When we were done with writing all the content for the guide, we decided it would be easiest if we used ClickBank. That turned out to be a good solution as I feel we got many more affiliates than we would have if we were not on clickbank. Over 770+ affiliates are signed up to promote FBAdsGuide.
The main problem with Clickbank was figuring out a solution for the "Thank you" page. We needed a good solution other than a static "thank you" page to prevent the downloads from being easily shared with people who hadn't paid and we used Digital Product Delivery to do this.
After getting Local lead plan, I found that Chad was using a system called GetDPD. So, I decided to check it out.
GetDPD is a great system that integrates flawlessly with ClickBank for selling information product downloads.
Once the user completes payment on ClickBank's end and clicks through to the download page, DPD takes the variables sent from ClickBank, adds the user to your customer database, and if you opt to they "stamp" the purchaser's email address on every page of a PDF download in order to discourage hosting, sharing, or spreading the purchased guides.
Another great feature of using DPD is that they have great AWeber integration so that you all your buyers' email addresses are automatically imported to an AWeber email list for easy management and the ability to quickly mass email them.
Would I recommend DPD?
When we were getting setup, we ran in to a few hiccups, but their customer support was phenomenal. Seriously, some of the best customer support I have seen. (And, no, it wasn't because I bribed them with writing a post. I don't think they knew about my blog even...)
They quickly made permanent system changes to cater the process to have options for our needs.
Suggestions for the future
The main thing that I would love is if GetDPD decided to create an API of some sort so that I could develop custom download pages on my own server but that used their backend.
If this was possible, I would love the system even more than I already do.
DPD really made the product launch process a whole lot easier and if you're looking to do your own digital product, I highly recommend them!
