5 Steps to Making Your First Sale as an Affiliate Marketer | ClickBank Blog

I wanted the opinion of more experienced warriors, is this article complete? Will I really make my first sale if I do what they say here or is there a better way? Thanks!

    Nothing is guaranteed, of course. But I would think that if you actually did all of that you would make at least one sale. In any case, going through the motions will give you some real-life experience with several facets of Internet marketing.

    The advice is alright, alright..

    however, I would advise against publishing your content to other sites - I've heard some horror stories about Blogspot deleting or suspending accounts - therefore I would go for my own blog over at my own domain name and hosted on my own paid server. This way, I'm the one who makes the rules.

    you should consider this before investing in blogspot and realizing this too late..

    p.s. I've made my first sale using article marketing & ezinearticles.com; it was a weight loss product from what I remember..

      Can you tell me exactly how you made your first sale? Where did you learn to do this?

      Thanks!

    I'll simplify it a bit for you:

    1. Find ONE, DESPERATE, and relatively small/noncompetitive niche and a product to promote
    2. Make a blog with 1 or more primary keywords
    3. Write blog content, rewrite blog content as articles, forum market

    Textual links work better than big ads. Best of all would be a free offer to join your list where you promote the product, but if you are averse to spending money, you can move to that later
