    Cheap and targeted keywords and landing page. I still have so much more to learn, but it's a good start, ;)

    What was the product? It should not be a secret now as it is no longer offered through ClickBank. Thanks.

    It shouldn't be completely difficult to make a sale on your first day. What matters overall is your profit.

    I guarantee that if you send $150 worth of targeted traffic to a pitch page for any of the products with high gravity, you're going to make at least one sale on your first day. You'll probably make several. However, if you only make $130 in sales then you just used $150 to make -$20.

    So how much did you spend to make $150?

    about $5 :)

    the products i pick are always very niche so theres never much competition and therefore low advertising costs (never go over 10c per click). The problem with this method is volume, so i try to find two new niche products each week and test them. For every 4 products i try usually only 1 will actually convert well enough, but if you repeat this for a few months you soon build up a steady number of 'good sellers'.

    Thank you for sharing. There is quite a big number of bodybuilding ebooks on ClickBank and some of those are quite good (at least they have very low popularity values and high gravity values) meaning that they sell well and have few returns. Did you try promoting those instead?

    Yep, this is so true. The competition is fierce out there. That is why I stopped using PPC with ClickBank and rely solely on organic traffic for making affiliate sales. Thanks.

    Unless you know what you're doing, organic traffic is (imho) the best way to go. Paying for advertising is good if you can get cheap traffic, obviously, but if you can get both going, more power to you. :)

    In my opinion if you do want to make more than high XXXX month you must check also SEO, articles and PPC to have traffic to your website. Of course , there are guys which are makin 40.000$ / month just from SEO or just from PPC but there few.

    Combine this two methods and improove your skills by reading good resources, have patient and you will have results for sure.:)

    Very good advice I.C. Diversify your income so if one stops giving you funds then you have other means.

    Hey guys,

    Good news! I'm back in the game with a vengeance now.

    Since my last post here, my organic traffic has dwindled to the point where I make about $100/mo in ClickBank profit.

    However, after regrouping and coming up with a power plan, I've made a great comeback. Not even two weeks into my comeback and I am already at an average of $200/day in sales and pulling in nearly half of that as profit.

    True, I haven't reached my $5000/mo goal but I have little doubt I will reach it within the next 60 days. I won't say what I'm pushing or exactly how, but I will say this-

    If you are going to play in this game, you had better be ready to literally spend money to make money. I am spending more and more every day in order to push my net profit up a bit each time. I have a feeling I will need to make an average of $375-400/day in sales before I reach my goal of $165/day in profits. That's how harsh the spending is getting, but making the sales is very tedious, arduous work. Make no mistake, you can not just put a little work into this stuff and expect it to sky rocket.

    I will update you more later but just wanted to give you guys the good news. I am interested to hear how everyone else is doing as well though.

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hi, if you are simply Google cashing, ie post your Clickbank affiliate link in Adwords, it is not going to cut it. Nowadays, even with landing pages, it is also not sufficient after the Google slap. The trick now that works with Adwords is to use proper content page that is relevant and targeted to the Ad copy and keywords. ;)

    Yeah, it's always good to use your own landing page vs a direct link. Also-- it's never a bad idea to frame the LP of the product page you're selling (as long as you get permission from the seller first). As the wise men in this industry say, don't try to outsell the seller.. chances are, they can sell better than you can. :)

    Sounds like that you are not attracting the right people. Instead of trying to sell the customer something you should give them a free ebook or report and have them opt-in to your mailing service. You have to make the customer feel like they just got the winning part of the win-lose situation and slowly you can build a relationship with the potential customer. After you form this relationship with the potential customer you can sell them clickbank products.
