Many of you have heard of Clickbank and maybe you have ever made digital product purchase here . Clickbank is one of biggest retailer which is dedicated to selling digital products such as software, website plugin, ebooks,.. I like the automation process when buying via Clickbank as I donot have to wait for the transaction completed. You can get your stuff right way after the payment is verified. There are two main methods to make money at Clickbank, The first is selling your own product and the second is selling as an affiliate . In this post, I focus on the methods two, affiliate marketing. This is easy, you just need to build a website, publish some real review on the products you have used. When someone make a purchase, you will get a commission for that sale. If you donot have a blog yet, you can start creating one at a free service like Blogspot . At blogspot you donot to pay yearly hosting fee, even the domain name, yes, use the free domain offered by blogspot ,too Or you can build a professional self-hosted wordpress websites to get more powerful functions for affiliate business. Unlike the PTC business model, you can earn up to 75% commission shared at Clickbank. It works much better on the long run compared with PTC ads model. More than 80% of successful business blogger donot rely on adsence or 1 specific PTC network as the payout is so low and risky when the ads account is disabled. With PTC ads like adsence, you donot know the real commission for each sale but it is very clear for affiliate. The commission ratio is around from 20% to 75% for different kinds of products Now, let's start to learn how to run Clickbank affiliate business at no cost to implement. Step 1: The first step is Signing up for an account at Clickbank Yes, It's free Just Click on the "Sign up" in the navigator at Homepage and follow the instructions Step 2: Choose the right products Login with your account to go to the Marketplace to pick a category that you have passion for or you have enough knowledge for it. Nowm you should choose at least 5 products to promote. Try to pick products that is offered with the commission sharing about 50% and the price should not be over $100 I recommend that you need to choose product with high quality, it is produced by a gurus in the Niche. Promoting good product will build your brand and trust from the audience. Step 3: Analyze the main keywords based on the product name Analyze the main keywords (the target market is searching for) that are driving traffic towards your website on Google Webmaster Tools, this is a free tools from Google. For example, if I am running a SEO service, I provide inspirational articles on how to optimize the SEO for higher ranking on search engines, so when I try to promote SEO service or SEO tools, it was a hit as the market is hungry for this kind of product. Look for the types of Long tail keywords people would likely use when searching for solutions to the problem they are having. Example, if the product is a weight loss guide, people may search with the following keyword queries: buy (product name), (product name) review, is (product name) a scam, etc. Step 4: Write at least five articles about each of the 5 products. This is where it pays off to have selected products from the same category. You can send an email to the vendor for a trial version to write a real review or make a purchase to test the product, if it does not work like the advertisement, you can request for a refund. Strive to have at least 90% original content in each article, 10% information you can do a research on the sale page or from the customers using products. It then goes on to describe the product's features. Finally, the product is given your own review and you explain how the product will have both value and utility to the readers. Doing this will help you build more trust. Step 5: Promote Thirdly, submit the articles to free article directories, this is a primary promoting methods. Wait for your articles to be indexed in the search engine and then submit your articles to article directory sites such as this one.There are hundreds of article directories, but only submit your articles to the 10 top popular ones. Remember: Make sure that you include links back to your article advert in the footer. Do it all again and make money with ClickBank using different products. Have Patience, Most of the publishers and bloggers lack patience.They try to promote a product, after some 20-30 clicks the affiliate links, they gets nothing, they start comparing affiliate business with PPC.Try to target readers from developed countries like US, UK etc.
