How to increase your Clickbank affiliate sales and improve your earnings?

Since I received my first clickbank check, I would like to share my experience about the topic. It all started last year when in October I joined Clickbank. Since the very beginning I have to admit, I wasn’t so confident that I will ever make some money online. I decided to start something free, something cheap. So I started to write articles. I choosed random products without seeking for keyword relevance, gravity and all these advices around the net. I just didn’t stopped to write and publish to those article websites allowing your affiliate link to be published. Google it, its easy to find that kind of directories. So the first sale was made after two weeks, I didn’t believed that in the beginning but after a week the second was made. That motivated me extremely. Article after article were published and the sales were steady. I began to wonder when I will receive my first check. Than I found that one of the main requirements before your first Clickbank check to be sent is the minimum number of sales and the various payment options. I mean, to receive your first payment you have to have at least 5 sales from different credit cards and minimum 2 different payment methods (either MasterCard, Visa, PayPal or European Direct Debit). I had already two paypal purchases and the aim was to make only one sale with a credit cart. I cannot express the feeling when your check is one sale away, it made me really nervous but it happened and after the pay period ended my first clickbank check was cut and sent. I received it in about two weeks, I live in Bulgaria so im OK with the period.

So the main question, how to archive your goal being affiliate?

If you want to make a decent success, you have to provide a decent quality. That’s it. They’re various techniques out there but it all depends on your skills. You may use article marketing, people love to read about the products before they buy. In your article you have to mark the key benefits of owning the product and to make it look like you already purchased it and you’re happy with that. You cannot buy all clickbank products and write articles for them of course, but you can search the web and find out other people stories about the topic and try to explain it with your words. Its all about that, words. Than publish constantly and you will be impressed by the results. The results represents your skills and both of them a subject to upgrade so don’t worry if you’re not happy with the initial results. Things can only get better.

PPC ? Whats that ?

PPC (Pay-Per-Click) is one of the fastest methods to get in business. But its quite risky especially for newbies because it can get you broke very fast. I was impressed by the idea in the beginning and sharing my experience I have to admit I finished that adventure with Adwords banned account. Yes am banned and I don’t know how to fix that, I mean if anyone knows please let me know somehow because I want my account back! It actually happened because I didn’t followed the TOS and all these rules. I linked directly to the squeeze page and you know, newbie style. After that I tried Facebook ad program and then I managed to gain some results. Its all about your keywords and your budget. The higher it is, the better. Good thing about Facebook ad program is that you can choose more options than Adwords. I mean all those people already having their accounts are the perfect targeted group. You know fan-pages, interests and etc. That helps really because you’re pointing your message wisely and straight to the group. If using PPC to promote Clickbank products I suggest you establish a website, write a review and link this page. Not directly to the squeeze page, believe me that works and you’re not mistaken. Than in this review page put your affiliate link, that’s the most successful strategy ever. Don’t limit only to PPC, go write some articles and establish your link building, post frequently and you will sale. Remember, its a long therm investment, don’t rush it.

Other alternative methods of promoting clickbank products?

Sure, they’re many ways. The viral marketing is OK and it works really good. Go write an e book and send it for free. Explain some hot topic in it and put your website link in the e book. That will establish a long therm traffic, a targeted traffic to your website. There many ways to gift that e book, many people are using ebay to selling for 1$. Also you can upload it to rapidshare or something similar and write in forums and blogs about it. That it is cool and free. This will help you for a start.

After free e books im also a fan of YouTube video marketing. It really helps, you know YouTube is a video portal with an enormous traffic each day. Go produce your quality videos and link in the description to your website.


I hope this hubpage helps you a little. Remember, don’t spam the net! Produce for the net and the net will reward you! Good luck.

Very informative. I'm still hesitant to join Clickbank. But with your first person account, how can I refuse to venture on it, too? I might as well make a moderate income out of it.

Thanks for sharing, lazko!
