$3670 October Profit

Time for another monthly profits post. There have been some big problems this month (mostly with Clickbank profits dropping way off) but there’s also been some strong performers in other areas that have made up for most of that drop off.

First of all, as far as Clickbank goes, I finished the month with just $622 net profit as a CB affiliate. I’m certain that’s my lowest figure this year. But the news is actually much worse than that. Because as of the first 7 days of this month I was at $462 profit. In otherwords the last 23 days I’ve made just $160 as a CB affiliate. That’s just shockingly bad.

Look at these numbers as a CB affiliate for October 8 through October 31:

4198 HOPS
14 SALES
7 REFUNDS
$160 NET SALES
3.8 CENTS PER HOP!

Of course I’m also a Clickbank publisher with my diet affiliate program.  Unfortunately that is not going well either. Net profits for the month as a publisher? $114. If you look back through this blog you’ll see that things were going much better with this earlier but the momentum is gone at the moment and I’m having a hard time getting back into it due to the lack of results I’m seeing.

I’m not really sure why things are going so horribly with Clickbank right now. Is it the economy? Is it something wrong with Clickbank themselves? I don’t know. Right now my feeling is: Work on other stuff. I just find CB too frustrating to even deal with right now. I’d rather just work on some of my other projects that have been a lot more successful lately.

One of the things that’s been working better for me lately are my eBay BANS stores. I made $529 with them this month and that’s without a ton of effort put into them. Considering how much more effort I put into CB I’m starting to think that maybe my BANS stores actually bring a better ROI. I’ll be working on tidying up my stores and getting more links to their pages this month.
