Promoting clickbank products

by flippydippy
11 replies
hey everyone,

Im a college student who loves to travel so i thought the best way to sustain myself was to make money online since i can do it anywhere in the world.

I would like to set up websites and sell clickbank products, but im not sure what the best set up is.

A fellow warrior built "body building diet advice dot com" for me and i wanted to know if i should follow this blueprint with all the other products.

Is it best to make a site and put articles on the and have the product on the site? or should there be more focus on the product?

My question is mainly about the set up of the website.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank You

    In the past I have setup Wordpress sites specific to a certain product. I'll write articles that are related to the niche and tie in the importance of this particular product and how it can help towards the end of the article. Have a widget banner somewhere on the site. Write some great content (depends on competition but you need at least 4-5 well written articles), build a few powerful inks, and depending on what keyword you are wanting to rank for you should do good with this strategy. I normally try to target the 1k-10k exact match keywords.

    After 3 or 4 months of consistent earnings you can sell the site on Flippa for 6-10 months worth of revenue.

    Stop wasting time. Just do it!

    More focus on the product by promoting it in the footer of each blog post will help to increase your income. Collecting leads and building a list is also a good idea. Try offering a free report to your visitors which is related to the product that you're promoting (you can promote the product in the report as well).

    Also, I noticed that all of the videos play at the same time when you visit the 'Body Building Videos' page. The auto-play feature needs to be disabled for each video on that page.

      Should i create this free report or find one?

        Definitely create it.

        It needs to be designed specifically to fulfil the purposes set out in this post: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7647187 The open-rate of the email series you send after it depends on it fulfilling those purposes, and your income depends on the open-rate for your emails.

    I'm not sure there is necessarily one "best" set-up, because different people have different skills and approaches that might work for them, but there are certainly a few little features which all the good set-ups have in common, and here they are: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post7110523

    No ... there should be more focus on you, and your subscriber-list, and your own credibility as a provider of valuable information, and the valuable incentive you offer your visitors to subscribe, and the relationships you build with your subscribers.

    Very few people buy products like those the first time they see the sales page, so you have to have a way of keeping them returning to the sales page, with the relationships you build with them by email marketing. That means keeping some of your traffic rather than losing all the people who don't immediately buy. And that means list-building. It's what all your successful competitors are doing, and if you're not going to do it, you're going to be putting yourself under a huge handicap.

    Sorry that you won't like my answer much, then, but inevitably "the set-up of the website" isn't actually going to make very much difference to you, without opting in your traffic and list-building. Especially in this niche.

    This is just "the way it is". Sorry, but this is what you need to hear, so you'll have a chance to stop thinking about website design with regard to the products you're promoting, and start appreciating that the primary purpose of your website needs to be to build your list, and that for the type of products you're promoting there, regarding "website design" it really is about as simple as that.

    There are a few hundred threads in this forum with titles like "What's The One Thing You'd Do Differently If You Were Starting Again Tomorrow?". Take a look through a small sample of them, and you'll find that one of the things they all have in common is that they're full of replies from long-established, successful Warriors almost all of whom give the same answer: the thing they'd do differently, with what they know now but didn't know when they started, is "start to build a list on day 1". There are reasons for that.

      I'll check that out, thanks

      This seems to come up more and more, i will begin list building.
      Does this mean i should stick with one niche for now until i get a grip of things?

      Fantastic advice, i get distracted quite a bit and bounce around. I'll focus on list building and have a following so i can show them things every time i have something new.

      It won't be spamming right? I'll be casual and say "check out this new product i have" somewhere in there.

        I think so, probably, at least until you have the first one up and running, with a suitable "free download" ready and some emails in the autoresponder series automated and going out to the subscribers.

        It depends a little on how much time you have available.

        I have started off two niches at the same time, and that's possible, but I wouldn't advise anyone to try more than two at once. It becomes much easier to "add a new one" at intervals, one at a time. The income curve is non-linear: in the early stages of a niche, as an affiliate, you inevitably put in the most work for the least income, and you wouldn't want to be doing that for lots of niches all at once - it would make it really hard to get each one "off the ground" (you can think of it as "long runway syndrome" for the jet to take off, in each case!).

        The two products you're promoting there don't seem to have vendors' opt-ins on their sales pages, which is probably a good start.

        Here are some "suggested ClickBank product selection criteria for affiliates", if they help at some point in future: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post2161932

        And good luck!

            Affiliate marketing is good place to start. Finding the right product is the challenge. If you pick a product that has higher competition, it will be little hard.

            Good new is learnig curve is not that high, you can learn it fast as long as you put the right effort and practice daily basis.

            Good luck with your plans!
