3 Tips When Using Clickbank

Clickbank is a website that acts as a hub for selling digital products, particularly eBooks, and other resource software. These digital products are so high in demand, because you can purchase them when you need them, plus they can also definitely be used when learning about a lot of things.

There are so many products on Clickbank, but generally, they are guides on doing something online: "How To Use Social Media for Marketing," "How To Convince People to buy 30 pairs of Shoes a Month"…or something even more profound. Whatever the product is, it can be received ASAP, without waiting. This is highly profitable to a seller, since money comes by fast - and the numbers of sales are unlimited.

Its main advantage is that it incurs zero overhead. Since it is a digital product, you have no need to pay printing costs - like all physical hard copy books, nor do you need to pay for shipping. All you need to do is to convince the buyer to purchase your product online, then you immediately get almost the entire sales proceeds - except for a very nominal Clickbank fee.

The fact that digital sales are almost pure profit, other sellers up their profit possibilities even more by utilizing Clickbank affiliate programs. These are outside parties which enter the entire selling process, and help the original seller sell even more products. It's like hiring several helping hands who do all the dirty work. Sellers usually create websites, and then pass on the website to affiliates so that they can sell as much as they can, as long as they want, at the pace they prefer. This entire process, if successful, translates to a mini-fortune in sales - even if the original seller/developer of the product does not lift a finger to do the actual selling. He can then just concentrate on creating eBooks to add to his list of digital material which can be purchased. Imagine that?

This "unlimited possibility for earning" feature is the main reason why Clickbank has become one of the leading websites, especially to those who are looking into opening an internet marketing business. It is so versatile, because you can sell anything, anytime. You can continually add to your list of products - especially if you are an expert on producing excellent digital guides.

To be really successful though, you must keep in mind a few tips.

Choose a niche/product that is not too common so that you will stand out. Even if you have great material, if you have too many competitors out seeking the same set of buyers, then you will have the extra problem of competing for sales. If you, however, offer one-of-a-kind digital products, this type of stress brought by too much competition is eliminated. Try to be as unique as possible.

Create products which you know people need. Material on relationships, online gaming, making money, and how to train dogs are all highly-needed, and would therefore be much more sought out than other less-relevant and dispensable advice. These topics are so immediately sought by people, for example, who just broke up with their partners, desperate, and depressed - and would therefore want immediate answers. They could play an eBook on their car player on their way home from a breakup. Or a dog who has been making himself such a nuisance to his owner will most likely have another desperate master who needs answers fast. Relevance and a sense of emergency are the two keywords you must take into consideration when choosing products to sell. 

Present products in a unique, attractive manner. This is where great marketing skills come in. The really savvy advertisers and marketers know how to properly promote products in a way that makes then hard to resist. There are just too many items out there for purchase which buyers overlook, simply because presentation is poor, that it merits no interest. If a potential buyer is at your door, then do everything to entice him to buy - before he changes his mind.

How to Promote Clickbank Products

Clickbank is a database that contains thousands of digital products, and these digital products are sold by Clickbank publishers, but also are promoted heavily by Clickbank affiliate marketers. In return for promoting products, affiliates who are successful and achieve sales will receive a commission from the Clickbank products. There are many ways to promote these types of affiliate products, and here are a few suggestions if you would like to try your hand at Clickbank affiliate marketing.

Instructions
Promoting Clickbank Products Using Article Marketing

1
Decide which Clickbank product you would like to promote by going to Clickbank's "Marketplace" and choosing a product that you like or you think that will be succesful.

2
Click the button beneath the product you have chosen that says "create hoplink" in order to generate an affliate link that you will need for Step 6.

3
Compile a list of keywords by using one of the many Internet keyword tools on the Internet (a few examples include WordTracker, Google Adwords' Keyword Tool, and Trellian's Keyword Discovery). Your goal with doing keyword research is to find popular phrases that relate to the product you are promoting and that are searched by Internet consumers.

4
Choose two to four keywords from the list you have compiled and write a series of 5 to 10 short articles (around 400 to 500 words) based around those terms. These articles can be informative, humorous, or even serious. They should relate to the issue of the product you are promoting, but should not be written directly as sales articles or copy. While writing the articles, make sure to include the specific keywords you have chosen at least two to five times.

5
Submit the articles you have written to one of the many article directories on the Internet (EzineArticles and GoArticles are two popular examples). While submitting your articles, make sure to note the author's resource or "biography" box.

6
Create your author's resource or "biography" box by writing a short sentence about yourself or the Clickbank product you are promoting, and include your affiliate link that was generated in Step 2. Use a word or phrase to hyperlink your affiliate link, if desired.

7
Repeat Steps 2 through 6 for each Clickbank product you would like to promote.

Using Social Websites, Blogs, and Forums to Promote Clickbank Products
8
Create affiliate hoplinks for all the products you would like to promote the same way this was done in Step 2 of the previous section.

9
Decide which social networking websites you'd like to use to promote your Clickbank products. All of them can be used, but several specific examples (Squidoo and Myspace) will be explained in the following Steps.

10
Create a Squidoo Lens for each of the Clickbank products you'd like to promote. This can be done by adding any articles of your choice, writing sales copy or reviews of the Clickbank products, or even having customer testimonials on your site about the products. However, every piece of content that's added should relate to your affiliate product and keywords in some way, and your affiliate link should be scattered throughout the page as well in order to give potential buyers ample chance to click it and buy the product.

11
Create a Myspace profile by registering with the website and including helpful information for your "Myspace friends" and visitors.

12
Send bulletins and notices to all of your friends on the Myspace network (or any other social network site) that includes your affiliate link and a short writing piece (a testimonial or review). Make sure that you use your account for personal use as "Spam" is frowned upon.

13
Create a free blog that is either solely related to one of the Clickbank products you have decided to promote, or make a free blog that is devoted to reviewing many Clickbank products. Anything can be included in blogs, such as product reviews, testimonials, and even informational articles, but everything should include relevant keywords and affiliate links.

14
Join forums and message boards that are related to each Clickbank product. For example, if you are promoting a weight loss product then you should join a weight loss forum or message board; the same thing goes for other categories as well, such as gaming forums, technology forums, and webmaster forums.

15
Place your affiliate links in your "signature" that you're allowed to have in each forum or message board and post helpful threads and messages in the boards daily so that the forum members will have plenty of chances to see your affiliate links and buy the Clickbank products.

Tips & Warnings
To increase the chances that your affiliate link will be clicked, you can use "link cloaking" or domain masking techniques so that potential buyers won't know they are buying an affiliate product or going to an affiliate's sales page.

Some article directories do not allow direct affiliate links within an author's resource or "bio" box. If this is the case, you can purchase your own domain name and forward it to your affiliate link page using either the server your website is hosted with or the registrar your domain is registered to.

How to Make Clickbank Money

If you want to make Clickbank money you can. In fact, this is where most internet marketers get their feet wet. That's because it's so easy to become an affiliate. The problem comes when the newbie marketer sets up a Blogger blog or Squidoo lens and puts in a hoplink and says ta da that's it! Or so they think. Sorry, it doesn't work like that except on rare occasions.

Instructions

    • 1
      Clickbank Product
      There are hundreds of internet marketers that make Clickbank money. However, most of them have years of experience and know how it's done. In fact, many of them sell their own product on the Clickbank site.
      Just in case you aren't up to speed on Clickbank, it's a site that sells only digital products, which is great; soon as you buy the product you can download it.
    • 2
      Ezine Articles
      As mentioned above, you can either make money by selling your own product or be an affiliate for someone else's product. Yes, you can build a blog/site and drive traffic to it and make sales, but it's not as easy as it sounds. First of all, the best way to get traffic is with article marketing, therefore, you need to be a good writer.
      The next step is write articles and submit them to article directories then when people read the article and click on your link it takes them to the site.
      The king/queen of article directories is Ezine Articles this is where you submit articles first, then once they accept them you can submit them elsewhere.
    • 3
      Warrior Forum
      Learning how to write convincing pre-sell is the first task at hand. You will need plenty of practice, it takes hundreds of articles to make consistent money online with article marketing. I recommend Travis Sago's free ebook he's the king of bum marketing; just google his name or bum marketing and you'll find him.
      All of this takes time and patience, but it will pay off if you don't give up. It will also benefit you to join the Warrior forum, so you can learn from savvy internet marketers how they make Clickbank money. There's more info in the WF on internet marketing than anywhere online.
    • 4
      Website
      If you don't know how to create a website you can pay someone else to do it or buy a site on site point that's ready to go. There are web designers in both the Digital and Warrior forums that can have you a site up and running in no time.
      However, before you invest money make sure you invest time learning basics. Don't spend money foolishly, there's too many scams online, so you need to research and make wise decisions.
    • 5
      CBMall
      You can also make Clickbank money using a Clickbank Mall(CBMall) script on your site. Then you will have tons of products to sell and promote. It's also a good idea to join the Clickbank forum, so that you can keep up on the latest news and share ideas.
      There's been some controversy over commissions at Clickbank on them being hijacked or whatever, so it's best to cloak your links. There's also a lot of refunds since there are a few scammy products sold on Clickbank. Therefore, it would be wise to research/review products before you market them.
      Finally, anyone who is willing to work hard can make money with Clickbank as long as they're patient and persistent. You will also need to be committed to the ongoing study and research of internet marketing.

Earning Commissions and Getting Paid

If you’re new to affiliate marketing, the idea of earning commissions for promoting other people’s products can be both exciting and confusing. How do you know how much you’ll earn? How is the sale tracked and reported? When will you get paid for the sales you’ve driven?

Understanding Commissions


Here’s a simple overview of how ClickBank commissions work:

  1. You find a product to promote and create a customized HopLink.
  2. You promote the product online.
  3. A customer clicks on your HopLink, goes to the vendor’s website, and ends up purchasing the product.
  4. The customer purchases the product from ClickBank and you receive credit for promoting the sale.
  5. Your commission is calculated based on the net sale price (see below) and credited to your account within two minutes of the sale.

How Commissions Are Calculated and Reported


Every ClickBank product has a commission rate that is set by the vendor, ranging from 1% to 75%. When you drive a sale to that product, ClickBank processes the sale, applies its charges, then calculates the commission rate based on the remaining net sale amount. Here’s an example of how much you’ll earn on a one-time purchase product with a 55% commission rate:

Retail Price: $29.95
Subtract 7.5% + $1: -$3.25
Net Sale Amount: $26.70
55% of Remainder: $14.69

Therefore, as the referring affiliate for this sale, you would earn $14.69.

Commissions for recurring billing products are slightly different. See Promoting Recurring Billing Products for details.

The maximum commission you can earn on a single sale is $150.

Getting Paid


Obviously, the goal of being an affiliate is to get paid for your efforts. To receive your first commission payment, there are two requirements:

  1. You must reach your payment threshold, which you set in your Account Settings.
  2. You must meet the Customer Distribution Requirement.

For more details about these requirements, please see our Accounting Policy.

Once you’ve met these two requirements, you can start receiving payments. For more details about ClickBank’s payment schedule see Paychecks.

If you’re located in an eligible country, once you’ve received two paper checks from ClickBank within a 12-week time period, you can start receiving payment via direct deposit. Once you become eligible for direct deposit, you can specify this as your payment method in Account Settings->Payment Information. If you are not within a country supported by direct deposit you may be eligible to receive wire payments.

Refunds and Chargebacks


One question you may have is whether you will still receive your affiliate commission if the product is returned or if the customer requests a chargeback on the purchase. Unfortunately, the answer is no. All money is returned to the customer, so the vendor and affiliate must return their portions of the sale as well.

Because of the 60-day return period for all ClickBank products, we utilize a return allowance to cover the possibility of returns.

FAQ


Q: I misspelled my ClickBank nickname in my HopLink and I know I’ve made sales! Can I get that money?

A: Possibly. If the misspelled nickname you used belongs to another ClickBank user, we cannot transfer that money to your account. However, if the misspelled nickname does not belong to anyone else, you can contact customer service for access to that account. All sales made using that nickname will be listed in the account’s sales reporting, even though the account did not exist when the sales were made. However, we cannot transfer money from that account to your main account.

Q: Can vendors cheat affiliates by “undoing” the commission on a sale, or by pretending that a sale was returned?

A: No. Unlike some other affiliate networks, ClickBank handles all sales processing and commission tracking, so vendors cannot attempt to avoid paying commission on a sale. If a vendor approves a refund on a sale, they lose their portion of the sale as well, so there is no incentive for them to pretend that a sale has been refunded.
