ClickBank Product Selection : Affiliate Marketers Problem

22 Sep

You do not have your own product but you want to earn on the internet? Do you want to give up your cubicle to work-at-home? How do you earn if you do not have a product? There is a way and hundreds of Affiliate Marketers have been successful in it.

You may have a website, you understand autoresponder, and you know how to build your mailing list. How will these help you become a profitable internet entrepreneur?

The answer is ClickBank.com. ClickBank is a marketplace with thousands of products available. These products are available for sale and for affiliate marketers as well. Many internet marketers earn from ClickBank by merely promoting existing products.

ClickBank is easy to use and therefore, even novice marketers can earn good with ClickBank. All you need is a little understanding of the market, the niche, and the popularity of your subject.

ClickBank offers features like:

  • Any one can work on with ClickBank and sell from it anywhere you have internet connection.

  • ClickBank affiliates can choose their own working hours. All they need is to promote the product and affiliates will get a commission. Product development is therefore not an issue with affiliates.

  • You do not need to keep an inventory of the products you want to promote. You do not have to buy it, all you need is to refer a buyer into the manufacturer’s website, and if your website browser decides to buy, then you earn a commission from this sale.

  • You do not need to deal with customers. ClickBank and the product manufacturer do servicing.

  • No shipping and handling. All products are digital and services that does not need shipping or handling. No packaging, most of them are available through download.

  • You spend minimal up-front investment. All you need is an understanding of the product and a registration.

  • You are in control of your business; your success is entirely up to you.

  • Commission rate ranges from 20% to 70% for easy sale. Where else can you get a commission this high other than from ClickBank.

ClickBank pays affiliates every 15th and 30th of the month. It is therefore easy to get paid and thus you will realize profit sooner than you think.

Now, you know that it is easy to earn good commission in ClickBank; you are now ready to select a product to promote.

How to choose ClickBank products to promote?

Think of your stored knowledge. What subject are you familiar with. What niche market can you continuously solve problems with? What subject or niche are you willing to spend time on research and creating articles about?

The products in your niche will be the best product you will promote. If you are passionate about a subject, this can be a good niche for you to market. If you are passionate about it, it will not be difficult for you to research and talk about this subject for long hours.

Other things you need to consider:

  • Popularity
  • Commission per Sale
  • Effectivity of the sales letter
  • Website professionalism
  • What people have to say about the product

Popularity

Are many affiliate marketers promoting this product? If this product is popular among affiliate marketers, chances are, this product is good and that there are many people interested in buying this product.

This works the same with understanding the niche market. If there are advertisers in such a niche then there is possibility of earning from this niche.

For a product, there should be a good chance of earning well in commission from this product if it is popular. There are statistics you can look at to decide if the product is a good bet for you. If there are many people searching for this product or service, chances are there are advertisers. If there are advertisers, this is a profitable product to promote.

You do not need to choose the most popular product and promote this product alone. You need to have a number of products in your portfolio and you need to review all of them as well.

Update your list every so often. You will need to know which once sell well. Popularity may change form time to time.

Commission per Sale

You may also look at the commissions earned by affiliate on a certain product. If there are many affiliates earning good commission in the product then this is a good product to promote.

You may also think of your commission per sale. If you want to earn good promoting ClickBank products, look at a product that will pay $20.00 commission per sale. Whatever commission rate is offered, you need to earn a minimum of $20.00 to ensure that you will be able to have a few dollars in your pocket after hours of hunting for clients.

You will also be able to find trending on commissions paid per sale. This will help you decide if this is the product, you can promote and if there are interests in this ClickBank product.

Effective Sales Letter

You are successful leading your visitors to your manufacturer’s website, he sees the sales letter, he will do either of two things, click back, or read the offering?

It is therefore important for you to look at the sales letter. If the sales letter is enticing for you to read to the bottom, this could be good.

Remember, the sales letter needs to grab your attention in the first 8 seconds. If it does, then may be the sales letter will grab your buyers attention as well.


If it provides solution to a problem and continuously hook you into the product, then may be it may do the same with buyer.

Conversion may be good if the sales letter is easy to read. The sales letter has to have an effective first paragraph, good sub-headings and short paragraphs. Another important thing, does it states a unique selling proposition?

It is provides everything a good sales letter is, then, this product will be able to convert browsers to sales.

Your link will therefore work to your advantage. Promote this product and you may earn good at it.

Website professionalism

Does the website have a headline that catches your attention? Does it have a benefit driven headline?

Is it professionally designed?

Did the website keep you interested longer than 8 seconds?

If the website carries a good headline and captures your interest, there is a chance you can promote it and convert browsers into buyers.

Does the website provide testimonials from satisfied buyers?

Finally, if the website has a money back guarantee, many ClickBank buyers may not worry pulling out their wallet and paying for the product you are affiliate with.

What people have to say about the product?

As a final measure for the profitability of a ClickBank product, try to look for reviews online.

Good reviews will assure you that the product is a good product to promote.


You may also see bad reviews and comments. Analyze the product not just with good reviews but bad reviews as well. This will give you an understanding of what problems others may face with the product.

You can therefore mention that in your campaigns and promotional letters. If the good reviews out weight the bad reviews, you are good with this product.

The above points may help you to choose a ClickBank product to promote properly. These tips however will not ensure your success if you do not work well on your promotional campaigns.

You may also think of your website design. Again, I will presume at this point that you have designed your website to your niche or subject of interest. If you do and you choose the product within the same niche, there is no problem promoting the product.

There may be other parameters for you to look for in choosing the ClickBank product to promote. Let the next section help you in proper ClickBank product selection.

Think again, do you have enough information on this niche? If you do, then may be this is the best product you can link your business into.

Here’s what I do:

I go to Clickbank’s Marketplace and search for a niche. I selected 50 items per page so that I can see many items and sort by popularity to display the popular products first on the list then I will list down all products that will display.

When the products displayed, find if there are affiliate links indicated in the description, view the sales page to check if the product is good or not and write down the hop link (affiliate link). You also need not to rely on the gravity or popularity because you don’t know how many affiliates are promoting the product that is why the popularity is high and sometimes when the gravity is very low, you don’t know if the product is just new. So, you need to list it down and check it later. Maybe the product was really good but no affiliate is promoting it.

Niche Research

22 Sep

It is your decision to enter the field of online marketing. You understand that Affiliate Marketing can help you become profitable in this new field. You have registered your domain name and hired a web-hosting service that will help you become profitable.

You are ready to generate campaigns and build your mailing list. However, how can you ensure that you will reach the people who are interested with your products or your affiliate products?

How do you know if there are people interested in your product or your niche market?

How do you conduct niche research?

How do you recognize if the niche you are about to enter has interest and profitability in it.

If your niche does not have many people interested in it, we can only hope you stay in business longer.

Of course, we are here to help you, thus we will discuss how to conduct niche research that will benefit your business.

Why do niche research?

Niche research is important because it will define the volume of people interested in your product or your affiliate product. There should be a good amount of people interest in your niche subject if you want to become successful and profitable.

Do not enter the online business arena without thinking of the people who have interest in it. It may cause you to loose you excitement in your new business and your investment may go with it.

Know if there are people interested in your subject and if there are advertisers in such a niche. If there are advertisers in your niche, then it will tell you that there are people buying products in such a niche.

It will also help you conduct your campaigns well and reach potential buyers easily if you do your niche research.

Advertisers will not pay for time slots and banners postings if there is no interest in such a niche.

This is what you need to know to ensure that you can find solution to problems and thus if you can provide the solution to their problems people will buy your products.

The niche research will likewise provide you with insight on how to build your mailing list. Having a mailing list with many names in it will give you a good chance of profiting from your niche.

How do you do your niche research?

Think of the main keyword that will spell out your product or the affiliate product you are selling.

Think of as many keywords as possible.

Let us look at an example: You are a pet lover. You know much about dog training and this is the niche market you are entering.

You will research as much about dogs, dog training, and other dog service variations. Know how many websites and advertisements are in your niche. During your research, you will know which keywords are hot in your niche.

Use the popular keywords in your website, your articles and in all your campaigns.

When an internet browser searches for your keyword, and you have successfully peppered your articles with it, then, your article will rank high on search engines. When the internet browser clicks on your article, he will see the advertisements and when he clicks, that is a signal that this is a targeted customer.

Now, you do this based on your product or service. However, if you do not have a product, you will still be able to earn from a niche research by researching products you have knowledge of and affiliating yourself with it it.

It’s important to affiliate marketers to be involve in an inner circle. It can help affiliate marketers to know the new products that will launch.

JV Notify Pro (http://jvnotifypro.com) can help you achieve that. Visit it now and register for free.

You can start by researching the profitable niche/keywords before selecting Clickbank Products to promote.

What Is Affiliate Marketing And Why It Is Profitable?

22 Sep

Are you interested in a work at home business? Do you want to become an internet entrepreneur working at home? If you do, then, understanding affiliate marketing may help you become a successful and profitable internet entrepreneur. To help you in your quest for success and profit, this report will provide you with all the knowledge you will need to succeed.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate Marketing is the online marketing term used to mean profit sharing or revenue sharing. It works by publishing an advertising banner or link in the affiliate’s website. The affiliate website will earn from every sales generated by the product manufacturer through the advertising banner or link.

There are various forms of Affiliate Marketing program and the revenue generated from each of these programs varies as well.

The affiliate looks like this: http://affiliateid.merchantid.hop.clickbank.net

Anyway, Clickbank.com is the most popular website for affiliate marketers. Why? Because most affiliate marketers get a product to promote from Clickbank.com’s marketplace.

If the merchant gives some marketing materials to promote their site then use it. Sometimes they will give you an article, blog content, banners, autoresponder emails, complete website, videos and press release content. So if you see a banner or an ecover image then find out what is the location of that image. By right clicking the image you will see the correct location of the image (banner or ecover image).

When you know the correct location of the image then copy it. Example, if the image location is http://themerchantdomain.com/images/ecover.gif then if you want to use that and make it clickable then this is what you need :

<a href=” http://affiliateid.merchantid.hop.clickbank.net”><img src=”http://themerchantdomain.com/images/ecover.gif” border=”0”></a>

Don’t forget to change the affiliateid into your own affiliate id from Clickbank.com when you signup and change the merchantid into the Clickbank id of the merchant.

Be sure to cloak or hide your affiliate link so no one can hijack your affiliate commissions. You can use the service of http://www.tinyurl.com for this.

If you don’t have an affiliate id then you need to signup with Clickbank.com.

Types of Affiliate Programs

  • PayPerClick, the affiliate marketer receives revenue when a customer clicks the link leading to the manufacturer’s website.

  • PayPerSale, the affiliate marketer receives revenue when a customer purchase a product advertised in the affiliate marketer’s website.

  • PayPerLead, this is where affiliate marketer receives a commission on every lead generated by the advertisement on his website.

PayPerClick Affiliate Program

PayPerClick is an affiliate program that is easy to get revenue from. You will get a commission from all clickthroughs from your website leading to the manufacturer’s website. The commission from the impressions made manufacturer’s website may be quite small, on an average you will only .25% to 1% commission from the clickthroughs. This program constitutes only 1% of Affiliate Program profitability.

My favorite PayPerClick affiliate program is Google Adsense of Google.com. I use this only to my sites that have large traffic but the product is possibly saturated and most of the information can be get for free. Imagine if you have 1,000 visitors and the ads was located in the center of your website then if you get at least 50 clicks on it and the niche you researched paid at least $0.5 per click then you can have $25 per day per site. So, you need to research a keyword that pays at least a dollar to get at least $50 a day per site. So if you earn $50/per site per day then that means you can earn $1500 per month per site. Did you know that some people pay more than $50 per click. It was crazy but it’s true.

Be smart in researching the keywords you use in your site because Google displays ads depend on your topic. The topic with high pay per click values are technology, surgery, financial related and health problems like cancer.

PayPerSale Affiliate Program

PayPerSale is the most profitable affiliate program. Eighty percent of affiliate earnings come from PayPerSale Affiliate Programs. Customers clicking from the affiliate website needs to make a purchase before the affiliate marketer can get compensation. In most cases, pay ranges from 20% to 75% commission in every sale. It is therefore important that your website visitor do not only click but actually purchases a product from the manufacturer’s portfolio.

This one is my favorite. Imagine if the product you choose is $97 and the commission is 75% then you could earn $72.75 per sale and if you have one sale per day then you could earn $2,182.5. Just select a good product. Check the merchant’s website if it is a professional site, if the site is designed well and if the site sale letter can convert your visitor into a buyer.

PayPerLead Affiliate Program

PayPerLead is another affiliate program. 10% of affiliate marketers use this method. Customers need to do a certain action before revenue may be given to the Affiliate Marketing. It is therefore necessary that you send targeted clients to the manufacturer’s website to get a good compensation from this Affiliate Program.

I like FriendFinder.Com for this program because every signup I could earn at least a dollar. If the member I sent is a woman then FriendFinder will pay me $2 and if I sent them a man then they will pay me a dollar per signup. You can get more payperlead programs at cj.com.

Here’s the information about FriendFinder, the date as I type this:

FriendFinder is the largest online dating personals site with 2,003,040 registered members and award-winning content. This site is targeted toward singles looking for love, romance, and even marriage. It’s an excellent revenue generating program for any website.

Get a flat $25.00 for every order, regardless of the purchase amount (starts at $19.95) or up to 100% of the membership fees (between $19.94 and $139.95 plus bonus) or $2.00 for every woman and $1.00 for each man who signs up for free!

To summarize, if you want to become a profitable affiliate marketer, you will need to ensure that you choose the most profitable Affiliate Marketing Program. You may benefit from joining other less profitable affiliate programs to find targeted customers.

Again, you cannot wait for profit to come in. If you want to become profitable, you will need to reach the niche that will surely buy the product you advertise in your website.

ridiculously amount of money on keyword research tool subscriptions
