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.
