Use Forums to Promote Your ClickBank Affiliate Products

Experienced affiliates, on ClickBank and elsewhere, know forum marketing can be one of the most powerful promotional techniques, especially in forums populated exclusively by potential readers of whatever you are promoting. It obviously helps if forum members have a shared and very urgent need or problem to solve, especially one with a highly appropriate ClickBank product. Here are more things you should know to help you begin promoting your affiliate products at forums:

* Forums are generally populated by people asking questions, others providing answers, and people generally passing round information about their shared passion. So you’ll find problems and special needs being discussed all the time in many thousands of forums covering countless different subjects, such as scrapbooking, making money on eBay, creative writing, rearing Mastiff dogs.

* They can be a very effective place to promote your recommended ClickBank products. One of the best ways to do this is by joining an appropriate forum, and participating in conversations, especially by offering tips or answers to common problems.

* Comments made by individuals at the site are called ‘postings’ and they can be extremely effective in getting traffic to your recommended product’s sales page, especially if you end your posting with something to distinguish you as an expert in the subject matter concerned. You can do this by offering a free report about the subject with your name as author and which includes links to ClickBank products recommended inside the report.

Why ClickBank is a Newbie Affiliate's Dream Come True

So many affiliates consider ClickBank THE world's most important affiliate site, mainly because the company keeps a tight rein on what products are allowed on their site and will quickly remove any product or vendor that falls short of the company's very high standards of quality control and customer care.

But there are other reasons also why big earners turn to ClickBank when seeking new affiliate products as well as for selling their own digital download items.

The main reason is that ClickBank has been around for several years, they know how the digital product business works, they understand what affiliates and product owners want from a professional affiliate company and they work very hard to achieve and exceed that standard.

ClickBank is reliable, user friendly, and boasts never to have missed a scheduled payment to affiliates or product owners; I know that's true for at least seven years of the company's existence.

Moreover, their customer service for affiliates, product owners, buyers and enquirers is second to none; when you need help you ask for it and you can expect an answer within twenty four hours, sometimes much less. And it's this aspect of genuinely caring for affiliates and vendors that brings the highest accolades for ClickBank because, unlike many other major companies, this one actually sends personal answers to whatever questions are asked and you'll never be fobbed off with autoresponder messages or referred to the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) section because human beings are not inclined to help.

However, there are two main problem areas which new affiliates should know about that are inherent to the ClickBank system and have quick and simple solutions.

Firstly, ClickBank pays in US dollars no matter where in the world affiliate and product owners live. This means recipients without US dollar accounts must pay banks to convert their dollars to local currency, British Pounds, for example, or Euros. The problem of sorts is that many banks charge the same high fee to convert US dollars to local currency, regardless of dollar value. In the UK, for instance, banks charge £8 for the conversion - about 16 US Dollars - whether your ClickBank check is for $100 or $20,000. Thankfully there's a simple, easy option provided by CB itself, in that affiliates and vendors can set their accounts to release checks only when a specific - usually high - level is achieved, such as $5,000, $10,000, or more. Don't ever worry about not being paid, no matter how high commissions go, the company has proved its reliability, and this one simple step slashes the banks' share of your hard-earned cash.

The other problem few newcomers know about is the ease with which ClickBank commissions can be hijacked by unethical affiliates. It works like this: when an affiliate receives a mailing about some new product sourced by you, he or she will recognise the affiliate component of the destination url, and some will substitute their own affiliate nickname for yours and rob you of your commissions for sourcing the product. So instead of up to 75 per cent of the product price making its way into your affiliate account, the unscrupulous affiliate will pay full price for the product and have 75 per cent bounce back to his own affiliate account. There is little you can do to prevent experienced affiliates participating in this practice but two alternative solutions present themselves:

- It's mainly business opportunity seekers and online marketers who understand the ClickBank hoplink, which makes it good sense to target buyers outside the business opportunity field. So instead of business opportunity enthusiasts sell to hobbyists wanting craftwork ideas, sports men and women seeking training plans, dog owners needing help to train their unruly pets, young men and women wanting information about dating, parents seeking advice to prevent their child from being bullied, and generally to people having little interest in affiliate marketing.

- Offer gifts and bonus items to everyone ordering through your affiliate link, and make the bonus items available solely from you. Get buyers to email you after ordering, ask them to provide their order transaction number, then email back with the download link for the bonus items. If the bonus items are good, most people will order through your link, even affiliates who might otherwise steal your profits for themselves!

Four Ways to Generate Lifetime Commissions From Your ClickBank Products

So many people want to make money online, and so many people complain that finding products is difficult, promoting those products is harder still. In fact, for newbie and professional alike, there’s a very simple plan to follow to market virtually any product, even in highly competitive markets, for products that countless affiliates are already promoting.

I’m going to use ClickBank products as my example for this article, mainly because ClickBank is very picky about products allowed at their site, so you always know you are selling quality information and you’ll never be accused of marketing scams or unworkable products.

Once you have your product, the secret to making money is follow a definite marketing plan, to leave no stone unturned so to speak, and to promote your product in as many places as possible, on and off the Internet, using the easiest of all marketing techniques, all of them free!

The following marketing ideas can be applied to virtually any affiliate product, especially ClickBank’s enormous stable of quality items:

* Write an article about problems your chosen product seeks to resolve. So, say, for example, you are promoting a book about curing acne, your article might focus on causes of acne and recommend the book as a means of benefiting most sufferers. Upload your article to one or more top article directories, notably Ezine Articles and Go Articles.

* Build a Squidoo lens, add articles such as those you might add to article directories. At Squidoo you can include illustrations for your recommended product and you can also hyperlink your affiliate url direct to the product’s sales page.

* Mention the product in your outgoing emails, either as a direct comment in the body of the email or as a ‘P.S’ after your signature. You can format the P.S. as a Signature File inside your email account where it will be automatically added to all outgoing emails until you remove it or amend it to promote other ClickBank products later.

* Place small free classified ads. in offline newspapers, in categories read by your target audience. So, for example, your book about acne cures might be promoted under ‘Health and Beauty’ in some local or national publication and end by recommending readers visit your web site or blog for more information about the recommended book.

Individually those ideas might sell just ten or twenty copies of your recommended product, but each promotion takes literally minutes and costs nothing and really does represent the highest return for your investment of time and energy.

Finding Hot Prospects for Your Chosen ClickBank Affiliate Products

Your market for any affiliate product should comprise people with a specific problem or need and money they are willing to spend on their specific problem or need. This is your ‘hungry crowd’ and the bigger their problem, the hungrier they are, the more money you’ll make.

The question is: where do you find your hungry crowd?

There are in fact many ways to locate a market with a problem or specific need that might be fulfilled by something you can promote from ClickBank.

The trick is to be ever receptive to ideas, trends, challenges and problems emerging as you go about your daily business.

A potential market for a ClickBank product may come to you in a television programme, for example, telling how people are feeding their pet dogs too many foods containing chemical flavourings and colourings that can cause disease and illness and cut their pets’ life expectancy. You may not know it yet but there’s a great book at ClickBank that tells all about creating your own natural foods that help keep pet dogs fit and healthy well into old age.

You may find a market when you read a newspaper article focussing on the fact that tens of thousands of single women are worried about first dates and they fear they’ll dry up and run out of conversation. The article suggests a few conversational opening lines to help solve the women’s plight, but those few lines are insufficient to maintain conversation over a full evening. There’s another problem for which a book almost certainly exists for you to promote via ClickBank. If there is no suitable title you might consider creating your own product about maintaining scintillating conversation on a first date.

Your potential buyers with problems or needs might also be identified from online articles receiving thousands of hits within days of being published. My favourite means of locating high traffic markets for ClickBank products is by studying directories such as Ezine Articles for articles that have achieved tens of thousands of hits in their first few months online. Find those articles, create your own unique articles on a similar theme, then upload them and wait for hundreds or thousands of visits to your site within days of writing your articles.

So there you have it, just a few of many ways to locate markets for ClickBank products, enough to keep you busy making money for months to come.

BENEFITS OF USING GOOGLE ADWORDS FOR YOUR CLICKBANK PROMOTIONS

Classified Ads: A Godsend or Your Biggest Nightmare? Why Classified Advertising Online Solves Major Problems of Advertising Off the Internet

The dream of countless people, including myself, is one of creating wealth from just a few simple classified ads., costing very little, and reaching millions of people, while generating hundreds of orders and lots of lovely cash.

Thanks to the Internet, that dream is coming true for millions of people worldwide. Let me tell you why.

Benefits of Using Google Adwords for Your ClickBank Promotions

Many affiliates promote exclusively through Google AdWords, primarily for the following reasons:

* Easier start up than for traditional offline advertising which sometimes requires references from solicitors, accountants and bank managers, sometimes trade suppliers, before ads. will be accepted. Online the only thing that really matters is your intention and ability to pay, and that is accomplished by providing access to your credit card details! Matters of ethics, trading standards, and such, can be questioned by Google and others later.

* Just one place to turn for all your advertising needs, unlike offline publications which are traditionally separated into general markets and niche markets. Google AdWords can be targeted almost instantly at the tightest of niche markets, however few members exist. Offline publications require huge subscriber bases to stay afloat, unlike the Internet which caters for everyone, regardless how remote their interest or needs. So you could place advertisements in your Google account targeting products at fans of Gregory Peck, bonsai tree growers, bellringers aged over eighty, people suffering from bad breath, big bosomed women who find buying bras offline a bit of a challenge. Of course you’d never find offline publications targeting enough of those people to make your ad. viable, but online your ads. could appear in minutes and reach virtually every person who ever enquires online about Gregory Peck (I do it all the time!), big girls’ bras, tiny trees and elderly bell boys! What’s more, because your audience is so remote (assuming you have a product those people need and might actually buy), competition for Google keywords and listings should be low, possibly non-existent.

* No waiting for ads to appear. Google AdWords appear almost immediately after the ‘submit’ button is pressed.

* Can target specific countries and languages. Some products sell universally, the whole world is your potential market, regardless of location, first language, population, etc. So you target your Google AdWords to ‘All Countries’ and ‘All Languages’. Not so if your product is only suitable in for one country, and only by English speaking customers, in which case you choose ‘English’ as the language, and select one or more specific countries for your ad. to appear.

* Uniquely cheap, compared to newspaper advertising. National papers charge hundreds, sometimes thousands of units of currency (dollar, pound, whatever) compared to Google AdWords which, if few rivals exist for your chosen key words and phrases, can cost cents, pennies, whatever!

* Potentially many more people will see your online ad. than in traditional offline publications. Most offline publications target a few million readers maximum, plus a few more for over-the-shoulder readers and others waiting in doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries! Google, however, has millions of searches each day, not all suitable for your products, but that number should grow daily as more and more people discover the joys of buying online! It’s a sellers’ market, getting better all the time!

* Small companies can compete with major rivals selling similar products. But where those major companies are prepared to spend millions, without generating front end sales, just to build a customer list for back end sales, the small guy must work a little harder at finding key words and phrases their bigger rivals haven’t noticed or consider too trivial to bother adding to their listings.

* Testing is easy, fast, cheap. Products, prices, markets and customer likes and dislikes can be tested in days via Google AdWords, unlike offline advertising which can mean placing revised advertisements over long periods to test various elements of the business.

TEN Ways to Attract Heavy Traffic to Your ClickBank Affiliate Promotions

Most affiliates, new or long experienced, dream about choosing a product, uploading a simple web page to promote it, and right away begin generating huge cash sums every day from now to forever.

Sadly, that’s where the big dream ends for most people; people who, with just a little extra effort, could easily generate the income they crave from the Internet.

That’s because many people think an Internet site will market itself, they imagine search engines will find the site and promote it aggressively, they think just one advertisement will bring tons of traffic to their web site and generate lots of quick and easy cash.

WRONG!

That web site is just the first step towards making money from your own chosen ClickBank affiliate product and it can be accomplished in minutes. Leave it to find its own way online and the site is next to worthless, meaning …. IT WON’T MAKE MONEY! That’s because there’s a far more important job remaining after uploading your web site. That most important job is to actively promote the web site, to find people to visit the site and hopefully place an order, and this marketing task should be continuous, a daily job, for as long as the web page remains online.

Which brings me to the big question on all new marketers’ lips: “How and where do I get traffic to my site?”

It’s actually very easy to generate traffic, lots of traffic, to even the humblest web site, and there are many methods to choose from depending on time, money and effort available to the individual. They include:

* Submit your site to the major search engines and directories.

* Offer your articles to Internet and offline ezine and newspaper publishers specialising in topics similar to your site’s main theme. Invite those people to add their affiliate links to articles promoting your chosen products. Obviously those products need to be items you created yourself or have rights to sell, with an affiliate program that makes money for you as well as the publisher.

* Write two or three articles each week, focus on the overall subject of your web site or specific pages. Write about 1,000 words for each article and divide them into two self-standing mini-articles. Add one part to online article directories, upload the second to your own web site, link the resource box of the first part to the second part on your own web site. This can create lots of incoming links that will help lift your site in search engine listings.

* Place free and low cost classified ads. for your site and invite people to visit for more information or to buy right away. There are many thousands of free advertising locations online; you should target as many as you can, and remember to return to update your best performing ads.

* Be seen as an expert in your subject by answering questions placed at sites such as Yahoo Answers and similar. Be sure to add an active link to your web site after each posting.

* Start your own blogs, lots of blogs, all focussing on different aspects of the subject of your web site. Link each comment on every blog back to your web site. Post regularly to keep your blogs fresh and increase search engine rankings for your own blogs and web sites. List your blogs in top blog directories.

* Locate blogs and forums dealing with your site’s main focus and leave postings and comments with links back to your web site. This can improve your search engine rankings and also invite sign ups for your newsletter or free report.

* Create a ‘pen name’ or pseudonym, and write reviews about your product or site, add them to article directories, include them in blog postings, post them in forums. It’s less embarrassing to recommend your own product using a pen name than to by blatant self-promotion. ‘Independent’ reviews are also more believable to potential customers who may be upset to discover they were actually written by the author. So you must take care to separate your identities or risk being discovered and possibly ridiculed. Don’t overdo the product recommendations or you could be disqualified for misuse of some directories and forums. Read the rules before posting.

* Submit a press release, on and off the Internet, and expect some editors to pick up your story and print it in their publications and draw traffic to your web site.

* Write a free short report or eBook about your site’s main focus and submit it to all the main free eBook directories.

How to Make Hundreds of Dollars Promoting ClickBank Products

John Shelembe is the Webmaster of www.eHomebiz4you.net and is an affiliate at ClickBank


ClickBank is perhaps the world’s top choice for affiliates seeking quality products to offer their customers. That’s because the company is completely upfront and honest and totally committed to customer care. So you never see rubbish or inferior products promoted at ClickBank, and that means you’re unlikely to get many complaints from buyers or find yourself bombarded with refunds for whatever you promote from ClickBank.

But by far the best part about selling ClickBank products is that, once you have a winning formula, you simply repeat that formula, as often as you like, and you really can make money every day from a task that took less than an hour to accomplish.

Let me give you a few easy ‘do this, do that, make money today’ ideas for you to try right now:

* Sellers on eBay should add compliments slips to all their outgoing packages, mainly to thank buyers for their custom, and also to highlight other products to interest buyers from which the seller might earn generous affiliate commissions. So if you’re selling dog leads or cat collars, for example, you have a choice of literally dozens of dog and cat related products to choose from at ClickBank which, if added to your compliments slip, might generate quick and easy commissions from your eBay customers. It takes very little time to find a product that sells regularly for you through eBay which, if attracting regular sales, can lead to ongoing ClickBank commissions for many years to come. Isn’t it worth spending every available hour looking for new products to list on eBay with potential to promote ClickBank products on the back end?

* THIS IS MY OWN PARTICULAR FAVORITE MONEY MAKING TECHNIQUE: you go to an article directory like ezinearticles.com, search for articles receiving hundreds or even thousands of hits within their first few days online, then you go look for a product at ClickBank to suit people reading those articles. Next you write your own article on a similar subject – don’t ever copy, plagiarize, break copyrights – you upload your own article to the same article directory as the article you emulated. You add your affiliate link for the ClickBank product in the resource box for the article. Note that some article directories do not allow affiliate links in resource boxes, Ezine Articles is one, but you can give readers more information about the product at your own web site or blog or use what’s called the ‘Forwarding’ technique to lead readers directly to the ClickBank vendor’s product page with your affiliate link hidden behind the scenes. That article can take less than an hour to create and can generate ClickBank commissions potentially for many years to come.

Five Hot Profit Reasons to Use Pay-Per-Click to Promote Your ClickBank Affiliate Products

Pay-Per-Click advertisements, as the name implies, are those where the promoter pays only when a potential customer clicks on his advertisement to check what’s on offer. The most famous pay-per-click provider, Google AdWords, is just one of many similar companies, some much cheaper but currently none quite so effective as Google. Here are five reasons why Pay-Per-Click, notably Google AdWords, will help grow your ClickBank commissions:

* Pay-Per-Click represents perhaps the fastest way possible to get people to sign up for your newsletter or free report to promote ClickBank products or to visit your site and buy right away. Most Paper-Per-Click promotions take minutes to create and can be up and running and generating traffic very soon after. Compare this to placing ads. in offline publications which can take weeks or even months to appear.

* Pay-Per-Click ads can be tested and tracked and upscaled or edited the very same day, unlike offline publications which can take weeks or months to appear and often much longer for reliable testing, tracking and editing.

* Using Pay-Per-Click you pay to target only those people most likely to purchase your product, using keywords and phrases used by those people to locate information about products or services similar to whatever you are promoting. Except for niche publications, advertising offline in mass market newspapers and magazines, means paying for millions of people to see your ad. when only a tiny few are likely to buy.

* Numerous marketing tests can carried out concurrently and take just days or even hours using Pay-Per-Click, unlike offline advertising which can take months. Compare, for example, testing ten different ads. independently on Google Adwords, taking hours or days at most, to placing ten different ads. separately in a weekly newspaper lasting almost three months!

* If a Pay-Per-Click promoted product fails it can be withdrawn and shelved right away, unlike similar ads. placed in offline publications which can still be generating time-wasting phone calls and emails many months after appearing.

ClickBank Statistics and How They Can Explode Your Affiliate Earnings

John Shelembe is the Webmaster of www.Homebiz-4All.com and affiliated to ClickBank

ClickBank gives lots of advice to help product owners and affiliates increase their earnings but, sadly, some of that information can also cause big problems for inexperienced sellers.

Statistics featured beneath products listed in ClickBank’s Marketplace cause most confusion,but they are actually easy to understand and have the biggest impact on growing your commissions at ClickBank.

ClickBank tells us:
“In the Marketplace products are ranked by their ‘productivity score’. To preserve the integrity of the system we do not publish the formula for the score, or the score itself, but we can say that it is a function of these factors:”
Those statistics look like this:

$/sale: $46.08 | Future $: - | Total $/sale: $46.08 | %/sale: 75.0% | %refd: 70.0% | grav:313.00

They mean this:

$/sale - This is the average net amount earned by the affiliate for each sale of the product in question.

Future – This represents future potential earnings for affiliates for the product in
question. Future earnings may come from additional products at the site and from future earnings from repeat payment products such as membership sites.

Total $/sale – This represents the sum of all initial sales and later payments such as from repeat payment products.

%/sale – This indicates the percentage of sale price received by affiliates, after ClickBank commissions are deducted. It ranges from single figure amounts to 75 per cent commission.

But big isn’t always best and low affiliate commissions on high conversion products can generate better income than high percentage affiliate deals on poor selling products.

%refd – This is the percentage of a vendor’s product sales that are referred by affiliates.

Some products are promoted exclusively by affiliates, presenting benefits and disadvantages the new affiliate should consider. Products promoted exclusively by affiliates, partnered by a high gravity score, are always worth considering, unlike other affiliate only promotions with low gravity scores which mean few affiliates are promoting those products.

The latter might indicate products created purely for affiliate driven sales and may also imply the product owner lacks faith or inclination to market his own product. Low gravity affiliate only products might sggest the creator has not adequately pre-market tested the product.

Grav – Gravity - Relates to number of affiliates actually earning commissions from the product in question. The higher the figure, generally the greater the number of affiliates marketing the product. The higher the number, the greater the competition might be for affiliates newly promoting the product concerned.

However, those higher figures also indicate the product is popular with affiliates and is probably converting well from web site clicks to actual commissions. Heavy competition is a problem primarily for affiliates sharing much the same marketing methods, such as Pay-Per-Click and ezine advertising. High gravity scores impact little on affiliates using unusual or unique marketing methods such as writing their own articles to promote the product,advertising offline where the majority of affiliates market on the Internet, and so on.

There’s no doubt about it, at first glance those statistics are a big put off, but look again because they could be the most important information available to help you grow your ClickBank commissions.
