How To Start Affiliate Marketing Business With ClickBank.com?

Getting Started With Affiliate Marketing.

Now you know what affiliate marketing is and how it works. If you think this may be something that will work for you, here are the basic steps you need to do to get started:
 

Choose the right niche— When you’re ready to create your affiliate website, you need to decide the type of product you want to promote on the site. If you plan to place them on your blog, you’ll want to think of products that are related to the subject matter of the blog. Remember, you’re not stuck with this product. If it doesn’t sell, you can drop it. Choosing a well-paying product that will benefit your audience is the goal.

Selecting the right affiliate program— You need to research and find businesses that offer you commission-sharing program that is profitable. High commissions don’t necessarily mean it’s something you want to sell. The products need to be quality products that fit into your niche.

Planning the right strategy— The right promotional strategy is important. You need to define your target market. Knowing who your customers are and what they’re interested in will make it easier for you to develop topics and discussions that will attract them and bring traffic to your site. You’ll want to be creative when you place your affiliate links. This will make your visitors be tempted to want to know more.

The more traffic you can bring to your site the better. To make a substantial amount of money, it is best to have a site that has at least 500 visitors a day. Traffic, however, is not all you need. You can have all the traffic you could ever want, but if they don’t click the merchant’s link, it means nothing. You have to entice them to click that link.

What Is ClickBank.com?

Before you can build your affiliate website, it is important that you research the affiliate programs available. Most of the programs will have a directory you can view by subject to look at all the products that are available. There are many affiliate networks available. ClickBank is a Major of Them.

ClickBank.com— This is one of the best retail marketplaces for selling digital products like eBooks or software. There you will find thousands of ebooks in many different categories like: Computers/Internet, Software’s & Services, Arts & Entertainment, Health & Fitness, Business/Investing, Games, Cooking/Foods, Parenting, and Politics, etc. A large number of these books are written in a “how to” method. They tell you how to do something or fix a particular problem.

Since there is no manufacturing cost per item for software and eBooks, the commissions can be high. You can expect commissions from 50-70% on these products. There are two ways you can make money on ClickBank.

1. Create your own products and then sell them. You have to create a vendor account so you can list your product. You determine the price of your product and list how much you’ll pay an affiliate to sell it. If you have a good product, you may get many affiliates who want to sell it. You don’t have to worry about all those accounts.ClickBank automatically credits the right amount into particular affiliate account. It then credits your account with the rest.

2. Work as an affiliate to promote products. You may not be able to or have time to write dynamic eBooks. You may also not have the resources you need to manage everything. By promoting products already listed in its marketplace, you can still make money, and you don’t have to do the work.

When you visit ClickBank, you’ll find some statistics in their listings on affiliate programs. Here are a few of the terms you will see on the site and what they mean:

Initial $/sale—This is the amount you earn per sale

Avg %/sale—This lets you know the percentage of the sale price you will receive.

Avg Rebill Total—The amount you might expect in addition to the initial sale if the product has recurring billing such as monthly membership fees.

Avg %/Rebill—You will only see this amount if that individual vendor offers products that have recurring billing. It allows you to see the average commission rate to be earned for that amount of income.

Gravity—This lets you know how “hot” the product currently is. If the gravity is high, it means there a number of affiliates are doing well selling that product. If it shows low gravity, the number of affiliates selling this is less. Generally, you should select products which have a fairly good amount of activity by affiliates.

If you want to sign up for ClickBank, it’s a pretty simple process. You just need to click the link that says “Sign Up.” You’ll find it on the page near the top. Just insert the requested details and click “Submit.” It will give you instructions to follow next. When you’re signed up and have your own ClickBank ID, you’ll be able to find any product you want to promote that is on the network.

Look at the products. When you find one you want to promote, simply click the link to “Promote.” They’ll ask for your ID. Once you give it, your HopLink, which is your affiliate link, will be created by the site.
