ClickBank is definitely a leading connection between product developers and affiliate marketers. It's also a place that buyer can go directly to purchase information products. Plus ClickBank has a positive reputation for its ease of use.
With all that going for it, just upload your information products and you're good to go, right? Not exactly. You might make a few sales, but if you want to make ClickBank a centerpiece of your marketing, then you have to do more than just upload, post a link and wait.
Set up targeted minisite. Create catchy sales copy to accompany it. You can also add a video demonstration or an audio that expands on the product. Offer a "bribe" or freebie when the viewer clicks that Buy Now button.
If you have strong testimonials, add them on the sales page or with video clips that are scattered inside the sales copy. Post product reviews. Write short reviews or ask a colleague to review your product.
If you're looking for reviewers, offer the product free to a limited number of potential reviewers. This is a popular technique on marketing forums to get testimonials. You can also get reviews from people who are significant contributors to forums in your niche. Then get those reviews posted on as many sites, forums and discussion boards as possible.
Trade mailing lists. Contact sites with comparable niche interests and tell them about your ClickBank product. Offer an affiliate sales opportunity. You can also agree to trade mailings - your offer to their lists, and then a few weeks later send their offer to your list.
Since any sale makes an affiliate commission for the seller, everyone wins. If you find that your product doesn't get picked up by affiliates, reduce your cut and increase the profit for affiliate sales. Information marketing is about volume, so remember that 40% of 1,000 sales is worth more than 60% of 100 sales.
Keep it fresh. Like produce, eBooks have a certain shelf life. Even if the information is still good, add a new twist or update at least twice annually. Unless you've written a true classic, then you'll begin to see a downturn in sales.
That's the time to tweak it. You can make a slight title change or a major change. Just give the buyer a reason to find this interesting. If you're doing a tweak, contact your best affiliate sellers to let them know that there's new information or updates worth sending to the their list again.

Article nine 5/08
Here are the few factors I will consider when I am selecting a new ClickBank product.
1) Is the sales page (the one you see when you click "view pitch page") professional enough?
Always visit the pitch page of the product that you are considering. Imagine yourself as the visitor. Is the copywriting convincing? Is the page easy to read? Does the flow of the sales pitch motivate you to finish reading the whole page, or even entice you to buy the product in any way? A powerful sales page is very important as it is like your "spokesperson" after you successfully drive your targeted traffic to it. Whether the visitor is sold on the product or not depends a lot on what they are reading.
2) How is the commission percentage and amount per sale? (refer to the statistics below each product)
Well, I would recommend commission percentages of 50% to 70% at least. The commission earned per sale I would prefer is $15 and above. Of course, I do promote others that give lesser commissions, if I think it is a good product.
3) What is the gravity of the product? (refer to the statistics below each product)
I will go for any product that has a gravity of 40 to 100. Depending on the niche, I may promote products with gravity 20 to 30 as well. Too high a gravity means that there are many affiliates in the market promoting the product, but it also means the product is selling well. I would probably stay away from products with gravity higher than 200.
4) What is the percentage referred? (refer to the statistics below each product)
This reflects the percentage of the publisher's sales that are referred to by affiliates. If there are enough affiliates promoting, it usually ranges above 70%. This shows that the product converts quite well and is profitable such that there are people who recognise the effort to promote it. However, do also take note that anywhere above 90% also shows that it is getting more and more competitive. If you have paid advertising campaigns, it would probably cost you a lot more.
5) Do a search of the product keyword at Google
Does it return a large number of results and many sponsored listings (AdSense)? If there are at least some sponsored listings, it means that the product is considered profitable enough to be promoted by affiliates who think it is worthwhile to advertise it. But if there are 10 pages or more of sponsored listings, I would think it has become too competitive and would rather look for some other niche to promote.
Well, as you see, it's not too difficult to select a ClickBank product you can promote. If you can, I would also recommend getting a copy of the product you wish to promote first. It's an advantage to be able to examine the ins and outs of the product and provide an unbiased, honest review of it. You will be able to tell your potential customers what you really think about it. Conversion rates from reviews are often known to be much higher than other methods of promotion, so it's a worthwhile deal if you can get the money back with just two or three sales.

Article eight 6/08
The ClickBank Marketplace is where you can select the products you want to promote as an affiliate. When you refer customers to any of these products and generate a sale, you will earn a percentage of that purchase.
Every product listed in the ClickBank Marketplace is associated with a sales commission rate. Most percentage ranges of popular products are from 50% to 75%. When you search for products, besides searching by category, do you know you can sort them by popularity, gravity, amount earned per sale, % earned per sale, future sale amount, total amount per sale and % referred too? These statistics could possibly foretell the profitability of the product and the niche, so before you start, get a good understanding of what these terms mean.
1) Amount Earned Per
This is the average net amount each affiliate earns per referred sale. This amount can be affected by subsequent refunds, charge backs and sales taxes. My guideline is to choose a product that pays at least $15 to $20 per sale as too low a commission is not viable if I were to use paid advertising methods.
2) Future
This is the average total rebill revenue an affiliate earns due to sales. If there are multiple rebills, this is taken as the average sum. Products with rebills will earn you recurring income after you have made the sale.
3) Total Amount Per
This is the sum of all initial sales and rebills divided by the number of initial sales. It is the average total amount per sale, including all rebills that may come from the sale.
4) % Earned Per
This is the average percentage commission earned per affiliate per referred sale. This number should be consistent unless the merchant changes their payout percentage with time. I would target a product with at least 50% commission earned per sale.
5) % Referred (%refd)
This is the percentage of the merchant's total sales that are referred by affiliates. A healthy range would be around 70% to 85%. This suggests that there are enough affiliates promoting, but not too many such that the market gets too crowded.
6) Gravity (grav)
This measures the number of distinct affiliates who have successfully converted their customers into buying the product. This number is not the actual number of affiliates, but is reflected as a weighted sum, with more current referrals carrying more weight. I would go for a product with gravity of 40 to 100 as it also shows that the conversion is good enough for affiliates to carry on promoting the product. If the gravity goes really high like 200 onwards, there may be too many affiliates competing and advertising may get overly competitive.
When I first started out in promoting ClickBank products, I was clueless about these information. I simply chose popular products from the niche I was interested in. Some had good conversion rates, while others did not make a single sale. I got smarter in my product choices after I realised that the information does help affiliates recognise the potential of the product. And the best thing is, it is always up to date according to recent sales activity!

Article seven
You know almost every Clickbank author does it: giving away free bonus reports to encourage visitors to subscribe to a newsletter or mini-course. But there are a few caveats to be aware of. In fact, the "free bonus" technique" many Clickbank authors use can actually do more to inhibit their ebook sales than help them.
HOW THIS WORKS
You no doubt know how free bonuses work. Someone has an ebook to sell and they
set up a pitch page to promote the product as well as a squeeze page to collect
visitor's names and e-mail addresses. So when you get to their pitch page, they
make an offer to send you a free report if you sign up for their newsletter or
free mini-course. The concept is great--and it works!
THE REPORT MUST HAVE VALUE
However, this technique is predicated upon the fact that the free report the
visitors receive will be perceived as having a good value. It should convince
the visitors that the author does indeed have some degree of useful knowledge
related to the topic of their ebook.
This is where the technique begins to fall apart in many cases. Let me give you a real-life example to illustrate how the "free report" technique can actually kill the chances of selling your ebook if you use it improperly.
A REAL-LIFE EXAMPLE
Last week I visited a web site which promoted an ebook which claimed to show
other authors how to make money on-line by selling information. That's what I
do myself for a living, so I bit on the offer: a free report that claimed it
would show exactly how to make $100,000 selling ebooks on line.
So I gave up my information--my name and e-mail address, in exchange for the free report. And yup, I got my download instructions immediately. I downloaded the free report.
WHAT I GOT
The author's report was about 4-5 pages. She told that making $100,000 a year
is a scary figure because it is so big. Her "secret blueprint" can be
summed up in a couple sentences: Making 100,000 dollars a year can be broken
down into a more manageable task when you consider that all you are required to
do is to make about $270 a day (100,000 divided by 365 days in a year). So, all
one really has to do is to develop a plan that will allow them to make that
$270 a day selling their ebook, and voila!--you will be making $100,000 a year.
I kid you not; That was here "secret" blueprint" for making 100k a year. I mean, this was such an utter con that, after receiving this one free publication from her, I would never even remotely consider purchasing any publication from this author no matter how many promises she made about it.
BAD INFORMATION WILL TURN VISITORS AWAY!
My point is this: If you are going to use free reports as teasers to encourage
visitors to sign up for your newsletter, make darned sure that the report
provides evidence of the fact that you have some modicum of expert advice to
give the reader. It needs to prove to them that you are indeed an expert so
that they will come back and consider actually buying from you.
If your report fails to do that, you will actually hurt your future sales by using this technique. So choose the content of your free reports wisely.

You think you can't make a penny with AdWords because it's so expensive? Ok, that's what you've heard all over the internet. That could be true for the newbie or for someone who just doesn't have a clue how to use it to its fullest to generate real money power.
First you need to choose the right product through Clickbank to promote. YES it does matter what product you choose to become successful using this method.
The next important thing you need to do is set up a highly effective campaign that will blast you and your business through the roof. Now lets find the right products.
You want a product that's worth your time and efforts. Check out the commission rate on the product, make sure you will be getting paid at least 25% or more on the product. For best results, you should choose a product that's not too expensive, you may get paid more on each product but if you are selling a product that's less than $50 you will always get MORE sells, it happens every time. A product will not sale well if the sales page is plain, boring and sour. Always check out the sales page for any product you may like. This is vital to success.
Now you can start looking in the Clickbank Market Place for your Favorite Products.
Then you will find out which product sales are rising and which ones are declining. You will see all the publishers ranking history and a lot more information with "affiliates alert." More information on that later.
Now you need to see how much competition you have promoting this product. You need to find out how many people is promoting your product using your keywords and how many similar campaign ads appear in AdWords. If its too many, you may be wasting your precious time.
Do a search at Overture for the number of searches in the last month. This is very helpful, and you can also see how many current ad campaigns there are.
Once you have all your keywords in place, you will have a winning campaign. You can analyze your ad campaign with Ad Word Analyzer, it will provide you a list of related keywords phrases for your ad. YES it's a lot of work, but if you spend a little time, you will get highly rewarded really soon, you can make your first sale in hours from the time you're finish doing your research.

Clickbank super affiliates can either make or break you big product launch. If you have a product you are trying to sell on Clickbank you will have to recruit the best affiliates. It's a must to have the best affiliates promoting your products, they are the ones that can turn you product into a smash hit. Without them your product launch will most likely be a dud.
The elite Clickbank super affiliates have earned upwards of $400k a year. It's a staggering amount of money when you really sit back and think about it. When you have an army of affiliates promoting your product and sending swarms of visitors to your website it's no wonder they can make you and them so wealthy.
Did you know Clickbank shells out over 200 million dollars a year their top sellers. Imagine how much money your product can make if you had these insanely profitable affiliates on your side.
Too many times as marketers we complain about selling on Clickbank. We vent about the high cost structure and we sometimes forget about how their affiliates can literally make or break our campaign. If there were no affiliates out there to help us promote our products then we would probably be making 75% less on all our product launches.
You can go ahead and set up your own method to selling your product and of course Clickbank does have some small drawbacks. But, have you ever heard of a Clickbank account being frozen. No, you haven't. It seems to me, Pay Pal freezes accounts at will because they do not understand the nature of digital downloads. Plus, you have to track all of your affiliates and make sure they all get paid and I do not want to even scratch the surface of what happens at tax time if you do not use Clickbank.
Once you have figured out how to recruit the best Clickbank super affiliates, you will have no money making the money you have always desired.

I had heard so much about Tim Godfrey and his Profit Praxis. This new product is quickly rising to the top page rankings at clickbank. Fortunately, I was able to secure a copy of the material and to watch all of his videos. Is Profit Praxis worth the $47, or is this another one of those "over-promised and under-delivered" products that is a complete waist of your time and money? First, let me give you my thoughts after reviewing the material, and I'll start off by showing you what the package comes with. Because you get so much material I'll try to break it down for you.
First, you get a number of top quality ebooks. The most important one is his Profit Praxis Blueprint. Here, he shows you his unique strategies that makes him over $1,000 per day on clickbank. He covers everything and discloses all of his secrets to you. At the core of Tim's message is affiliate marketing with clickbank products. His method is to set up a number of "review" websites where you analyze various products and then give your #1 recommendation. A visitor to your site will click on various clickbank products to check them out. If a person leaves the product page without buying, you have a "exit popup" capture their email address with your bonus offer. How are you able to put up a "exit popup" on someone else's page? For obvious reasons, I cannot tell you that. The other ebooks you get cover a wide range of topics:
- The Profit Praxis Bible - which is a collection of marketing tactics and triggers for salescopy.
- CPA Profits - how to make money with Cost Per Action
- The Free Traffic Ebook - using traffic exchanges for free traffic
- Google Adwords Sneak Attack Report
- Yahoo Answers Traffic
- Social Bookmarking Traffic
Second, as a bonus you get three audios from mega affiliates Mark Joyner, Joe Vitale, and Ted Nicholas. I have not listened to these audios, but given their larger than life stature in the internet marketing industry, they will no doubt be very good.
Third, Tim Godfrey presents to you a number of video tutorials. He starts off with giving you two google adwords video training session. The first one is on how to lower your costs per click to as low as 5 cents. The second video is on how to reduce your adwords costs by 300% while remaining at the #1 position - a very sneaky trick indeed. Because Tim is into large volume, he uses Speed PPC to manage and implement his adwords marketing.
As well, you get video training on:
- Setting up Dynamic Landing Pages
- How to set up your Autoresponder
- 3 videos on Article Marketing
- A Quick Affiliate Trick - Make $300 from $40
- Creating and Flipping Digital Products
- A Secret Web 2.0 Tool That Dominates Google Rankings
Fourth, one thing about doing a Profit Praxis Review that is so enjoyable to me is when I look at the tools and resources that are included. Not only does Profit Praxis give you information, but he also delivers on template website and review sites to implement his strategies. Tim Godfey gives to you the source code files, images, and the video tutorials on how to edit them with your website building software and then upload them to your server.
Here are the templates you get, with video tutorials on each one:
- Acne Niche Website with Bonus and Articles
- Weight Loss Website with Bonus and Articles
- Golf Instruction Squeeze Page with Autoresponder messages
- Online Gambling 10 Page Website with Autoresponder messages
- Profit Praxis Squeeze Page with Autoresponder messages
- Spanish Course Squeeze Page with Autoresponder messages
- Private Labels Rights Website With 4 PFL Products
- Money Making Website with PLF eBook to Edit and Enhance
What I like about it is that you not only get information, but also the websites, source codes, image files, articles, autoresponder message, and so on. From my experience, Profit Praxis is well worth the money if you want to learn how to sell info products. In fact, it would be hard pressed to find a better package for under $500. I can't believe it's only $47.

so cheap that the percentage pay out on that site would be very low, Compare
$16.95 hard-cover books to a 49.99 e-book – if you got 50% commission on both
which would you choose to promote?
A good program to start is an Affiliate Clickbank Program by selling products
from Click bank. They have thousands of products to promote with very high
