Who here is a Clickbank vendor -- That is actually making money from it?

I would suggest that if you don't have enough money to invest in a copywriter and a designer then learn a little bit of it yourself first even if it takes you some time. That's what I did when I started out.

Id be happy to help out wherever I can. I do some graphic design work as part of my business, and seeing as your just getting on your way, any fees wavered. I have a health and fitness website and maybe we could strike a deal in the future.

Please excuse me if I'm "stating the obvious" here - and I don't intend to come across as criticising at all: just (hopefully!) to show you a slightly different perspective of your situation, which is maybe the one held by most of the experienced, successful people you're really looking for (you do want it to be someone experienced and successful, right?) ...

What you need comprises all the "high value skills" of the equation, while what you have (an ebook written and for sale) is something that can fairly easily be outsourced for $200/$300 or so. You take my point, perhaps? People with the skills/facilities available to provide what you say you need don't themselves "need" to be sharing the profits from such a deal with anyone - and (dare I mention?) perhaps especially not with someone not offering a substantial downpayment.

The copywriting is going to be the expensive part, isn't it? There are, for example, some copywriters who'll work on a profit-sharing basis, with a cient they already know and trust, but even then they'll expect (and get) a reasonable downpayment in advance.

Apologies if this comes across as negative: I'm simply trying to suggest that, realistically, a Big Strategic Rethink may actually be more beneficial to you than what you're suggesting, as things stand at the moment? :confused:

Another thing I'd like to point out is that if you're getting into the health niche then it's extremely important that you know your market & know how to pitch an offer which is utterly irresistible. There are some serious heavy weights already present in this category on clickbank therefore you have to give affiliates an extremely good reason to switch & promote you.

I would like to suggest that you think about Kindle.

If all you have is an ebook, then you may find it difficult to make sales and avoid refunds on Clickbank. People are starting to want more than just a book with clickbank - especially when they realize that they can get an ebook over a Amazon a lot cheaper than at clickbank.

Of course it is true that you can sell just an ebook on clickbank - but you will probably find that the people who do that succesfully have a track record and/or lots of money to throw at the problem and/or access to the super affiliates.

I could be wrong as I have no figures to back this up.

Take a look at Kindle, Nook etc - given your resources you would probably make more profit with those than you would with clickbank.

Hope that helps

What do you mean you "have" a high quality health ebook, is it something you wrote yourself, PLR or something you had written?

Quality is one thing, "in-demand" is another.

What I would recommend you do ASAP...

1. Setup a Wordpress Blog on your own domain...
2. Use the free Google Keyword Suggestion Tool to explore the keyword combinations that people will use to search for solutions to the problem your health product addresses
3. Get yourself an autoresponder account (Aweber, 1SC, etc...) and put together a 3-5 part email course or small report that directly targets the same underlying demand as your ebook does
4. Study top sales letters on Clickbank and top websites in other domains to learn the basics of how a sales letter is structured...then put together a very simple (yet professional) sales page on your own.
5. Finally, you'll need a payment processor - that could be Clickbank or Paypal for example

Your action plan should be

1. Get your freebie email course or report put together...load that into your autoresponder - each lesson should provide a practical, usable and relevant tip directly linked with the demand behind your ebook with a link to your ebook sales page to get more information
2. Get your blog operational and post daily with relevant content (tips, opinions, experiences, news related to your topic, etc...) and include a form (created fom within your autoresponder) where people can sign up to your email course or to download your report
3. Get your sales page up - once you have a draft written you can post it here for ctitiques and you are sure to get some decent help (Ideally you could pay a copywriter to review which would be less expensive than a complete greenfield write-up, but there some very intelligent marketers here to)
4. Use Google's Website Optimizer as a free split-testing script to test multiple versions of your sales page - that will help you fine-tune conversions faster
5. In parallel you can approach the potential affiliate list you have with a note as to what you have asking if they would like a review copy and then if they review it and like your ebook, you can typically get them to sign on as an affiliate

Enough of a roadmap for you?

It takes years to master what you are asking (at least for me it did) but you can start on your own to get something up, the key is IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT. Then just keep improving as you go, that's the secret. Now if you can get someone to mentor you that's great but you can start on your own. You can read here, get a WSO (they are affordable) read free stuff and implement. I think the implement is where most people fail they are always learning and not always implementing.

Good luck, you can do it!

If you have no budget for copy I would suggest to start learning. There are some great WSO's that both teach copywriting techniques and also there's one that gives you high converting templates. You might want to start there. The best way to learn is to try and fail. Then learn from your mistakes and try something different.

If money is that tight, why not do paid article writing for a while to build up funds?

Anyone who is offering you web design or copywriting for free, probably isn't very good.

You'll waste more time and money by cheaping out.

Get some funds and do it right.

I've been making money with ClickBank for over a decade.

Personally I learned most of what I know the hard way at first, through trial and error. Now I learn a lot through split-testing, creating new projects, experience, networking, attending events, and just talking with other friends in the industry. I find I learn a lot from people I know and have relationships with because they're most open to sharing, however I learn a lot at events also. In addition, just keeping up on what's going on, analyzing competitors and purchasing their products, going through their sales process can give you a lot of ideas too.

Since you only have $90 I wouldn't even try to take much action at this point. At this point you should be only concerned with creating and formulating a solid step-by-step detailed plan. You need to know your roadmap before you set out on your journey so to speak.

Once you have a solid plan in place, detailed with as many steps as you can foresee, have someone or many people review it. Then at that point you'll know specifically what it will cost and how much funds you'll even need. I see WAY too many people start out on projects only to ditch them because they don't have a plan and they don't know which way to go after a few steps into their plan or they run out of money. Either that or they change direction too foten because they get new ideas on how to do things and 2 years passes and nothing is accomplished.

If you want to do it right and make it successful then you'll need to have your ducks in a row, that means finances as well. Get some prices on your website design, outline your projects so when you have the funds to outsource them you'll already know what you need. Get quotes on web hosting, figure out how you'll do your video and host it (personally I think YouTube is fine). Plan how your video will be created.

So far your plans are nowhere near step-by-step, and you need to figure out each piece one at a time because you're missing a lot still, for example securing your ebook and thank-you page, customizing your checkout page, adding your customers to an autoresponder automatically after purchase, putting yourself in the ClickBank marketplace, how you'll handle customer support requests, etc.

Once you have a FULLLY detailed outline and plan you'll be able to make better decisions at each step of the path. Being able to see your plan in full you'll be able to consolidate the work and save time and money.

Best of luck!!

I suggest also that you try "Pay Per Click" if you want to earn bigger profit efficiently...

For the budget $90,I think you can hang around fiverr,find somebody there to do (design,video etc) for you.

Or,you can browse see what other potential blog/site that same niche as you,contact them and ask for reviewing your ebook.attach yours for their review.I think those blog/site has already have their fans.
