Most online marketers know ClickBank and if you don't I'll explain exactly what it does just below but few of you guys ever made money from it. Usually people sign up, check out a crappy product and wonder how it can actually make sales. Then, they try to throw some random traffic at it and seeing that nobody bought it, curse at the platform and call it crap.

But let's jump right in with a little catch up lesson, for those of you who don't understand what I'm talking about right now. While many people will call Clickbank yet another affiliate network, that's not all it is. The platform is more of a marketplace for product creators and affiliates to make money together without cumbersome paperwork or agreements. You will also see your earnings in real time.

It's free to join and there's no screening process. It's basically a simplified affiliate network, open to anyone that wants to give it a shot.

In case you want to try it out, simply go register on their homepage. But when you get started and only make a few hundred dollars per day, it's a great help to not have t o deal with all the tech stuff.

I really like ClickBank and I think it's a fantastic place for new affiliate marketers to get started without the hassle of more advanced affiliate networks. Trust me, that's a huge plus when you get started and have no track record to show to those big networks. The best way to get started on ClickBank is to start as an affiliate, promoting pages that have already been optimized, in order to build your sales funnels. Much like keyword research for SEO, picking the right product to promote on ClickBank is extremely important.

No matter how good you are at promoting, if you push traffic to a sales page that doesn't sell, you will not make much money. Here is a short video of me going through the ClickBank marketplace to find juicy products to promote. The average amount of money affiliates make per sale. Gravity, the number of affiliates that sold this product in the last 12 weeks. In order to know where your conversions come from, the best practice is to create a new link each time you put a link somewhere.

In order to create a tracking ID, when you create your link simply add it in the "Tracking ID" field as per the screenshot bellow. If you read on other online marketing blogs, you'll see a ton of "tactics" to make money with ClickBank. Some of them work and some of them clearly don't work. The issue most of these tactics have, apart from the last one, is that they have very limited preselling.

People are thrown to sales pages without knowing exactly why they are there or who is this guy trying to sell them an information product.

From our experience, preselling is HUGE.

You need to give people valid reasons why they should buy the product and if you can be that 3rd party giving a recommendation, your conversion rates will x very often hint: Additionally, repeat exposure to the offer does very very well for us. More on that later though. Let's have a recap of the most "common" ways people make money with ClickBank, before I show you our secret sauce. This one is the most common and very often least profitable. The tactic is simple.

Find a somewhat related article on your site and slap a banner on the sidebar or in the middle of the article, without any form of preselling the product specifically. However, your EPC earning per click will be very low because the product does not come recommended by the author.

In content links are usually in line recommendations that are embedded directly in the text. Other than trusting the author, there's not much of an incentive to click through. This is one tactic we still use to this day and for good reason: Review traffic is extremely targeted and people landing on your page have a very high chance to buy. If your review doesn't look completely biased, there's a good chance they'll trust you and click through your link to buy the product.

The traffic on review keywords is low and the competition is fierce. Every SEO and their sister tries to make money with reviews and you end up sitting in the middle of a negative SEO fest, for trickles of traffic. Not ideal, if you're trying to build a long term property. Also, there's no other way to scale than horizontally produce more reviews because there just isn't much traffic for each product review.

This makes it hard to grow faster or use paid traffic to push things up. All the methods we talked about before tend to work to some extent but they're usually worn out and overused by everyone in the industry making it very competitive and hard to scale unless you have a site with hundreds and hundreds of reviews.

Plus, nobody links or shares any of the content above because it sells and people tend to hate linking or sharing stuff that sells something to it's readers. It's just the way it is. This means you will have to pay or produce all of your traffic and if you ever want to have a chance to show up in Google, you'll have to spend hours doing tedious link building.

Not fun, not scalable, not economical. You basically keep your front end clean of ANY sales pitch. You run it like a media company offering free content to the readers. You then offer lead magnets through content upgrades, opt in pop ups and retargeting.

The lead magnet offers more free stuff to those who are interested enough to trade their contact information for it. Well, if someone doesn't care enough about the topic to give you their email address, they probably won't give you money for it. This one is pretty straight forward. If you create value only content, getting links using these tactics and getting shares is fairly easy. There's 3 main ways I recommend you to go after traffic:.

Keep the content clean of promotions apart from your opt in , give value, establish yourself as an authority and don't be greedy. Create a complementary piece of content to the article. For example, if the article is a list of tips, create 3 more tips that people can download. This can be more recipes or anything that is a continuation to the content. This way, the people that were engaged enough to read until the end will most likely want to trade their email for more.

Now that people have opted in, you need to redirect them to a thank you page where you can finally promote your offer. While promoting the offer is important, it's also important to "bridge" the offer with the lead magnet they just opted in for. Otherwise, people will be frustrated and think they need to pay for the lead magnet. Trust me we've made that mistake! Note that we also have a retargeting pixel on this page to setup a negative audience and not advertize the lead magnet to those who already opted in.

You then want to explain to people why the lead magnet they've downloaded is incomplete and why they should take the offer you present along with it, to get better results. In this case, people download a juicing recipes book but we explain to them that without the 30 day plan, they won't get very far and achieve what they want. Notice that the call to action is to "continue" meaning we're not telling them anything is for sale yet. That means more clicks to our sales page and eventually more sales.

This is where things start to be fun. As opposed to people trying to throw traffic to a sales page once and then have no chance to see those visitors again, you have their contact details! If you don't have an email marketing service yet, I recommend Getresponse , it's far superior to Aweber and offers great automations for the exact same price. That means you can expose them to the offer again in case they didn't buy and take your time to convince them that it's what they need and you know it is because they downloaded the related lead magnet.

When you get started, I recommend to only set up a 3 part autoresponder. It's enough to know if the offer is going convert or not. Here's how I break it down:. In the first email I first send them the link to the lead magnet a second time the excuse to email them and ask them if they saw the offer affiliate link. I then go on and give a bullet point list of why I think they should get it as well as maybe 1 testimonial to give it credibility and start easing into the emotional realm.

I'll usually finish with a question, opening a loop making them want to open the next email. Then you go on and help them visualize themselves having solved the problem and all the things they could do when it is solved.

Simply elicit positive emotions of all the great things that could happen and link it back to your product. In the final email of the series you want to push people to take action right now. You can use sentences like: This is when you want to make sure the product actually delivers. If I guilt someone into buying a product that actually helps them lose 20lbs and live a better life, I'm happy I did it. If you guilt low income overweight people to buy a crappy pseudo science product and they lose both money and hope, you're not a great person.

Remember, we want to sell MANY things to our prospects so the first product better deliver! Really helping people makes you more money. If you're thinking this is a lot of work, and it really isn't, then imagine how happy you'll be when your daily emails go out and you see money trickling in that way wait, was that visualization? Once people have gone through the 3 part autoresponder, simply add them to your main broadcast list and email them your next pieces of content.

If they're interested, they'll opt in and enter a new mini sales funnel. This is a great way to not burn your email list while constantly selling. Those who don't opt in never get sold to, until they are interested enough to download your lead magnet.

At this point, you're seen as a great value giver since your front end is always pure value. Sadly, this option is becoming more and more popular so I won't be able to enjoy it alone anymore. Using Facebook or any other retargeting service, you can create audiences of people visiting your website minus those who opted in from the site and advertize lead magnets to them.

I cover setting up these campaigns in my upcoming training product Double your leads. Send that traffic to a squeeze page. Here's an example of opt in page I send traffic to our juicing funnel. Now that you've built the initial funnel, let it run for a little bit.

Perhaps start building a second one and after a while, decide if it's worth spending more time on it. When you've reached a certain scale, you should already be making several thousand dollars per month. At this point, it's time to start considering swapping the affiliate offer with your own offer.

As you probably guessed, the scope of this strategy is slightly larger than ClickBank itself. ClickBank is a great, simple place to start replacing things such as Adsense or Amazon revenue for real sales. It tends to generate much more revenue. You can use this in other networks or even for your own products. Be careful though, as offers do occasionally get pulled.

You need to be sure you have a backup offer in case this happens or you're ready to create a backup yourself. I hope this tutorial inspired you to get out of the "easy" monetization methods and showed you that it is possible to build a long term property, be seen as a value adder and yet make sales.

If you have any questions, let me know in the comments and don't forget to download our 9 best list building tools list before you get started! Hey I'm Gael, one of the guys behind Authority Hacker.

I make a living working from my laptop in various places in the world and I will use this website to teach you how you could do the same.

Did you have any simple tips to making money with Clickbank products? You did great job, probably you spent couple nights to make it live: I will look into this for 2 of my niche sites since my sales conversions are really bad. Also the pdf list is awesome! Glad you like the list, ive decided to do less lead magnets but better ones: This is definitely going to help a lot of people. Quick question for you, when you are using FB ads to drive traffic to your page, how much do you usually pay per conversion?

I have developed what I think is a pretty cool part auto responder series that solves a critical problem people have in my niche — it includes a number of affiliate links as well although not clickbank — yet.

I have the feeling that I have all the right content on the squeeze page. Am I trying to convert them too quickly by sending them straight to a squeeze page and should I send them to some great content relating to the subject first with a pop-up of the offer following after? All you need to do is create more content about other problems that target market may have following the same principle and queue them one after the other.

For example if we target women that want to lose weight they may also have wrinkle problems, digestion problems, diabetes, aging problems etc. We can easily create a chain of issues we run the email list through, let them opt in for what matches their issues and make several sales to that audience. Once my funnel is optimized, by having tested it on organic free traffic and I have a better feel for how much a subscriber is worth I can probably justify spending money on ads a bit more.

That makes the opportunities almost endless. I suppose that does require a very good segmentation strategy that allows you to keep track of where your subscribers opted in in the first place, so that you can target specific solutions that are related to that problem that prompted them to join your list. I actually disagree on the traffic part. You can start this with fairly low traffic. Pushing it back makes you miss out on data and focus on vanity metrics such as traffic which makes you no money.

Also, building these funnels is great to force you to commit to build traffic successfully rather than drop a project out half way. If you have pop-ups and optins on every page, I would have to think that it would be a lot harder to convince someone to link to it.

Remember, people linking to you are bloggers too, they understand why you do these things. I think this is a great point on traffic. Even though I have lots of traffic, I think I am only spending more money on hosting instead of earning more money.

I am now re-structuring my overall strategy after re-thinking my traffic strategy. Even though I generate more than visits by a guest post, I am converting 0 of those visitors to email subscriber. I think I have done something wrong on my content strategy, or even overall strategy. Hey Kevin, that can be turned around, we made the same mistake initially: We are planning another podcast about this very problem and how to address it.

This guide is excellent — probably my favourite of all your posts here at Authority Hacker. This guide sets out how to get back into it all again. Amazing piece of content. I have one question though.. How long can it take for the whole funnel to be set and how much money someone needs to build that kind of funnel?

Thanks Pavlos, if you only use organic to start with you can just get started with an autoresponder and a website. It would take maybe days to have a small funnel then you can pump content and throw traffic at it: Interesting you swear by Outbrain.

How are you tracking the ROI on these paid advertising options? Outbrain is not necessarily the network of choice, it was just an example.

Thanks for the awesome post Gael! I am very new to the scene of making money online, but I rather enjoyed reading this truly EPIC post. It gave me some great things to think about! I have read many posts about ClickBank, but it is the best guide. When you do follow up autorespond emails, what how long between email 1 and email 2 and then email 3 is sent?

Same day, 1 day 2 days? Yep about that, you can email a lot initially then less as time passes. I have always been interested in Clickbank products and advertising but there is so much conflicting information about how to promote the products. However, among all the guides I have read, yours takes the trophy.

Kudos on a guide well done! This is an awesome post and i really like the way you present it. I saw one minor flaw which could be a bad experience for your visitors.

Just bookmarked this page, thank for the informative post and keep writing these kinds of detailed guides! I, too, have always looked at ClickBank as a secondary and even tertiary monetization source.

But it can be a great sources of revenue. I linked one of my articles to a related product on CB, and without really doing promotion or anything unusual, I get a few sales a week. So, even though the traffic not huge on that post, it still manages to get some sales. I think I will be scaling this up this year. Reading your post gave me another push to take CB a bit more seriously. But it does seem that more and more truly good products are appearing on the market. Wondering if you can create some kind of video tutorials on this blueprint.

While this article looks pretty easy to follow along, I guess I can be lost at some stages. First of all thanks for the lovely useful info. I have come across many clickbank guides and have written one myself for newbies on my blog.. This will surely put my plans for clickbank that i had into more concrete action..

Thanks for putting out such a honest useful post. Your income figures at the start of the post — are they from mini funnels like the one you laid out? Hey Alex, glad you like the posts: I waiting for something like this for a very long time.

I was hooked immediately once I landed here! Keep up the good work. I want to ask you something, though. Since Facebook Ads and AdWords have been banishing all kinds of accounts recently, I contact directly the bloggers for a paid post or banner on their website, driving traffic to the sales page.

What kind of email capture page and product can I build to pay bloggers to link to that page? I think building a squeeze page with an free ebook would make most bloggers turn down my offer. Hey Arthur, glad you like the site! Squeeze pages work fine. The way you do it is you create a free post like this one with free downloads inside then drive traffic to it.

Everyone is happy to link to free info then you can retarget people without too much trouble. Do you guys ever build one of these funnels with just a couple pages for SEO and paid traffic, and then just leave them?

Or does every funnel get turned into a full-fledged website? And what type of prep do you beforehand? HOw fast do you uusally get these up and running? We run many of these mini funnels on 1 authority site. Beforehand we get to know the product, test it ourselves, find practical uses for it and give real life field tested info when we promote it and match the content with popular keywords.

How fast it depends really, from days to months depending on the product, content and resources available. Very informative posts Gael.

I made some of my first money online using ClickBank. Consistency is key though. I got some golden nuggets in the post when it comes to increasing your sales. May be something I try very soon. Thanks for dropping by Bj, good luck with your Clickbank ventures: I am absolutely new to the whole online marketing thing. I visited CB in , then, it appeared overwhelming so I put it on the back burner.

A week ago I revisited CB and ran two campaigns without a website nor blog. I went to Fiverr and had traffic directed to my CB ad. I jumped in without knowing too much of what I was doing… I needed to take some type of action.

I see the great potential and endless possibilities in making money on line. I also saw the numerous youtube blogs stating how they can help you make thousands of dollars a day.

However, the ones I read were a bunch of fluff. I really want to do the CB business but not sure how comfortable I feel about blogging but willing to try it. Do you have a course or a one-on-one you can help me get started. Focus on building a value adding funnel like described in the post rather than looking for a shortcut. I have learnt a lot from this guy. Though I have been making some money from clickbank but the idea here is something I have never thought of.

Yep you could have a single page with content and collect emails from it but I highly suggest you create a site. Here is my situation:. Then, should i start a blog or something like that where i can talk about things related to the product subject?

Thanks for your advice! Yep, you can totally do it with a single product: Just try to pick a product that has upsales, you will make more money little green arrow up in the Clickbank listings.

Pretty Nice Article Gael. This is much better than playing the waiting game of months for the site to rank in Google. Much faster to test the funnel right away with paid traffic and get leads in your funnel for future marketing as well. These funnels might take time to build initially but once set they are truly source of passive income unless offer is taken off. Have you tested these for Physical Products as well?

Just curious if Amazon based review sites can be converted to this model as well? I loved your post. First post with a clear clickbank strategy to work with. Definitely my foundation for the clickbank strategy.

I noticed, you reply on comments on the post, so I give it a go. I got a question about the funnel. You were talking about the first page to be a blog page. I interpreted it as having you own blog website , that should compete with other expert website. I was wondering if the first step of your funnel can be the opt-in page. The blogs that refers to the opt-in page are guestblogposts on expert websites, so multiple ways of traffic and seo.

So you are only building an opt-in page, thank you page, landing pages etc on your website, but no blog to become an expert. Is that something you can do?

Or is that not Google friendly or most expert websites are against? The blog is nice to have as it builds trust and attention. But yep, you can start from the opt in page if you have traffic. Thats Really interesting, But want to ask maximum how much can I earn, waiting for your positive reply: If you do well? Up to a few thousand dollars per day no doubt. Hello Gael I just read your post.

But why are you giving away such gold for free. Awesome post… I agree with other commenters: I have a good experience with Clickbank, this is the first network which gave me bucks. Thanks a lot for that awesome share. Dear Gael, what your suggestion about that I will tell you: When you refer to writing a blog post; are you assuming that one has a niche site already built or can this blog post live on a lead page for example?

Can I ask do you use Google Adwords if you have your own website? Of have they really cracked down on squeeze and landing pages?? Adwords will let you promote squeeze pages but not the short ones we are used to.

I suggest you look into Leadpages, they have Adwords compliant squeeze pages. Thanks Gael for this wonderful article, showing me completely new stuff.

I used to promote clickbank products the old fashion way but it does not works anymore. Hey Gael nice job love you post. I would like to get started on this clickbank and i could use some new trick. My question is where could i find some cheap PPC to start with.

Thanks and again nice post. It takes longer but its by far the cheapest cost per view. I really enjoyed reading your article, it is rombust, articulate and very informative. I want to start my own website, i have gathered over 50 emails, please advice me…and how much do i need to get a good website? Great post very use full after reading that post im thinking to start work on Clickbank: How many blog post do you recommend i have on my blog? I was actually thinking if you could set minimun number, because i need to outsource all my blog post, and i have a tight budget.

I think this is one of the most usefull article i ever read on selling clickbank products,this is pure gold,iam glad i saw this article,Thank you Gael. The value that you provided here is awesome. I really like the Value Oriented Media Funnel. What tool do you use to create the funnel diagram? Hey Gael, do all your blog posts have a mini funnel in the backend?

Hi,,, How are you doing? My first question is: What country are you from? No biggy, just curious…lol Tremendeous free teaching, that helps clear the smoke on what it takes to get an online business going. BUT, you concentrated on click bank and said nothing about getting my web site going and all the necessary details.

I always thought the web site as a business sign telling people that xyz is open for business, check it out! Otherwise, people would walk and not even knowing that your biz is open. Hi Gael, What a great post mate.

This is brilliant for newbies who are struggling to get a start and build up some confidence in their ability to become successful. Just getting those first few sign ups and a sale or two is very inspiring when you are starting out. You make some good points about giving value first and then gently selling your offer,too many marketers like to sell,sell,sell….

This drives me nuts,so I guess it happens to most potential customers. I hope to get more brilliant content from you in emails in the future to help me build my business.

I have been making money online for over a year now. Not in the big time yet, still consider myself to be learning my craft.

I was doing it really ineffectively using adsense and amazon along with a t shirt affiliate deal and driving traffic almost exclusively though facebook. With recent Facebook algorithm changes, my traffic dropped by about 50, hits per month… which cut my income dramatically.

Thankfully I had collated an email list of over a thousand highly targeted niche specific subscribers. Not that I knew what it was worth or how to use it. Because of this drop in income, I have been forced to try out other methods and systems. Just cold — sent it out telling people to have a look at the post.

I made over a hundred dollars from one email, in a single day. I have since been convinced that email really is the way forward. Imagine if I had spent the last year focused on collecting emails rather than getting adsense clicks!!!!

Lesson learned — with an email list you control your traffic. This article is priceless. I have spent weeks and weeks researching purely how to use an email list properly, and this is by far the best resource I have found.

Add to that, the 9 list building tools they are giving away as an email sign up incentive and you have total gold content. Thank you for dropping by and sharing your first hand experience with us. YES email is where money is made, Adsense is just gravy. Love the post, is there a way I can get samples of the three part emails you use to test?

Out is there some kind of resource that does a good job explaining it? I am going to have to put these tactics to work. Although I am currently working to create my product and I will be trying to find affiliates to sell it. I have no problem sharing a piece of the pie if people can bring in results. We are actually in the same boat but this system allows us to build similar funnels for affiliates and have them promote the opt in. We both make more and this makes our list much bigger for future promos: Thank you so much for sharing.

Glad I could make things tick Rebecca, good luck with everything! Now i am going to make a cup of coffee and then i will start applying what i learn right now …i hope for getting the first result …best come later: What is the typical time before some money starts flowing in?

I understand you cannot guarantee anything but some estimate would be relevant. I did a quick research and most articles claim that affiliate marketing takes about months to really show results.

In this age of instant gratification, that seems too long.: Looking forward to your response. Same here, Potentially you could set all of this up in 1 day and run Facebook ads to your content and make your first sale tonight. Realistically it will take you a few weeks to fine tune everything and make money. If you really want to make bank though you will have to create your own products most likely: Nothing new is shared here.

I bet you wrote this article to collect emails from digital marketers and pitch them products from CB. Bad karma for you! I just relaised that I wrote this long comment for nothing because you never gonna publish it. But I am happy that you read it this far. I am going to publish this comment because I think there is a valuable lesson here for those who are trying to learn. This blog is a business. Now as to your comment on traffic it is true, traffic is important.

But the truth is, acquiring traffic is easier than converting it. Plus we have many posts dedicated to traffic generation on this blog. Simply check this post , this post or this post. But must importantly, the reason why people struggle with traffic is that they try to promote a sales page or a heavily biased piece of content.

What this article teaches you is that if you produce something that is shareable and interesting, driving traffic to it is MUCH easier. You can use social media, you can run link building, you can share it on niche communities and nobody is going to ban it or downvote it.

Actually, if your front end is great value, people will share it around without you asking. The problem is, most people collect emails and have no idea what to do with them then or put the sales before the value. This post teaches them to put value first, sales second if they want to be successful. I have a few products mixed into my blog posts, and will be adding more. I have found CB to be a mixed bag so far — but need more time to see how it pans out.

Also wondering about setting up more sites to follow the funnel you set up. I was pleased to hear you mention having 3 follow ups in the responder sequence. Someone else had suggested 10! I figured by 4 or 5 you lost them anyway. Yes, ClickBank is a mixed bag, usually high gravity products convert decently though. The best way to pixel people who buy would be to offer a bonus and pixel people when they redeem the Bonus.

Or to contact the vendor for them to put your pixel on their thank you page. But I have one question do I need my own blog or site to start selling. I mean can I prepare a good article and post it somewhere else, in other words without my own website? Gael your free posts are better than some paid material I have seen. This is a great resource and you just got my email for your free seo course.

I have a question: What do you use to make all those nice graphics. Like the pros and cons list, and clickbank metrics? Hey Spencer, glad you liked the post. I use Photoshop, Skitch and Omnigrafle for the graphics: I have been dabbling in this type of research for several years now, but have not pulled the trigger on taking any action.

After your post, I am going to take action and give it a whirl. Thank you for your efforts. Great post, really enjoyed it and hope to apply it soon.

I read that GetResponse has limited possibilities to integrate with WordPress. Getresponse integrates fine with WordPress, not sure about what you read but all email systems work the same in that regard. Anyway we use Active Campaign now: Now it starting to make sense for once. I just want to learn this business and create a small passive income online in any niche.

Because I know very little, I was actually planning to use this very same Sales Funnel in your diagram and all the tools mentioned to make my first couple of bucks online. Thank for your feedback! This is definitely the most comprehensive guide anyone has ever put together for free. Really amazing content you have there,the one where you show how and where to put click bank offers on website is UNIQUE.

Such a wonderful posting and i got a lot of gems here. In what country were you born and raised? What other language s do you speak other than English?

Hey Frank, that revenue is just for Health Ambition, 1 site. Hi Gael, This is amazing. Seriously this is worth gold. Reading this article, I was intrigued by what you suggest about the autoresponder sequence.

You say that we should start with a 3-mail sequence wherein we promote products. What I think is that in other niches eg. After that we could probably send them a couple of promotional emails and a mix of content and promotion thereafter. Do you think this would work?

How To Make Money With ClickBank | Investopedia

Let us know what you think?? It works in other niches, we do it every single day: You mentioned 20 gravity is good. Would I still be able to make sales, or would it be too saturated? Exactly what I was looking for. So what software or tool do you recommend to build this sales funnel. Please bear in mind that I am a complete beginner at affiliate marketing. Thanks for the great insight! Is this part of the page comments section also included as part of Thrive?

If not, what do you recommend? You did a great job writing this Clickbank guide, alot of gold nuggest here. Traffic —-t0— content —-to—pop up and collecting emails ——sending the lead magnet ——-send them to sales page. We actually send people to a thank you page that links to the sales page usually after they opt in.

Keep up the great work! Hey Olivier, glad you liked the post! I describe how I make the images in this video: What an awesome guide!

So in-depth and such quality information. Thank you for taking the time to write this and share it with us. Outstanding blog post Gael! This guide for optimizing ClickBank as an affiliate is exactly what I was searching for. Thank you very much for sharing this. This is definitely the foremost comprehensive guide anyone has ever place along for gratis. I understand to the part of selecting an offer on clickbank and I registered as well. And I understand I need to get the link and I need to promote the product using the link.

You mentioned several methods: Do I always need a website to make this work? Thank you so much! In this case we are mostly talking about capturing emails and linking to the offer from the email but you could be linking in content too.

Essentially, you need free content and your own site to attract people and then capture emails and then promote offers. I will be expecting more. Thank you very much.

Error (Forbidden)

Wow, very helpful and Long articles learned manything from this. Thank you for sharing! Thank you for a post full of pure value. I really like the way you have explained the whole process in detail. When it comes to promoting offers from Clickbank, my biggest struggle is finding a good offer to promote, especially in the MMO niche.

I think I will experiment a bit with the health offers since there seem to be more decent offers to promote on Clickbank and outside it.

Yep the MMO niche is quite scammy and outdated stuff on Clickbank. I get the part about harvesting emails, but the problem I see with that, is that most reputable email marketing providers will cancel your account if you use it to send clickbank affiliate links. Getresponse is pretty good and totally fine with Clickbank offers being emailed. We usually build these things as autoresponder so most things are being promoted at one time. D but you compelled me to try again by that funnel strategy..

This is really gonna change life of many like me. Initially before two months I was not confident about making money using affiliate marketing.

But now i know its a serious business and require a lot of smart work than hard work. Thanks for such a valuable post. Without releasing specific product details, can you say what product type niche wise sells best for you on ClickBank? Hey David, usually the Dating, Finance and Health niches are the strongest. Hi, Great post about Clickbank here. However, not every blogger are able to get good money out of it.

Using the right tools, producing great content, solving your audience needs and problems, choosing relevant products or services to promote are some tips to reach success with affiliate marketing. This post is magnificent. Excellent Post Gael, I came across this post on the niche hacks group. I currently have a pure reviews site. I need to put a system in place that gives content and makes a funnel like you mentioned.

How about thinking of open an high-paid training course to make money with Clickbank like you did with AHP, Gael? If it happens, I believe that I will be the 1st slot to order right away ;. Clickbank is so profitable: We have a course on building what we call stage 1 authority sites sites which are essentially affiliate sites coming up so watch out: Thank you for this article! I finally have a clear and concise plan of action! On a time scale, how far apart should the 3 part auto responder emails go out?

How soon should I send the first one? We usually email once daily and yep, you can promote several offers. So the Content Upgrade is the best way to convert good. How can I make use of content upgrade for a site that primarily needs videos to illustrate the exercises and movements. You can make commissions and people will download it. I honestly am in awe. It was information overload! To be honest fellas, this has caused me to rethink my monetization strategy for my blog.

This means that I HAVE to check out Clickbank to see what kinds of goodies they carry in my niche. It would be foolish to ignore this sound advice, and I never considered myself a fool. Thanks a billion for the heads up. Just one more thing: Well let me ask you a question back. How often do brands pitch you when you sign up for their email?

Usually 10 out of How can you people just open a branch. In fact countries like Uganda and Tanzania are members of Clickbank. We are looking if Clickbank is a solution to generate some extra revenue on our business template website.

For example, if our page contains a drop shipping agreement template only drop shipping related Clickbank content if presented. I always lost the commissions through a monthly charge. This took any income to zero. After doing this a few time I gave up and use resell rights products or jvzoo now instead. Can you see this type of system with funnels etc. Thanks for your time!
