Going to try ClickBank soon

INTERNET MARKETING

Hey guys, I'm still new to the whole IM thing and I'd like some help. I wasn't sure where to post this topic so this seemed about right to me here. If it happens to be in the wrong section, please do move it.

Anyways I've been thinking about trying out clickbank soon. The reason why is because I want to try new things. I currently work on Fiverr doing forum posting, blog commenting and so on, but it isn't paying so well. I'd like to try something that may be more effective and I hear clickbank is pretty decent.

I just want to know where to start. Do I need to make a site? Or can it be a simple free blog?

How much can I make from it? How much work do I need to put in? Etc. If I can make a decent amount of money I don't mind putting work in, that's for sure. I already do that with the forum posting, haha!

But yeah, I just want to know what I'm dealing with before I get into it.

Thanks!

It can be a simple, free one.

As long as you own and control it, and have it on your own hosting (that can be free hosting, such as Byethost, 000WebHost, Weebly, Yola or Blinkweb). It can be a "site" or a "blog". But don't use Blogger, HubPages, Squidoo or anything else which you yourself don't own and control.

You'll need an opt-in (and an incentive) to offer for people to supply their email addresses.

And you'll need a plan to generate traffic. (Doesn't have to be "by SEO" - that's just one way).

For "the bare basics of selling ClickBank products" this post (and the one linked to inside it) might give you somwhere to start from, anyway.

  I'm sure the OP will welcome such a positive, constructive thought, Rich. :rolleyes:
  
  Many of us (as we explained in some detail in your own thread, recently) promote a wide variety of ClickBank products with a negligible refund-rate. It depends what you sell and how you sell it, surprise surprise. I sell 500 ClickBank products per month and can't remember the last refund.
  
  Thanks

Do a search for Bum Marketing.

Basically it means promoting affiliate offers without owning your own website.

You write articles and put your affiliate link in the resource box.
Set up free blogs on web 2.0 properties.. put your affiliate link where ever you can.

Its a good theory, and I believe that some people make money like this with clickbank but I wouldn't try it.

If you have a limited budget, best getting a domain and some cheap hosting, set up a wordpress blog, get lots of backlinks to it and post lots of content regularly.

Product reviews go down well.

Remember that you don't have to create sales pages, you are just warming your visitors up so that the vendor can make the sale.

I think the best way to promote ClickBank products is to test the product first. If the consumers found your promotion very helpful, you'll be making a following and on your next product they will buy it. When I recently joined ClickBank, I understand why there are Warriors said that there are refund issues. It maybe because the promotion and the product is ill-conceived or just fraudulently made. So we should be careful on promoting products, we might end up jumping from one niche product to another.
