The primary advantage of
Click Bank - aside from the fact that’s a virtual gold mine for affiliates - is
the innate simplicity of using and implementing it.
Once you join Click Bank
(for free), you’ll have your own personal ID which in turn will be included in
any of your product affiliate links.
For example, if your
ClickBank ID is “softsell” and the product owner’s ID is “eproducts”, your
affiliate URL address would be…
To find products that fit
your niche market or target audience, all you need to do is visit the ClickBank
Marketplace (when you first get to the website, click on “Earn Commissions”).
The marketplace divides
the products into main categories…
Clicking on any of those
category links will allow you to drill down even farther. For example, if you
click on Health & Fitness, you’ll receive a list of sub-categories that
include Addiction, Fitness, Beauty, Nutrition, Diet, Medicine, and Mental
Health.
The first ten listings in
each category are the top affiliate earners. This allows you to see at a glance
which products are making the most amount of money for their affiliates. But
that doesn’t mean you should choose any of the top ten.
Sometimes it’s much more
productive to go with one of the lower listings and then make it a top earner
for you personally. For one thing, you won’t have as much competition.
Secondly, it will force you to get a bit more creative with your marketing and
promotion.
Of course, the basic
product selection criteria still applies here. With any product you’re
considering, for example, you still need to click over to their sales page and
establish how good it will be in converting prospects to buyers.
Aside from evaluating the
sales copy, you also need to make certain that the sales process doesn’t
sabotage your own efforts. Things like…
·Allowing people to purchase through alternative
methods which would bypass or exclude your ClickBank affiliate link.
·Selling various non-related products on the same
page.
·Products are being sold on the same page but the
link doesn’t give credit to your ClickBank affiliate ID.
·Names and email addresses are being captured by
the owner for future follow-up which could rob you of your rightful affiliate
commission.
Overall, you want to see a
nice clean sales page that is focused on the one ClickBank product you’re
promoting and nothing else.
If the sales page doesn’t
do that - and it’s diluted with all sorts of other things that benefit the
owner but not you - pass on the product and find one that is worth your time
and effort.
Once you’ve chosen the
“right” products, you’ll need to begin marketing and promotion. And since
there’s no more effective and profitable method than using pay per click, the
perfect money-making combination is ClickBank affiliate products and Google
AdWords advertising.
The power of AdWords is
undeniable. It allows you the ability to…
·advertise directly to highly targeted audiences
·display your ad almost immediately
·start bringing in money almost immediately
·link directly to any landing page
·keep accurate and highly advanced ad statistics
Of course, the success of
your AdWords campaigns will be dependent almost entirely on the strength of the
keywords you’ve selected.
Keep in mind that the
winning formula is to choose keywords that are widely searched for but have
little or no competition. In order to conduct that type of research, you have
two choices… invest a great deal of time sorting through all the data, or
simply use Ad Word Analyzer ( http://www.adwordanalyzer.com ).
Right away, you’ll have a
comprehensive list of all search terms that are related to any keyword you
input. You’ll also know how many searches were conducted on all of those
phrases and how many AdWords campaigns already exist (your competition).
But rather than simply use
Ad Word Analyzer to find good keywords, you can also use it to find the best
markets. Even before you locate any products. Then, once you’ve unveiled the
most promising campaign possibilities, you can use ClickBank to locate specific
items to promote.
