ClickBank is one of the largest sources of digital products, and some 10,000 merchants use ClickBank to sell their products.
ClickBank is great for merchants. It provides an affiliate scheme and processes credit cards on behalf of the merchants.
If you're wanting to start making serious money by selling products as an affiliate, ClickBank is also ideal. Just set up a free account, decide which ClickBank products you want to promote, get the special ClickBank "hoplink" for those products and start sending people to the merchant's sales page through your ClickBank affiliate link. Then start raking in the cash - usually at least 50% of the selling price.
There's nothing to it, is there? Sorry, but yes there is! Unless you're going to follow the example of most people trying to sell ClickBank products and making little or nothing for their efforts, you'll need to avoid the common mistakes that they make.
Promotion techniques such as putting banner ads on a website or adding affiliate links to either email and forum posting signatures, are not enough to convince people to buy anything through your ClickBank affiliate link.
Let me show you a method which I've used to great success. OK, you have to work at it a bit, but it will be well worth your while:
How To Write Product Review Pages
What you need to do is to spend a little time writing a review of any product you want to promote, and put this product review page on your website. You're aiming to convince people, not just to click through to the merchant's sales page using your affiliate link. You want them to arrive on the sales page all ready to buy. You are "pre-selling" them.
The reason why this technique is so successful is that more and more people, before they buy something online, look for reviews of the product. If you type "review" + a product name into Google, you're likely to find examples of product reviews.
Unfortunately, many people, even though they realise the benefits of review pages, still make elementary errors.
How To Improve Your Review Pages:
1) Don't fill your review with nothing but good points about the product. Find a few unimportant things that you don't like. These, of course, should more than countered by the good things!
2) Your purpose isn't to sell the product. That's the job of the merchant's sales page. Remember, you are aiming to send people to the sales page through your link, almost convinced that they want the product.
3) Don't copy any of the wording used on the sales page. As soon as the visitor goes to the sales page and recognises some of the words which were on review page, your credibility goes out of the window!
4) You'll be a lot more convincing if you have actually used (and liked) the product. You'll find that you can frequently get a copy of the product from the merchant without having to pay for it. Just tell the merchant that you want to write a review of it.
5) If there are other competing products, write a "comparative review". In this review you'll be comparing the product you're promoting with other less satisfactory products. If you use a "star rating system" (and I suggest that you do), your main product will, of course, rank higher than the others!
If you follow this plan, you should be able to make a lot more money by promoting ClickBank products. And if you use the tools in my ClickBank ToolKit, your work load will be lightened!
