    The Beginner’s Guide to Using Clickbank

    Written by lieguy on Thursday, March 5th, 2009 in Click Bank.

    There are a number of reasons why I like the concept of an affiliate program.

    I have been using various affiliate systems for several years now and it has been one of my best business decisions. The best part about using an affiliate system is that I don’t have to handle, store or process inventory and someone else takes the orders!

    My only job when selling as an affiliate is to drive online traffic to that merchant.

    The Clickbank Marketplace is a huge repository, or digital “wharehouse” for products, which are then “sold” to customers, all without you (the publisher) having to be involved in the sales transaction process!

    You can make money by becoming an affiliate for digital products, which you can offer for sale on your website or to your customers. You can sign up as an affiliate through the various affiliate systems. It’s fast, easy and free to become a bonafide sales affiliate.

    Another way to make money is to sell your own digital product through companies like ClickBank. If you have an e-book, software or report in digital format, it’s easy to sell it at Clickbank. They call this being a “merchant” and you can sell up to 50 different downloadable products with a single account.

    You may also use Clickbank for your merchant account gateway. If your product is downloadable (such as electronic books or software), this may be an excellent solution for you. For a $49.95 initial fee, you can process credit cards right on your website for $1.00 per transaction plus 7.5% of the sale.

    To become a merchant costs less than $50, rather than the hundreds of dollars it often takes to set up your own merchant account. Imagine, no credit card transaction hassles! Once you list your own products for sale, you set the commission to be paid per sale, usually between 50-75%.

    Once you become a Clickbank merchant (vendor), you instantly have a large pool of affiliates wanting to sell your product for a commission. Gone are the days of looking for affiliates, let Clickbank do it for you. If affiliates are receiving commissions from selling your product that means YOU are making money as well. The best thing about this is that you can choose exactly what level of commission you want your affiliates to receive.

    I sell many products online, my own products and others’ products as an affiliate. I like the big affiliate systems (rather than directly negotiating with smaller companies) because I never have to worry about getting paid, or whether the vendor is cheating me out of my commissions. Every two weeks, Clickbank automatically sends me a check. What could be better than that?

    The Clickbank Marketplace also offers a huge inventory and is growing daily. It’s already got about 50,000 products listed and 100,000 affiliates who are ready to sell your products. So, whatever interests you, scroll through their listings and I’m sure you will find something to promote.

    If you are considering launching your first digital product like an ebook or software, affiliate marketing is a great place to get started.

    Finding E-Book Content Ideas Using Free Tools

    Written by ScottBoyd_10 on Friday, February 27th, 2009 in Click Bank.

    Once you know your niche market you will need to create enough content for your book. Hopefully much of that content exists in your head already, but if you need more content there are many great tools that you can use to help you.

    EZINE ARTICLES

    Go to EzineArticles and type in your keywords and review the articles that are returned at the top of the search results. Look at the keywords that the article is targeting and also what the article content is. What is the problem that it is providing a solution to? At the bottom of the article EzineArticles will list the top viewed articles in the category most related to your keyword that you searched for. These articles should be reviewed and analyzed as they are obviously providing readers with the information they need. Make a list of all the topics covered and from that list you will be able to create an index of topics in high demand by consumers. You can also check out the level of competition by reviewing the websites where the author is linking to in the resource box.

    YAHOO ANSWERS

    Go to Yahoo Answers and search for your keywords. Take note of the questions/needs/problems posters are looking for a solution to. This is a great way to refine your understanding of the problem that you will need to solve to generate sales. Record the questions your market is asking as these will provide you with topics for the articles that you will write about and submit to article directories after the launch of your eBook.

    FORUMS

    Go to forums related to your eBook topic and take notice of the most popular forum topics and threads. Consider including information in your eBook to appeal to these forum posters. Investigate the longest threads with the most passionate responses. This is where you can find a ton of content ideas to attract a large market of buyers. If your topic is technical, you can find many gems of information that would add great value to your eBook. Many people that buy your book will be pleased with the purchase if they find a few nuggets of information that help them.

    AMAZON

    Go to Amazon and research the topic selling books on your topic. Use the “Look Inside” feature to scan the index to get a feel for the content provided in the book. You can also purchase the books to further increase your knowledge of the topic before you start writing. The more you know about a topic the easier the words flow while typing. If you already wrote your eBook, you can still add nuggets of information learned at a later date.

    CLICKBANK

    Purchase the leading products in ClickBank and review their content. This is your competition, and if you aren’t a big name internet marketer, your goal is to provide a better and more valuable product. Offering a better product than the leaders will give you an opportunity to break into internet marketing quickly by building a reputation for quality products, which will lead to many affiliates and joint venture partners.

    Ways To Generate Internet Income Fast Using Clickbank Products

    Written by Nugu on Thursday, February 26th, 2009 in Click Bank.

    A quick way to generate internet income is to start your own internet business and sell products online. One way to do that is to offer information products that solve problems. Here is a quick way you can do that.

    Are you familiar with Clickbank? Not only are they the world’s largest digital information provider but they also offer a free affiliate program you can join and choose your own unique I.D. number or nickname as it is sometimes referred to.

    The really great thing with Clickbank is with one I.D. number you can begin selling thousands of products in just a couple minutes after you join. Every product available on Clickbank contains what is called a hop link and you just need to insert your ID number and that becomes the url that you can start promoting.

    This makes it possible for you to generate internet income selling products in multiple niches. For example you could find a weight loss ebook that you wanted to sell, insert your click bank ID number into your website URL, and start promoting it.

    Because these digital information products can be downloaded and accessed instantly many of them offer commission rates of as high as 75%. Once you begin making sales this gives you a chance to generate internet income at a very high hourly rate.

    When selling ClickBank products there are many things to keep in mind.

    1. One thing that is important is you follow a proven success system to selling these products. Most successful affiliates will tell you the way to do that is to create a review page or a pre sales page of your own.

    The traffic you generate will then land on these pages first before being directed through to your sales page. This allows you to warm your prospect up and help get them into a buying mood.

    2. Another thing you should do is put a sign-up form to a newsletter on your review page or pre sales page. By doing this you will be building a mailing list allowing you to not only follow-up but enabling you to continue to promote the ClickBank affiliate products. This makes sense because many prospects need multiple exposures to a product before they will actually purchase it.

    3. One really important point I want to stress is that you need to develop at least one way of generating targeted traffic to your website. The only way you will ever make any sales is if you have plenty of website visitors, whether you choose to do article marketing, social media marketing, pay per click advertising, blogging or other ways.

    Because of all the fantastic products that are made available for you to begin selling right away, you can see why this is a quick way to generate internet income.

    Learning How To Make Money Online With Clickbank

    Written by mfleischner on Tuesday, January 27th, 2009 in Click Bank.

    Have you ever heard of affiliate marketing? More and more individuals are learning about making a living online with the help of Clickbank, Paydotcom, Commission Junction, and other affiliate marketplaces. In this article I’ll be providing an overview of Clickbank as well as an understanding of how to use it to dominate affiliate marketing.

    Clickbank is an affiliate marketplace that brings together product and service manufacturers (publishers) with website owners who wish to sell products and earn a commission. In fact, this is how many affiliate networks function, allowing individuals to find merchandise that is appropriate for their target audience. The reason that affiliate sites have become so popular is because of their ease of use and the promise of making large commissions. Using Clickbank is like earning a bonus every time you sell someone elses product.

    Once you’ve decided that you want to sell a product online, the task of finding the right partners and resellers can be a significant challenge. That’s why affiliate markets and other sites have created a marketplace that brings together those with products that need to be sold with eager resellers who want to sell them.

    Setting up an account with Clickbank is easy requiring a simple registration. If you plan to publish a product and have others sell it for you then you must complete a registration, a promotional page for resellers to point prospective buyers to, and a confirmation page that includes a small snippet of Clickbank specific code, allowing conversions to be tracked properly.

    Once you’ve registered with the site and uploaded the necessary information that describes your product, your product becomes listed in the marketplace section. The next step is for website owners to search out your product and create a hoplink for their website. This allows them to being selling your product immediately.

    A hoplink is established for every product sold. This link contains special code, including a resellers Clickbank id. When resellers place this link on their website or blog, it redirects prospective customers to the landing page that a manufacturer has created. When consumers purchase their product the service registers a sale providing the seller his fee as well as the reseller (affiliate). In essence, each time that a reseller sells a product, he is earning a commission.

    If you are looking for products to sell, simply visit the one of the before mentioned affiliate marketplaces and search by category. You can find which products are being sold by other resellers, their popularity, and gravity. Gravity is a special value that Clickbank places on affiliate products developed by weighting the quantity of sales, frequency, and recentness of latest sale. The exact formula is unknown, but using this value to find hot selling products is essential.

    In addition to offering a reseller link for thousands of products for which you can earn a commission, many publishers are offering links to valuable selling tools. What is becoming more common where publishers are providing an additional destination for resellers to find advertising banners, buttons, and graphics as well as promotional emails and web copy. This is making affiliate marketing easier than ever.

    If you’re new to affiliate marketing or are interested in getting started making money online, Clickbank offers a robust marketplace that allows you to easily find products to sell. If you are a publisher or manufacturer of a product or service that you want to sell online, use an affiliate network begin promoting your product and dominating the competition.

    Clickbank Top Sellers - How To Go About Selecting The Right Product

    Written by Mysterio on Monday, January 5th, 2009 in Click Bank.

    Most of the affiliate marketers have a big problem in selecting a clickbank top seller. If you’re one of them, don’t make the blunder of entering just any page, selecting any random product, and then hoping for the best. Miracles do happen, but even they have to be planned a little in advance.

    What would happen if you spent money advertising a particular product, and then come to find out that it’s not the latest version, or it’s not interesting enough? To avoid such disappointments, be prepared to take some time in selecting the right product.

    Steps In Selecting The Top Selling Products:

    The first thing in selecting a clickbank top seller, is that you must determine what category you’ll be comfortable in marketing. Not all products and all categories are made for everyone. Select a product from the list of categories of which you have some prior knowledge. For example, if you’re interested in spiritual reading and know a lot about spirituality, then you might decide to market e-books on the same topic.

    The next thing to consider is the gravity. Once you’ve chosen the category, go to the product list and choose a high gravity product. A high gravity indicates that the product is good and popular. It’ll get re-sorted with the products with highest gravity being placed on top. You may not select the highest gravity product, but all products in this bracket are good. A gravity of between 50 to 120 is considered good.

    The next step will be to look into the $/sale of a product. For any clickbank top seller, a product with a $20/sale is said to be profitable.

    After that, you must ensure that the product you’ll be selling meets the expectations of the market. For this, go through the reviews about the product. You can use Google to search for reviews, if you find yourself satisfied with it; then go for it.

    Some marketers might advise you to buy the product and use it first, before selling it to others. That way, you’ll get first hand knowledge of the product and know it inside out.

    Another very important aspect is to look for a high commission percentage. A percentage commission of anything less than 20% isn’t profitable enough.

    After you’ve selected a top selling product, start your online campaign of selling it. You can use e-mails, banners posted on sites, pasting links on other sites, search engines, blogging sites etc. You may want to invest a little time in getting trained about using various internet tools effectively, to create an awareness and attract more customers through your link(s).

    Once you’ve selected the right product, advertise it in a well planned manner at strategic locations online, by sending e-mails to resourceful and influential people. Your marketing stint has begun. Reap the maximum benefits to be derived from this fast growing and profitable line of affiliate marketing, by selling a top clickbank product.

    How To Find Top ClickBank Selling Products And Get More Profit

    Written by Mysterio on Monday, January 5th, 2009 in Click Bank.

    If you’ve decided on becoming a clickbank affiliate, then you must’ve come across the question: how do I find the top selling products? The clickbank marketplace is a good place to start because it has a large affiliate network, where you can purchase products that can be used to build your internet business, list the products and offer them for sale through your own affiliate network. Clickbank is free to join and you can select the products by going through their menu.

    Selecting A Good Product:

    To select a product to add to your list of products, use the clickbank marketplace tab. You have to search for a particular category of products by entering the relevant keywords. You’ll see information which will tell you about the product, its sales page, and the place to create your hoplink. You can use this hoplink to promote the top selling products. With this link, you can be identified on the site. When a customer enters the merchant’s site using your link, you’ll automatically receive the commission when the product gets sold.

    In selecting the top selling products, these terms may of some value to you:

    Percentage commission: The percentage commission you’ll receive if a product is sold using your affiliate link. If the percentage commission is 30%, this means for every $100 of sale, you’ll receive $30 as commission.

    Affiliate commission: The actual amount you’ll receive as a commission for that particular product.

    Gravity: This shows the popularity of the product in numerical terms. The higher the gravity, the more popular the product is. Being more popular means, you’ll have lots of competition in terms of more affiliates for the same product.

    Referral Percentage: This shows the percentage of each product that’s referred by affiliates.

    How To Choose Products Based On Information:

    Here are some points to keep in mind which will help you choose top selling clickbank products:

    Typically, it’s advisable to choose a product you have some idea about. If you know more about the product, then it’s easier to promote it. You can reach global audiences, and you can target the customers who you know will be interested in the particular product.

    Select a product which isn’t the highest, but high enough in gravity. This way, you’ll be sure that you have a quality product which is quite popular, and that you have competition which isn’t fierce.

    The commission percentage shouldn’t less than 25%. If you select a product which has commission between 40% to 50%, you’ll be in great shape.

    Go through the sales copy and other pieces of information clickbank provides about the product. If the product is attractive and you feel like buying it, then it’s a good bet that the product is good, and others would also like to buy it.

    Choosing top selling clickbank products isn’t a problem. Do some research, and take advantage of the online tools, and you’ll soon become a successful affiliate marketing expert.

    Viable Online Business for Beginners

    Written by jmantexas1970 on Saturday, January 3rd, 2009 in Click Bank.

    Question: Why is it so hard to get started with an online business in affiliate marketing?

    Answer: High levels of competition as this is the lowest cost of entry into a thriving market!

    I personally spent countless hours and a substantial amount of money staring my online business. I was smart enough, I guess. I mean I did well in university and made a good living as a project manager following my stint in the academic ranks. I did even better later on as a project management consultant.

    The problem was that I was working too much and too far from home. There had to be an answer to develop a steady income stream entirely online. There had to be a way to generate a good income and stay close to my family. I was determined to figure it out.

    I purchased, downloaded and read countless eBooks touting anywhere from $100,000 in 90 days to $1,000,000 in a year. Like the good student I was, I followed the instructions to a tee (save the cheesy, hard selling, red letter web sites) and nothing. I spent money on key words with Google, generally letting Google’s Key Word tools select them for me as I did not and do not trust the third party web sites claiming superiority to Google, and why would I! The return was, again, NOTHING.

    I eventually found that the rules to online marketing and building a sustainable online business with a steady stream of income closely resembled those learned in my Marketing 101 class in university. The online marketing and business success necessitate three things:

    1. Niche identification
    2. Niche market exploitation
    3. Niche identification

    You will note the repetitious nature of the cycle. This, unfortunately, is not as easy as one might think. In the online marketing realm, it is often even more difficult than in the bricks and mortar world due to the millions of intelligent competitors. Unfortunately for me, most of these competitors had far more time on their hands for the research and identification of the niches and the subsequent steps.
    There are a few tried and true ways to identify the niche and, more often than not, it involves the same philosophy the Wall Street Traders hold dear; follow the herd.

    At the Click Bank market place one can easily identify where the heard is going simply by sorting high gravity and popularity of the affiliate products available there. Just go to www.clickbank.com and select “Marketplace” and sort by “Gravity”. This will tell you what the rest of the folks in the herd are going after in a frenzied state. Now, not all of them are niche markets, but a bit more Google research can help confirm or deny this.

    Now that you have your niche identification, comes the second step; exploitation. This can be a bit tricky, or not, depending on your field of expertise. I strongly encourage people to avoid attempts at exploiting niches in which they have no expertise as the efforts, save the lucky few, generally produce results commensurate with the knowledge.

    If you have a background and physical therapy or personal training, for example, you can easily exploit health & fitness niches. I like my beer and sweets too much to delve into this, so generally stick to exploiting things that I know something about such as general marketing and computer & internet software, add-ons, technical papers etc. Get started with a plan to exploit your niche, execute and move onto the next step.

    The next step, of course, is to repeat the entire process. It is can be cumbersome, but trust me on this one, it gets easier with each repetition. Hey, it’s not easy. However, few things worthwhile enough to get you more quality time with your family while you work from home are.

    Make Money Online With The Help Of Clickbank

    Written by mfleischner on Friday, January 2nd, 2009 in Click Bank.

    While doing some basic research online, I was surprised to find so few articles written about Clickbank. As one of the largest affiliate networks, Internet marketers have been making money with Clickbank for as long as I can remember. There are a number of other providers of affiliate programs such as commission junction, and paydotcom. These programs have a lot in common.

    The concept of an affiliate program is rather simple. These programs bring together manufacturers or providers of informational products with website owners, marketers, and vendors who wish to resell their products.

    There are a number of reasons why someone would want to resell a third party product or service. The real motivator is money but there are additional benefits as well. When serving as an affiliate and selling someone else’s product:

    1. You don’t have to take inventory. As an affiliate, you don’t have to worry about buying the third party product, storing it, and then shipping it when you get a sale. Rather, you simply promote the product and receive a commission when someone that you refer buys from the manufacturer or originator of the product itself.

    2. You don’t have to create promotional material. In today’s competitive affiliate marketplace, most product creators proactively create all the promotional material you need to sell their product. Banners, buttons, emails, and pitch pages are readily available and can be easily implemented on your website or blog.

    3. You don’t have to invest any money. Getting started as an affiliate doesn’t require any cost. You simply sign up through an affiliate network and receive a publisher ID. When sales are made through your publisher ID, the affiliate site takes a small percentage of the sale. This is essentially how they make their money. The good part is that you don’t have to spend any money out-of-pocket.

    4. You can select products that are closely aligned to your niche.

    Getting Started

    When I first began in Internet marketing, there wasn’t a lot of variety in the area of third party affiliate products to sell on my websites. As a result, I had to do online research, speak directly with vendors and often set up complicated tracking schemes in an effort to accurately track and record all sales being made. Since then, a lot has changed.

    With the advent of affiliate networks, finding the right products to promote via your website or blog and getting up and running is very simple. To begin, visit one of the affiliate networks mentioned at the beginning of this article and sign up for a free account. Next, visit the market place and search for products related to your website’s niche. Once you’ve identified a product that is relevant, create a tracking link and place it on your website along with any assets (banners, buttons, etc.) that can be used to promote the product or service.

    The key is to remember that each link or piece of creative that you place on your site needs to have your tracking link included. This is very easy to do and is often a matter of cut and paste depending on which affiliate network you’re using.

    Each affiliate network offers support as well. Whether through live support, email, or some type of forum, you can get you most common questions answered quickly.

    If you want to start making money online, then take a closer look at affiliate programs. It’s quick, it’s easy, and can add some money to your pocket.
