Thread: Increasing Sales from Clickbank

I actually quite new to clickbank program but after 2-3 mths seem to have no results.... Any successful forumer here cah share his/her tips to increase clickbank sale

One, just putting up links and banners won't do the trick.
Two, advertise.

Now where I get my clickbank income is mostly from my blogs.
I review products, with a link to that product.

Plus my two clickbank storefronts.

thanks... Clickbank seem more popular than paydotcom

True, when paydotcom first started, I used them both for selling and for getting my products sold.
In the first 6 to 9 months, when I gave up on them, I got zip sales and zip affiliates.

Seems at the point I quit, everyone was there just for affililates.

research the product you are promoting good, would you purchase this product? would you recomend it to your family if they were looking for something of this type? Dont just post any ad. Checkout the site @ ripoffreport.com and bbb.com. being behind the computer gives alot of business a false sense of security about things such as this, you can rip people off without even realizing it.

I just don't get clickbank - maybe it's just me

thanks for sharing the value information

As I understand it, Clickbank pays you directly whereas with Paydotcm, it is done by the individual merchant i.e. basically like CJ vs LinkShare.

Promoting products successfully on Clickbank and Paydotcom is a completely different kettle of fish to the more classical affiliate networks such as CJ and LinkShare. I have not had much success with it and frankly it is not my cup of tea. There is often a lot of dishonest, unethical, and downright illegal techniques involved. I suggest that you read up more on this stuff at the "Warrior Forum" which is where all the big marketeers are. In brief the major techniques used are.

1. Article Marketing - a refined form is "bum marketing" (you can download a free eBook at bummarketing.com
The basis of article marketing is to submit an article with either affiliate links embedded, or links to your own website to certain well-known article directories. Since these directories are already highly ranked by Google, you would have your SEO work cut out. In addition, since your article would be free to use by other webmasters, your links will be replicated thousands of times through the Internet. Bum marketing involves quite a lot of tedious work but there is almost no investment involved.

2. PPC - A lot of marketeers have claimed stunning success with PPC but this is very risky, especially for the newbie. You can buy ads directly to the merchant i.e. "GoogleCash Method", or ads to your own site, usually a review site. It may be worthwhile for you to join "wealthy affiliate" for a few months since it is quite good value and provides some form of mentoring and also keyword lists to certain Clickbank merchants. However, you must be prepared to lose several hundred dollars quickly before you achieve any success.

3. E-mail List - this is where "The money is in the list" saying comes in. The most successful marketeers and gurus have large mailing lists with hundreds or thousands of addresses. Having a big mailing list is not enough, you must establish a relationship of trust and respect with those in your list so that they will be more receptive to the products you recommend . E-mail addreses are typically captured through product sales and squeeze pages where the visitor is offered a free download.

4. Your Own Product - this is possibly the biggest "secret" of all. The idea is that you have a frontend product for sale and for which traffic is obtained from the above AND also from your OWN affiliates. Having been brought to your site, the visitors is then offered other products for which you are an affiliate as well. Some marketeers would actually lose money on the frontend product but make it back on the backend. Besides obtaining affiliates through Clickbank or Paydotcom, successful marketeers would often ask some well-known marketeers to get involved in their "joint venture"

If you really want to go down this route and explore things furhter, you are luckly that Singapore has one of the greatest concentration of well known marketeers around. Your very own home grown guru "Ewen Chia" is thought to be the highest earning affiliate with both Clickbank and Paydotcom. As I gather from an Internet Marketing conference in Singapore last year, the main method he uses is method no. 4.

If you are really keen, you may consider going to a Network meeting in Bali this June, where Singapore marketeers will turn up in force. It may or may not be that useful for a newbie, but you will be able to meet people who can help you later on.

Network In Bali And Build Your Business

Here is a thead on this in the warroir forum

The Warrior Forum - POLL: Are you coming to Bali? (Life without Bali?)

PS. Although I know some of these people, I have no commercial or personal interest at all in this, and I am not going to Bali. For a start, I was in Bali just a couple of weeks ago.

That is some amazing info you provided there zxpro168. :P
Thanks a lot, that will help me for sure in the future.

No worries, best of luck for the future. But make you that you are not taken in by all hard sells pitch of the IM gurus. It is quite easy to spend many thousands of dollars on their products, seminars, and mentoring programs within seeing any return.

I agreed... too many internet guru marketing courses and programs nowaday

went to bummarketing.com , don't see any free ebook there?

It is definitely free, the only thing it asks to for you to join his mailing list. However, you can unsubscribe immediately or block it.

There is no doubt that the method works, just Google "bum marketing" and you will get over 300,000 results. It requires no money, no domain and no website to start. It is not the easiest way to earn money online but again, you have nothing to lose except your time.

nice

Thanks for your remind.

Hi,

Buying traffic from Pay per click progrmas like Google adword , Yahoo search marketing , MSN adcenter or any other PPC programs from second tried search engines is a great way to promote CB product but it is not for newbies as there is a risk of loosing money. So only use these programs after you know them closely.
