Clickbank Affiliate Marketing
Basics

Clickbank is an extremely popular and profitable affiliate network on the worldwide web and many clickbank affiliate marketing individuals make a lot of money with it. This article will give you the basics on how to go about using this powerful website.

Signing up with Clickbank is fast and easy and there are several tutorials, tips and training that show you exactly how to get started.

Next you'll want to look for your first product or service--keep in mind that Clickbank is generally geared for digital products. Try to pick something that you are interested in, or that is in a niche that already involved in. It's easier to stay focused on what you are doing if the topic actually interests and even inspires you. If you already have an established site on a certain topic, it's very easy to incorporate some clickbank products to sell there. The more specifically targeted the product to your site, the better. Look for products and services that have good gravity and popularity stats. If you find something that you really like but the stats don't add up, then it's really not worth the effort you'll have to spend on it.

You can decide to promote your product directly with the salespage given to you by the merchant, or you can do it by setting up a blog or website and positioning the product there. Most experienced marketers will agree that you can do the direct ad to merchant website as a newcomer to affiliate marketing, and it is a way to learn the ropes, so to speak. But it is worth your time to eventually set up your own blog or website. Wordpress is very popular and professional looking, and it's quite good in terms of SEO (search engine optimization) as well.

Just some general pros and cons of Clickbank affiliate marketing:

One big pro, especially if you are a newcomer to affiliate marketing, is that Clickbank is extremely easy. The second big pro is that the commissions are on the high end when compared to other affiliate networks.

One con is that many of the products offered on Clickbank are not of the best quality, although they can be expensive. There are really a great deal of rags-to-riches types of products and e-books. You can also find many good products but you do need to do a bit of digging, depending on the niche you are working in.

Another con is that the Clickbank stats are really nothing special, especially if you compare them to sites such as Adsense and Amazon, just to name a few. Also, you can only create text links automatically with Clickbank. Other types of links are not available.

Clickbank affiliate marketing is a good place to get started in affiliate marketing and many experienced marketers are successful with them as well.
