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
  
  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

Common Ways to Promote Products In clickbank

As a ClickBank affiliate, the number of ways you can promote ClickBank products is nearly unlimited. However, to help get you started, here are some of the most common ways that ClickBank affiliates choose to promote products, as well as the pros and cons of each.

Article Marketing

If you’re an affiliate who’s just starting out and doesn’t have a big budget to spend on your advertising initiatives, or if you enjoy writing, article marketing can be a good way to start promoting products without having to spend a lot of money. Your main investment in article marketing will be your time and creativity.

Article marketing is the technique of writing articles that are posted and distributed online for the purpose of driving traffic to a particular website or product you’re promoting. These articles may be posted on sites dedicated specifically to article marketing, such as Ezinearticles or Goarticles, or could be written for an industry-specific website. There are many different styles of these articles, such as expert advice articles, a review of a product, or many other topics.

For example, let’s say you are promoting an ebook about gardening. You could write an article in an online directory that offers readers some advice about a specific topic, like general tips on growing bigger roses. You could then mention that you learned these tips and more from a particular ebook, and that they should check it out if they’d like even more advice. You’d then post your HopLink, so you get credit if someone ends up purchasing the product.

The additional benefit of article marketing is that if your articles are useful enough, you could become recognized as an expert in a particular field, which could end up generating more exposure and sales for you.

Pros: Free; allows for a great deal of creativity, especially if you like writing; if your article gets shared or distributed around the Internet, it can “go viral,” resulting in a great deal of additional free traffic for you
Cons: Time-consuming; may take a lot of effort before you see articles start generating traffic; can be competitive if there are many other people writing on the same topic

Niche Sites & Blogs

Like article marketing, creating niche sites and/or blogs can be another great option for affiliates who have more time and creativity than money. If you do create your own website or self-hosted blog, there may be costs for a domain name and hosting, but these are typically pretty small. There are also many options to get your own site or blog that is hosted for free, though you may be more limited on options like the look and feel of the site or how many pages your site can have.

Once you’ve identified a niche market that you want to promote (such as gardening), you create your own website or blog that is dedicated to this topic. You then write articles for your own site, similar to the types of articles you might write for article marketing directories. The goal is to get free traffic to your website, either by getting linked to from other sites or by ranking well organically in search engines on particular search terms. You can then have HopLinks to a number of different ClickBank products in that niche, giving you the opportunity to promote many different products from a single source.

Creating your own site is especially beneficial for ranking in search engines, as the more articles and content you create, the higher search engines will rank your site. Like article marketing, this technique can take time before you start seeing results, so it’s not something you should expect to show immediate returns, but it can be one of the best ways to create sustainable long-term profits with a minimum of money spent. You can even combine this technique with article marketing or social media marketing, by linking to your site from the bio of your article or social media profile.

Pros: Low cost or free; allows for a great deal of creativity; potential to drive large amounts of traffic through search engines or social media; you can build a “brand” for your website, especially if you host your own site or blog and have a unique domain name
Cons: Time-consuming; may take a lot of effort before you start generating traffic; can be very competitive if there are many other sites in your niche

Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing has exploded in the past few years as a way to advertise and drive free traffic. “Social media” is a very broad term that includes sites and services like Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, social bookmarking sites like Digg and Del.icio.us, Youtube, and many more.

The main benefits of tapping into the power of social media are that it’s free and that your message has the potential to “go viral” and reach a huge amount of people quickly with no extra effort on your part. The difficulties of social media are how to get your voice heard above the millions of other people out there, and how to avoid being seen as a social media “spammer.” The key to being successful promoting products in the social media space is to provide content that’s worthwhile enough for people to actually want to follow you and take your advice when you recommend products.

Pros: Free; easy to get started and participate in; has the potential to reach huge audiences; many potential sites and services to participate in
Cons: Lots of competition on popular services like Twitter; many people on social networks don’t like to be sold to, so there’s the potential to be labeled a spammer

Search Engine Marketing

Search engine marketing is comprised of two main techniques: search engine optimization (SEO) and pay per click advertising (PPC). Each has very different challenges and benefits.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of trying to get your website, blog, or other page (such as an article you’ve written for an article directory) ranked highly in search engines for a particular keyword or phrase. The ultimate goal is to drive free traffic to your website or promotion when someone searches on that keyword. SEO can generate an extremely good return for you, but often requires a significant investment of up-front time to learn good SEO techniques and apply these to your work. However, the long-term benefits of creating content that ranks well in search engines can be extraordinarily profitable.

Pros: Typically free; can drive huge amounts of traffic; has long-term returns
Cons: Steep learning curve; search engine positions change regularly, so results can be inconsistent; may take a long time before you see results, if at all; competitive

Pay per click advertising (PPC) is the practice of placing paid advertisements in search engine results for a particular keyword or phrase. You agree to pay a certain amount if someone searches on a keyword and clicks on your advertisement. Many very successful affiliates pay to advertise on the search engines, as the main benefit is highly-targeted traffic, but the downside is that it can cost a significant amount of money and requires a great deal of testing and experimentation to find profitable keywords, ad copy, etc. It can also be very competitive, so PPC can be a difficult and expensive tactic for affiliates who are just starting out.

Pros: Quick to get up and running; popular keywords can drive a great deal of traffic quickly; you can target highly relevant, well-qualified traffic
Cons: Can be extremely expensive; highly competitive; search engines (especially Google) have many rules about what affiliate promotions are acceptable; usually require a great deal of research, attention, and oversight, especially early on, to be profitable

These are just a few of the many ways you can effectively promote ClickBank products. ClickBank affiliates are constantly finding new and innovative ways to promote products and expand their reach. Hopefully this list will help get you started, but we’ve only scratched the surface. The best way to discover what will work for you and your niche is to get out there and start experimenting!
