Hey Guys, I just signed up as an affiliate on clickbank. My question is that I do not understand how to promote the product. I did a search on here but didn't find anything to useful. I click on create hoplink and I receive a domain name and another link to paste to my web page. What do I do from here on? I visited the faq area but I still do not understand. Any help would be appreciated. Nick
Ok, First of all, I suggest you google "Affiliate marketing" and learn the basics of how to promote the product. What clickbank does is give you an unique affiliate link to the product your promoting. How YOU promote is entirely up to your experience and your skills. So just learn as much as possible. There is tons of information on this forum and way more information if you search for it.
It's not easy to make money from Affiliate program, although some big guys made big money there. if you do not have your own website, it is more difficult. I do not suggest you to advertise your single affiliate link via google adword or yahoo search market. what I suggest is creating your own website and promoting it, or just go back home to create your own digital product, then sell it on Clickbank and other affiliate netwok.
The two advices above are really great. Follow them. My advice to you is to do one thing at a time. In the beginning, you have a learning curve. Focus on your affiliate business, and you will succeed. don't hesitate to PM me if you need specific help. YOU signed with clickbank, and it's great. now, you got your hoplink link, but it is not enough, you will not make any money. First, you can start with a free blog at http://www.blogger.com (you will set it up in less than 3 minutes) after you finished to set up your blog, write some article about your market (if you choose a product about learn french, write articles on learning french) Try to write one article everyday the first 10 days. Important: Before writing your article, you must be sure that people will find those article when searching on google or Msn... How to do that? 1) Goto http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ 2) Tape your keyword. for example: "Learn French" in the box You will have a list of 100 keywords that people searched last month in yahoo (with the exact number of searches on the left). 3) Take the first 10 keywords: 12055 french learn 2445 french learn speak 1540 free french learn online 1159 french language learn 1029 free french learn 941 french learn online 896 french french from learn people real smartfrench 683 free french learn speak 639 free french language learn Note: the overture (Yahoo) tool is weak with plural and word orders... But it's easier when you start 4) write 10 article with the keywords in the title and the body of the articles. ==> Post one article a day ==> Include your affiliate link in the article. 5) Promote your blog: read this article: http://easyideas.blogspot.com/2006_02_24_easyideas_archive.html 6) don't hesitate to PM me for help, and post on the Forum Let me know if something isn't clear. All this is Free, and in the same time, you are learning and having fun! You can also use article marketing with proper keyword research.
That's a good point dude. I'm also new to Clickbank and I want to promote a product. If I create a blog either WordPress, Joomla or Blogger, what are certain niches or keywords that most people are searching or targeting right now, which I can generate sales daily or most of the time?
