I see you are active user in warrior forum and by the time you should know at least how click bank works..

You should know that by now you need to pick a clickbank product and start promoting. I think I know your problem, you are not stick with one product, I think you want to promote plenty of product in the same time.

If you know how to pick a product and make a website than I suggest you to stick with one product for one month and than move to second one.

Basically this is the way to make money from clickbank, by building website and ranking in search engine or building email list or by giving away free offer or promote in facebook.. I hope this helps..

The best thing to do is not get stuck on going from offer to offer. Do a lot of research on this forum and take the best advice (which most is free) and stick with one method. Master that method and don't get distracted. Take action and more action always.

I suggest starting here: http://www.warriorforum.com/make-mon...ms-2012-a.html

Good article with great information.

Here's a blog post I wrote about Clickbank marketing, hopefully it will open your eyes a bit!

Clickbank Tips: How to Make Money with Clickbank | ProsperWithTess.com

To be successful with Clickbank, you will need to believe in your product, use it yourself and be able to honestly promote it to those with a need for a solution. "Soft" selling is best, rather than sending your visitors straight to the vendor's sales page.

First of all I would say ignore all the IM pitches. 99% of them don't even have a clue how to make money other than to sell you a product about making money that doesn't work. If you want to make money with Clickbank or any other type of affiliate/Internet marketing, you can pretty much find all the information you need for free by using the search button at the top of the page. Take it slow and make sure you understand everything and don't go into information overload which is very east to do. There is no magic button, it's a learning curve.

Here is some tips :
- Build on same niche based on review site, so you make a "clickbank semi-authority review site"
- Yes, you ought to know a research keyword, what is suitable to your niche
- Think about to start list building, get your autoresponder, build list on the same niche, this is looked like slow, but it will be your best investment in the future.

Maybe I can add some later.

Find a niche, get a website, create a squeeze page, generate leads, insert your affiliate link into every email (cloaked), then make money. You will need alot of leads though. Whats your traffic strategy like?

The Money Is In The List

Look at all the really big affiliate marketers. Guys like Frank Kern, John Reese, Shoemoney, etc. They all have huge mailing lists. And because they have huge lists, they don’t have to spend hundreds of thousands per month on advertising. John Reese refers to his list as his ATM. He just goes to it whenever he needs to make a withdraw.

If you want to become a big Clickbank affiliate marketer (or blogger), you absolutely need an email list. That is your customer base. Without one, you’ll just be another hit and run affiliate marketer working for peanuts. Stop building other people’s customer base and start building your own.

Making money with clickbank products is the same as anywhere else that you would be promoting products as an affiliate.

Drive traffic to an appropriate offer that converts well.

I know this is a drastic over-simplification, but you need to remember, it's the heart of what selling in IM is all about.

What I would do, is not to worry about the offer yet. I would first focus on building a list in a specific niche. Don't let your list get cold while you're building it, I made that mistake when I first started. Keep sending them helpful tips and links from time to time, don't promote offers on every email.

Once you're list is starting to grow, find products that would be helpful to your list. Don't pick offers on what would make you the most money. Focus on HELPING the people on your list. Picking offers that give your list the most help, is what will make you the most money in the long run.

If you need help getting started with list building, there are plenty of threads on here about it. There are also inexpensive WSO's. If you're a member of the war room, I know I've seen a couple good list building ebooks in there for free.

Good luck!

have you tested out driving paid traffic to various offers? List building and them mailing works well too. Plenty of opportunities, but I would recommend you avoid all the stuff you are getting in your email and just do it.

Affiliate marketing is not just "about hoping someone clicks on it". You need to be pro-active in your approach with everything, otherwise you will get nowhere. The "hoping" someone clicks on it is not pro-active. Hell make some Youtube videos and spend all day using onlywire to syndicate a site to all the social networks. Then start pushing hard on twitter & FB. That's how you get around the "hoping" part... you make them.

Chris,
Keep your head up! Being an affiliate isn't easy it takes planning, prep and tracking. I am wondering how are you getting traffic to you sites? What methods are you using? How big is your list? Who are you selling to! Remember to treat this like your business..... Because this is your business. There are so many ways to create a flow you just have to keep at it and find out what does and doesn't work. Don't get stuck on the not succeeding at this point. Focus on the learning part of it because if you remember what hasn't worked you won't waste time trying it again. There is a way for you to get there. Just keep with it.

What people normally do when promoting a affiliate product is do some keyword research to find a low competition, high traffic keyword, then create a blog and write a 500+ article/review then do some SEO to get it ranked.

That's an overview of how it is done.

Excellent thread! I'm not promoting someone else's product I have an illustrated childrens book and a technical ebook on crowdfunding. I'm going to offer those up for people to promote via clickbank. I figure building a list and providing content is the key.

Different people with different techniques. One technique works for a person doesn't mean that apply to you.

Yet, here's my technique to make money with ClickBank. I do actually not earn much with ClickBank as I am not so comfortable with the majority of the products there but some products are well worth promoting.

- I created a blog based on my interest and experience and gathered audiences through various methods such as engaged through various related forum in my niche, interacted in the question and answer sites, built relationship with bloggers in my niche and did guest blogging, made some valuable comments to the popular articles in my niche, doing article/video/document marketing, as well as SEO and social marketing.

- With qualification and trust from various sources of audiences, I could obtain many visitors as well as increased the list.

- I didn't fond of ClickBank products but some products were ticked me. Because I bought it and read to see if it's valuable enough to pass to my audience, it was really help and gained much success of commission.

Everything won't be working out of the box, so I think you must do some exercises to be able to gain the value from it in this online marketing world.

If you're good at SEO, why don't you use that skill to serve yourself rather than server others. And, just to make sure that you don't just rely on SEO for you only one source of traffic.

There are a lot of different ways to promote links and make money with Clickbank. It would be best if you invest some money into building a website but it's not essential. You could try promoting them on social network sites, although its hard to get good conversions from this. HubPages and Squidoo still works, so you could write an honest, quality review on the product on there and include an affiliate link.
