Clickbank Affiliate Marketing Tips

Many affiliates are led to believe that easy money and instant riches are a sure bet when you sell products via the Clickbank marketplace. I can tell you from years of experience and lots of work with individual marketers, that it’s not always as easy as it seems.

Before I give you  my top 3 tips, let me tell you why you might want to listen to me. I’ve been on the “inside” of the clickbank marketplace since 2007 and know many of the top vendors, especially in the “home biz” or internet marketing niche. I myself am a Clickbank top 100 Vendor which is cool because I can call Clickbank whenever I have questions or need to fast track a product for approval.

So, when I give you these tips for improving your clickbank affiliate sales, you can rest assured I’m not just making them up. These are non-negotiable.

Clickbank Affiliate Marketing Tip 1

Choose wisely.

There are many different categories of products for sale. And most people in the affiliate marketing world only look at the e-business and e-marketing section. This is only 1 area of Clickbank. There are so many others. Look around and study the gravity of products. Gravity means “how many people are promoting this product.”

In general, the higher the gravity the better. However, there is a point where gravity is so high, you will face stiff competition. I’ve seen that products with a gravity around 50 (trending up) usually convert for me.

Work Backwards.

Look for what is already selling in clickbank. Let that be how you choose your niche. If there’s a product selling in Clickbank with a decent gravity (100+) then you can know for certain that it is indeed a profitable niche. From that point, work backwards to create your marketing strategy.

Let the successful product teach you what people are looking for. See how they are writing their copy. Watch their videos. Then, build your campaigns around that. If you’re running facebook ads, use some of the proven sales letter copy that is already making sales. Simple, really.

Build A List.

I can’t stress this one enough. If you are going to go through all the trouble of setting up a marketing campaign, keyword research, and all the work it takes to find a profitable converting product… then PLEASE don’t short change yourself by not building a list for yourself. This can be done by just sending your clicks to a squeeze page.

Up front, your conversion might be a little bit lower than just sending them directly to a sales letter… but ultimately you’ll make more money because you can now promote other clickbank products to those people again and again.

It’s simple math.

So, there you have it. 3 Simple tips for affiliate marketing with Clickbank products. Now, get out there and sell something!
