Learning How To Make Money With ClickBank

There are plenty of ways to make money online using the ClickBank marketplace. In this article I will discuss how you can become a ClickBank affiliate. To understand how this process works, you must know the difference between a ClickBank affiliate and a ClickBank publisher.
A ClickBank affiliate is simply someone like you and I, who promotes or sells someone elses product or service from the ClickBank market place. The products being sold are usually digital ebooks and pdf's.
A publisher is the author who has written an ebook or pdf, and selling that ebook or pdf on electronic market places like ClickBank and ClickSure. The publisher is the creator of the ebook or product, and the affiliate is the one who sells or promotes that product for a commission. The commission is usually 75%.
Places like ClickBank and ClickSure have thousands of digital products, the newest ebooks, software, and video products for affiliates to promote.
Now that we know the difference between an affiliate and publisher, lets get started.
As I mentioned earlier, we must first find a product on either ClickBank or ClickSure.
You will go to ClickBank.com and sign up as an affiliate. After you sign up you will pick a niche you would like to work in. For example "health and fitness" and "make money online" are some of the most profitable niches. If you were to choose the health and fitness niche, you would go to ClickBank, go to the marketplace, and find a product you can promote that has something to do with health and fitness. You would use the same method if you were to choose the make money online niche.
After you find a product to promote, be sure it is a product that really helps a person achieve what they are looking to achieve. There are a lot of garbage products out there so, be sure to buy the product yourself to make sure it is worth selling. If you do not have the cash to buy the product yourself, I will leave a link below with products that I have tested. You will be given an affiliate link for the product you choose to promote. You will copy and paste that link, and save it in a safe place, like your micro soft word or micro soft office. This is the link you will be sending out to others to start making money. When a person clicks on that link, they will be taken to the product you are promoting. If they buy the product, you receive commission.
Now that we have our link, we must drive traffic to that link so we can make sales.
There are plenty of ways to drive traffic to our affiliate link. We can choose between free traffic and paid traffic. I will have a link below this article with information on how you can get some paid traffic. Most marketers will agree that paid traffic is a great method because it gives you the ability to grow very quickly as an affiliate marketer. Right now we will focus on free traffic.
I want to give you a small list of free methods to drive traffic to your link or website.
*social network sites (Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn. Etc)
*twitter
*blogs
*articles
The next step to making money with ClickBank is to build a list and drive traffic.
Building a list is a key component to being successful as an internet marketer. Building a list of people who are interested in what you are promoting or selling is key. Your goal is to provide your list with useful information, along products that will help them prosper as internet marketers. The larger your list, the more money you can potentially make. Most marketers make $1 per month, per person on their email list.
so if you have 100 people on your list, you should average around $100 per month. 1000 people= $1000 a month, 10,000 people= $10,000 per month. This should help you understand the power of building a huge email list. This is how the gurus are making thousands of dollars in a single day. Once you learn how to do this effectively, you can begin to make money on auto pilot.
