A Few General Ways To Make Money With Clickbank

Getting Started With Clickbank

Clickbank has over 10,000 products to choose to be an affiliate for, so you can definitely find something you want to promote. The hard part may be choosing which one. You don’t have to choose just one, but if you are just getting started with Clickbank, start with one to get the hang of what affiliate marketing is about.

 

There may be several products related to the niche you chose. Later on you may want to create a hoplink with several of them and create a comparison page, but for now pick just one. You can visit the sales page and see which page you would most likely purchase from or you can pick the product that offers the highest commission.

Now you’ve joined Clickbank, picked your product, and got your hoplink, so what next? Now it’s time to start promoting that product to get people to click on your hoplink and hopefully purchase the product so you can bring in the commissions.

The best way to do this is to get your own domain and hosting account. Get a hosting account where you can host unlimited sites for one low monthly fee because you will probably want several websites promoting different Clickbank products.

It’s also possible to promote Clickbank products without spending a cent by creating Squidoo pages, Hub pages, free blogs, or your myspace page. The best way will always be with your own website or blog though and you should supplement your website with the free methods listed above.

Let’s say you chose to promote a dog training e-book. You will need a website or blog with information about dogs. On the front page of your website or the sidebar of your blog, you will put your hoplink so it’s easy for visitors to see and click on. Of course you don’t want them to see your hoplink. You will have text like, “Sick Of Cleaning Up After Your Dog? Train Him To Stop Messing In The House!” And when someone clicks on that text, they will go to the sales page selling the dog training e-book and if they buy it, you get 75% of the purchase.

Here is what that would look like in html: <a href=”http://AFFILIATE.PUBLISHER.hop.clickbank.net“ target=_top>Sick Of Cleaning Up After Your Dog? Train Him To Stop Messing In The House!</a>

Of course “affiliate” will be replaced with your Clickbank nickname, and “Publisher” would be replaced the publisher’s nickname.

You need to write an article telling dog owners why they should buy this dog training e-book with your affiliate link always nearby for them to click on. You can create a Squidoo page on dog training for free in less than a half hour and put in a link to your main dog training website and another link using your hoplink. You can also use your affiliate link on your myspace page. To get traffic to your website, put the website address in the signature line on every forum you post in and your email. You can also write short articles related to dog training, submit the articles to an article directory such as www.ezinearticles.com with your website URL in the resource box.

You can use these same methods over and over again with other niches promoting other Clickbank products. Now you have finished that, start promoting more products.

Let’s say now you choose to get into the parenting niche. Create a website with articles and advice for parents of young children. One page will talk about potty training and have your affiliate link for a potty training e-book. Another page in your website will be on activities for toddlers and it will have a link to a toddler activity e-book. On another page, you will write about how dangerous the internet is for children and promote a safe browser for children. Convince the parents they need this safe internet browser to keep their children safe from all the horrible things online.

Now go to Squidoo and make a separate Squidoo lens for each product you are promoting. Make a potty training lens, a toddler activity lens, and a safe internet browser lens. On each lens put links to your main parenting website, to your other parenting lenses, and to your dog training website as well.

When you are promoting Clickbank products, the best way to get sales is to write good reviews on the products, along with helpful information and tell your website visitors why they should buy this product. You want to have a website with quality information that your visitors are looking for with your hoplink easily available for them to click on to get more information.

There are people making hundreds of dollars a week from Clickbank commissions from articles, websites, blogs, and reviews they put together long time ago. So from some hard work they put in long ago, they are continuing to profit from that and pull in passive income. If you put in the effort, you can be a successful Clickbank affiliate marketer too.
