How to Make My First Clickbank Affiliate Sale

Hi, what have you been doing to try and make your first affiliate sale?

Have you researched your niche and studied how other marketers are positioning themselves in that niche?

Do you have your own website/domain name or are you using a free platform like Squidoo or Blogger?

Have you gone for free traffic?

It really is just a matter of getting things done in the right order and with the right emphasis to make that first sale.

Yes, you can.

I taught to one of my friends who didn't have any money how to make money with clickbank and a simple blogger blog.

All the best,

I have no sales as yet either for my new product but will be promoting it soon. I suggest you have a look around the Warrior site. There are several members that have large lists and you could ask them to send their members details of your product as affiliates or may be as a joint venture. Hope you are up and running soon.

i have a website with educative content but it seems no response from there. you can crtique it for me at

You can start by doing a little bum marketing which is all about using free methods to generate sales, to learn more about it visit this website Bum Marketing Method - Free Traffic Tips (it's FREE and it is NOT mine) but it is very
helpful.

Cheers

I feel for you. Don't give up though!

I used Clickbank for a few days promoting and made $60 + dollars in my first 2 days. It's not impossible. Just turn on some good music and get pumped up, then come up with a plan from what you have probably already learned!

There is a site like pingomatic that you can blog and then "ping" other blog engines to get traffic. Make sure you have content that will get people to stay and even better return again,Good luck

You can get a free autoresponder account with Getresponse.

For the free version, they put small ads into your email messages. It's not ideal, but good enough for you to get started. You can upgrade to the pro version after you start making money.

(Ahem) My affiliate link is... just kidding

You can signup for a free account at
Getresponse [dot] com /orderfree.html
(NOT an affiliate link)

do some articles marketing depending on the products ur promoting & do some seo for ur site this can help u to get more sales.

if you don't have any money to spend, just start submitting articles
and also use forum marketing.

both of these will drive some decent traffic to your site in
due time.

also, sorry to say, but your site is very unfocused and needs
work.

I made my first Clickbank sale around 3 years ago by finding a good product for students, purchasing a good domain that matched it and then hanging up flyers at a university.

I redirected my domain straight to the sales page via my hoplink.

I made a few bucks but it wasn't a very effective form of marketing

First off, since you are trying to tell people about registering a domain name, you should add some places to register at, and maybe even host at(they are related after all). And the links can even be your affiliate links to those places. If someone clicks on them you can potentially make a couple of bucks.
2nd thing, IMHO, get rid of the adsense, unless that is going to be your primary source of income. Since adsense is geared toward what the content of that page is about, its going to have places that you can register a domain, so instead of you making some money from that, you make a few pennies when some clicks on the adsense. Plus, its in a bad place, because that is the first thing that they see.

3rd I read the free info book.In it, it has tinyurl....URLs. People just came from a page that talks about registering a domain. Just this is a redirect service for long domains, but people who do not know about register domains might not know this. Yes, I understand these are affiliate links, however, you should create a landing page for those, that could either be an actual landing page, OR, a redirect. No affiliate muck, and looks better.

4th. Since you are advising about registering domains, your free report could have been about the different domain registry places, and then again, links to them, preferably through a redirect from your own website, and then mentioned flipping websites, and maybe offering a info book on that (for a price of course)

5th. I looked over your other articles. From what others are saying, OUT OF FOCUS comes to mind. I thought this was a website about domains registry, and maybe even hosting (since they are related..hint hint) You did mention website design in one of your articles, honestly, the article is all over the place, and should focus on designing a good website like the title suggests. And not get into the goop of HTML. Another twist on that could have been show how hard it could be to design a site from scratch, and either promote some website templates, OR maybe even a website builder, like xsitepro.

This just touches the surface to be honest. The site needs to be reworked, and turned around to focus on one topic. This will also focus your readers, and look through your website for the info they came there for. Domain Registry info, and such. Oh, and make your articles a little bit longer, giving just a little more, to gain interest from your readers You can give alot of info in an article without giving away the farm. You see, if you make them longer, and better, you could also submit them to the directories. In their current condition, they have a good chance of being rejected.

I hope this helps, and remember, do not give up, or give in, just because it seems hard, if it were to easy, everyone would do it, then where would we be?

BTW Yes I know you are promoting a hosting place through one of your articles, HOWEVER, I would suggest making a list of pros and cons of different ones. Yes, a review maybe. And Yes I do understand that you want to promote clickbank products, so that you can reach your min payout, however, there is more than just clickbank products to promote. Especially in the web hosting niche.

umm..ok..sorry for the triple replies here. But something else just came to mind. Its not advisable to promote the IM market if you are asking how to make your first clickbank sale. If you can make money with other things online, you can use the same tactics with clickbank as well. For example. IF you can sell chocolate bars online, and you are making money at it. Thats means you know how to get people to your site, and convert them to buyers. You can easily rinse and repeat this for just about everything online. So, I would hold off on the IM market in the mean time.
Just my advise. =)

Hi,

1. Track everything.
2. Rely on SEO and free traffic for the first sales.
3. Try to find some money for PPC marketing (I made $70 profit for the first day I used AdWords with a ClickBank offer)

Hint: Reverse Phone Detective offer converted very well for me!
