Hi Warriors!

I have been writing for quite a good time now... I, now, want to promote the affiliate products those found on the clickbank...

My questions is that do I have to have a blog or a website to o the promotion? Or article marketing can fetch in some good traffic?

And also, what types of products are hot to promote. Hot in both the commission and demand.

I appreciated your suggestions =)
Have a good day!

    You don't have to, but you really, really should. Your best bet is to set up a blog with your best articles as the content, and drive traffic to them by submitting all your articles to directories. In your articles that you submitted to the directories, your resource box would point them to you blog or even a squeeze page on your blog. You will want to capture emails with an opt-in, and follow-up with them with an autoresponder series. You could just direct them to your blog and have your affiliate links there and not capture emails, but honestly you will get more sales if you capture emails and follow up.

    Hi there...I'm Emmanuel

    Congrats to your desire to succeed online. There are several resources
    to learn information online, and choose those resources carefully. It's
    quite easy to become "bogged down" with information overload, causing
    acute paralysis by analysis. And that doesn't make anyone any money
    now does it (except for maybe the shrink)?

    The short answer to your question is: no, you do not have to have a
    website or blog in order to "sell stuff online" (ie. you can simply submit
    articles to 'some' article directories that contain your affiliate link
    in them to get paid when your reader buys) but my educated
    guess is that most of our collogues here will recommend you
    do indeed have your own website (for more control).

    Hope that helps,

    -E

      Yeah it definitely did.... How do i get a better control by first getting a visitor to my blog and then making him go to my affiliate page whereas an article will do that directly?? what is the difference?

    You are basically looking at TWO prospects:

    1. Professional blogging - Where you can earn in a lot more ways than just selling CB products...But it sure takes some work!

    2. Article Marketing - or called as bum marketing. Easy and bring in passive revenue over the time but only from the CB affiliate sales...No other venues!

    Now, it's your call!

    You do not need to have your own website to promote clickbank products. You can use free resources such as squidoo or hub pages. Health niche is hot.

      Considering your background in writing, I think it's wise to start off first with article marketing via Squidoo, Hubpages, Ezine Articles, Go Articles, etc.

      Ezine Articles (EZA) has the highest authority, so the chances of your article showing up on the search engines are a little higher, keeping in mind proper SEO and good keyword research.

      If you got he EZA route, you have 3 options, you can only send your link to a top-level domain, i.e. a www.my-site.com not www.my-site.com/clickbankproduct. They won't allow that.

      Here's how to get around that:

      1. You can purchase domain name from Go Daddy, forward and mask your Clickbank affiliate link, write your article, put your new domain name as link in resource box.

      2. You create a landing page for each product you sell. That requires you to get web hosting, a domain name and a wordpress blog.

      3. You create your own blog that reviews all kinds of products.

      Whatever you do, separate you niches. Don't put them together on the same author name or on the same blog. A weight loss blog is about weight loss. A wedding blog is about weddings. Etc.

      Choose what profitable niche that interests you and choose your methods.

      The reason I say go with Article Marketing with EZA is you still need traffic, even to a brand new blog you make.

      So check out all the EZA video tutorials on the blog, the author tools and PDF tutorials. This is all on Ezine Articles's Facebook account as well.

    Basically the clickbank products that are in demand are those that fill in needs, an answer to a problem etc...You dont need a site to be able to earn in Clickbank but it is an advantage.
