Here is the proven, time-tested 4-step strategy: Step 1 - Find A Hot Clickbank Market Step 2 - Create A Squeeze Page With A Free Offer Step 3 - Advertise/Market Your Squeeze Page Step 4 - Make Backend Sales Through Your Mailing List Now let's get into the 'minutiae' of this strategy so you can get off the blocks quickly: Step 1 - Find A Hot Clickbank Market Look for a market that has products that are selling like water in a desert. These products cater to a hot and primed market that is buying stuff. So you'd want to get a piece of the action by creating your own marketing systems in the markets. Choose a hot market and let's move on to Step 2. Step 2 - Create A Squeeze Page With A Free Offer Create a squeeze page with a free offer that's based on the hot market you have chosen. This can be a free report that solves a problem in that market. Visit forums and see what problems are having in the market. Or you can do a little reverse engineering and see what topics the best selling products are covering and create a short free report on one of those topics. Then create a simple one-page site (a squeeze page) to build your list. To build a list, you would need to sign up with an auto responder. (Aweber is recommended by many marketers) Step 3 - Advertise/Market Your Squeeze Page It's all about the marketing. Get visitors to your page and start building your list. Post on forums, create some pay per click campaigns, put up a classified ad on Craigslist or submit some articles. Spend time marketing your squeeze page! Step 4 - Make Backend Sales Through Your Mailing List When you've got subscribers on your list, you can mail out relevant affiliate offers to them. How do you find these offers? Simple...through Clickbank again!
