Is there a way to promote clickbank affiliate links for free. Also I'm not a big fan of writing articles. Simply because I'm not good at it. So any ideas, anything is welcomed thanks.
As you are already doing, continue with forum signatures by promoting your products in relevant forums. However, rather than promoting direct hoplinks, try to create your own landing pages. Then, search engines can show your site in their search results and you can get free targeted traffic.
You can use classifieds, forums, articles, blogs, squidoo lenses and other web 2.0 resources. Don't worry about not being able to write articles. See my signature for help.
Is there any tips you guys can give me about posting in forums. Also is there any special way to go about making a squidoo lens.
I have created a couple squidoo lenses for this purpose but haven't received anything decent from it. You almost have to optimize the lens and get links to it to rank it up in google. Still not that great though.
Article marketing is my prime form of advertising. I used to not be good at it, but after spending months of reading other people's articles it is a skill I've picked up. Some article directories do not allow direct affiliate links unless they forward from a top level domain however (like ezinearticles.com). Anyway as far as Squidoo goes I researched keywords that people looking for the products I was promoting may be looking for. To build links I did article marketing, linking my lens from the resource box, and I did a lot of forum posting.
If you don't want to write articles, you can purchase some PLR at low cost and make them unique before posting along with your aff. links
