Need Help, How Does A Health Book Vendor Get Affiliates?

I am new to ClickBank. I have created an eBook called ‘How To Cure Your Ailments Naturally’ and have put it on ClickBank as a vendor.

There seems to be a lot of competition on there for health eBooks.

How do I get affiliates to promote my eBook?

I have put a 75% commission rate on the eBook. I read somewhere that, that was a good start.

Are there any other tricks or tips to get an affiliate interested?

I would think that because the Health field is so huge, you have to micro-specialize. Change it to "How to Cure [insert some very specific ailment] Naturally" and you've created yourself a niche.

Look at it from the keyword perspective. If you search for G for your keywords, you get 422,000 results. Even if you replace "ailments" with "epilepsy" (itself a huge topic), you cut that number in half. Replace "epilepsy" with an even more specific ailment and you get even narrower.

 

Thanks flip

I understand your view point but I don't think it can apply to this eBook because it is a general A-Z look up type ebook where many different health conditions are discussed.

Only common theme throughout the eBook, is that it looks at helping these conditions through the use of nutrition.

I do have plans on producing more detailed ebooks on specific health conditions but that won't be until later in the year.

Cheers

 

I think you need to do things like this -- post in message boards where you might pick up some affiliates.

I'm an affiliate and not a vendor, so I don't know all of the vendor tricks to find affiliates.

Many affiliates stay away from brand new products that have very low gravities. That may be hurting you (not sure, haven't looked at your stats). You might seek out an affiliate in your niche who has a big mailing list and seek a JV partnership with them. This can get the word out about your book and allow you to reach a lot of people.

 

Thanks for the good advice mike42.

I think you are right, the low gravitie may be a problem.

Cheers

 

You won't get any affiliates finding you in ClickBank until the affiliate sales start to come in and you begin jumping up the rankings.

As this happens more affiliates see your product and more jump on the "band wagon" so to speak.

What you therefore need to do to get the ball rolling is "recruit" affiliates yourself.

The best way to do this is go to Google.com and search for some of your main target keywords. You'll be presented with a list of sites that are currently successful in that marketplace and as such already have access to a lot of people who may be interested in buying your ebook.

Then pitch your book to these sites as offering value for their visitors and explaining that you have an affiliate program which pays 75% commission and that they can earn X amount per sale for simply recommending your ebook to their visitors.

You only need a few decent sites in your niche to get on board and everything should start to steadily snowball from there.

Best of luck.

I'm heading to Google right now.

 

Another thing that you could do is create a brandable sampler. Something that affiliates could brand with their NICK and distribute to their users.
