Make Money Through Clickbank Step by Step

I am writing this article to make the people believe that it is possible to make money on the internet with or without spending money. I’ve seen so many people on the Internet that think all “money-making” ideas are scams and they don’t understand that people who has written those articles are making money ALREADY, and all they want to do is to share their “secret” with everyone else. I am not saying that all articles about making money on the net are perfect, but many of them really useful and work for thousands of people who are making money on the net.

So the first thing that you have to remember now, without even starting to do anything, is to understand that you CAN make money online. It’s not a rocket start, it might be difficult in the beginning because you will be new to this business, but you will be alright after you learn what you need to know.

Work hard and you WILL get your desired results.

The method of making money online, that I am going to introduce you is to use an affiliate network called Clickbank (I will explain later on) and different free and paid promotional methods of it to promote your product and finally get the commissions for your sales. There are many other different affiliate networks available, but I choose Clickbank, because it’s the biggest affiliate network on the Internet and it’s really easy to use.

What is Affiliate Marketing?
The online money making business that you are going to do is called Affiliate Marketing. Affiliate marketing – you as an affiliate will promote other people’s products. If a customer follows your affiliate link and purchase a product, you will get a commission. The commission on Clickbank can be as high as 75%.

Where do you find the products to promote?
Affiliate networks, like Clickbank, provide affiliates with thousands of digital products (available to download immediately after the payment). There are other affiliate networks, such as Commission Junction or Linkshare, but here I am going to explain only Clickbank. You simply go to clickbank’s marketplace and look for the product that you are willing to promote.

How do you promote the products?
This is the difficult part of the clickbank business. But if you follow me then you can get success. There are thousands of ways to promote a product, but some of them are really effective, some of them are not. Some of the methods are free and others are paid service. Here I shall tell both the methods of advertising.

How Do You Get Paid?
Clickbank pays the affiliates on every 1st and 16th of every month. Payment is made by check only. Clickbank pays your commissions regularly, and usually there are no delays.

CLICKBAN MARKETPLACE
Here I shall discuss about the clickbank marketplace where you can find the best product to promote for your business.
Go to www.clickbank.com/marketplace.htm
Find the product which you find the best you can promote easily from the marketplace. You just use the keyword of your desired product and select the product. Follow the step by step guide and get the hop link which is the promoting link for your product. Promote low gravity products (under 50) which have very low competition, so they are easy to promote and you can earn the same amount of money without going to the hassle of competition.

Promotion Methods
Now when you have a product to promote and your own affiliate link, where you need to send customers, you need to think about how you are going to promote the product. If you don’t have traffic (Internet users, potential customers), then you will not make money, here are ways to get traffic and each marketer choose a way, that he thinks is easy, or more effective or it’s very popular. I am going to give you the best promotion methods that you can use to get traffic to your affiliate link. Some of them are free, some of them are not. I would recommend you to start with free methods, because you don’t want to waste your money with expensive promotional methods and get nothing out of them, because you may be a new marketer. First you earn some cash on free methods, and when you have some spare money to spend, you can try with paid advertising as well. The problem with free advertising is that you might not get immediate results. You have to be patient. Don’t expect that you will start getting sales on the same day. Don’t forget about competition. Think about how many people out there are doing the same thing as you do. So again, don’t panic when you don’t see quick results.

Keep on trying and you will succeed.

The good thing about paid advertising is that you can get traffic in few hours, depending on your budget. However, you have to be really careful with your money, because you can easily waste your hard earned money away without seeing any results. In my opinion, if you are using paid advertising methods, you should start with low budget and after go higher, when you are confident about your business. Also, very important thing is that you shouldn’t try to do too many things at once. Don’t choose 10 promotion methods and do all of them in the same time. You will get tired and confused, and it will be really difficult for you to manage and track everything. My advice is to choose one promotional method and stick to it for a while. Try to do everything to make that method bring you sales. Don’t do it for 2 days and then move onto another one. You will run out of promotion ideas very quickly and after you will think that nothing works for you. I would say to try using one method until you become an expert in that area, when you feel that you know a lot about that way of promoting. When you start feeling that, I think, you will want to go further with that method, but the problem is that people don’t keep trying the same method for long time, that’s why they don’t know much about what they are doing. So let’s revise and remember what I said.

1. Choose one method of promoting
2. Stick to it for while and try to do everything to make it bring you sales
3. Become an Expert in that area
4. Change the promotion method, if you think that it’s not worth your hard work.

List of Promotion Methods

Now, when you know where and how to find a good product, you need to know how to promote it. There hundreds of ways how to promote products on the Internet, but I will choose only few, because in my opinion they are the most effective ones. Don’t forget to choose one method, and stick to it for a while.

1. PPC (Google Adwords)

www.adwords.google.com
This is the best PPC program that I personally use & recommend. PPC means Pay-Per-Click. This is very popular method of product promotion, but it can be very expensive if you don’t know how to use it. Have you ever heard about Google Adwords? When you type something in Google and then the search results come up, you will notice that there are small ads on the right hand side. These ads are called Sponsored Links. So basically, when you are using Adwords, you want YOUR ads to appear there. In your ads, you will put the information about the product you are promoting, and if someone clicks on your ad, they will be redirected to the publisher’s page (through your hoplink). If the user buys the product, you will receive your commission. Remember, you will have to pay for all clicks you receive, so you will want to have very targeted traffic, which is looking to buy something. PPC is a complicated system, and I think the best way to learn it is to read Google’s Help Centre. You can go to Adwords Learning Centre and learn everything there for free.

2. Bum Marketing (Articles, Blogs)
This method is completely FREE to use. All you have to do here is to write reviews for products and post them to article directories and blogger websites. You will love this method, if you like writing. The key to success here is to write honest reviews, to mention all the benefits and disadvantages of the product in your writing. If you provide the customer with all necessary information, then you will be more likely to convince them to buy the product. I know you want to ask me: “How can I review a product, if I don’t have it?” Look, there are people who have already written many reviews, so you can read them and then create your unique one including everything you have found about a product. This is quite easy and quick to do. First you choose a product on Clickbank that you want to write a review on. Then you do Google search writing the product’s name + review. After you have a ready review, submit your articles to:
www.goarticles.com
www.articlecity.com
www.ezinearticles.com

Create your blog at www.blogger.com Google is the owner of Blogger.com, so these blogs rank high in Google results, when someone searches for a review, which is a big benefit.
Remember! It’s not about how many reviews your write, it’s about HOW your write them.

3. Classified ads
Here you are going to promote Clickbank products posting free or paid classifieds on the suitable websites. Most of the websites are free to post a classified, but some of them offer membership for a small fee, and you will get privileges if you buy it. Everything is pretty simple and straight-forward. First you choose a product, and then you go the pitch page and find the best points of the product. The next step is to create a VERY attractive ad, so people will click on it. Heading is very important, remember that. Most of the products of Clickbank have “Affiliate” section on their website, and they provide the affiliates with suitable tools to promote their product. For example, you can use their email copy or the article to create your ad. Just choose the most eye-catching bits, don’t copy the whole text. This is useful, if you are not able to create an ad looking at the pitch page.

It’s important that you create a unique ad, because it will stand out from the crowd and you will be the only person who is using and making money out of that ad.

You can also write a short review of a product in your ad. So this will be similar to Bum Marketing, but your review should be shorter and less specific. I would not recommend writing reviews for ads, instead, if you like writing reviews you should spend more time on Bum Marketing.

Your ad should be short and clear.
I would suggest to hide your long Clickbank affiliate url using www.tinyurl.com or any other redirect service. It will be shorter and better looking. Below are some free classifieds websites, where you can post your ads. You can always find more websites doing a simple Google search on “free classifieds”.

Be realistic, don’t underestimate yourself.

Internet Marketing might be difficult at first, but nothing is easy at first. Think about people who are already making money on Internet. They started as a newbie, but then they grew up. Be realistic, set up your goals, work hard and you will be there, where you want to be. I hope my guide was useful for you and I believe that you will start making money online very soon.
