3 Easy and Cheap Ways to Make Money With Clickbank

Clickbank is the leading marketplace for electronic products. They have developed a system that makes it extremely easy for both publishers and affiliates to make money with Clickbank. Since the products you can promote are almost all digital (think ebooks) the publishers can afford to share a large amount of the sale with you. Many products offer a 50-75% commission which can pay out as much as $100 per sale. The best products convert extremely well, so if you can send lots of traffic to a product you can make lots of money. If you are new to affiliate marketing (or just looking to expand your knowledge), here are 3 easy and cheap ways to make money with Clickbank.

Squidoo Marketing

Squidoo is an excellent place for novice internet marketers to get their feet wet in making affiliate sales. Squidoo allows anyone to make their own web page on nearly any topic imaginable. Instead of building your page (or as they call it a lens) with html they give you a list of hundreds of modules for you to customize your lens with. This means that anyone, no matter how much experience they have, can build a Squidoo lens to promote a click bank product. Just give some good information about the topic you are focusing on, and make them a pitch on how the Clickbank product you are promoting is the solution they are looking for.

Video Marketing

Youtube is now the #3 most visited site on the internet, and many marketers are now taking advantage of this by promoting Clickbank products in their videos. One of the best aspects of video marketing is how much Google likes to rank videos high in the SERPS. You can post a video on YouTube and it can be ranked on the first page of Google within the hour. Unlike some video sites YouTube does allow you to put a live link in the description of your video. You will probably need to buy a domain so you can redirect to your affiliate link (instead of posting the odd looking clickbank hop link). One simple tip that can boost your YouTube profits is to call attention to the link that is located next to the video. If you are doing a screen capture mention it and create an arrow that points to it, and if you are doing a live video you can point to that side as you talk about them clicking the link.

Article Marketing

Article marketing is one of the most tried and true ways to make money with Clickbank. If you are reading this article then it's proof that article marketing works. This article was published at Ezinearticles, which is the #1 directory for article marketing. When I find a Clickbank product that I want to promote the first thing I do is write 10 articles on the subject. This forces me to do the research on the topic so I can easily get in the prospect's head, plus I can usually get a ton of traffic (and sales) off those 10 articles. If a product does well for me after those 10 articles I ramp up my promotional efforts (I usually start with writing 10 more articles and doing video and Squidoo marketing as well).
