Affiliate Marketing Blog |

I am looking for one or more affiliate program from clickbank who can provide me keywords, landing pages, squeeze pages, autoresponder messages, follow up messages etc. to help me creating ppc campaigns. Can anybody help me in finding those programs from clickbank?

When you go into the marketplace at Clickbank, look for the little icons under the merchant’s listing. If there is one that looks like a light or two crossed tools, then most likely that merchant has what you are looking for.

I’m giving you a link to one page in Clickbank, scroll to the bottom of the page and you will see the merchant ‘Stock Assault", look under their information. They have the icons that show you they have all kinds of tools you can use as their affiliate. I’m not promoting them or telling you to promote them either, they were just the first merchant with the icons I wanted you to notice:)

I am willing to do whatever it takes to make an income, I am imprisoned at home with a baby and an abusive husband, there is absolutely no way I can go out to work right now, the only thing I have access on is a computer. Is affiliate marketing real? Should I spend time on it?

Hey Tiger,

Sorry to hear about your abusive husband and current situation. I myself am imprisoned (in a different way) - can’t find "normal" 9 to 5 work, and was turned onto internet marketing years ago.

Like you, I first thought it was a scam and too good to be true. That’s because of all the hype that these marketers do…$1,000 in 24/hrs! How I made $1,267,313 in one year from affiliate marketing on Clickbank!

Certainly, those things DO happen, but they are not typical and cannot be expected. So you need to first sort reality from fantasy.

Here’s the fantasy: Work just a couple hours a day, clicking a few buttons, and within one week, you’ll have reach job-quitting status income.

Here’s reality: affiliate marketing and Clickbank ARE REAL, but it’s not a get rich quick scheme. You have to pour in hours of work each day, especially as a beginner when you’re first learning it. It took me almost 3 months to make my first few sales. I probably worked 200+ hours to make those first few sales ($150 total). But I was new, and didn’t know what I was doing.

Is 200 hrs worth $150? Of course not, but that wasn’t what I gained out of it. I gained the experience and knowledge, so my next sites would be 100x easier and faster, and even more profitable.

So let me explain how affiliate marketing and Clickbank work for real.

Clickbank is an affiliate network, where people who have created their own products to sell submit their product (called an offer) to the network. Then affiliates search through all the available offers on Clickbank, choose one they like and seems promising. They go out and promote the chosen product via websites, ads, etc. and if someone buys the product through the affiliate’s link/site, the affiliate will earn a commission, a cut of the total sale price.

Different products/vendors offer different commission rates, up to 75%. So if you sell a product for $100, you can make anywhere from $50-75. Well, Clickbank also takes a small percentage fee too, so maybe a little less than that.

The hard work comes from learning how to promote these products well. If you’re not careful, you can lose a lot of money. Many beginners are scared to invest money upfront, so they go the free route of SEO (search engine optimization), the art of getting your website to show up in the first page of Google when someone searches for a term (called a keyword).

There are many other methods of promotion, each with their pros and cons.

This blog post explains what those various methods are, including the pros and cons of each:

Again, I’ll repeat, affiliate marketing IS NOT easy get rich quick. But it IS convenient and anyone can do it from home with an internet connection. It takes dedication, but the rewards are tremendous: freedom of finances, freedom of time (after you’ve learned to automate the workflow), freedom from stress.

I was looking to possibly try out becoming an affiliate at clickbank.com. However, I was wondering if there was any simple way to create a website for my affiliate purposes. I would appreciate any help from somebody who has gone through this as well. Also, I’m looking for this help to be free of charge, so dont just give me an affiliate link to a website builder please. Thank You!

There are some 100,000 clickbank affiliates, many of whom have never made a sale, those who succeed in a big way get ahead using paid advertising or offering incentive bonuses to gain a competitive edge for high paying products.

Owning your own domain name(s) hosted on paid hosting is the professional, long term way to go, but if your just getting your feet wet, you might experiment with free approaches.

The "little guy" can place affiliate links on some free blogging services, I believe Blogger owned by Google is fairly tolerant, and gives you all the adsense income the site earns. I would suggest creating blogs that are lazer focused on one particular topic containing original material, given months it might rank on the search engines for less common search terms. You may have the only article on "selling betty boop collectibles on ebay" so when a few people a month search for that phrase, your page and ebay marketing affiliate links comes up in the search engine.

I am using facebook to do affiliate marketing. I am getting many clicks but no commissions. I am a clickbank affiliate. I am wondering if it could be foul play from clickbank or what. Or what could be working against me? facebook demographics or malwares. I have cloaked my links with bit.ly.

1. Make sure you put your tracking code in correctly. This may result in you seeing no conversions. (Keep in mind not all traffic will be tracked due to javascript off/on, cookies off/on, proxy servers etc.)

2. You should definitely watch your traffic closely and try to determine your non-Adwords conversion rate then compare it to your Adwords traffic conversion.

3. I too am concerned about the quality of traffic from "Content sites". As the owners(publishers) of the content sites are making their daily updates or simply checking out their web sites they *could* be motivated to click your link a few times a hour, day or whatever to increase their monthly checks from Google. Obviously, they would have to keep the volume low or they would easily be detected and removed from the program.

The problem here is that if your links are showing on several hundred content sites, then 1 click per day by each publisher would cost you much $$ and you would see absolutely no sales and the Google AI would not "see" anything wrong with this scenario.

CJ.com and most other affiliate programs are pay for performance, not pay for traffic models. my guess is that eventually Adwords content providers will move this way and Google should only pay publishers for conversions, not clicks. Google has the tools already in place to move to this model so we shall see. Meanwhile be very diligent to measure the quality of your content site traffic.

4. Testing is the only real way to know. Run your campaigns for a week with content search on (Sun-Sat) then a week with content search off(Sun-Sat)and compare the weekly results. The Google reporting tools are just great so you can easily measure the trends,hits, conversions and you should quickly see what’s working.

Good luck,

I am interested in joining clickbank.com. Is there anyone out there who has tried it and can give some tips on how to work this program?
It looks like it is pretty legit; but I would like some other opinions.

I assume what you are asking for is an ebook; if so you need to realize that the writer will lose hard earned money because of you effectively stealing from them.

So many people in online business are completely corrupt. Do your own research >:( You’re adding to the scammers out there, man.

I need to know where to get a good website or how to build one, any suggestions?

I suggest you learn from the experts in your selected field by modeling their site designs. Enter your specialty in a search engine, then visit the site that come out high in the search results. those in the organic search result will tend to have original helpful text content that the search engines judges as valuable. While the paid search results at the top and right of google results will tend to show more direct sale pitches, though quality score requirements now force them to include some relevant useful stuff.

Some free blog services allow you to use the blog for marketing, check their TOS.

It’s easiest to get search ranking for a narrow specific niche, it’s even helpful to include the subject in the domain name. To rate free search engine traffic you would need to create original articles on the subject, perhaps 6 for starters, then continue to add new content a coupe of times a week. A site attracting decent traffic might make a little on the side from adsense and banner ads.

Various incentives have been used to entice visitors to buy through your link instead of the competitors. Throwing in a plr book is of marginal value. Providing original valuable bonus material, like a 10 page supplement that fills in the low points of the affiliate product might attract more attention. Some people go a far as offering affiliate buyers support, like configuring websites, reviewing their site design.

Yes you can but it’s getting more difficult.

Squidoo is getting stricter and there are many product categories that they discouraged.
examples:
- pharmaceutical
- weight loss and dieting
- medical cures for yeast infection, snoring, hair loss, augmentation, asthma etc
- getting ex back
- gambling and poker
- ringtone
- credit card debt, cash gifting, envelope stuffing, mortgages, currency trading, Forex,

I’ve set up my campaign on google adwords for my product and am getting 20-30 clicks perday on my $15 budget for the last week, but no sales! Everytime I log in to my adwords account I see a lot of clicks, but when I log in to my clickbank account all I see are 0’s. I’m pretty sure i’ve set everything up right and i’m getting clicks, but not making ANY money. Can someone help me?
