Answering the Question: Does Clickbank Pirate Really Work?

In early August, Clickbank Pirate was launched with tremendous buzz as the latest and greatest system to make money online, but does Clickbank Pirate really work? I am never one to run out and grab a new product, or as we like to say – get distracted by all the shiny new things online, but I could not resist temptation on this one. The sales page is very effectively written in my opinion.

Now, I think we all know that a great sales page really does not mean a hill of beans when it comes to making money online. But the concept they are promoting is certainly a different approach than any other I have seen.

How Clickbank Pirate Works

Clickbank Pirate takes a unique approach to internet marketing using the hottest trend today – video squeeze pages. CB Pirate provides you with your own video squeeze pages that you drive traffic too. The squeeze pages then capture the email address, or lead, of the traffic and will automatically get them into an autoresponder series for you.

Essentially, they do all the selling for you, and you get credit for the sale through your Clickbank id. And, since the lead is captured via email, they will continue to “sell” to your lead for months to come, meaning one person can buy again and again from their follow up emails.

The video squeeze pages are very nicely done and the system in general is likely very effective.  Clickbank Pirate also hosts all the pages for you, and gives you your own link to send people too. So your cost of using the program is only the membership cost, which is $37/mo as of this writing. Thats basically one sale per month using the video squeeze pages and allowing CB Pirate to send the autoresponder emails on your behalf.

Yes, that will save you a TON of time in writing content and everything else. It really is autopilot and a very simple system conceptually.

But, in my opinion, there is one HUGE problem here….can you figure it out?

Searching for Alternatives to Squidoo for Health, Weight Loss and Diet Affiliate Programs

There is no doubt that the new Squidoo policy regarding diet related lenses was a good overall decision for the health and longevity of the site. But there are many of us who realized how lucrative this niche can be, that it was a little bit of a bummer to lose such a high ranking SEO tool from our toolbox for that specific niche.

I want to stress, however, that Squidoo is STILL VERY EFFECTIVE for creating One Week Marketing campaigns and making money online. There are endless niches to explore and build campaigns around that will convert and make money. All my lenses that are non diet and weight loss related are chugging along nicely!

But what is another alternative for those of us who want to continue to profit from the weight loss industry?

I am excited to share with you an option that I recently found, and invite you to look at.

It is called Herbal Biz, and is an offer from the folks over at MarketHealth.com.

Why Not All Online Traffic Generation Is Created Equal

Stick with me for a few minutes while I tell you a little story about targeted traffic, PPC advertising, getting rich quick, Clickbank, One Week Marketing, making money using Squidoo, and anything else internet marketing related! You see, this story is all of those things rolled into one!

About a week ago, I finally read the Maverick Money Makers website. The program seems to always have high gravity, so I have been meaning to see what the pitch page was all about. It is IMPRESSIVE.

About half way down the page was a 17 minute video – I normally skip right over those, but this time I stopped and watched it closely. The video was describing a new “stealth” method of generating super fast sales using AdMob.com.

AdMob.com is a pay per click advertiser that specializes in showing ads on iPhones. People see the short ad, touch it, and it takes them to the webpage of the merchant. A very exciting concept if you ask me. Because there are so many iPhones, and not many people know about this service, the clicks are ultra cheap – $0.03 cheap to be exact.

My Admob Experiment

So curiosity got the best of me, and I opened an AdMob account to take it for a test drive. I deposited $50 to start with, knowing that $50 would get me 1,666 clicks or so. A pretty substantial number.
