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.
Affiliate marketers, too, like ClickBank a lot. With a free ClickBank account you can immediately start promoting any products sold through ClickBank, using a special ClickBank "hoplink" for each product. With most merchants rewarding you with at least 50% commission per sale, you'll soon start making serious big bucks.
Is it really that easy? No, of course not! Many people make very little money from ClickBank products - even assuming that they at least try (which many don't!). So many people simply promote ClickBank products incorrectly.
Many people just put up banner ads on their websites and add their affiliate links to their forum posts and emails. These "lazy" methods don't work. Few people will click through to the merchant's sales page from these methods.
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.
An increasing number of people, before they buy something, do a little research to find reviews of that product. They'll type something like "review + product name" into Google. You can see for yourself how many reviews there are for a product by doing just that.
Even this technique on its own is not enough. Many, many affiliate marketers write very poor review pages. You need to be a little subtle!
How To Write Better Product Review Pages
1) If you simply write about the good things in a product, you will be unconvincing. It's not hard to find a few minor faults in a product. And, of course, you make sure that the good points heavily outweigh the bad points!
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) Don't copy any of the wording used on the sales page. As soon as the visitor goes to the sales page and recognises some of the words which were on review page, your credibility goes out of the window!
4) Write as if you have used the product. And if you haven't used it, you really shouldn't be writing a review! Many merchants will send you a free copy of a digital product if you say that you are writing a review.
5) "Comparative reviews" are very powerful. Just find other products which satisfy the same sort of needs, and review them alongside the product you really want visitors to buy. A "star rating" system is a good idea in a comparative review. You will, of course, give the main product more stars than the others!
I hope that you've gained some good ideas from this article, and that it will help you to improve your ClickBank income. You'll find it even easier to promote ClickBank products by using the tools included in my ClickBank ToolKit.
