How can I make money with Clickbank?

25 replies
Hi,

I am new and I am glad I found the forum, because -
I spent the last 3 months buying and cancelling "Traffic Software" from the "gurus" who all claim to make loads of money promoting Clickbank products with their automated traffic software. By now I am fed up with all that BS...

Now my question to all the experts in this Forum is:

How can I make money with promoting Clickbank products?
Is it possible to make a living promoting Clickbank products?

And is there one single product out there that delivers, is trustworthy and affordable?

Thanks in advance for your advise, it is appreciated!:confused:

    You can promote other peoples clickbank products with you being the affiliate. Affiliate marketing is where you get a commission of selling other peoples traffic.

    How to make money promoting clickbank products?
    create a blog or a website, put some great content on there, and collect email addresses/ build a list. you can then set up an autoresponder series to provide them more content articles etc, and have some affiliate clickbank product affiliate links in the emails.


    On your blog or website you can also add these clickbank affiliate links at the end of your content.

    One single clickbank product? well im sure there is per niche, as there are many niches on clickbank from quit smoking to bodybuilding. choose a niche if you havnt done so, and see the top sellers using the clickbank stats , on their market place.

    most of all you need targetted traffic to your website/blog.

    Good luck and hope that helps a bit.

    Seriously, you're question is tantamount to asking, "how can I win the lottery?".

    Everyone selling Clickbank products, more or less, has a way to tell you, and chances are none of them are going to be any better or smarter than anything those gurus told you. The cold fact of the matter is that you have to learn how to do it yourself - you can get a coach, read every thread on this board, and still not make a dime. If you walked into a store and asked "how do I sell a candy bar" they'd have an answer. A different store would have a different answer. The point is that the 'how to' is the question you're going to have to answer - either way, we all want the same thing, to sell the 'candy bar'. The point of this whole community and this entire IM niche is to find out the how.

    XenaWarriorPrincess,

    I know how you feel and I completely agree with you that the internet is filled with so called guru's who really don't have a clue especially when it comes to driving traffic. I may have a solution your problem. I am not sure if you have ever heard of a course called the traffic voodoo. I would bet many people within this formum have not only heard of Jeff Johnson but have hudge respect for him because he able to put his money where his mouth is when it comes to generating traffic. Not has he made millions promoting his own products he specializes in affiliate products which include clickbank. See Jeff Johnson is a multimillionaire several times over and has made his living driving traffic to other peoples stuff. Whats is unique about Jeff's training program is that he shows you tools techniques that drive primarly free traffic to your blog, website or affiliate links but donesn't foreget how import using paid traffic is.
    Unfortunatealy Traffic Voodoo Closed at the beginning of the year however he has recently released Traffic Voodoo 2.0 Unstoppable Traffic that goes through his 11 non stop traffic sources. If you click on the link he has a series of free videos that explain the 11 sources of non stoppable traffic and provides realtime examples how they work. Right now he is providing a free cheat sheet so you can start implementing your 11 sources of non stop traffic beginning tomorrow. I have been using each the 11 sources and I have been over whelmed on simple these actually are to setup and start driving traffic to what ever you choose.

    I hope this answered your question. Feel free to send me a question comment or concern.

    Dean
    Ps There might even be a way to get a free copy shoot me an email and find out how.

    I definitely agree with some of the advice above. But no one has seemed to give you a more detailed step by step plan to "make money promoting Clickbank products", which is your question.

    Okay as I've advised several warriors before, this is what I highly recommend you do...

    Step 1: Grab your Domain Name

    Just go to Godaddy.com and purchase a domain name using a coupon code from "fatwallet.com" that you can find by going to google and typing in "godaddy coupon code". This will allow you to purchase a domain for $7.49.

    Step 2: Get your opt-in page done, up and running.

    The best and cheapest place for getting this done is "ScriptLance.com".

    Step 3: Your Free Give-Away

    Take a few days and just create a solid 10 page report with good information, that’s more than enough! You can also outsource it if you want.

    Step 4: Get The Free Report Cover Designed

    Once again, use Scritplance.com or if you have the skills you can do it yourself.

    I suggest just spending about $20 and get a nice one designed, it’ll help in your conversions.

    Step 5: Grab Your Aweber Account

    My experience with Aweber has been awesome. They offer great customer support and are very reliable. They're simply the best autoresponder on the market.

    Just go and grab your $1 trial for your first month.

    Step 6: A Good Affiliate Program To Promote

    Go to Clickbank.com and just grab a good product you like, get your affiliate link for it.

    Step 7: Test Your Opt-In Page


    Opt-in yourself and make sure it’s working well!

    Step 8: Start Driving Traffic!

    Post on forums like the warriorforum with your compelling "signature link"
    Create a Facebook and Twitter account and start building up your following and relationship with your followers. Then funnel them to your opt-in page after you have that strong relationship.

    This a great start for building a list in order to make money promoting Clickbank products and to be able to promote other clickbank products over and over and over again.

    Just make sure to give great valuable content to your list, treat them with respect (don't spam with affiliate links), and promote valuable offers that you have either used or know a lot about.

    I know there is a lot of products filled with a ton of bull**** like you've experienced, but there are some that are just amazing and filled with highly effective advice.

    For me, one product I've used that truly delivers, is trustworthy, and affordable is Chris Farrell's membership site. It's simply uh-mazing, especially for newbies, for getting your business started and profitable.

    You should definitely check it out.

    Hope this helps.

    Good luck.

      I'm afraid that's wrong, because your first step should be keyword research and you should buy a domain only after you know what are you targeting.

      A list of my own looks like this:

      1. choose a niche
      2. do a keyword research in it (through Market Samurai)
      3. create a website
      4. get informed about the subject and write a freebie to build your list
      5. write several articles discussing various topics in your niche

      drive traffic through:
      • social media
      • article marketing
      • blog comments
      • SEO

        Thanks for your thoughts Vogin. Yes, you must do keyword research before you do anything, but I assumed Xena was somewhat of a beginner to IM, which is why I wanted to give her a basic idea of the method of list building and did not want to get her overwhelmed with keyword research right off the bat since it can be very confusing for newbies when first starting.

        In any case, your method of

        is totally wrong, because as you should you know to become successful with an online business in IM you don't "choose" niches you go out there and "FIND" them. You see where there is a desperate need or problem MANY people are having (on blogs, forums etc.), check on a search engine like Google to see if people are actually paying to promote products through PPC (shows money is being made), do your keyword research, check the gravity on clickbank (if you're an affiliate), and THEN once you've FOUND a good niche you go into and test it.

        So, thanks for pointing out that keyword research must be done first, but it's only one way of "finding" NOT "choosing" if a niche will be worthwhile and profitable.

        Hope this helps you out Xena.

          Now you caught me off guard, because I didn't express myself well. I of course choose niches where problems need solving and people are willing to pay for t, but I failed to say it out loud

            It's fun catching people off guard sometimes lol...

            Yes, I'm sure you do market in niches that have problems and pay money to solve it, but I'm not a mind reader, so I couldn't see what you were thinking :p...and more importantly I didn't want other warriors here thinking that you "choose" niches and not "find" them. That would be terrible.

            Anyway, keep bringing the value man.

    I feel like you may have the wrong idea about affiliate marketing, especially since you've bought several "autopilot traffic" products which may have misled you into thinking that there is one product out there that is going to magically set everything up for you with very little effort on your part.

    Yes, it is entirely possible to make a living promoting affiliate products (not just Clickbank, but also amazon, commisson junction, CPA offers, etc.)

    The bad news is that there is no autopilot solution. As some of the others have mentioned, you have to do proper niche and keyword research, and then set up your site. You may not always rank organically with SEO techniques, and if that is the case you'd have to do additional work in driving targeted traffic to your site, and that can include youtube videos, article marketing, social bookmarking, social media traffic, etc.

    This is all going to require work and dedication, and I just thought I'd give you a rough outline of what you have in store for you if you want to make this work. It is definitely not going to be a pushbutton solution, but nothing like that exists (despite the salesletters you may have read that swear up and down to the contrary).

    Like others have mentioned, start with a Web 2.0 property first, and include your affiliate link near the top of your property. The #1 result for "fat burning furnace" right now is a Squidoo lens. Think about it!

    By identifying niches full of hungry/desperate buyers who already want information, supply the information, build lists, build relationships through email marketing and promote products with your affiliate link after/while establishing credibility with your customers, and build up your own website(s), NOT other people's, so that your business is continually developing income-producing assets which you own and control yourself.

    Yes - many people here are making very good full-time livings in this way.

    Originally Posted by XenaWarriorPrincess View Post

    Yes, there are hundreds.

    Out of about 13,500 active products on Clickbank.

    So, of course, most products aren't all of those things.

    From the affiliate's perspective, "product selection" is hugely important (and is where so many people go wrong, in my opinion). If it helps at all, my own little guidelines for selecting products to promote from Clickbank are in this post.

    And welcome to the Warrior Forum!

    • Hello to all you warriors,

      thank you all so much for your great advice!
      Is it Christmas already?

      Yes, I am really new to IM and I was so naive to think there could be a
      All-in-One Solution....,
      but nothing in life is easy, so I will follow your steps and start a new approach.

      Oh, and in case there should ever be such a thing as automated traffic software,
      will you let me know...? (Just kidding)

      Thanks again!

    The best way I have found to be successful with clickbank is to find a mentor who can show you from start to finish how to go through the process of marketing the affiliate product.

    A MENTOR will teach you to:

    1. How to build a website

    2. An optin form on your website to collect emails.

    3. Build your list by attracting vistors to the optin form.

    4. Register with Aweber so you can look at your statistics of how many people are wanting your free gift, ebook, etc.Once you have built your list of let say for example 1000 customers. We go to step 5

    5. Send an email to your list of the affiliate product that you are promoting.

    6. Just make sure that in your emails that you have your affiliate link to the specific product you are promoting. When customers click on the link and purchase. you also get paid.

    Clickbank is a great way to find products to promote. As everyone is saying, the easiest way to sell clickbank products is by building a list. Once you have a list you can promote an affiliate product and have an instant audience to hear your pitch.

    So, everyone has mentioned the power of building a list and I agree 100% that this is your best option. But I am going to discuss another powerful technique that you can use with your list building. Hopefully this will help you get some organice traffic from the search engines. . .

    Create a review style blog . . . You find products you like or have used from clickbank that fit your niche and you include detailed reviews of them, listing both the pros and cons of the product. If you do this in an honest sincere way you will generate some sales. Whats cool is you can also send your list to these reviews or once you do a new review . . . OR you could even do a video tuturorial on HOW to use this product with a link to purchase it.

    Also, be sure to include an opt-in box on the sidebar of your blog so you can gain new subscribers to your list as well.

    Good Luck with your affiliate marketing adventures

    the best solution is you can submit articles about the reviews of that product
    and purchase a domain like this urproductscam.com or info
    in this you have to write a review about that product is not scam and infact u r using it and at last add this wordings in ur page
    (get ur scam free product here ) which will get you the sale
    after this submit ur page to famous bookmarking sites which will get you the traffic

      My way of making money with Clickbank is:

      1. Find a profitable niche, looking for 3-5 similar products having gravity over 50
      2. Do keyword research with Google keyword tools and find several keywords (10-50) depends on your niche
      3. Use a primary keyword as the domain name and register a domain name with Godaddy or Namecheap
      4. Build a mini sites based on those keywords related to the Clickbank you're promoting. For 10 keywords, I'll build 10 pages.
      5. Drive traffic to each of the page with Article marketing, forum and blog commenting, and video or other social network backlinking building.
      6. Repeat 1-5 to build other mini sites and monitor your results and tune up the sites to convert better.

    Mr process is pretty simple, and seems to work ok. Offer a decent free product or service, and let the customers come. I don't advertise or anything like that on the site until it has over 1000 customers/members(I only do subscription model based sites for affiliate marketing) then once I have 1000 members/customers Ill likely add affiliate marketing onto the site usually by the ways of forum posts, recommendation articles, or even a product similar to mine that can be classed as an upgrade. Then once a month, or occasionally bi-weekly I send out emails to customers with some promotions. I don't force it too hard, and I simply play a numbers game. eg. For ever 1000 customers I have, I think I will get at least 5 customers buy a product a month. If I build that up to 30,000 or even 100,000 customers(which I have done) then I'm looking at 150-500 product buys a month. Based on an average commission of lets say(being fair here, no over estimating) $3 per sale the I'm looking at $450 - $1500 per month.

    That's a fairly simple run down of how I do things. Of course I optimize a lot more and have had varied success, with some bringing in $5000 a month for a few months, some only $200 a month. In this industry, its all about just giving it a shot I guess.

    Create your own product using keywords in your niche. eBooks, Mp3s, CDs, etc. Plenty of Internet gurus like Christian Mickelsen, Kathleen Gage, Cindy Battye, Janis Pettit, and Jeff Dedrick tell you how to do this even if you don't consider yourself a writer.

    Promote other people's products to your list and in your information products; just make sure the quality is great or you will lose credibility.

    Good luck!
