Get Started Making Money With Clickbank
Author: Maria FairhamIf you have ever wondered how to make money on the very popular digital marketplace known as Clickbank, then you have found the source. My goal is to get you making some money and then having you brag to your friends.
Clickbank is the largest online marketplace for digital products, most notably, e-books and electronic services such as web hosting and web design. There are "Publishers" and "Affiliates." Publishers are the people that have a product to sell and have created a sales page to promote and sell this product. Affiliates are people who promote a publishers product with their own website or blog etc. Affiliates, in return for their hard work, get a percentage of the sale, also known as commission.
Signing up at Clickbank as an affiliate is free and takes just a few minutes. Publishers have to pay a fee to be allowed to sell their product, but that's another article. We are going to focus on affiliate marketing. To get started sign up for free at Clickbank under the affiliates tab and within minutes you'll be done and ready to go. You may want to create a separate e-mail address (Yahoo Mail or Gmail) to handle your online business to keep things simple. Once you have signed up at Clickbank, open up another window in your browser and go to any blogging site (Blogger, Word press etc.) and sign up for free there as well. Go back to the Clickbank window and look in the upper right-hand corner and you will see "Marketplace," click to go to the marketplace and you will see different categories and sub-categories. The key here is to find a product that you are interested in and that you would consider buying.
An example would be, I am interested in aquariums and tropical fish. I would then browse through the Clickbank marketplace and find an e-book provided by a publisher about aquariums and tropical fish. Under each publishers product, there is a link that says "Create Hoplink." Once clicked it will then ask for your nickname (which you would have filled out while signing up for Clickbank) after entering your nickname and continuing on, you will then be provided a "hoplink." Copy the hoplink and then go back to the blogger window.
In blogger, create a new blog with the name similar to the product you are promoting. A tropical fish e-book product could be called "supersawesometropicalfish." Once created, write in your blog as much as you know about the product your promoting. You can gather information about it with articles and other web pages or books. Just make sure that it is your own writing. Copying other people work will only lead to trouble. Include the link from Clickbank in your blog and Viola!! You now have a published blog promoting a product that can generate income. There is no limit how many different blogs and products you can promote. Once you are done celebrating, you need to start thinking about how you are going to get people to view this blog. The more people that view this blog, the more sales you are likely to generate.
The option that I have found effective is article marketing, EzineArticles is a great source to write articles about what product you are promoting. I do want to stress that you can't write a huge sales pitch and expect a lot of views. You need to actually produce quality content that make people want to continue on to your blog (which you can promote in the "resources" box.) Other options on promote your blog is through You Tube, MySpace, Facebook, Free Advertising Online and finally your very own website. The great thing about articles is that people can publish them on their pages or blogs and you get even more exposure.
