CBMall
is Mulligan's flagship product. It is an interface to the
ClickBank lineup of products. The idea is that you sign up
as an affiliate with Clickbank, and then you can represent
any and all of their lineup of merchants.
[Later
entry from Roger, your reviewer] When I originally posted
this review about 2 months ago I bought a clickbank membership
at the $49 level. I didn't do anything with it other than
write this article. I didn't even look at my account. Today,
11/2/05, I received a nice surprise of $105.46 in the mail.
I'm not sure how much if any came from this article and how
much just happened to my storefront through the random assignment
you automatically get, but I'm not complaining. Now back
to your regularly scheduled article.
Normally
you would only be able to represent a single product with
a link, but CBMall gives you a way to offer an entire shopping
mall of clickbank products with one affiliate-embedded link.
No matter what the guest buys from the CBMall/Clickbank storefront,
you get the credit for the sale if you sent them there.
If
you were to go to Clickbank.com to buy a product, you'd be
faced with a storefront with no index. Products are only put
in order by their popularity. There is no search engine. But
the CBMall storefrnt is the Clickbank store, with a search
engine to the products.
In
order to use it, first you become a Clickbank affiliate, then
you purchase CBMall from Jeff Mulligan. He gives you the code
to the CBMall/Clickbank storefront with your Clickbank affiliate
ID imbedded.
CBMall
is also a Clickbank product itself, so if you have a Clickbank
affiliate ID it is possible to sell just the CBMall product
by itself without becoming a paying CBMall customer.
As
with most affiliates, once you refer a guest, they will receive
a cookie so you'll get credit for future visits.
It's
a beautiful system. There are no pop-ups involved. You simply
refer guests to the storefront and hope they find something
they like.
It
does have the potential of getting too watered down if too
many people own it. But so far I don't seem to be seeing CBMall
storefronts staring me in the face at every turn. Typically,
according to the stats on the top of each storefront there
are around 10,000 viewers per hour (cumulatively from all
CBMall owners) looking at the CBMall page.
Don't
expect to just buy it and start seeing money rolling in. It
doesn't work that way. Just like your website, you have to
get out there and promote it. Unless you can get targeted
people viewing it, you won't see any sales from it.
With
the Gold package for an extra $50 Mulligan will give you personal
prioritized consultation rights with him and 60 days of targeted
bonus traffic to your storefront. Again, don't expect wild
buying frenzies from the bonus traffic. You may be pleasantly
surprised, or you may be in for no sales at all.
The
most incredible thing about this product is the guarantee.
It's good for 90 days, but here's the good part. If you request
a refund, you still keep and use the product. Your storefront
remains active just a though you were a paying customer.
I'm
actually surprised that this product is a one-time purchase
rather than a monthly subscription, but I'm glad it is.
Yes
I purchased it and I recommend it, but you've gotta promote
it to make it work. It's not quick easy money. Jeff Mulligan
himself tells you marketing is hard time-consuming work. If
you think you're going to buy a product and kick back and
get rich quick, take another Valium and keep dreaming. If
that's what you think, don't waste your money.
If
you're going to work at it, there is good money to be made
and it's an incredible bargain. In that case, purchase it.
On the two links above, the first one is a way to look at
the storefront itself. The second one is the link to go to
the sales page to buy CBMall membership. (top)
