Does Clickbank make you any money?

Yes I have gone from making sales intermittantly every 6 days to now making sales every day. If you are promoting affiliate products try payperclick advertising with targeted or long tail keywords. If you have your own product make a WSO on this forum and you will get sales.

Best of luck

You need a strategy Maya. Work out one or two methods with which you will focus on to generate sales from Clickbank.

In a nutshell:

1. Drive targetted traffic to an offer or landing page
2. Presell your visitor and/or offer them a free download/gift
3. Forward them to the Merchants offer

There are countless variations and tweaks to this basic strategy. Obviously there are other steps you need to take before and after the three above and sometimes, aditional steps in between. Keep reading the threads on this forum and you will start to figure it out.

The only way to determine what works and what doesnt is to try it out and keep testing.

Yes, the only way I've made consistent money with Clickbank is by using ppc. I also had some success combining Squidoo and Google hot trends to market cb products but this is time consuming and the rewards are often short lived.

Thank you for the feedback, I am a little confused as to some terminology, is ppc the same as adsense?

I hadn't had a single sale in 2 months and I thought Clickbank was all crap, however a change of tactics (which resulted in targeted traffic) makes me about $100 per day now.

Hi there,

I am a bit like you in that I have tried with Clickbank products without much success, but I do know that a lot of what I was doing wrong is that I was choosing products to promote for the wrong reason. You see I was picking products that had zero gravity or anything else because i felt sorry for the author (I have been a writer for a long time). It has taken heaps of research into other people's successful habits with Clickbank to realize that the only time gravity and what have you doesn't count is if the product is a new one that has just launched.

I am thrilled by a couple of comments here that you have had talking about $100 days - it will be us soon, don't you worry - just find a system that works for you and keep at it

Best of luck
Lisa

Nobody can tell you what you are doing wrong without knowing what you are doing.

Yes, there are plenty of people making good money with ClickBank, myself included, but I expect we all have different methods.

Tell us yours and we'll tell likely be able to spot why it isn't working - but remember, the devil is in the detail.

Hey Maya..

How are you?

Without knowing in more detail, exactly what you are doing each day to bring yourself traffic and potential sales.. nobody here can instruct you in any way that could be helpful.

Essentially, what you need to do is find a strategy or method of affiliate marketing.. that has been proven successful by those that have done it before you.. and put it into action with relentless effort.

You may already have your chosen method, you might not... if you have, then maybe talk a little bit about what you've been doing and you'll probably find that people will have a greater chance of giving you some guidance.

Peace

Jay

Just out of curiosity, how much does a mentor cost and for hold long does a person use a mentor. I've always wanted go that route. Internet is my main core business, has been for 13+ years, thought I knew it all until I stumbled on the world of IM.

I'd be very interested to know more of what a mentor offers.

Mayapearl:

This is not an "easy" venture. From your comments and post, it appears that you are fairly new to internet marketing. So, if you don't know what PPC is (pay per click by the way); don't even dare try it. You will lose a bunch of money until you know what you are doing.

That probably also means that you can't build a super-snazzy website either. That's okay.

Here is what I would recommend to make your first few sales on clickbank.
1. Pick a product.
2. Pick 10 keywords related to that topic that have under 20K exact search results in google. (to get exact search results, put your keyword in "quotes").
3. Write 2 or 3 articles on each keyword.
4. Submit the articles to ezinearticles.com
5. In your resource box; have your link redirect to your affiliate link. You can ONLY do this with a root domain. (example: www. redirect . com is okay but www . redirect . com/page1.html not. This will take the reader directly to the affiliate sales page so you dont even have to create a website.
6. For extra traffic and sales, build backlinks to your articles.

I am telling you from personal experience that this works. I would do something simple like this, until you are ready to jump into other things. This will allow you to learn and earn some money along the way.

Hope that helps.

Hey Maya,

There is alot of money to be made with Clickbank and the beauty is they pay pretty frequently. The downside is there can be alot of competition for a few products. Nonetheless, keyblast has given you a great strategy to follow.

Ignore this last post, I finally got it! Thanks again for all your help :]

You just started... if that was that easy then everyone would be making money online... there is a lot to learn and from what I've heard majority of those who try to make it online fail and never go back to it. Out of those who make it, everyone finds it's own passion; whether it'd be CPA networks, physical products, or digital downloads. There is a lot to learn and I think everyone has their little secrets that are pretty easy to implement once you know how to do it. You just need to find your thing

I know the feeling.

I was in hear 3 months ago, and created a very similar thread to yours. I was also having problems getting sales through Clickbank - in fact I had it made up in my mind that Clickbank was crap and all their products suck.

However, after getting more experience under my belt, I re-visited CB and tried different approaches. Now I get sales...but I have gone through 30+ websites learning things that I needed to learn in order to do so.

If you are just starting, don't let the no sale thing get to you. Play around with some other affiliate products and see what you can do with them. Then when you start to understand what sells and what doesn't, go back to CB and give it another shot.

Boy I'm glad I clicked on this thread! I think I learned as much as you did just reading the replies you've gotten from other online marketers.
Good Luck to you!

I have been a full-time internet marketer for 7 years now. I still make over 30% of my online income from Clickbank.

I´m also starting with Clickbank and I have no idea how to promote the products. But the advice of writing a few articles for enzinearticles is a good one.

With Clickbank, it's all about the presale, you have to be a bit more agressive in my experience, at least that's how I made my first sale.

It comes down to the fact that Clickbank is a **** load of hype and hot air. It doesn't look professional any way you put it.

You need to hype BEFORE they get to the sales page.

If you are looking for a one night stand and not working on building your name then you need one hell of a copy and a low price point generally speaking.

If you are looking to charge a higher price point then you need to build up your name or pen name to something credible, a list, etc.

Clickbank works and works amazingly, but its still a job.

Clickbank makes me nothing, it does however, facilitate my maketing efforts to the tune of a very good income. But the point needs to be made, CB makes me no money, I do all the work.

Clickbank can definitely be tough, send me a message if you have any questions or need some help.

I get fortnightly payments into my bank account from selling my own products on ClickBank, so yes ClickBank works! I also make money from selling other peoples ClickBank products but that's a bit harder. It's not hard to create your own products, that's how I got started.

I have a question please,

When you Warriors say use Adwords (PPC) then how do you do it?

Do you put your Clickbank affilaite link in the Adwords destination url and then display the URL of the product in your ad?

Or do you use Adwords to drive traffic to a landing page of your own on a landing page of your own about the product and then send visitors to the actual sales page with you link?

Please let me know as I am interested in trying this, but I just don't know which way to use?

Starting out can be discouraging getting no results. I am starting on some clickbank stuff and getting lots of visitors and no buyers (= no money).

I think I am going to try the pre-sell idea.
