Detailed instructions on how I made $50 within 2 days being a Clickbank Affiliate.

really good idea, thanks for this. You could even make the page a bit more user friendly and it would increase sales. You could also randomize the list.

Cool man - I'll have to work on coming up with ideas like this. Lately I have just been working on my review sites...this could definitely come in handy.

Thanks!

That is awesome. I have never dared to do something like this without at least doing some type of comparison and "this is the best one" and giving them star ratings or something. But this shows how simple it really is. Of course testing between the two would be in order later, but the fact that I'd never considered just making a simple list is surprising to me.

Great method!

You should try adding some backlinks like those in the package from Angela E. and I bet you'd get good SE traffic as well...

my method making money with clickbank:

I have some "established" sites (WP blogs) which revolve around a certain theme, say "natural remedies" - this is the overall theme. This are mostly really good looking autoblogs, but i also mix in unique content once in a while.

I go on clickbank or ebengine.com and look at the stats of products, in this case i would check remedies and cures.
( I also get input from places like webmaster forums - sometimes fellow marketers drop some hints here and there what goes well for them!!)

I then do keyword research to get a ROUGH idea about search volume and competition for products/keywords. Some products/terms are easy to rank, cheap to bid on - others are not.

On the blog(s) i make review pages which talk about certain clickbank (and now CPA) products and where recommend them - in a VERY personal and credible way. No "hype" and now marketing blah blah. All pretty legit, away from the usual hyped IM way to do it.

I hire someone to write me articles and i use those with keywords for anchor links, linking back to those pages on the blogs. Part of the articles goes on EZA et al..others i use and put on the sites.

SOME sites/blogs are even more specific - some blogs are revolving around a single, very specific condition. So..instead of "natural remedies" which can have a whole bunch of different products featured i can have one site about..say...hemorrhoids.

Same here...articles...

I make squidoo lenses (now: let them make)...linking back to my sites.

I do Adwords PPC, using the review pages as landing pages - and some of my more spceific blogs actually reached #1 in Google - in fact my main clickbank income is now almost all organic search results form the #1 position for this keyword.

On those #1 ranke(d) sites i have my reviews....but i also made custom banners featuring the clickbank product(s). I make custom banners because 99% of the ones the vendors provide are BAD.

(In my marketing, in the reviews and banners i very much emphasize and use words like Guarantee, Try Out, 100% Risk Free...taking advantage of the fact that CB has this refund policy which ESSENTIALLY makes any product a trial. "If you are not 100% satisfied, dont worry because they have a money back guarantee" <-- things like that. "Try it for free, if you dont like the results you can get your money back".

Sometimes i know beforehand it might be almost impossible to rank sites, say for "weight loss" or things like that.....but some niches/products are easy. Just look on clickbank and avoid what everyone and their mama is already promoting.

Clickbank and PPC is VERY tough....so my ultimate goal is to get organic results..basically money coming in for free.

Dude, that's actually a great idea. I just checked out your site and there are no lies or false promises. What an interesting way to change things up.

I wish you more success in the future.

A little more graphics on your page will be good. And, good thinking.

Wow! This is brilliant! Could you keep us posted as to how your sales are coming along? Also, it looks like you used a static front page on your wordpress blog, correct?

Good stuff. While I don't use this exact formula, I do use some of the same principles. What I try to do when writing up reviews for a product is to include a good amount of factual information about the product as well as what it is all about.

By providing some background knowledge for a product you will come across as an "authority" figure and therefore are more likely to gain the trust of your visitors. Coming across as an "authority" source for information who is merely reporting on the facts while sprinkling in a tad bit of opinion is going to work a lot better than a full blown promotion in most cases (at least in my experience).

And this is exactly what I am working on right now. I am currently working on a review for a weight loss product on ClickBank which starts off with the facts and then leads into my opinion.

Frickin AWESOME man! Way to go!

I agree that with a different design layout you might even make MORE!

It's kinda like the "reality TV" craze...people got tired of watching the Cosby's because it just wasn't real enough compared to most peoples lives. Even so, the craze for that sort of thing was HUGE and formulas were developed around it... who would have known that one day the world would quit responding to the hype and start demanding "reality"?

Great work!

How much PPC did it cost to make that $50. BTW?

Hey runfast, any sample Adwords text you'd like to share? So far, the only one I've found for you is this:

Government Auction Secret
Secret site tells you everything
you need to buy a police seized car
paidsurveys-secrets.com/government

which goes to your government auctions site.

I'll look for the PM, I'm interested in seeing how you're approaching Adwords for this type of site.

That's a good tips to have. But what have you done is very much necessary to do in internet marketing. Fact is without these earning will be hard one to get. The best you have done is by not mentioning the good one.

Well, it took me most of the day to get it done, but I just finished a site of my own doing this.

I had an old MFA site that was not making my any money. I decided last year to do something else with it. I kept putting it off into the "I'll get to it someday" corner. I saw this thread the other day and started thinking about testing this.

So last night I decided to take that old MFA site and try this with it. So I took a theme I like and did some major tweaks to the code and finally got it finished. I never did much to promote the site, but I get about 60 visitors a month to it anyway. So now I'm going to throw some paid traffic at it and test it. If it generates some decent numbers, I'll build some organic traffic centers to it.

The site is CreditTipExperts.com.

Thanks for the idea Run. I'll post some initial results in about a week.

Mike

How is it running now? What was the profit out of the $50?

Good idea. Thanks for sharing!

Hi,

Great idea. Thank you for sharing so much. In return for your openness here are some ideas for you.

Why not convert to a free membership site with details of genuine paid survey opportunities? Visitors more likely to come back and you can capture their email details. You could continue to recruit via adwords or, alternatively, why not set up your own CPA campaign and get an an army of affiliates building your list of members for you?

Great news that Adwords is profitable. Have your tried scaling? Try setting up a PPV campaign - cost per click is going to be much cheaper.

Would also suggest that you look at some of the CPA survey offers and consider adding these to your site. These just require an email submit and therefore convert pretty well. The sales page is also better than some of the dodgy Clickbank products!

Good luck.

Andy

Thanks for sharing your great idea. I've just started working at promoting Clickbank products, but had the same tension about how to sell things I wasn't sure about. This is a simple, direct way to solve people's need for information in one place, easily accessible - and, best of all, you can make money in the process!

Best wishes!

Great info. I have enjoyed some success by summarizing the seller's sales page instead of writing reviews that most people don't believe or trust. I have been using offers from CJ instead of Clickbank.
Thanks --- Frank

Great job and thanks for showing the actual site.

I do really well with the simple approach like that too - even a simple domain redirect or frame to a converting offer has made me some good money.

The only problem is that this tactic does not build a list. When I try to go to build a list, I get overwhelmed with all the work involved.

It's interesting that you didn't give your own opinion on the products, just listed info from the product pages themselves.

What is your ROI like? How much did you have to spend in AdWords to make the $50? Sorry if you already answered this question... I didn't see it in this thread.

Best,
Raza

Hey great job on taking action...

There seems to be a slight contradiction on your site and this thread. You claim to just state the facts and yet on the site you say these aren't the scams...I don't wanna rain on your parade but that's probably something you want to fix.

Great job taking action!

Cheers,

Brad Spencer

Thats really short and sweet!!
But are you sure it works with all campaigns?
If not, then what type of campaigns should i choose?

Everyone's been asking how I'm doing on this Site. So far I've had several sales. The ROI is messed up because I did not have my Content Match turned off.
My goal is to do lots of link building to this site. I will also create a separate article/page of each Survey Site. All of these will link back to this page in one form or another.
I also want to create a List so whoever comes to this site will be updated of new Paid Survey Sites.
It will take a long time to build but I'm looking for passive income NOT get-rich-quick.
