Refunds at ClickBank and Why Affiliates
Should Learn to Love Them
There was a time, early in my writing and
publishing career, when I came to dread people requesting refunds for
whatever they had purchased from me. The fact that some used abuse or
intimidation to force a fast refund made life sometimes unbearable. Now
it's all so very different, thanks mainly to ClickBank!
Because I
write my own products, I took it as a personal criticism of my writing
ability, especially if no justifiable reason was given for wanting a
refund.
Like many writers and self-publishers, it often felt like I was running
an unpaid library service and, more than this, I was working with hard
copy products and processing those items by conventional post. So I was
actually spending big-time on posting back refunds, and paying bank
charges for checks going in and out of my bank account for orders and
refunds. Worse still, I was shouldering the cost of outward and incoming
postage for items returned for refund.
Today, it’s all very much different, thanks mainly to firms like
ClickBank and the fact that many information products are downloadable
and postage free.
Money is no longer lost on banking and refunding payments because most
affiliate companies, including ClickBank, take payment direct from
customers and handle all the refunds.
And, best of all, the overwhelming majority of problem individuals tend
to contact affiliate companies like ClickBank direct for refund, meaning
fewer nasty encounters for product owners and affiliates.
But the real reason I genuinely don’t mind being asked for refunds is
because refunds help me grow the value of my mailing list for future
promotions, while also preventing me from wasting future time, effort
and money on trouble-makers and serial refunders.
Now when someone gets nasty about my own or other people’s products or
claims a refund more than once, I remove them from my mailing list right
away, hopefully never to darken my door again! Once removed, I’m
confident those still on my list are genuine, appreciative product
buyers, not trouble-makers and freebie-seekers. These remaining people
are those who receive all the free gifts and other bonus goods I
regularly create to promote my own or other people’s products or to give
as a thank you for supporting my work.
Selling on ClickBank really is a breeze, I recommend you give it a try,
not only to make money from their splendid suite of products, but also
to cut back on those less desirable elements of marketing online
mentioned earlier.
