ClickBank is one of the largest sources of digital products, and some 10,000 merchants use ClickBank to sell their products.
From the merchants' point of view, ClickBank makes it easy for them to sell. They don't need to process credit cards themselves, and they don't need to set up an affiliate scheme. ClickBank does both of these jobs for the merchant.
ClickBank is also great for affiliate marketers. It's easy to set up a free ClickBank account and start promoting any products you choose using your special ClickBank "hoplink" for the products. Most merchants pay at least 50% commission, so it won't be long before the money starts to pour in to your ClickBank account.
Sounds easy, doesn't it! But life is never that simple. The truth is that most ClickBank affiliates make little or no money from promoting ClickBank products. Assuming that they're not lazy and do actually put some effort in to promoting the products, they often go about it in the wrong way.
It's not enough to use such methods as banner ads or links in your forum postings and emails. That's not enough to persuade people to purchase through your link.
Let me show you a method which I've used to great success. OK, you have to work at it a bit, but it will be well worth your while:
How To Write Product Review Pages
You need to write a review for any product you want to promote as an affiliate. The purpose of the review is to "pre-sell" the product. You need to get people in a favorable frame of mind so that when they visit the sales page through your affiliate link, they are much more inclined to buy.
The reason why this technique is so successful is that more and more people, before they buy something online, look for reviews of the product. If you type "review" + a product name into Google, you're likely to find examples of product reviews.
Unfortunately, many people, even though they realise the benefits of review pages, still make elementary errors.
How To Write Better Product Review Pages
1) Your review should not be full of glowing praise for the product. Instead, make a few minor criticisms of the product - which are, of course, outweighed by the benefits of the product.
2) Don't try to "sell" the product. The main purpose of the review page is to get people to click through to the merchants's sales page through your affiliate link, ready to make a positive buying decision.
3) You mustn't use words and sentences taken straight from the merchant's sales page. Your review will lose all its impact if you do this. It will no longer be seen as impartial.
4) You'll be a lot more convincing if you have actually used (and liked) the product. You'll find that you can frequently get a copy of the product from the merchant without having to pay for it. Just tell the merchant that you want to write a review of it.
5) If possible, find other similar products and compare them with the product you really want to sell. You could even give a star rating to each one - making sure, of course, that your main product gets the most stars!
