Lots of people claim they got rich with JVZoo but is it true

JVZoo is a popular affiliate network among people in the MMO or “make money online” industry. Most of what’s sold on there is info products like ebooks, video tutorials, software, apps, plugins, and things related to gettin’ rich. You know, stuff like email marketing, list building, self help, product development and more.

For a hot minute people were pumping out these types of products daily. It’s calmed down a bit, and there are fewer scams than before, but can you still make money on JVZoo these days, or is it kinda dead?

Making Money on JVZoo

Firstly, to answer the question directly, yes, it’s definitely possible to make money on JVZoo these days. Though I have gripes about many of the products they allow on their platform, there are some legit things to be sold, and they consistently pay on time.

They’ve been around for many years and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any grumbles about not getting paid when payday arrived! In fact, I actually do make money with them.

Here’s proof:

Brief Affiliate Marketing Recap…

For the newbies out there, let’s make one thing clear: affiliate marketing works. It’s not about whether making money online is possible or not – it’s definitely a valid way to earn income.

You just have to figure out a method that works for you, and a method that you can scale from earning your first dollar, to having your first $1,000 dollar day.

You can learn how to do what I do with my email course for newbies.

If you’re a beginner, an affiliate marketer is essentially a freelance advertiser. You try to sell products or services from other people, and are paid a commission for each sale you make. So when you join JVZoo, you are helping product creators promote their stuff.

About Affiliate Networks

Affiliate networks are just places where you can go to browse affiliate programs. They are like market places, where buyers and sellers can connect. Product owners and businesses submit their products/services to the network (usually paying a fee to do so), then freelancers like you can I can browse their offers and choose which ones to promote. 

In just one website, we can browse thousands of offers from a variety of industries. JVZoo is an affiliate network, so you can expect to find lots and lots of different things you could promote.

As mentioned above, most of the stuff on JVZoo at the moment is about how to make money online. It doesn’t have to be that way (it’s not a rule at JVZoo), but that’s just the way it is. Clickbank has more variety if you want to browse a more diverse set of digital products.

Alternatively, you could browse e-books too!

As the marketing side of the equation, we have to make decisions about what to promote:

  • our niche and target market
  • the quality of the product sold
  • the refund rate
  • product creator history
  • other incentives like prizes, bonuses

Other popular networks with a variety of affiliate programs available are Commission Junction, Shareasale, Impact, and Rakuten, but there are more.

Another one that is gaining some traction lately is called WarriorPlus. However, they deal mostly with the “make money online” industry, so just be aware most of their offers are related to that topic.

What About JVZoo?

So where does JVZoo play into all this? JVZoo’s products are digital downloads, and most of what I’ve dealt with personally is in the internet marketing industry.

Here’s just a short list of products that I’ve purchased within the last year in order to do reviews on my website. Green buttons were purchased without issue. Blue buttons were refunded because the product was not very good.

I’ve even purchased some plugins and themes!

jvzoo product purchases

Quality varies wildly. I see a TON of binary options products that are scamming people out of $10,000’s of dollars on a monthly basis. Seriously.

These are pretty bad scams and they are allowed to sell their products through this affiliate network. It’s a real shame.

Digging a bit deeper, you can see there’s a huge list of non “make money online” related products to sort through. Here’s a screenshot of just some of the other stuff offered on JVZoo. Don’t get too excited yet though…there’s a catch to be aware of.

jvzoo product categories

This is great that the categories exist. But the catch is that even though you see links and options, many of these categories are actually empty because no one has submitted a product.

magic related products
magic related products = none

 

barbecue related products
barbecue related products I dont think so

Weight gain, dental, comedy…they all resulted in no results or unrelated products.

Weight loss, weight gain, and health products did produce some results that would be worth looking into, including some PLR products. But most products categories were empty.

Is JVZoo A Scam?

Although they host many scams, JVZoo itself is not a scam. They pay affiliates on time, and they refund customers when necessary.

The only problem I have with their current system is that JVZoo does not handle refunds. As a buyer, you are required to request a refund though the seller. When a seller ignores your request, JVZoo won’t step in and refund you.

How To Find A Good Product On The JVZoo Marketplace

There are thousands of products already on the marketplace, and more are released every month. Finding something that converts to sales and turns into money in your pocket can be a challenge. The first step is to find a high quality product with an attractive sales page!

4 Steps To Finding Affiliate Products

7 Metrics To Be Considered

product marketplace 3

  1. An old product could be out of date, or it could be a strong, evergreen seller with long term income potential. A new product could be relevant and interesting, but high sales figures could be due to a over-hyped launch
  2. Many products sold could be because it’s a good product, or just because it’s old
  3. This is the average conversion rate for all affiliates. Yours will vary. Higher is better, but cheaper products tend to convert higher anyway so keep that in mind
  4. Related to conversion rate and the price of the product. This just provides a simple metric to compare similar products on which one is likely to earn you more money for the traffic you send to the sales page
  5. Some products have several more products in the sales funnel, with varying prices and commission rates. This is the average commission paid per customer acquired. You may be promoting a $10 product with 75% commission, but if there’s a $97 upsell after they purchase, that will make the average commission for the product go higher that $7.50.
  6. Commission rates can be important when you decide which products to promote.
  7. High refunds bad. Low refunds good. If a customer gets their money back, you lose the commission. This is why it’s important choose products that are not misleading in their advertising

For many offers, you have to request to be an affiliate. This makes sure that you are not a robot, and provides some assurance that you are going to promote their offer in a legitimate way.

I’ve never been denied, but I have been ignored. Being ignored a good sign the product is no longer being sold, or you should not be promoting for the seller anyway!

If you are browsing JVZoo, I highly recommend you buy something before you promote it. I’ve seen so many products that make insane claims like teaching you to make three hundred dollars an hour, or that you can earn a full time income by the end of the month.

Final Thoughts

It’s pretty clear that it’s possible to make money on JVZoo, but before you try, think about what you want to sell and who you want to sell it too. 

If you want to look beyond this affiliate network, you can do that too. There are thousands of different things you can promote, and many companies you are familiar with have affiliate programs you can join for free.

So, what’s been your experience with JVZoo? Have you found anything worth promoting on the site? Have you bought anything worth your money?

There are thousands of different side hustles you could do to earn some extra money on the side, and which one "clicks" for you depends on your personality and goals. However, there's one side hustle that makes an insane amount of money and works for anyone.

Starting an affiliate website is an incredible way to earn extra money because you can do it from your home on a laptop, and work on your business in the evenings and on weekends. The income potential is huge, and it's easy to scale

      JVZoo’s support is pretty poor in my experience. I’ll agree with that. I don’t think they’re “stealing” money from people, but I’m sure there was a mixup and they don’t care enough to help you fix the situation.

      this was there reply to my problem with them
      Hi Darren,

      Thank you for contacting JVZoo.com support.

      We are only able to provide support for the JVZoo.com website. If you are having trouble logging into your actual product itself (after hitting the Access button), you will need to contact the vendor directly. We cannot provide support for the individual products – simply because we do not own them and we can’t provide the information that you need.

      Please contact the product vendor directly. Their support contact information is on your JVZoo receipt above the download link.

      You can login to the receipt area here: http://www.jvzoo.com/portal

      If you are unable to receive a response from the seller at the support address, you may try finding alternate ways of contacting them. You might try posting on their thread, if their sales page is on a forum, or you may want to try contacting them via their Paypal address (the receiver of your payment on your Paypal receipt). If all else fails, you may want to attempt contacting them directly through Paypal itself.

      I hope this helps you get your support questions answered.

      i told them that the vendors not responding to emails and that his sites up for sale Joke

    I’ve heard so much about JVZoo and I’ve been studying them for about one year now.

    Two months ago, I decided to create an digital product called [removed] which I will launch on JVZoo. I believe its a Great place for affiliates, and I have no doubt about being a vendor on JVZoo as well.

    How ever individual experience matters, and this is the reason why I have chosen JVZoo over ClickBank.

    To let you know, I do a lot of Product review which you can find @ [removed]

      Aside from the self promo stuff, thanks for the comment Uncle Naira! I’m curious – why did you choose JVZoo over Clickbank? I think some people are moving To JVZ from CB because CB came out with a competing “make money” product.

    I thought I was on a winner, until the vendor started doing hoops around paying me!
    Firstly, I was invited by a vendor I once had a partnership with on CB. I had no problems on CB for this vendor, as CB always paid on time and they always make sure affiliates get paid for their hard efforts.

    Anyhow, as most of you are probably aware of, JVZoo has two payment types: 1. instant and the second one is the delayed type. With instant, payment is deposited instantly into your PayPal account, while with delayed, you could be paid anywhere up to 90 days. I have well passed the 90 day period and the vendor, seemingly won’t pay me for my 19 sales! I contact JVZoo and it seems it’s totally beyond their control; or at least, that was the communication I received.

    Anyhow, after some debacle, the vendor FINALLY responded, indicating that 4 payments out of the 19 will be deposited into my PayPal account, to which only 2 was made!

    I have sent emails with evidence to JVZoo but they keep referring that it’s between me and the vendor. So as far as I’m concerned, this vendor has TOTALLY profited from all my hard work and not to mention costs of running ads!

    If you find an honest vendor, then JVzoo can be a great affiliate platform, but likewise the opposite, it can be a living nightmare!

    ClickBank is DEFINITELY the better affiliate network for making money – I would rate JVzoo LAST… and I’ve only just started using them in the 8 years I’ve been affiliate marketing!

    By the way, for all those that want to know – AVOID promoting any products at all for the vendor GLEN HOOKE!

    I hope this will serve as a lesson to NOT take! Cheers

      Same experience here. Most people pay quickly, but I have one guy that has been stringing me along since Feb for about $75 in payment. Good point that JVZoo does not intervene, which is completely stupid since they are proving the service of connecting affiliates and vendors.

    I’m fed up of affiliate sites being overrun with money making schemes. I sell a how-to video product on how to make corsets in the sewing niche. The craft and sewing niche is huge! But despite JVZ having a sewing product section there are only about 5 products, all crappy with sales pages full of spelling mistakes. I don’t want to list my product on a website like that or share those products with my customers. Why when it comes to affiliates does it seem like nothing exists outside of the get rick quick niche? I listed my product on click bank and it wasn’t touched despite it’s great sales page, high quality and relevance to any sewing/craft website. I’d love your 2cents on where us craft & sewing nichers should be looking for affiliates?

      JVZoo is one of the worst places to put your eBook IMO. Clickbank would be my #1 recommendation. If you haven’t got any affiliates yet, you may need to a take a more critical look at your website, landing page, and compensation. Some products pay 75% commissions, have potential for recurring sales, and even contests that award affiliates. You are right that the get-rich-quick niche is usually the most attractive to affiliates, but there are some legit products and legit affiliates out there that make money in non-MMO areas.

      You could also do some of your own advertising work by starting a website or blog about your niche. It’s not as “fun” as having affiliates do the work, but you’ll make more money. You might be able to go onto relevant websites, email the owner, and see if you can do a guest post or give away free copies that other sewing bloggers can review on their website.

    JVZoo’s my primary source as I like to promote internet marketing products. I agree there is some junk on there, but after awhile you get good at spotting the worthwhile programs and recognizing names from previous launches with good reputations so you know what’s worth your time.
