First of all, you need to know what you want to market..I said market, not sell. Market will lead to sell, to market your product, you need to know the product and compare what is your product advantage. You need to build trust to gain customer to buy, and they will buy from you once they identify that you are the "Expert" in the field... "Expert" meaning you know where to find the solution for their problem.
I just got started and someone suggested to start with Click bank. I thinks you may be right. I haven't had any luck either and the adwords seems too expensive for just starting out. Is there a better place to start?
AprilMorn, Please look around your town area where you stay, how many bakery shops are there? how many food store are there? how many the same type of business open everyday, why some store selling exactly the same thing get rich and earn a lot of money? and why some store selling the same stuff are not doing well? It is the attitude to do the business, the way you run your business and the way you handle your customers, if the customers trust you, they will come to you no matter what other store are selling, they just want to buy from you. Yes, there are competition of cause, but the competition will lead you to achieve a higher goal for yourself. To be successful, you just need to keep trying and believe in yourself.
I believe the key to success in this line of work is persistence combined with help from people who actually know what they're doing. Take me for instance: I always liked internet marketing though for the last 5 years I've been doing offline marketing and sales. When I started working with my brother (an awesome copy-righter) his years of experience helped me a lot. So basically it's simple: ambition, goals, someone to ask when in the dark and guts. I believe every great businessman started this way.
for Clickbank, gravity and commission are two key factors to choose a product. good results are not only because of product, but also based on your internet marketing skills.
read the sales page. If it appeals to you and makes you really want to buy the product then chances are someone else would buy it. How convincing is the sales page?
To find good products on clickbank, here is a quick tip: go to ezinearticles.com, and have a look at what people are promoting there. For example, suppose you are in the forex niche, you'd go to the forex gategory, look at some of the articles, and click on the author bio. If you see a product that come over and over, it may be a winner. Franck the Body Guard marketer
