ClickBank is a huge source of digital products. It distributes products on behalf of over 10,000 merchants.
Merchants like ClickBank! For a very small charge per sale, ClickBank operates affiliate schemes for merchants and handles their customers' credit card transactions.
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.
But there is a better way, and it's a technique which I've been using for a while. You'll need to devote some time to it, but your time should be well rewarded.
Writing Review Pages
Product review pages are simply web pages which express opinions about a product. For this technique to work, your review should "pre-sell" the product - to get people to want the product before they visit the merchant's sales page though your link.
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) 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) Your purpose isn't to sell the product. That's the job of the merchant's sales page. Remember, you are aiming to send people to the sales page through your link, almost convinced that they want the product.
3) Avoid using any of the "copy" on the merchant's sales page. People will lose confidence in your review if they find that you've copied chunks of the sales page.
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) If there are other competing products, write a "comparative review". In this review you'll be comparing the product you're promoting with other less satisfactory products. If you use a "star rating system" (and I suggest that you do), your main product will, of course, rank higher than the others!
If you follow this plan, you should be able to make a lot more money by promoting ClickBank products. And if you use the tools in my ClickBank ToolKit, your work load will be lightened!
