Getting Started With Clickbank

By Graham McKenzie

As with any affiliate marketing product, getting started can be difficult, and becoming successful can be even more so. Becoming an affiliate on Clickbank " as one of the best ways to make money online " can be a popular first choice for anyone looking to make a profit with affiliate marketing.

The first step when you start marketing is to find the products or services you want to sell. These must be unique enough to stand out in a crowd but also something you are interested in. Make sure your product is not something that disinterests you or you risk quitting before you make any real money.

Once you have chosen the product(s), you should make a website for them. This site should be sparse " do not put any Google Adwords to try to make extra money or advertise other Clickbank products unrelated to the products you are selling.

The disadvantage of using blogs is that it is time consuming as they need to be updated regularly. So the ideal way is to have a review site where you can review the related products at on go or you can review a single product. But make sure to optimise the reviews with the keywords.

After creating the website, you can proceed to the next stage. At this point it is vital to maintain your enthusiasm for the product. This phase involves the creation of keyword articles for submission to free article directorie

Writing articles can be time consuming, more so if you do not find what you are writing about interesting at all. The articles need be only 300-500 words, but they should be decently comprehensive and contain at least 3% keyword density in order to ensure max hits.

Begin by writing 20 articles using a different keyword for each article. Submit the articles to article directories like ezinearticles.com. These websites are easily indexed by Google and you are allowed to include a backlink to your site.

Google keeps website articles, like those found on ezinearticles.com, in their search engines for three weeks. Keeping that in mind, you should post three articles about every three to four days.

However, if your article was effective, you should have received anywhere from 20-400 hits per article. Every 100 hits should give you 20-50 hits to the site you are affiliated with, and if that website has been fashioned correctly, you should get at least 2-3 sales per 100 hits. Thus a set of 20 articles (which can be completed in just a few days) can earn you over $1,000 in income.

This method will also place your website higher in search rankings so that you no longer have to write articles. Once your site makes it to the first or second search page, you can move on to your website while receiving passive income from the highly-ranked site.

You need to make sure that you choose a good niche that is known to make sales but is not too competitive. If you can find this niche, you can use this free and simple strategy to get your Clickbank affiliate marketing business started before you learn some of the more complicated methods.
