Questions About Webinars?

I received these questions through the help desk and I’ll answer them here so that everyone benefits.
I am anxious to get started and have a couple questions.
I thought about going to clickbank and seeing what software was available that I could probably use your idea of generating a video on how to get the best use of the software. Everything I saw there was less that $50, with the commission being even less than that.
Clickbank has a limit on the maximum price of products they sell - $50 I think (not sure if that’s been changed and I think I’ve heard it’s higher now). I do know of products on Clickbank that sell for as much as $180, but that requires approval.
So, my answer is - you can find them, but they’re less likely to appear there. A better place to look is probably PayDotCom - or tap into a specific niche within the IM niche where you’ll hear about things earlier than others - for example we just had Affiliate Radar, Speed PPC and PPC Riches launch in the price range I’m talking about (and I believe all sell off their own independent system - not Clickbank).
This is the same advice I give about affiliate products in general - often you’ll find the easiest, and most lucrative, products to promote off the beaten path and that’s why you NEED to get into a niche an KNOW it.
Is using Clickbank a good idea?
Following on my previous answer, Clickbank isn’t a BAD idea - it has some great advantages, especially as a product seller - but it has some definite disadvantages too. I recently did a webinar with a CB product and even though I offered a nice bonus package for buying through my link, in HALF of the sales the buyer used their own link. That just doesn’t happen with other tracking systems.
If not, suggestions on where to go to get $100 products?
I think I’ve covered that - it’s not so much “where to go” but “where to be” - you need to be where you’ll hear about products in advance. Watch the forums, IM Newswatch, get to know the JV brokers out there - get to know the people who do the major promotions in your niche - don’t do this in a general way - for example, know the people into PPC, or SEO, or affiliate marketing, etc.
Do you recommend a webinar on how to use the software or a webinar to sell the software?
What’s really great about a webinar is that you can do both. It can be tough to sell software with a salesletter - so when people see something demonstrated it removes some of the unknown, and teaches them a little about using it.
Of course, you can sell the software - then do a follow-up series of webinars that teach people how to really make money with it. A part of the value is teaching the “how to” and little tricks many may not discover on their own, but don’t discount the value of structure either - I know plenty of people who pay a personal trainer to get them to do exercises they wouldn’t be disciplined enough to do on their own. It’s a major mistake that more people aren’t doing this already.
