After nealy six months, I tired of trying.

So far, I've made 0 with ClickBank

Adsense is a little better, I do average about .10 every three weeks. At the rate, I should make my first $150.00 in a few years.

Actually for Clickbank, it depends on your traffic. I got my first sale within 2 weeks

Agree. But this can be challenging as well knowing the internet masses created and still growing esp. with blogging is nothing new, internet advertising and such.. have to think something out-of-the-box.. to create some kinda hype and a creative one perhaps ^^

My traffic has been jammed for six months.

To be honest, I have to admit as the person trying to sell, I want people to buy. But I have to ask myself, would I buy what I'm selling? In most cases the answer would be no. Now I have bought CB products and I've asked for a refund on all of them except for Profit Lance and that's because I waited too long.

Although I still have CB products out there, I could care less if someone buys or not. I know one thing, I no longer going to promote CB items.

I've done pretty well with CB - but currently I only promote one "work-at-home" product (Honest Riches). I haven't had a single return to date (fingers crossed). I think the problem with CB affiliates is that they tend to immediately go for the "hottest" product. This is usually some piece of garbage like Ultimate Wealth Package or Legit Online Jobs. People hate this crap. They buy and return these products (if they even trust them enough to buy them) as often as they change their socks. I have had success promoting non-scummy products like fitness guides or how to's. Stay away from the "make money online" propaganda and you should see some cash. It's all about finding a good Niche. As for AdSense, don't give up on that. It is all about content. If you have a site with substantial quality content, they will come and they will click. Trust me. Have you tried Kontera? They are a nice alternative to AdSense if you are truly fed up.

Well at least you stuck with it and gave it your best shot. Hopefully you find something out there that is better suited for you.

Are you the same duckbird who wrote he was going out of business several months ago? I think we all have been there. We try, we get frustrated, we try again - because making money online is our dream.

Hang in there. You will find something that works for you.

Good luck,

Cindy

Hi duckbird,

Sorry to hear you are still feeling discouraged. My advice hasn't changed over the months, so I won't repeat it. You already know what I think about the path you should take.

If you ever decide to give it a try, I'll be glad to help you.
