Making Clickbank Easy

By Graham McKenzie

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. However, as with any affiliate marketing product, getting started can be difficult, and becoming successful can be even more so.

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.

You can create a blog, though that can be time consuming because you need to keep it updated regularly. Instead, you may want to simply do a review site and either review the related products together or review the single product with the Clickbank Hoplink somewhere at the end. Try to optimize these reviews with keywords.

Once you have completed the website, you can already move on to the next step. Here is where keeping your interest in the product becomes very important " the next step is article marketing, by writing keyword articles that you submit to free article directories.

Article writing can be time consuming, especially if you do not find the product interesting. These article only need to be 300-500 words, but they should be at least moderately informative and contain a 3% keyword density in order to ensure the maximum 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.

One should post about 3 articles every three or four days, because google keeps these articles only for about three to four days and then it replaces with new articles on websites like ezinearticles.com. Therefore people should keep on writing articles.

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.
