1. What is a storefront ?
A ClickBank storefront is a shopping mall which displays the products from the ClickBank MarketPlace. Storefront products may offer a variety of features including
- customizable appearance to match your own site
- powerful search facilities of the MarketPlace such as searching across selected categories, restriction of search to title or description, boolean search e.g using AND/OR
- a search box installed at your site
- embedded search links at your site to a keyword or to a MarketPlace subcategory
2. How do you make money from a storefront ?
When you purchase a storefront every product is encoded with your affiliate link. You receive full affiliate commission for any product purchased.
This makes it a high demand product for ClickBank affiliates and you can also join the storefront affiliate program and collect commission for sales of the storefront itself.
The key to success with a storefront is to send visitors directly to a niche page that matches your target market as opposed to sending them to the storefront home page which displays all the products in the storefront.
For example, suppose you want to promote all the books which have 'AdSense' in the title or description. Here are the resultant search pages from two storefronts
- CBmall
CBmall has an additional feature, a selection of specially created niche pages. Here is one showing the TOP 10 downloads on the topic of 'Copy Writing.' Click CBmall
3. Two types of storefront
Storefronts can operate in two ways
On site: you install the storefront at your site
Off site: the storefront resides at the site of the supplier
Advantages of each type:
- On site storefront uses your own domain name
- Off site storefront does not require installation
4. Product Reviews
A review of storefront products follows.
Notes
- As products continually get updated always visit the actual site to check details and costs.
- Sites will make claims of 100% search of the MarketPlace and 'x' number of products. However the number of products within the MarketPlace constantly changes and each ClickBank search engine uses different technologies. So the best way to evaluate them is to ignore the marketing claims and try them out for yourself. Test them by comparing and examining the number and quality of results for various search terms, especially terms relevant to your niche.
