Make Money With ClickBank

ClickBank Check

What is ClickBank I explained to you in my previous post "ClickBank Affiliate Network". How to make money with ClickBank is good question and I will answer it now.

Make money with ClickBank is all about finding profitable product to sell called niche, creating website or blog and driving traffic to it. It sounds so simple but it is not. I am ClickBank affiliate marketer, I have good success with it but I must to admit is is not easy. I didn't created my own website about affiliate marketing. I am using free blogs, Web 2.0 websites, Social Networks, Business Networks, social bookmarking websites, forums etc. It is a lot of work to do. 

Make Money With ClickBank

1. Find profitable Niche. Finding profitable niche is the first task you should to complete to make money with ClickBank. It is not easy but it is achievable. ClickBank provide one product factor called gravity. Gravity shows us about the sales made by the affiliates in this week for your chosen product. Higher the gravity easier is to sell this product. I suggest you to choose product with gravity higher than 50. These products are really popular and really quality.

2. Create a blog. By creating a blog you become visible on Internet. You don't have to pay some companies to create a blog for you. You can do on your own without spending a cent. There are a lot of blogging platform like Google Blogger and Wordpress that will allow you to create free blog. If you decide to become blogger, but professional and profitable blogger I suggest you to read the book "Profitable Blogging Secrets". Profitable Blogging Secrets will teach you how a lot of aspects of professional blogging such us finding profitable niche, the top affiliate websites, finding converting keywords, setting up a website, choosing a domain, powerful plugins to install etc.

The most important thing you should consider in creating your blog is your domain name. It is not important if it is free domain or custom domain. The domain should consist the main keyword of your profitable product. 

3. Building Backlinks to your blog or website. Bulding high quality backlinks is the most important in your marketing strategy. To successfully perform it I suggest you to develop your own backlinks strategy. I created a Squidoo lens called "Backlinks Strategy". There you will find a lot of useful tips how to build quality backlinks to your blog or website that will give positive signals to the search engines and will increase your search engine page results. Be careful how you build your backlinks, it must looks like natural. If you pay some website to build you 10 000 backlinks for one month, then you will destroy your website reputation. Search engines will realize that these are artificial backlinks and will ban your website.

4. Driving traffic to your blog or website. Driving traffic is the most important to become profitable. Your traffic must be real, not some bots or traffic exchanges. This is because only targeted real people can buy from you. On the traffic exchange you can't make sales because the people that will visit your website are people like you. They are marketers and are not willing to pay for your products. 

There are a lot of ways to drive traffic to your blog. You can make SEO optimization, you can submit your website to social bookmarking websites, you can submit it to website directories, you can write articles and submit it to many as possible article directories etc. Social Networks are also good way to drive quality traffic to your blog. If you have a lot of friends from different countries around the world I suggest you to share your links there. You can even create Fan Pages on Facebook, get fans and share links with them. The possibilities are endless, you just need to work.

5. Pay Per Click Advertising Networks. Pay per click advertising networks such us Google Adwords and Chitika are nice place to drive highly targeted quality traffic. These networks are capable to help you make money with ClickBank on the most easiest way. You just need to register, choose profitable keywords and pay for advertising campaign. If you have created Facebook Fan Page I suggest you to use Facebook Advertising Platform to gather some targeted followers. There are a lot of websites that offer Fans exchanging but I really don't recommend it. There is no need to exchange fans, it can happen natural. I have my own Fan Page about Visual Basic 2010 and it has more than 5000 fans. I never exchanged fans or similar. 

Researching on Internet I found fan pages that have millions of fans. If you can achieve this number then 100% I guarantee you that you will make money with ClickBank or with any other affiliate network. When you share a link on you fan page then this link will be shown to all millions fans. 

ClickBank Affiliate Network

ClickBank has been developed 1998. It has helped tens thousands of people to enrich financial stability in their lives. They has converted their knowledge, passion and experience into stable income. Some of them, I mean the best affiliates became even a millionaires writing about their favorite products recommending them to other people. ClickBank affiliate network is one of the biggest and one of the best rated affiliate networks. As an affiliate marketer I am using it very much. I even made a solid income up to now. I received many checks that covered all my needs.
Working with ClickBank is not difficult at all. You don't even need to be professional marketer to succeed. You only need to find a product you think is good and you tried it in the past, and write about your experience. 

From my own experience I suggest you to do not write articles that are only simple advertisements. Write product reviews. Product reviews tell the potential customers that you already have tried the product and of course you are satisfied from it. Believe me, all smart people before decide to buy something, they read product reviews. Reading product reviews is the only way to avoid scamming.

Starting with ClickBank is easy. Click here to register!

After you register and log in, you can start using ClickBank. Above of the ClickBank page you will see "Marketplace". Click on "Marketplace" and you can start searching for a products. From the left side are represented the categories (like on the picture). The categories will help you better search for a certain product. You can see categories like Arts & Entertainment, Betting Systems, Business / Investing, Computer / Internet, Cooking, Food & Wine, E-Business & E-Marketing, Education, Employment & Jobs, Fiction, Games, Green Products, health & Fitness etc. There is categories for all types of people. Everyone can find some product he once tried. You just have to find it, and start sharing your experience with your readership where you attach your own affiliate link.
When you click some of the categories, in my case Arts & Entertainment you will see the following.

 From this picture you can see that all searches are sorted by Popularity (above). In "Stats", red colored, you can see that the initial sale is $32.32, you will get 71% commission for each sale. The gravity is 152.55. In my previous post "How to choose affiliate products to promote" I explained you what the product gravity means. Product gravity represent the sales made by the affiliate for the last week.
When you decide which product to promote click "Promote" to get your affiliate link. After that attach this link to your articles and start promoting them.

How to Choose Affiliate Products to Promote

Knowing how to choose affiliate products to promote determine your success as an affiliate marketer.

In this post, I will explain to you in details how to choose affiliate products from ClickBank the affiliate network. When you sign up to ClickBank and go to Marketplace you will see hundreds of thousands of products offered by them. You will need years to study all of them. ClickBank developed a tool, as to how to find profitable niche which is easy to sell. 

According to my experience the first thing you should check is "gravity" or product gravity. Product gravity shows the number of sells made by the affiliates for the chosen product during the current week. It is still a question what is the gravity boundary to determine which product is easy to sell, but from my own experience I only choose products with gravity higher than 50. If you find a product with gravity higher than 100 then believe me even if you are a beginner you will make sales with low efforts. 

The second thing you should check is the price and the commission offered by the vendor. I suggest that you promote a product that offers you at least 40% commission. 

What does 40% commission mean?

It means that, if the product costs $100 and you make a sale you will earn $40. Some of the so-called affiliate gurus will tell you to do not promote a products with price lower than $200. I highly suggest you that this is not true. You don't need to promote high expensive products to be successful. Promoting high expensive products is useful if you are paying to some advertising networks such as Google Adwords, Chitika or Yahoo. But if you are trying to earn money without spending money than you can freely promote a product that cost $30. 

The third thing is to research about to your product or to buy it. From my own experience the best way to know everything about such a product is to buy it. If it is a book, software or a service then you will learn everything for them only if you buy it. 

The fourth thing is to know your customers. Your chosen product must be a solution for some problem. When you find some product I suggest you to research on the various related forums to check what the people needs, how your solution is different and more practical and similar things. You should ask questions to the social networks and depended of the answers to react. In this contest comes the keyword. Let's say you are selling a product that can spin articles. That means it is capable from one article to recreate hundreds new article, different from the original. This is useful tool in you SEO, because these article can be submitted to the article directories to make your niche website or blog more competitive. In this way you can't write into the search engines "free article spinner".  Not that this keyword will not be useful but if you write "buy article spinner" and find some forums or social networks where the people want it then you will achieve better success. You should start to think as a seller. You should research a lot about your niche or you need to pay for advertising. 

Researching I discovered many people spamming the social networks or forums by posting hundreds of links to them. This is not the way. you will only loose your reputation and will be deleted by the search engines. 

How to choose an affiliate network?

In my preview blog post "How to Earn Money on Internet" I have mentioned different ways of earning solid passive income that can make you financial independent. The most famous way is affiliate marketing. I also mentioned that if you want to start doing affiliate marketing you need to register to at least one affiliate network or products selling website that offer this service.

Ok, let's say you have decided to do affiliate marketing and you are new to it. Then the main question e is how to choose an affiliate network?. 

This blog post will teach you everything you need to know before registering to any of the mentioned affiliate networks in my previous post.

Read some reviews about the affiliate network you choose. No matter it is ClickBank, Paydotcom, PaySpree, Amazon Associate or else you can't be sure that it is still profitable as before. Read some new reviews, try to contact the authors to share their experience then decide what to do. 

When you search for reviews you can search on this way too. Type into the Google search "ClikBank Scam" or "PaySpree Scam". Find all of the reviews pointing your affiliate network to be a scam. Don't be discouraged if you find some bad reviews that pointing some legit affiliate network to be a scam. There are many affiliate marketers that have bad experience with the some affiliate network because of their lack of skills or little efforts.

I am writing this post not to confuse you. I only want to teach you how to decide about registering or no registering to some affiliate network I didn't mention. 

ClickBank, PaySpree, Amazon Associates and Paydotcom are 100% legit. I have checked them all and you don't even need to doubt about them. All of the above was if you find other affiliate network.

Other thing you need to check is payment methods. Many of the affiliate networks do not support all the countries around the world. Read their terms of reviews and check does your country is supported. If it is supported then you can receive money for your marketing efforts trough PayPal, Check or Wire Transfer.

Very important thing is what products are offered by the network and what are the commissions. If the products are not quality or the commissions are low then it is not worth to lose your money and time promoting them. From my own experience I noticed that product with commissions lower than 50% is not worth. If you have some well established and developed website or blog with millions of real visitors per month, then it is ok. But if you are new to affiliate marketing then I do not suggest you to promote a product with lower commission than 50%.

If you don't want to bother yourself with reading reviews or something else then register some of the networks listed bellow.

1. ClickBank is one of the biggest affiliate network offering services to online retailers, list owners, established affiliates. This network earn more than 2 billions of dollars per year. This is the best sign of the popularity and trustfulness of ClickBank. I am also an affiliate to ClickBank and I am earning solid income per year. ClickBank offers very high commissions (percentage of every sale you make trough your link). you can find a products with even 75% commissions high. Commissions are the factors considered by many people to chose which product to promote. If the product has a high commission rate then the probability to become chosen by some affiliate is very high.
2. PaySpree is another trustful affiliate marketing. I am member to this network too as an affiliate and I am earning solid income from it too. I like it because it pays directly to your PayPal account. PaySpree also offers high commission rates. Some products are offering even 100% commission. The products offered by this affiliate network are digital and very quality
3. PayDotCom is the biggest competition to ClickBank. It has huge marketplace with carefully chosen and high quality products. If you chose this affiliate network you will never wrong. There is some affiliate members of this network earning a few millions of dollars per year. You can be the next.
4. Amazon.com Associates is an affiliate network that has the biggest marketplace ever. Here you can promote everything, books, jewelry, ebooks, phones, computers, furniture, vacuum cleaners, materials etc. The only bad thing here is the commission. You can earn 4-8% commission. But this shouldn't discourage you. Here are a lot of products easy to sell with very high prices.

Selling Small Services

Selling small services mean offering your knowledge for a small fee usually offered only by professionals and for very high price. If you have some talent or some special knowledge you can sell it on the websites listed bellow.

1. Fiverr is great marketplace for small services. You can offer your special skill for only $5 what makes you very competitive in a price. Fiverr has a lot of members and it is growing from day to day. I like this website very much. I've earned a lot of money here.
2. Yooker is the second website from this branch. It is also very popular like Fiverr with the only difference each Yook (offer) can be from $5 to $25. You can offer even more complex projects here. This website is also growing and that's why it is a good choice for you.
3. Alerr according to me is the best of all similar websites. Alerr offers huge marketplace for small microjobs. Here you can post even more complex projects worth up to $100. I like this website a lot and I am using it a lot. I highly recommend Alerr to everybody.

Earn Money With Web 2.o Websites

Web 2.0 websites are one of the best ways to earn money on Internet. Here you are writing articles and get paid for every view of your article. In your articles are imported paid ads like Google AdSense, Infolinks or else, or trough advertising deterrent affiliate products. How much money you will earn trough these websites is depended only by the quality of your websites.

There are many Web 2.0 websites. The most famous are the websites listed bellow.

1. Squidoo according my experience is the best web 2.0 website. I am using it every day and I am very satisfied. I will write more for Squidoo in my later posts. Squidoo websites called lenses. Here is an example how one lens looks (Rosetta Stone French). Visit this lens and you will know how to create good looking and professional lens.
2. HubPages is the biggest competition to Squidoo. HubPages websites are called hubs. HubPages are very competitive to the search engine results. That means you can freely write an article about your blog, website or product and will increase the exposure to them. Here is an example how one hub looks (Arbitrage Betting Software). Visit this hub and you will learn how to create a professional looking hub. 
3. Bukisa is an article website where 60% of the AdSense or Chitika ads are shared. This is also good website you can use it to earn some aditional income. I don't using it at the moment but I've read some reviews and I know that this website is quality.

Pay per click advertising networks

Pay per click advertising networks are a networks that offer a services for advertisers and publishers to earn money. Advertisers pay for high quality advertising called pay per click. On this way advertisers acquire new costumers buy getting new leads. 

Publishers get paid for selling advertising space. If your blog or website is quality you can earn a lot of money from selling advertising space. I know blogs that sells advertising space for at least one ad for $5000 per year. In countries as mine these money are good income. But these blogs don't sell only space for one ad. They sell space for many ads that make them financially independent wherever they live.

Top Advertising Networks

Google Adwords is the biggest advertising network that exist today. It is powerd by Google and it is wide used by business owners to promote their businesses. If you have your own business or you sell your own products than this network is for you. If decide to become advertiser on Google Adwords be careful how you create your ad and the limitation of the budget because you can lose a lot of money. 

If you want to earn thousands of dollars per year I suggest you to check this product "Beating Adwords". 

"Beating Adwords" can teach you how to get a check from ClickBank using Google Adwords similar like the picture bellow.

Google Adsense is the second tool offered by Google. It is only for publishers. You can apply for Google Adsense for free, but I don't suggest you to apply if your website or blog is new or not well established enough. Many Google Adsense users are earning thousands of dollars per year using this Google network.

Yahoo Advertising Solutions is the best Google Adwords competition. It is widely used by many business owners around the world. If you need advertising then this advertising network is really for you.

Chitika is the third competition of Google Adwords and Google AdSense. It is high quality network offering the advertisers to target customers across the Internet. Chitika advertising network is very high. You can find Chitika ads on more than 200 000 websites. This is a huge number.

Publishers can earn a lot of money from their website traffic. I highly recommend this networks for publishers. Using Chitka ads you can earn solid income from your traffic as a publisher.

InfoLinks is the other high quality advertising network delivering ads in no-usual web places. You can earn revenuse by displaying ads inframe, insearch, intag and intext. 

If you are advertiser then this network of more than 100 000 websites in 128 countries is the best solution for your budget. Their ads are high responsive and are very attractive for the advertisers.

Facebook Ads are also very competitive. With more than 1 billion of users Facebook is the biggest social network today. That makes Facebook ads very attractive because they can be shown to big audience. Here you can't be publisher, only advertiser. 
If you want to promote your own business, product, website or blog I recommend these ads. You can even create Facebook Fan Page, promote it and acquire thousands of customers.

Start your own blog!

Starting and maintaining a blog is an excellent way to earn solid income for yourself. There are many bloggers out there earning even a millions of dollars per year. These bloggers maintain a blogs for years and their blog are with very quality content. Many experienced marketers will say that to earn solid income from blogs you need a wide audience and the blog should be SEO (search engine optimization) optimized. I agreewith them that the blogs should have interesting and high quality content, they should be SEO optimized but SEO optimization is not the key factor. SEO optimization can even be easy considered as Black SEO if you over optimize it. The only thing I suggest is high quality content and social networks sharing support. If your content is unique and interesting your blog will become viral and you don't even need to advertise it. If your blog reach viral level then you will start earning the dollars I mentioned above.

Top Blogging Platforms

Blogger is the best blogging platform ever created. It is powered by Google.and it is totally free. I am using it more years and I am very satisfied. My blogs are very competitive into the search engine results and I am earning good income from them. I am using several ways to monetize my Google Blogger blogs. I am writing reviews about different products I have used and I have knowledge. In the beginning of this article I mentioned the best affiliate networks. Use them to find good product to promote. These products are called niche.

If you want to learn everything about creating professional blog on Blogger platform that will earn hundred of thousands of dollars per year I suggest you to read the book "Google Blogger for Dummies" written by Susan Guilen. This book is a must guide if you want to become professional Blogger.

Wordpress is the next platform you should use in your earning arsenal. The disadvantage of Wordpress against Google Blogger is it is not free. There is a free version but you can't put affiliate links, banner adverts etc. Wordpress asks some monthly fees to allow you all the above. Doesn't matter it can be used as a quality inbound links builder.

Blog.com is also very popular blogging platform. I like it very much and I am using it a lot. This blog platform is a solid competition to Google Blogger and Wordpress. If you want to see how one Blog.com blog looks, visit my blog about "Arbitrage Betting".

Tumblr is very big and very popular blogging platform. It is offered as a free and paid membership. I don't use it a lot but I have some blogs created there.

There are many other blogging platforms out there and which one to chose is good. I suggest to create niche blogs on all of them, many as possible. They will give you greater exposure and will make you more competitive in the world of earning money on Internet.

If you want to become professional blogger, no matter which platform you will use I suggest you to start training with the "Queen of the Affiliate Marketing", Rosalind Gardner <Click Here!>. Rosalind Gardner is a Super Affiliate since 1998. She have tutored tens of thousands of people to earn money on Internet, I mean serious money.
