The basics of affiliate lists

There are tons of good ways to get traffic to your squeeze pages. I personally recommend solo ads to drive targeted users to your offer for the fastest results, however, they can get quite costly and you'll always have to re-invest in them.

You can always try SEO and free methods like blogging, forum posting, but those will take time.

Chris,

Set up a new PayPal account with a new email address.

Solo ads are when someone emails their list for you. They usually give you X amount of guaranteed clicks

As for how to promote someone's click bank product...I'd suggest getting on a couple different lists and see how other people are doing., mimic their tactics.

Hi ChrisKrause

Your mentioned 1,2,3 steps are one way to do it.

Another would be to create your own product or buy a PLR product to give as an ethical bribe to get people to sign up for your list in the first place, then provide more value & promote to them once you have built a list.

I would suggest you segment your list so that you have a buyers list and a freebie seeker list as the buyers will always be more responsive to your promotions. One way you could do this would be to get them to a squeeze page for a free product, and once they have signed up, give them a OTO (one time offer) to a paid product, this would give you 2 lists, a freebie list & a buyers list.

Obviously, you would want different messaging to go to each list. You would ideally want to educate the freebie list as to why they should buy from you (with value content), whilst with the buyers list, you already know what they want (as they've already purchased a particular product from you), so offer them bigger, better related offers to them.

There are loads of ways to get traffic to your squeeze page, but the best advice I could give you would be to pick 1-2 methods and stick to them until you see tome tangible results.

It seems too many people these days just try something for a while and then hop to the next idea without giving the first a fair shot.

here's a few ideas to get you started: Start a blog & create product reviews, create video reviews/screencasts and upload them to video sharing sites, create articles with links to your blog/squeeze page, Sols Ads, Ad swaps, traffic exchanges, create web 2.0 pages on squido etc, forum posing (but not spamming).

All the best,

Tim

I have another question. One way of making money, from what I understand, is making a site solely dedicated to someone else's product from clickbank. What I don't get is, how do you market it? It's not your product, so can you really refer to it as yours on the website? I just don't understand how you are supposed to refer to it, and place it, if it's not yours.

ANother thing is, I have a product in mind. I have a no BS, legit way of losing weight which I used on myself to go from being HUGE to approaching normal weight. Is it profitable to sell it as an ebook or is there another way to exploit that niche?
