Getting My Dog Training Site On Clickbank Off The Ground

A realistic, targeted traffic-generation plan. (Preferably a non-SEO-based one, because search-engine visitors very rarely buy ClickBank products, as you're doubtless starting to appreciate).

Don't imagine that simply "offering your product on ClickBank" will produce sales, or attract affiliates, at all.

Post #9 of this thread might interest/help you. It's primarily addressing affiliates, rather than vendors like yourself, but two of its three main points apply equally to yourself and even the third (actually the first, in the order they're set out there) is relevant to you, if you want eventually to be able to attract affiliates, naturally after successfully establishing proven conversions of targeted traffic.

.

I'd suggest paid traffic. How about Google AdWords?

No matter how high-end product you have created, if you are not showing it to the right people, you will get lost. Internet is really vast, so don't expect things to happen on autopilot and for free.

Try searching for affiliates hiring/recruiting websites

You want to start promoting your offer on pay per click. You can't just let it sit there.

Try all sorts of marketing avenues online and offline and then see what works and what doesn't. You have got to test as many places as possible.

I too created a dog-training Ebook some years ago, following a particular IM method I'd bought. The method itself didn't work (I was used as the example on the forum for that method, by the seller, of "how to do the method perfectly" and I got one single sale in 3 years, which is less income than domain and hosting cost), but some time later some kind person here (on a thread about how you can make much better money using article writing skills to create and sell products, than by writing articles for other people), recommended that I try it on JVZoo, which I did, and now get a sale or two per month.

It takes little time and no money to put the product up on JVZoo, so in the long-term it is likely to be worth doing. I know that's not the ultimate answer to your question, but I hope it helps a little

To get more sales, one thing that will work 100% is to get your gravity up. Before anyone jumps in and starts telling me "oh gravity is not useful it means nothing blah blah blah" I'll say this.

Gravity is important, for the vendor especially. Affiliates are always going to promote products with higher gravity. Most affiliate marketers will just pick the first product with high gravity in there niche. So even if the product is crap, its still gonna be the one getting the most sales (unless you have high traffic and a large email list yourself).

So to get the gravity up, here is something that will work if you contact enough people and write enough articles (good articles).

Write about 10 articles that are directly related to your product, so this would be dog training. You should include a "plug" someone in the middle of the article, but dont oversell it. Basically pretend your Graham Norton interviewing Bradd Pitt. You talk about what the audience wants to here about for the majority of the time, but you need to fit in a mention of Brads upcoming movie/book/dog training guide (?!)/ etc.

Next, you contact blogs that have a decent following in your niche. Look for comments etc and social shares on posts. If the blog has interaction then its doing okay. Contact the owner of the blog. Explain you're trying to get your gravity up. Say you have written a good article, and you will give it to them, if they use there own affiliate link to promote the product in the article. So they are making money. You dont ask for links back to your site or anything, just make it an awesome gift for them and they cant really refuse (if they reply of course)

So hopefully you can get 10 different websites to publish your articles with there own affiliate links. When they do, hopefully at least one of there readers will buy the product, and your gravity goes up by one. W00P.

Once you hit about 10 or 20 gravity, depending in your niche, that will be enough to naturally gather affiliates and it's almost plain sailing from there.

Hope I helped, Clickbank can be tricky for a noob.

I would look at running a PPC campaign to drive traffic or alternatively make use of solo ads, which you can buy here at WF from reputable providers.

I believe I saw an earlier post of yours, but not sure if this is the same person. My advice back then was to create videos on you tube with examples of dog training and start getting some exposure. Most people have dogs and they are interested in training videos so there you go. Creating a video does not take a lot of time or cost a lot of money. All we can do is hope for the best and keep trying new avenues.

Affiliates .. Affiliates ... Affiliates

1. Make sure that your copy and ebook don't contain typos. This will turn affilaites off.

2. Reach out to affiliates. Find them on the forums they hang out on.

3. Google AdWords is your best friend here. You have to spend money to make money. Don't try to advertise info products on Facebook, though.
