3 Important Clickbank Affiliate Marketing Tips

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!

In another article I talked about the 6 online business models you can use to start your internet business. These models are very successful, but of the 6 the easiest is (in my opinion) the affiliate marketing business model.

This is because it takes a lot of the pressure off of you. You want to get a website going and you want to get your website selling something as soon as possible. The real truth is at first you’re not trying to get rich online, you’re just looking for a way to make a few bucks and someday…hopefully… be able to quit your day job, right?

Well, allow me to introduce you to the affiliate marketing business model. It truly is the easiest way to get your website online and selling fast. Here’s how it works.

Basically, you are NOT gong to sell your own products. And this makes life a whole lot easier. You don’t have to write an ebook, record audios, or really have a lot of creative output to make money online. This is what stops most people I talk to. They want to start an online business but they don’t want to have to write a book.

This solves that problem for you. Instead of creating a selling your own product, with the affiliate marketing business model you’ll be selling someone elses product. Cool point # 2 is that you also don’t have to figure out a way to collect payments. You don’t need a payment processor or a merchant account.

Even further, if you want to REALLY get down to it, you don’t even have to have a website to do your selling. You can practice the art of direct linking. This is a sneaky tactic where you act as a middle man between an affiliate product and an advertiser. This works well in forums where you turn your signature link to your affiliate link for another product.

I’ve done this with banner ads. It works out like this. Let’s say you have a banner ad out there and you’re paying 50 cents per click. This is higher than I’d like but it’s good for math’s sake. Now, when people click this banner you can send them directly to an affiliate website. Let’s say this affiliate website pays you $10 every time one of your clicks buys their product.

How many clicks does it take to get a sale? Let’s say 20 clicks = 1 sale. Pretty tough to get that, but keeping it simple. That means that if you get 20 clicks (x) 50 cents per click = $10.00. You then earned $10.00. So you’re breaking even. Not good. You need to do better. So, looking at the math you only have 2 options.

1) Get a cheaper cost for each click

2) Make more money per affiliate sale

It’s not rocket science. It’s really just common sense. That’s what makes the affiliate marketing business model online website selling the easiest to start with. You aren’t responsible for the hard stuff. You’re only real focus is on getting traffic to the offer. I’ll have more on that at a later time.

In the meantime, focus on 2 things. Go to Clickbank (google it) and look for affiliate product offers. Go to Alexa and search for sites where you can actually advertise. Go to top sites and search for category. Obviously, there’s more to this then I can cover in this article, but this will get you going.

All you have to do is spend less than you make. If you can do that, then you are basically printing money on demand. There’s also FREE way to drive traffic. Look for more articles on that later on.
