Clickbank Help Needed

13 replies
Heres my story,

I just need some spare cash, Im a student so I cannot afford to make huge investments in attracting traffic. Plus I cant build a website as I have no experience in doing this.

I signed up to clickbank 2 months ago and I am yet to make a sale, because I was so desperate to make cash I ended buying an ebook which teaches you how make profit to clickbank. After reading through the book I found out it was a scam, and before I knew it my money was already down the drain.

I followed everyone's tips such as looking at the gravity of the product, buy I still cant make sale. I have opened up a blog and a youtube account. It seems to me that people tend to make more sales when they are based in other countries. I am based in the UK, England and as English Clickbank affiliate I dont think will be possible for me to make sales. Please if anybody can give some tips or help me, i would really appreciate.

    What traffic sources do you actually used?

    For clickbank promotion, I would pick a good overall niche (weight loss, fitness etc), do keyword research, target long tail keyword with less competition, make a youtube videos, optimize it for the long tail keyword and there you go.

    That would be my way of doing it. Even if some long tail have less searches per month, I would try to find buyer keyword with no real competition. That way it would be pretty easy to rank on both Google and Youtube.

    You can find lot of infos online on how to rank videos.

    If they were people telling you that high gravity is a good or encouraging sign, then ignore them completely (including any other "information" the same people might offer you, in case their "information" is all from the Urban Myth School of Internet Marketing).

    Some people do actually believe that nonsense, but if anything the opposite is true, and here are a few posts which explain why ...

    All my experience here leads me to believe, whenever someone says (of ClickBank) "but I still can't make a sale", it's because - one way or another - they're failing on one (or more) of the three essentials of ClickBank affiliate sales, without which there's no real prospect of affiliate income. So naturally, I'm wondering which one(s) of the three you've gone wrong with (I got all three of them wrong, myself, when I first started). Here they are: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7110523

    I genuinely don't begin to understand this perspective, at all.

    Why does it seem to you to be so? How do you know where they live, themselves? The web is international. Why would your own location have any relevance at all, to any affiliate marketing you do online?

    So am I (though not many people know that), but it hasn't stopped me from making my living as a ClickBank affiliate. Why would it?

    I'd start here, really, with the basic, basic, basic stuff. Absolutely no disrespect at all, but I think you're fairly confused about "how the money's actually made", and this may orientate you: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7110523

    Those would normally be very bad niches for a beginning marketer to pick, for ClickBank ffiliate promotions, in my opinion. For all the reasons explained here (and in the other threads linked to inside this post): http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post8561081

    Apologies for sounding so very contrary, Jaudet, but with absolutely no disrespect at all, I could hardly disgree more with the advice you're offering, here. It seems to me to typify the approach of the great majority who "try ClickBank and fail", and in my opinion there are good, valid and reliable reasons for that.

      I clearly still have a long way to go, now that you have explained Gravity I now understand it a little bit better. But when you said that most people failing on one (or more) of the three essentials of ClickBank affiliate sales. Right now till this day, I do not know what the three essentials of ClickBank affiliate sales. Could you explain this to me?

        They're listed in the three "bullet-points" in this post: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7110523

          I was going to recommend that you search for advice through Alexa Smith's posts, but I see she has already answered you in great depth.

          When it comes to Clickbank, she knows what she's talking about. Follow her guidance and you won't go wrong.

          I would also suggest that you stay well away from the WSO section of this forum. Too many people are there offering the next shiny object. You may not succeed with your first attempt, but tweak your headlines, your calls to action, etc., and you will succeed in the end. And think seriously about building a subscriber list. That's where the real money is.

    I think that the first thing you should change is your attitude. Remember that “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.” ― Henry Ford.

    Hope this helps..
    Cheers!

    I would go on forums related to your niche, and read a lot of posts and determine what the main problems people are having, then find a product or service that would help or solve the problem.
    This way you would be zeroing in on targeted buying customers

    I have never had any success with Clickbank either, but I read a forum post which said to stay away from the saturated niches like weight loss and make money online.

    He said to go with very specific health problems.

    Then I watched a YT vid about putting the sales page URL into the google keyword planner to see what keywords the sales page is optimized for.

    The make a video out of the sales page and optimize the video for one or some of those keywords.

    Then do some naughty stuff on the video.

    Thats what I'm working on right now.

      My own feeling is always very much that as long as whatever you do fully satisfies all the three essential fundamentals, then it may be (at least) possible to make ClickBank affiliate income from it. If it doesn't, then certainly "not so much".

      It sounds pretty simple, put that way, but of course "the devil is always in the detail".
