Hi, I have heard a lot about Clickbank and its affiliate programs so I just registered for a CB account and an EIN. I checked the site of CB and there are thousands of different things to start with .... I'm stuck .... Please help me. Which ones are those are the most trustworthy and reliable? I just want to know which program of CB site that everyone started from. If you can, please let me know, if my question seems stupid to you, please ignore it and I'm sorry. Thank you very much.
You can check out cbtrends.com and run products through it to see it's stats. My product is a safe bet. Here's a link: www.DomainCashSecrets.com There's an affiliate link at the bottom. Zach
I'm quite sure all of them are reliable. Personally, I read the sales page of each product and think 'Would I buy this?'. There's no point trying to sell someone else's product when their landing page looks very amateur and cheap.
Search the marketplace for a topic you have an interest in. You don't need to be an expert, just something you won't lose interest in after a couple weeks - think long term. Then I always check the sales page for each product. make sure it's professional, sellable, etc etc. You can't expect to make any sales if the vendor's page is terrible. This is where you must be picky about what you want to endorse/sell. If you're new at this, I suggest finding a product with low competition, especially if you're using adwords. Do a search for related keywords and see how many ads there are, and use all the keyword tool Google offers. If you enter a low competition market, chances are you'll get more clicks for less money. It's a good way to learn the ropes.
I had luck promoting divorce books here : clickbank.com/marketplace.htm?method=Sort&c=-1&subc=-1&keywords=divorce&sortBy=popularity&i=10
I had some good luck promoting Zune (Microsoft's MP3 player) download sites. That's fading away now so I wouldn't try that.
software sites in CB that offer free trial downloads have brought me considerable income in my beginning days.
I started from my own, in my sig hehe It is best that you try out different stuff, read reviews, visit cbtrends.com, see clickbank.net marketplace the category you like, etc. and then go from there. Good luck. Stan.
