Simple Steps To Start Earning With Clickbank

48 replies
hey warriors,

hope everyone is having a great day.

It has been a long time since I start a post and so I want to give a few tips to help "someone" make some money online. I have gotten so much from this forum and would like to make a contribution.

I know it may not be the best but I sure hope it helps someone.

Here Goes:

Step #1- Hop over to Clickbank and sign up for and account if you don't already have one.


Step #2- Go to Clickbank Market Place and browse around for some product that you would want to promote. Don't bother to worry about competition or any of those things just yet. You can browse the different categories to find good quality product. These product should solve the problems that people may have. That way you are sure they will sell. For that reason I always suggest that people look in the health and fitness categories first as there will always be people looking for solutions in that niche.


Step #3- Select 5 products that fits the following critera:


  • 1. Amount you get per sale must be over $20- anything less may not be profitable for you.
  • 2. Has a decent sales page- Read it and see if it convinces you to buy. It wouldn't make sense to send traffic to a sales page that doesn't convert!
  • 3. Has a %refered above 60%- This means that other affiliates are promoting the product and making sales.
Step #4- Select your top two Products that you want to focus your efforts on based on the above criteria.


Step #5- Go to theGoogle Keyword tool. We are going to see what terms people are searching for with problems that the products caters for. So once you are at the keyword tool type in a a phrase that you think someone will search for. For example if your product is a weight loss product, you may type in "weight loss" or "fat loss" etc.


Step #6 - Exact from the drop down tab in the keyword tool on the right. This will give you the exact number of searches per month.


Step #7- Look for search terms three words or more with more than 200 searches per month. Copy as much as possible to a notepad file. The more the better!


Step #8- Go to Google and do a seach for all the keywords you just copied individually and in quotes. For example if one of your keywords was how to lose weight then you would search for "how to lose weight". Lookt at the amount of results that are returned for the searches. Drop any keyword that return more than 20,000 results when you search in quotes.


Step #9- Now you need to set up your pesell page for your products. Go to the sales page and read it then construct your presell page around the benefits of having the product. You can even use a story and relate to your prospects. If you have a domain name and hosting, you can upload your presell page. However, if you don't have a website you can use the free blogger to set up your presell page.


Step #10- Now that you have your presell page that are promoting your products, you need to get it in front of your prospects. In other word, you need a lot of targeted traffic. So using all the keywords you have found (which should be alot) spend some time writing an article on each of these keywords. Make sure that the keywords are in the title of the article and throughout the article a few times. (1-3 times for a 250 words article)


If you are promoting 2 products then a suggest you write at least 2 articles per day for each of the products and submit them to ezine articles with a link pointing back to your presell page in your author resource box. Once your articles are approved on EZA you can submit them to other article directories. Bookmark them and also ping them.


If you have chosen good products and write a good presell and quality articles then after a few articles you should see some of those blue and grey bars in your clickbank account.


Hope this help someone.


Have a great weekend.

      Excellent tutorial yesacpow1
      If I may ask a question..
      I understand the
      Has a %refered above 60%
      part. Should I take into consideration "Future $" or anything else when comparing products?
      {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[707634].message }}
      • Profile picture of the author yesacpow
        If there is a future then that is an added bonus as that means that the product is a rebill product. Which means you will get a recurring income unless customers cancel.

        on the other hand it can be someone offering a trial payment for thier product. so the customer pay a small amount then they are rebuild the balance after the trial period has ended.

        So to answer question you don't need to worry too much about "future"

    What you say about niche selection is very good advice. Too many beginners think they must go for gravity over 100 which is ridiculous. All it guarantees you is a lot of competition on keywords.

    I hope that someone will be able to help me or offer some advice.

    Quick Questions:
    1. Is Clickbank 100% trustworthy
    2. Has anyone ever used this ezine for a solo ad...successful marketing "admistress"? If so, how did they work for you?
    3. When using a site like snipurl.com to "snip" and track your visits when affilate marketing...can this cause a clickbank hoplink to be "deactivated"?

    Thanks!

    Great post. it practically sums up everything on how to earn with affiliate marketing with click bank, however, I would like to add that people shouldn't over spend for promotions.

    Just pay for cheap hosting, geta decent sales page, maybe pay for a little bit of PPC advertising, and thats all the expenses!

    The rest of the targeted traffic, you can get from forums, communities, and groups for free. Don't fall in for traffic exchanges, they won't help at all fyi.

    Your instructions are very clear and to the point, and sound to boot. Good job!

    hey Casey, I read your niche/ clickbank ebook. EXCELLENT INFO! I'm taking action and writing this in the meantime.

    I realized in your ebook that everything is free that you show to use. However, I do have a little money and I see the potential here. I was wondering if you can throw me some techniques that cost some money, but are beneficial. I know ppc is the best, but I want to build up some money first and learn this whole process before I start really going full throttle.

    Again, thanks for the free ebook. I finally found something worth doing. I know it'll take work and time, but I'm willing to do it.

      Hey thanks for downloading my book I am very glad you liked it.

      With regards to spending money- I recomend you

      1. get a domain name after you find your niche as well as a good hosting service.

      2. Get a auto-responder service (getresponder or aweber are the best)

      3. Set up a simple squeeze page for your niche

      4. Write a short report (you can rewrite artices for this or you can pay someone to do it)

      5. Drive traffic to your squeeze page.

      6. Communicate with those who sign up to your list

      7. Send them product they can buy

      8. rinse and repeat in a new niche

      hope that helps-

    alright excellent, I'll start building it. Also, not now, but in the near future...that commission blueprint I saw along w/ your ebook...is it worth buying for a newbie? Again, I'm willing to put in the work, but don't have too much spending money as of now, but for later do you think it's worth it?

    I'm looking to explode with something online. All I need is the right strategy and to be pointed in the right direction. That's all! I realized nothing is easy online and I want to put in the work. If this commission blueprint is what I need to point me in the right direction, then I will be ready to work.

      Do something in the mean time and you just might crack a code somewhere.

      What I mean is time is money, reading alone wont get it to you but if you do something then that is different!

    OK. I'll do something! (It's amazing what a person will do when some one tells them to.) I'm really close to getting my domain name selected & registered.

    But seriously, I actually do have a quick question. In step #10, you mention having "lots" of good keywords to start writing articles for. I've started to find some excellent prospects but my question is, how many is "lots"? 25, 100, 1000?

    Thanks to your info, the fog is really starting to clear regarding where I want to go with my IM efforts. Thanks also the WF in general. I think if a person is going to be serious about IM, this is the premier forum to be a member. My learning curve has gone way up since I started here.

      The real tru answer to your question would be as much as possible. That means if you can get 1000 then go for it.

      However for starters, I recommend you write at least 3 articles per day. The more the better.

      If after 30 articles you don't have no sales then you need to stop and check something because that would mean that you are not doing something right.

      I recommend you check out this post to perform your keyword research:

    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[763616].message }}
  • Also well appreciated--the OP explains this very well and keeps it simple. This is a strategy I always see people talking about but they kind of just glean over the details because it probably seems like common knowledge to those who are already entrenched in Internet marketing. I suggest adding this to the sticky for newbies. Thanks! :-)
