ClickBank Reviews You Can Trust

This lens is all about ClickBank Hotshots. I give the reasons behind its inception, and explain how it benefits you as a consumer.

ClickBank, as you probably know, is a marketplace for digital goods. You probably also know that the ClickBank marketplace is cluttered with low quality products.

This is a real problem.

When you are thinking of purchasing a product from the ClickBank marketplace you know there is a good chance you will find yourself saddled with a lemon. Sure, you can request a refund, and there is a very good chance you will get it. But you have just wasted hours of your time searching for that product, making the decision to purchase (based on various sources of information I will discuss shortly), assessing the product, and then going through the refund channel.

I am going to show you how to AVOID this cycle, and go straight to the quality goods.

One of the things you are likely to have done, if you have purchased a ClickBank product in the past, is go to a search engine and type in "Widget reviews" if Widget is the title of the product you are thinking of purchasing. In fact, you are likely to do this for any kind of product research.

So what comes back for the search results? If the product pays a good sales commission to affiliates, you will see lots of search results claiming to offer unbiased reviews of the product. Naturally these all give the thumbs up to the product. Affiliates do not make money slamming the products from which they hope to make a commission.

Those reviews, unfortunately, tell you nothing about the real weaknesses of the product you are researching. They give you a totally BIASED, and hugely positive, assessment of the product. In short, you cannot trust them.

So what is the solution?

Actually, it is fairly simple. You need to find actual customer reviews for the product. Reviews written not by affiliates hoping to make money offering their views, but actual customers who have paid for the product and have agreed to write a review that has no financial reward associated with it.

But where do you find such a place?

Until recently you would have been out of luck. But I have created a ClickBank review portal to help solve this problem. ClickBank Hotshots is designed to operate a lot like the review section of sites like Amazon and Epinions. It is therefore easy to understand how the reviews and ratings are added to the site. The interface is familiar.

But what gives the system real consumer value is that a Quality Seal program has been implemented on the site. This means that products which are rated highly by consumers are awarded a seal that sets them apart from their competitors.

It is very difficult to earn a ClickBank Hotshots Quality Seal, so if you find a product with a seal you are almost guaranteed to enjoy your purchase.

I am going to wrap it up here. I'll provide a few links to more information about ClickBank Hotshots below. My hope is that you will be able to see at this stage how harnessing the collective opinion of consumers can help sort through the current clutter in the ClickBank marketplace, and make purchasing products that much easier for everyone.

If you would like to become a reviewer for ClickBank Hotshots, your opinions will be most welcome--not only by myself, but by thousands of other consumers looking for the kind of information you can provide!
