chris, if not, what are the main difference you have had/
I’l answer your 3 questions in another post, to keep it clean.
Cheers KiwiKev
Hey Chris
Great topic which had me thinking. Answers as follows:
1. Repackage a PLR product with new graphics or go the whole hog and outsource or write your own ebook?
2. Not very good with html and so afraid that pages would not be structured correctly.
3. Is google adwords really the key to the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow or does SEO provide the best longterm returns?
Many thanks
Luke
Hi,Chris,
there are so many fairy tales about becoming successful for one reason only:
you have to believe in it.
Billions of people are dying without any success.Millions of people spend a fortune trying to find somebody who can teach them how to make money online.
How many of them become a success?
Very few!
Why?
Because people who know how to make money never share their information with anybody! Never!
They can lie or cheat, but never tell you the truth.
Why?
Because they want to keep you a customer and buy from them over and over again.
Simple!
Thank you for the invitation to visit your blog. Agree that when trying to learn a new discipline or skill, it is very helpful to have a knowledgeable and willing “model”,”teacher,”mentor”, or “coach”.
Hi Chris,
I read your note today in regards to the tremendous response you received from your Questionaire. I have read several books in regards to a person’s stage in life. You sound like you are truly living your dream. It’s true, we are all looking for a way to make a decent amount of money on the Internet. As a matter of fact with this economy, if a person or company is not already well established in their offline business, they are doomed to failure. Right now the only people making money are those who have an Internet business. I’m not just blowing wind when I say that,it is a known fact. Any of the books you read today are all touting Internet businesses. For instance, I was just given the book “Cash In A Flash” written by two very well known multi-millionaires. I’m sure you know Robert G. Allen. I’m not sure if you know the other author. His name is Mark Victor Hansen, he is the author of the Chicken Soup book series. As a matter of fact, I think there is a downloadable book on the net at the present time. But to get back to your Questionaire, it’s true, there are a multitude of people (like myself) that are trying to make a living on the Internet and for some reason or other just haven’t been able to find that one “nagic key”. I believe that most people who are looking are not looking to become an overnight millionaire. They are willing to put their time in, just as you have done. It’s true, there are people who are willing to train them, but the price is so high, they can’t afford the training. It’s like a catch 22. The people are willing to be trained, but don’t have the money for the training, therefore, they will not able to make the money they would like to be making. The few things I do know, which someone just told me recently, is you have to have the “mindset” of a millionaire, look at yourself as a millionaire. Find out where the money people are spending their time in your area, start going there and mingling with them. Follow their lead. Get into their minds, much easier said than done. Another thing I just recently learned is to start your day off with some simmple exercises, such as: Today I….; I am grateful for….; I am happy anytime I…. Then you end each day also with a couple of exercises: What I did well today…; A closing prayer…; and last but not least is to make your Affirmations. The person who told me also said (which I have heard from many people who are extremely wealthy) – make sure to give back to your community, your church, or your favorite charity. When I wrote that last part about your favorite charity, it reminded me of Tellman Knudson (I’m pretty sure you know him or have heard of him). He has quite a life story to tell, but what I was really getting at is to look at what he is doing for homeless teens – “running across the country barefoot”, now I know this is an extreme way of paying back, but I just wanted to give you an example. You sound like a pretty straight-forward kind of guy, especially hen you talk about your family, a person can feel the love that you are exuding. It is so refreshing to read what you have to say. People get tired of the same old stories like – I lay on the beach all day now, I can go anywhere in my 60 ft, yacht, here’s a picture of me drinking a (whatever) on some exotic beach that no one has ever heard of before. That’s not what people are looking for. They are looking to hear a normal story such as yours.
Now that I have rambled on and on. If you are looking for a way to help people get started – why not write a home study course. You are a very good writer and I think most people would understand what you are talking about as long as you don’t use words they will not understand. It may take up some of your time writing the directions, but if you made them simple enough, I’m sure people would understand (maybe even draw a little map at times). I really think this would be a great thing for you. You could write the book without any extra fluff and BS. It would have to be a fairly inexpensive book or you could even have it set up so that a person could pay for the book over a course of time, rather than all at one time. If you did do something like this, there is a bonus for you also – you would be gaining another list – and you know that if a person is happy with the first product they have bought from you, they will come back for more. WOW, don’t ask me to write any comments anymore, I tend to get carried away.
Sleep on the suggestion, discuss it with your wife and then make the decision.
Best of Regards to you and your family. Casy
PS After writing all that I did above, when I went to puch the Submit Comment button, I saw your message under the Submit buton. Oh well, I was on the right track anyway.
Thanks for the opportunity Chris to make a comment. I disagree with you that just because you can do something and say you do that something the same way you will have the same level of success or failure…that to me is theoretical BS, it does not work that way…why…because no-one can put the words to-gether as you would with the same personality. We are human and all different.
To do exactly the same as you or anyone we also would need the same mindset and it is here that this theory of what i can do you can also is not possible and why it is BS. It is a bit like following a top athlete by following the exact same exercise routine and life style you would achieve the same athletic results…BS again…you would need the same mindset also to even get close. So whenever I see the statement of follow exactly what I do and you will achieve the same results they are deleted because that is BS. Thanks Doug
I have exactly one question: “How would you use a Creative Commons license to increase your bottom line (if you aren’t familiar with what that is, details are at http://creativecommons.org/)?“
Hi Chris,
i’ll have to agree with you that learning from the best and associating with like minded people it’s a first step to the learning process.

It is scary to be put in a position, or to put ourselves in a position where we do not know the next steps to take to start to see something positive happen. It is not hard to figure out what we want and we are continually told we can get. The more we are looking over the shoulder of someone who really knows what he is doing the more chance we have of succeeding and not only is this important for the well being of our lives, but by getting the knowledge this way it speeds up the process, which in the long run will lead us to bettering someone else’s life as we have been helped to better our own. This would make life really wonderful and worthwhile.
Hello Chris,
Hello Chris,
I enjoy reading all your notes. My biggest problem right now is loading mysite to my host. I have studied tryed and studied again, but it just is not working. Plus there is a lack of money to really do the things I need to do. I am retired and am 69 yrs old and really struggling to survive. I keep trying with clickbank and evem advertising and no luck. Please keep this between you and I. My wife has been very ill for the last ten years.The medical bills have totally wiped us out. She had breast cancer in 1999. heartvalve surgery, heart attcks, and now she has pulmonary hypertension which is a death sentence.
WE are hurting so if I don’t buy any of your products that is why. I really enjoy your insights and intelligence.
Thanks for lending me your ear.

Hey Chris,
How are you?
Thank You for this great opportunity.
I understand we make the most money by Having High Converting Sales Copy, Which Then Sells More Products/Services, that are Specifically Targeted To Provide The Solutions to the Problems & Needs of a Hungry Craving Crowd of Repeat Buying Prospects. Plus Building Your Lists For Future Email Marketing etc.
Here are my 3 Questions.
Chris, since you’re now making those Huge Sales Volumes We All Dream Of, You Can Finally Tell Us The Truth, That All The other Gurus Promise To, But Never Do…
QUESTION [ 1 ]
Which Specific Internet Business Model and Traffic Generating Method Provides The Same, Consistently, High Sales Volumes and Profit You Produce On A Daily Basis.
QUESTION [ 2 ]
Yes I Have & Still Do Think Daily About Making & Selling My Own Product/s Online, To The Point Where I Have Several Drafts Outlined. But I Have To Be Satisfied I Can Fulfil A Genuine Need And Not Just Add To The Clutter Online.
What Prevents Me Specifically Going Full On, Is Not Knowing Which Business Model Generates The Highest Consistent Sales Volume, Long Term Profit and The Types Of Traffic Numbers That We See Daily On Every Gurus Sales Page.
Either Making & Selling Your Own Product/s Or Doing Affiliate Marketing or Combined?
QUESTION [ 3 ]
Quite Simply, The Truth About Which Traffic Generation Method/s These Gurus Are Really Using To Provide The Types Of Sales Volume & Traffic Numbers, That Each and Every Guru On This Planet Keeps Showing Us With Those Ubiquitous ClickBank Sales Reports Everywhere?
Chris, Once again thanks for this opportunity and have a nice day.
Cheers KiwiKev
Hi Chris,
Nothing much to say except that you are among the internet marketers I trust.
Well, semi-trust. I mean, I don’t really even know you, do I? Still, I seem to kinda trust you for some reason.
Don’t abuse that trust, okay man?
Nothing but more and more success to us both! I hope!
Later.
‘Morning Chris from Bournemouth (all the Libs have, thankfully, departed!)
The results of your survey were remarkable and, clearly, you are building a staggering fund of loyal clients; well done.
This is just to wish you well with the continueing success that you have earned and to remind you of my intention to approach you with a JV of my currency investment system upon which I have been working and investing(£200k+) in over the last 6 years and which, at last, is producing the colossal results which will substantiate the headline on the future website which will read “WOULD AN ADDITIONAL TAX-FREE INCOME OF £10,000 PER WEEK BE OF INTEREST?”
I will be in touch to ascertain your interest, if any, in the proposal in due course.
With best wishes for your future,
Yours sincerely,
BRIAN
Hi- Thanks for the email.
It is always a struggle to get started. Once you set up a blog how to get traffic to it.
How to set up a Splash page for someone to buy your RSR products.
I have set up a blog with some free products but struggling with the Images and content relating to them. My first attempt. Still sorting it out.
Thanks again

Hello from “down under”.
For me “that” is an understatement. Not one thing in my life has gone right. Had every major event (bad) happen except going to jail. (And never been into drugs or wanted to commit suicide).
Not interested in going to my day job, just keep turning up to feed the credit cards. Now realise something has to change. Struggling from pay day to pay day. I have made a decision….This is my time from this moment on, and asking for some help, to shift the “bad” stuff out of my life!!
So what do you reckon – can you help? Only thing I can offer if your help proves successful is loyalty and an honest review. Please help.
Steve
Yo.!?
What a world like if an opportunity comes and no step is made to grab what it has to offer? but i wanna like asking if this is allowed for person in Nigeria and it does, then clue me in to get closer.
Hi Chris
Hope all is well. I learnt a lot from you in your last coaching program, not quite there yet but moving forwards slowly but surely.
This IM is a hard nut to crack!

ACtually I would not spend too much time to create a product to start with.
That takes too much time, which I do not have. SO I stick with CB products and other affiliate networks and promote those. That is way easier than product creation.
SO as an answer to your first question would rather be how I can create a good promotion for an existing product.
Did I ever go to create a product? yes, actually I did. After visiting a workshop in the Netherlands from a marketer here (Eelco de Boer) I did start doing just that, because he told me so.
Looking back to his advice this made no sense to me after all.
His idea is, create a product and get 100% of the sales. Find affiliates to promote the product and give them 50% or more?????? Go figure, what 100% do I get then? well, 100% responsibility for upgrades, support etc and getting paid less than the affiliates. That is a big NOGO for me.
what I would ask but did not dare to? Well I guess these Internet marketers won’t bite, beat or scold at me so that is not an issue. What I would like to ask though why my inbox is getting flooded with super cool, super latest, super hot must have mails and never a complete system? And yes, those mails mainly come from the successful internet marketers themselves. It seems to me that the tools they sell are only part of the system WITHOUT revealing the complete system.
