Clickbank Pirate is great for someone with a list to promote online income generating opportunities and it also works well for someone just getting started.

I am in a position where I don’t have the resources to put together a phenomenal product, follow-up campaign, generate traffic, create graphics, sales pages, thank you pages, blah blah blah. Sure I have the ability to do all that, but the time and money hasn’t been there for me.

I found cb pirate and realized right away that it has flaws. On the other hand it has everything I was lacking for a profitable program and I could start making money on day one. I’m not going to bore you with the sales pitch – you can get that here.

There are 3 problems with this program and I think they can all be worked around.

1 – You are growing Soren Jordansen & Cindy Battye’s list.
If you are in any kind of internet marketing then you should know that your list is your goldmine. So if you spend all your efforts growing someone else’s list then you are ripping yourself off. That being said they addressed this problem right away by saying that all emails sent out would have your affiliate links. They will continue to promote to “your” list for as long as you are a member of CB Pirate. This is great for getting started, but they also provide some auto responder messages. I would recommend that if you have about $19 a month for an aweber or other autoresponder account then you should consider that.

Work on your own capture page, fill the autoresponder and grow your own list. In the meantime you can use theirs so you don’t have to waste any time learning how to set that up before you can start making money if you don’t want to.

2. Reporting – The reports aren’t detailed enough for good statistics. You do get a report that says how many clicks and how many conversions you have had. This doesn’t give you the information that I think you need to know if people are unsubscribing or if they are checking their emails. You can use clickbank to see if people are at least going to your order form and of course if they are making any purchases. You can add a code at the end of your link to at least track how different campaigns are doing.

3 – The biggest problem is that all the products appear to be online money making opportunities. Although there is money in this niche, it is HIGHLY competitive and it would be nice explore other niches. This could change in the coming months as new products are released. I have sent in support tickets to ask for upgrade options with no success.

There are a lot of great bonuses for purchasing the product and I love that it comes with the squeeze page, thank you page, free report, graphics, emails, popups, twitter posts, and several other great tools.

You really only have to drive traffic to your squeeze pages to start seeing results. Not as easy as it sounds, but WAY easier then having to fit all the other pieces together along with getting traffic.

Good luck to you if you are considering cb pirate or whatever you decide to go with. I would love to hear your comments about the product. You can also check out the warrior forum to find out more. This is a great forum for any internet marketer.
