Affiliate Marketing With ClickBank Marketplace

Most affiliate marketers start making money online with places like Clickbank and Amazon, these programs are great for people trying to market products online and make commissions. Today I would like to talk about Clickbank and give some tips about how Clickbank works. Clickbank is marketplace of digital products in which you can sign up as an affiliate or publisher. Becoming an affiliate means you can sign up free and market other peoples products online for a commission, that commission being as high as 75%. Being a publisher means you have created a digital product and have paid Clickbank to have your book in their marketplace . This will result in the potential of their list of 100 000 affiliates could be promoting your product if you leverage it the correct way. The Clickbank marketplace consists of 9 categories of digital products; these range from sports categories to health categories to marketing categories. In most cases you should be able to find a similar product for any type of niche that can convert.

Clickbank has a great thing called 'hoplinks' which are affiliate links that can be tracked up to six months , which means if someone took a look at your affiliate link and bookmarked it, then 5months later took a look again and purchased the product you would earn your commission. I recommend using redirect links to hide your hoplinks as they are fairly ugly and it is obvious to people you're just trying to make a sale. The best way to convert is buying a domain with a url for the product your going to be marketing and make a landing page for it, something simple but powerful. You can get info domains nowadays for .99 cents which work very well for landing pages. Also remember amongst the marketplace that it isn't necessarily better to promote products with a higher gravity over products with a lower gravity. A higher gravity means that the product is converting like crazy but it also means that likely its harder to market with things such as AdWords because they will be really competitive and you may end up paying like seven dollars a click depending on what keywords you target. Sometimes the products with lower gravity are new and fresh and easier to market because no one has been promoting them and you can find better AdWords keywords that are less competitive.

Be sure you check the products pitch pages and look for affiliate tabs, as most products on Clickbank have a section where the publisher of the product has created an affiliate section where they have tools and banners to help you market their products.

Exploiting a good niche, making a nice landing page, buying some Google AdWords / Bidvertiser pay per clicks, can be the key to your success.
