    I have just launched a weight loss eBook on ClickBank called LiveToLosePounds. I am selling this product at $49.95 and you make 75% of that. That means every sale you make you will earn about $37 before ClickBank fees.

    Take a look at the sales page by clicking here.

    Take a look at the affiliate section by clicking here.

    You can start promoting by filling in your ClickBank id into the standard hoplink below. Just replace the x's with your affiliate id and you'll be good to go.

    Code (markup):

    I have put a lot of effort into creating this product and researching the niche of weight loss. This guide isn't about a crazy new fad diet or only providing fluff. I have included information regarding every single important aspect of weight loss in this guide. And as you can probably tell from the sales page I have taken a straight forward approach in creating and selling this product.

    Now, I will not deceive you. I have put very little promotional effort into this product because I have been pretty bogged down by many other projects and as a result have not made any sales. However, I am very confident in my product converting well given some targeted traffic.

    In order to make up for my lack of testing I will be writing up a detailed step by step process to take in order to make a killing promoting this product. I am very thankful for the hard work that is done by affiliates mainly because I am one.

    It takes hard work in order to successfully promote a product and sell it to your visitors. I know this first hand because I struggled for a long time with this. After a lot of hard work though, I have been able to come up with a system that is almost guaranteed to work.

    I now know exactly what it takes to make a sale as an affiliate which is exactly why I have gone ahead and taken the publisher route so that I can incorporate my strategies into my own product. So, without wasting any more of your time here is a step by step plan of action to take in order to make a killing promoting my product.

    How To Make Easy Sales Promoting This Guide|Step By Step


    Step 1

    The first thing that you will need to do is either purchase a domain or if you don't feel like spending money creating a free Blogger blog.

    When choosing your domain name you need to make sure to include a profitable keyword in the domain. I see many affiliates getting domains related to the product name which is completely fine if you are creating a thing site. However, in my opinion it is best to create an entire niche site rather than creating a new site every time a new product launches.

    This is exactly how I have gone about making money in the weight loss niche. I bought a keyword rich domain and then installed WordPress on that site. I don't want to get too far ahead of myself though so I'll end this step right here.

    Just remember to do some keyword research and then buy a domain based on that keyword or do the same thing for a blogger blog.

    Step 2


    The next thing that you will need to do is to either install WordPress on your own domain. In my opinion WordPress is one of the best platforms to create a niche site with. There is tons of flexibility as well as thousands of themes for you to use.

    Whether you plan on building a long term authority niche site or just a set and forget type site you need to make sure of one thing. You need to make sure that your site looks at least half decent.

    There are tons of free themes around for WordPress that look great but if you want something that stands out and look professional then I highly recommend you check out Elegant Themes. This is by far the best premium WordPress service out there. The best part is that it is dirt cheap at only $20 a year.

    If you have decided to go the free route by using Blogger just remember to find a half decent theme. Remember, it is very important to make your site look legitimate and pleasing to the eye if you want to gain the trust of your visitors and prospective buyers.

    Step 3


    Now that you have a basic niche site set in place you will need to start filling it with content. However, just as it is important to make sure that your site looks presentable it is also important to write your content in a way that makes you seem knowledgeable in the area of weight loss.

    This is another area where many affiliate struggle. They blindly promote products without the slightest clue as to what they are about. This doesn't mean that you have to research for hours it just means that you need to spend 15 minutes or so getting a quick understanding of what you will be writing about.

    Thankfully for you, this is something that is incredibly easy in the weight loss niche. Getting good content is as easy as heading on over to WebMd and then taking what you learn to write your own content.

    With all of that said, there is something to keep in mind when writing content. There are two types of content for your niche. There is what I like to call "filler" content and then there are your pillar articles.

    Basically, your filler content is going to be content that you write up without really thinking. It is really only meant to feed the search engines and to increase the fresh content of your site. Yes, it still should be fairly well written. I am in no way telling you to spam. It is just that these articles don't really need to include mind blowing information. This type of content should be easy for you to create in maybe 10 minutes from what you already know on the subject of weight loss.

    In contrast, your pillar articles are going to be the articles which offer a lot of unique content and ones that you put more effort into. Naturally, these articles are going to be longer.

    Step 4


    After filling your site with some content you will want to create a review around my product. The point of putting some content on your niche site before you create a review is to make your site seem trustworthy. If someone comes along to your site and only sees one bare bones article basically saying "Buy This Product It Is The Best" they most likely won't trust your intentions.

    But, if your site has a few somewhat helpful articles as well as a well written review then someone will be more likely to listen to your advice. Now, when it comes to creating a product review you have two options. You could either create a review of just my product or you could compare to other similar products.

    Both review models have worked very well for me so it is basically whichever model you prefer. Just remember to provide useful information about my product, highlight its benefits, and to not sound too over promotional. Basically, just express your thoughts naturally and give your honest opinion.

    Step 5


    Good job you made it to the end. This is the final step! This is also the most important step. This is the step where you make money by driving traffic. Because as will all know, traffic is what ultimately makes you money.

    Here are some of the best free ways to drive traffic to your review:

    Post Articles On:


    EZA
    Buzzle
    GoArticles
    Click here for a list of the top 50 directories.

    In my opinion EZA and Buzzle are the best for traffic however the others are great for backlinks. Wherever you post make sure to include anchor text in your links which includes the keywords you want to rank for. Also, make sure that the article directory is dofollow before writing content for them.

    Answer Questions On:


    Yahoo Answers

    Social Bookmark Your Content Using:

    Social Marker


    This is a great free tool that allows you to submit your links to the best social bookmarking sites very quickly. It also allows you to only submit to dofollow sites if you want to.

    Ping You Content Using:

    Pingler

    This is a free pinging service that allows you to ping your specified url to over 92 services in just a minute or two. This is great for getting your content indexed fast.

    Submit Content To:

    Squidoo
    HubPages

    Both of these rank very well in Google as well as offer high PR backlinks to your niche site.

    Submit Your Blog To:

    The Best Blog Directories

    Here you'll find a list of some of the best blog directories to submit your site to. While this won't provide you with a lot of traffic it will help your SEO as well as help your site get indexed.

    =================================================

    I sincerely hope that I could provide some useful information for you guys in regards to making money promoting my product and making money as an affiliate in general.

    It sure as hell took awhile to write up. The least you could do is promote my product. :)

    If you have any questions about my product, this post, or anything at all please post them here. Also, I would love to here some feedback from you guys.

    Thanks

    Interesting approach. I'll be curious to see how you do and I'll probably do a little affiliate work for you as well to test it out myself.

    I actually like to promote all of the diet products to see how my "competition" is doing (and to make more money, of course.)

    I find the diet niche a really easy one to work in because of all of the research I've done on it. I can spit out decent articles in minutes for it. So, that helps a lot.

    Good Luck!

    Thanks for the feedback man. I appreciate it.

    I'd be more than happy to provide you with a review copy if ever you decide to promote it. I'll probably be promoting this heavily over the next few days and will hopefully make a few sales to get some more affiliates on board.

    Hi! Great information for newbies in affiliate marketing like me. I have a couple of questions, though, that I'd love to hear your thoughts about:

    • I'd like to promote by a domain redirect, that is, without driving traffic to a landing page. What are my chances of succeeding in this strategy?
    • Clickbank doesn't cover my country, so it would be close to impossible to promote your product which is on CB. Is there any other way for me to promote it, like is it in other affiliate marketing sites like PayDotCom, etc?

    Looking forward to your reply on this. Good luck to you! :)

    You got some nice ideas. What i would suggest is to improve the sales letter, its not that convincing especially when you keep in mind that the fat loss niche got fierce competition ....Good Luck!

    Agreed.

    I would really rework that headline. It doesn't really "jump" out or reach out to me.

    Make that headline compelling. Once you grab them there, it'll be a sure bet they will read on.

    Also, if you make your subheadings, as well as your "key points" of the product exciting, attention-drawing, and heighten the emotion of the prospective customer, there is a good chance they might scan the page, read all the subheadings and head straight for the order button.

    Yes you can promote this product on Click2Sell as well. Click here to sign up for free.

    As far as using a domain redirect goes it is ultimately up to how you go about doing it. If you can successfully presell the visitor then making a sale using a redirect shouldn't be too difficult.

    Alright guys, I've changed the headline to something more attention grabbing. Or at least I hope so. I tried to write it in such a way that would make the visitor curious and wanting more.

    Apart from the headline, what other suggestions do you have for tweaking the sales page?

    As I said in the OP I really haven't seen any action yet mainly because I haven't done too much promotion.

    There are maybe around 20 unique affiliate id's I've seen pop up buy none have over 10 hops. I'll be sending a lot of traffic over the next few days on my own buy I still want to do whatever I can to gather affiliates.

    That's why I went ahead and laid out an easy to follow plan of action. If you've got any suggestions inzpiration I'd be happy to hear them. And yes, this is wordpress I am using.
