ClickBank Beginner Tips to Guide You to Success

Thousands of people are making a full time income promoting Clickbank products these days. Can you be one of them? In this Clickbank guide we'll give you 4 Clickbank beginner tips to help you get going.

1. Pick the right products

You shouldn't just promote the first product you run into. The Clickbank marketplace should be your basic start point. Search for the niche you are interested in, and look for high gravity products that pay at least 50% commissions.

You'd also be well advised to use services that track the performance history of Clickbank products. These provide much more detailed and valuable data than the Clickbank Marketplace.

2. Set up a presell page

As any decent Clickbank guide will tell you, you'll see better sales conversions by first directing people to your own page, where you may have content like a review of the product you're selling. Just sending traffic straight to the vendor's site is a lazy way to do things, and yields lower conversions than a well constructed presell page almost without fail.

3. Capture email addresses

You work hard for your traffic, so don't let a prospect be lost to you once they leave your page. Set up an autoresponder that can capture leads. You can use an automated series of follow-up emails to keep telling your prospects about the product you're promoting. The more times you expose someone to a product, the more likely they are to buy.

4. Don't give up too soon

Don't send 50 visitors to your presell page and then quit if you haven't made a sale yet. That's not enough visitors with which to establish a sales pattern. After about 1,000 visitors you should have a much better idea of whether the product will be profitable for you or not. Many people quit too soon - don't be one of them.

What is an Affiliate?

An affiliate is someone who promotes a product or service to potential customers, in exchange for a commission on the sale when one occurs.

For example, let’s say Alan is an avid gardener. He buys a great ebook through ClickBank about growing bigger roses, and wants to recommend it to others. He signs up for a free account with ClickBank, then finds the ebook about roses in the ClickBank Marketplace and creates a customized HopLink. He posts this HopLink in places where he thinks people would be interested in the ebook, such as a gardening forum he’s a member of, his gardening blog, his Facebook profile, even in an email to some of his gardener friends. The possibilities really are limitless.

If someone clicks on his HopLink to learn more about the ebook and ends up purchasing it, Alan gets a generous commission on the sale— as much as 75%, depending on the product!

Being a ClickBank affiliate is completely free, and takes only minutes to sign up. The best part is that Alan can promote as many ClickBank products as he wants, with no limitations. He also finds and promotes an ebook about how to attract hummingbirds to your garden, and eventually starts promoting products for other topics he’s interested in. ClickBank handles all of the payment processing and commission tracking, so Alan can spend his time finding and promoting great products (as well as gardening, of course).

Commissions range from 1% to 75% and are determined by the product vendor. The minimum commission for a single sale is $0.25, and the maximum is $150. If you promote recurring billing products, you can even earn recurring commissions from the time of purchase until the subscription is completed or canceled.
