Using Clickbank
This is a two-part series on How to Make Money Online Using Clickbank
What is ClickBank and how can I use it to make money online?
ClickBank is an online company that hooks up publishers with advertisers. You can use ClickBank to buy sell and promote digital products. Are digital products usually come in the form of e-books(read my article about Producing and Promoting E-books.)
This section will discuss how you can use ClickBank to make money online by promoting e-books and selling your own.
First let us discuss how to promote other people's digital products to make money online.
By going to ClickBank's Marketplace you can browse through the topics which range from Business to Business to Health & Fitness to Marketing and Ads plus many more. Select the one closest to your website, newsletter, email campaign, blog, e-book(or whichever one interests you). You will then get a list of products which you can promote. To help you the publisher, ClickBank releases some information about the selling trends of the product. They are :
1. $Earned/Sale: This is the average net amount earned per affiliate per referred sale. By the way...this is the net earned per actual sale, and so its effected by such things as refunds, and taxes.
2. Future $: Average total rebill revenue earned by the affiliate due to sales from a site. This is because a lot of products are subscription based. For example, you can be earning 10/month as long as the person you directed to the site is still paying.
3. Total $: This is the total amount per sale, This means, you take the original sale, add up all the re-bills and then devide that number by the number of sales.
4. %Earned/Sale: This number should be different if the publisher (product provider) changes his/her commission amount, so watch for that.
5. %Referred: Fraction of publisher's total sales that are referred by affiliates.
6. Gravity: Number of distinct affiliates who earned a commission by referring a paying customer to the publisher's products. This is a weighted sum and not an actual total. For each affiliate paid in the last 8 weeks we add an amount between 0.1 and 1.0 to the total. The more recent the last referral, the higher the value added.
One you find a product that you are satisfied with, click on link that says "create hoplink. A hoplink is is a normal HTML code that tells ClickBank that if the visitor you send to the website buys the product you get credited and hence you receive your commission. It is that simpler
TIP : Search the website of the product for a section dedicated to you the affiliate. A lot of times they will provide banners and tools to help you promote the product.
After selecting a product you are familiar with, write up a short review. You should aim to write 5 reviews a week. It shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes for each review, and do not make it longer than 200 to 250 words. You do not have to buy the product to review it, simply find out what others are saying about the product by searching the internet and writing your own unique description. If you are not interested in writing reviews or want to have them ready at bulk so you can concentrate on marketing your website, you should consider using a service like Web Now Services. They can write you reviews in a short time at a cost of a measly penny a word.
