ClickBank is a popular affiliate platform which so far has generated US $11,000+ for me in passive income. If you're a complete beginner or you have tried to make money online and failed, this article will give you new insights into affiliate marketing and how to make money with ClickBank in just a few hours. What is ClickBank? ClickBank is an online marketplace showcasing more than 11,000 products from sellers all around the world. The products on sale include ebook guides, audio files, computer software, health supplements, home study courses, CD and DVD series, and more. You can make money with ClickBank by signing up as an affiliate, which means you can promote any product you like and earn a commission for every sale you make. ClickBank products offer up to 75% commission and track your sales efforts for months afterwards. The benefits of this business model include:
You don't need to create your own product You don't to worry about stocking or shipping You don't have to deal with customer queries The product vendor handles all the admin You may recognize this process as affiliate marketing, and it is a superb way to make money online with or without a website. All you need to do it send traffic to your unique affiliate link, and let the vendor do the rest. ClickBank Bestsellers Generally, the most profitable (highest commission) products on ClickBank usually fall into the following categories:
Online Casinos Pharmaceutical Drugs Website Hosting Credit Cards Diet Pills
Loans and Debt Consolidation Computer Software However, I don't recommend you actually target any of these products because every man and his dog already does this. The competition is fierce - meaning you will have to pay more on advertising if you don't own a website. If you do already own a successful website in these niches, then feel free to go after these lucrative affiliate products, as long as they are genuine and you believe in them. Otherwise (especially as a ClickBank newbie) I suggest you go for more mundane but less competitive niches, such as "how to" ebooks. There are plenty of people out there searching on Google to learn how to cook delicious recipes, how to play piano, or how to do home repairs. Identify a product that fulfils a need, and you will reap the rewards. How to Make Money with ClickBank via Your Website or Blog Now you understand what ClickBank is all about, let's get cracking. First, register with ClickBank for free and set up your affiliate account. Then start promoting products on your site. This is exactly how I did it: Step 1 - I created a fun website about Shetland Sheepdogs and now I want to make some money from it. I sign up to ClickBank as an affiliate. Step 2 - I search the ClickBank marketplace for relevant products, by entering the search term "dog training". I am given a list of all the dog training products with data on popularity, price and commission. Step 3 - I pick my favorites and contact the vendors directly for a free product sample to review. If I show them my website they are usually more than happy to oblige, as they know I will make a good affiliate partner. Step 4 - After reviewing the dog training products, I decide that my favorite is Secrets to Dog Training. I return to ClickBank to grab my affiliate hoplink and place this link on my website in text and banner ads. Step 5 - Job done! Any time someone clicks on my affiliate link, ClickBank will place a tracking cookie on their computer. This ensures that if or when they finally decide to purchase, I will be credited with the commission. In the case of Secrets to Dog Training, this is as much as $27 per sale. Tips for Increasing Sales If the above sounds too easy, I promise you it isn't - otherwise everyone would know how to make money with ClickBank hand over fist... It does take hard work and patience before the passive income starts rolling in. Most people are put off by that initial perceived risk or actual legwork required (...and those are the ones still
working 9-5 day jobs). So, the hard part about making money with ClickBank is sending a minimum amount of web traffic to the vendor's sales page. Not every visitor is going to buy the product - in fact, it is likely to be anywhere between 1 in 100 to 1 in 500 visitors who make a purchase. The good news is, there are ways to warm up your visitors to encourage a sale. These include:
Write your own product review - Remember I obtained a free product sample in step three? This is so I know exactly what I'm promoting. I don't want to get a bad reputation for selling crap on my websites. I test everything I sell via ClickBank because I don't want my readers to get burned. Not only is this more ethical, it's also vital if you want to make money online from repeat customers and build up a trustworthy reputation. So I encourage you to write an honest product review to give readers a feel for the benefits of the product before they are confronted with the hard hitting sales page. (Yeah, I hate those pages, but internet marketers will keep using them as long as they prove to be effective.) Use banner ads - Many ClickBank vendors offer affiliate tools to help you make more sales, such as banner adverts. I only put the most attractive and professional looking banners on my websites, and make sure I link them to my own product review. If a vendor doesn't have any banners, I make my own in PhotoShop. I'm a writer by trade, not a graphic designer, but this hasn't stopped me giving it a go. You should try it too. My first few banners were dreadful but I have got a lot better at it, and there is a huge payoff because now I can offer unique and tailored banners for any products I want. Use direct product links - Some vendors may just offer a single product landing page, while others have entire storefronts. If it's the latter, you should direct your hoplink to a specific product page. After all, what is it you want your reader to buy? I wouldn't drop a visitor on Amazon's homepage and hope they randomly decide to buy a DVD player. I would recommend a particular book that I have read, then deliver them to that book detail page on Amazon. Final Thoughts ClickBank is just one affiliate marketplace I've used to make money online. Other marketplaces include Ejunkie, Commission Junction, Share a Sale, and more. Some vendors even run their own in-house affiliate tracking systems. In fact, if it's sold online, you can just about guarantee that there is an affiliate program for it.
