MAKE MONEY WITH CLICKBANK AFFILIATE


One of the simplest ways to make money online is to sell other people’s products.
The practice is commonly referred to as affiliate marketing. In a nutshell, you find
an interesting product online and agree with the vendor to give you a commission
for every sale that you drive to their website.

Before I run through Make money with Clickbank Affiliate is to do. I want to go
through some questions that people are always asking about the website.
What Is Clickbank?
Clickbank is an affiliate network known for being home to thousands of digital
products like e-books, videos, and software. They’re simply middlemen between
product vendors and affiliates.
If you’re the vendor, then you create your own product and set it up using
Clickbank’s system. They then list your product in their marketplace so that tens of
thousands of affiliates can see you. They handle the tracking using unique tracking
links and cookies so they know exactly where the sale came from and credit the
referring account accordingly.

Confused? It’ll be clearer in a moment. A lot of people start off as affiliates and
then, later on, become vendors. We will focus on making money as an affiliate in
this blog post, as it’s the simpler route.
As an affiliate, all you have to do is sign up for a ClickBank affiliate account and
then start browsing their marketplace which lists all the available products from
their partner vendors. Once you find a good product (we’ll get into that in a
moment), ClickBank will give you a unique “affiliate link” that points to the
vendor’s sales page. All you have to do then is make people buy through that link.
You earn a commission for any sale made through your affiliate links.
Why ClickBank? Is ClickBank Legit?
Yes, Clickbank is legit. They aren’t as well known as Amazon Associates program,
but they do a great job of providing people like you and me with products to
recommend our readers.
Clickbank is not alone in what they do. There are many similar affiliate networks (I
list some at the end of this blog post). So why and when would you choose
Clickbank over others? Here’s a breakdown of the top advantages I see:
 Very high commissions: Most ClickBank products pay 70%+ commission.
You read that right. So in that case, if you sell a $100 product, you earn $70.
You might think that’s way too high to be real, but it is. They’re mainly able
to do that because most of their products are digital, which means there are
no “production” costs, “shipping” costs or any other costs that are usually
associated with physical products, hence the high commissions.
 They pay fast: As often as weekly or bi-weekly. Many affiliate networks
pay on a NET 30 basis, which means they keep your money for 30 days after
you’ve earned them. This can be a huge inconvenience and create cash flow
problems especially if you’re running paid traffic.
 They’re newbie friendly: Some affiliate networks are strict when it comes
to accepting new affiliates. They’re usually scared of fraudsters who can
potentially jeopardize the network’s relationships with their advertisers and
vendors by using shady promotional techniques. While this cautiousness is

generally a good thing, it also makes it hard for new affiliates to get into
those networks. How can you start taking your baby steps and experimenting
with things when you’re not even allowed to promote any products?
 International affiliate friendly: Their direct deposit payment method
works with Payoneer, a popular digital wallet that can help you easily get
paid online no matter where you’re from in the world (with a few
exceptions).
 Big variety of products: They have thousands of products available across
about two dozen categories. That’s a lot of niches, a lot of products and a lot
of opportunities.
Is ClickBank Safe?
Yes. Clickbank is a network used by hundred of thousands if not millions of
affiliate marketers. It is just a way to find new affiliate products to recommend and
then connecting with the owner of the product.
Think is Clickbank as the Amazon or Walmart of affiliate offers. You can shop
around, find what you like, and then promote it on your website.
How much does it cost to join Clickbank?
It is 100% free to join the Clickbank platform, you just need to add a few details
and state whether you are wanting to be a vendor and or affiliate you can be either
or both.

Although to be a vendor you will need to have your own product to add to the
marketplace.

Don’t forget to add in your bank details so you can get paid…
How do I get paid through Clickbank?
Getting paid is really simple. There are currently two ways to do this. The first is
by check in the mail, and the second is by bank transfer which they recently
introduced.
How long does it take to get paid from Clickbank?
Unlike most affiliate networks and programs Clickbank payout every two weeks.
This then takes approximately 10 days to actually receive your commission check
or bank deposit
How to making money with Clickbank
The 3 steps simple process so that you can start earning from this great affiliate
platform.
Step 1
Sign Up for your free account, as I have mentioned previously this is a simple task
and free to do.
Step 2: Choose your product niche
Click on the marketplace tab to reveal what products are available to promote.

[coachmakemoney.online]

Once in the marketplace on the left-hand side, there is a menu of different


categories. This makes it much quicker to find products in a certain niche. Eg
Health & Fitness.
You now have a list of products in your chosen niche. Next, select the drop-down
tab and you’re your list by gravity. Gravity is how many individual affiliates have
promoted and made sales over the last two weeks. You want this to be fairly high
so that you know that the product is converting and selling well.
If you look within the brief description of the product it shows the gravity score. 20
plus is always a good indicator that the product sells okay.

There is nothing worse than promoting something that doesn’t convert you are then
wasting your time.
Step 3: Create and get your hop link

5
[coachmakemoney.online]

Creating your hop link is the final step and probably the easiest. From the
marketplace listing of the product that you have decided to promote all you have to
do is click on the promote button.

Here you can be given a choice of pages to promote (some products just have one
page) choose your page I normally go with the default sales page.
You can also add your own tracking code this is ideal if you are promoting in
various places and want to see which one performs best.
Step 4: Promoting Your Links
There are two different ways to actually use your links.
Directly: This is when you send people directly to the sales page of the product.
Although the easiest and quickest way to get your links out there, the results can
vary.
Also, beware that you are allowed to post direct links as not all places allow this
type of link. More on that later
Landing Pages: The other route of promoting your links would be via your own
sales funnel. This tends to work well as you are giving the customer loads of value
before offering them a solution to their problem they have.
My Preferred Funnel
I use a blog and write informative articles that I can then direct traffic too. I then
create free giveaways such as reports, e-courses, checklists and the like that are
very targeted towards the product I am promoting.

That way I know if they sign up for the freebie I know they are very targeted as a
potential customer for my Clickbank product. Once on my email list, I can, of
course, keep giving value and promoting more relevant products.
No blog … No problem you can start building your own for free

Building your own list


In order to start building your own email list, you will need an email service
provider so that you can collect, store and automatically email out.
Landing Pages
If you already have a WordPress blog (WordPress is the best blogging platform
and one I would recommend) To create separate landing pages for your free gifts
can be done by using a WordPress plugin like Thrive Architect. With Thrive
you can create optins for your blog and landing pages fast. No technical skills are
required either so super easy for a novice.
Thrive leads can also be added to enable more ways of collecting details and
building your email list.
Having sorted your blog and landing pages now all you need is traffic which in
some way is the easiest part.
Traffic
SEO

[coachmakemoney.online]

If you are using a blog to send people to then optimizing your articles for the
search engines is a good way to get some free traffic.
One downside to this method is that it can take a few months to get a good amount
of traffic. The upside if google starts liking your content you will get thousands of
free visitors every day.
One of the secrets to maximizing the search engines is to create a continuous
stream of quality content.
PPC
Paid Adverts are definitely a much quicker option but of course, these will cost
you. I would advise doing some research on long-tail keywords that are going to be
much cheaper to advertise for.
There are plenty of platforms these days where you can use paid ads, here’s a list
of the most popular ones.
 Google
 Bing / Yahoo
 Facebook
 Instagram
 Twitter
 Linkedin
 YouTube
 Pinterest
Social Media
Although you can use paid ads on social media sites as stated above, don’t forget
you can also create free profiles and share your links on these too.
Be sure you don’t just spam links everywhere as this send your followers running
in the opposite direction. Go to give advice and help others first and foremost.
Quality blog posts work well on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin.

Make sure you read through the individual terms and conditions about posting
affiliate links on all your social sites.
YouTube
YouTube is a great way to reach targeted people within your niche. It tends to be
easier to rank higher within the YouTube search too. This means you will get free
views on your videos and by adding a link in the description you can make some
serious sales.
Remember you don’t have to be an expert to start a YT channel my first videos
were pretty grim but the more you do the better you will become. Even the top
Youtubers had to start at the beginning.
Pinterest
Pinterest is a visual sharing platform but don’t underestimate it. People are using
Pinterest as a research tool for information just like Google.
If you can use the right keywords and create a great pin (image) then you could get
an avalanche of traffic that can last a few months if not longer.
That’s partly why I use it.
With other social networks, your post can very quickly disappear and stop driving
traffic, but with Pinterest, your pins can keep being shared and clicked for months,
this means it’s very easy to start generating huge traffic if you post new pins every
day.

Clickbank affiliate network. Joining and discovering products to promote is quick

Make sure you do some research about the product and see if they have a god
gravity score and affiliate or JV page. Both these will help you when promoting it.
