CB Fortune
CB
Fortune is a
business in a box
based on promoting
Clickbank products.
But it’s not
just another PLR
product, it is very
similar to Clickbank
Pirate.
The idea is to
provide Internet
marketers (usually
beginners) with all
the promotional
material needed to
create attractive
affiliate offers. In
other words to do
more than most
vendors provide for
their affiliates
(especially
beginners).
CB Fortune starts
pretty much the same
– you enter
your Clickbank id
and get a website
spit out with a
pre-loaded content.
You can edit it, you
can host a blog and
post additional
articles to it
– all to make
it unique. You can
also add your ads
– Adsense,
other network ads or
just custom banners.
My first concern
about Clickbank
Pirate (I inevitably
compare the two) was
about traffic. You
need traffic and
considering the
package is geared
towards beginners
for the most part,
it is a serious
issue. So how does
CB Fortune solve
this issue (or tries
to)? It has web 2.0
and social
networking
techniques built-in.
After examining one
niche package from
CB Fortune, I was
impressed with the
quality of the site
you get and how easy
it is to customize
it. However, I was a
little disappointed
about the promotion
part – I
expected a little
bit more. You get
PLR articles,
banners, sample
Adwords ads, but the
only automation is
the friend inviter.
But that’s
only good if you
already have a
decent network of
friends on one or
more social
networking sites
(and preferably in
the niche
you’re
promoting).
The other concern is
the duplicate
content issue
(a.k.a. the army of
clone websites). You
will not climb the
ladder of Google if
you look like 1,000
other websites, just
one of them will for
each term. While you
can’t edit the
graphics (well
technically you can,
but let’s face
it, very few can do
that and if they can
they probably
don’t need the
package at all), you
can edit the content
and add your own. CB
Fortune encourages
that with a built-in
blog and
that’s a great
idea considering
that beginners
really need to be
encouraged.
Lastly, even though
“business in a
box” sounds
easy, it’s far
from what you can
imagine.
There’s a lot
of work to be done
on your part, but
the framework it
provides does look
pleasing.
