The answer is an emphatic yes. It's an incredible way to make money. Most people who ask this question have tried briefly making money with Clickbank and have been disappointed when revenue doesn't happen over night and often quit. I know many successful affiliates. There are Clickbank marketers out there earning a million dollars per month and there are some earning a few hundred. A lot of affiliates make an extra couple of thousand or hundred a month. I'm sad to say that most affiliates do not earn money with Clickbank and that's because they often set too high of expectations and don't want to put in the work and effort to create monetary success.
It all starts with attitude:
The worst mistake you can make when approaching Clickbank is having a get rich quick attitude. I'm constantly amazed by how many folks approach online marketing with this attitude. You wouldn't approach any offline business with this attitude. Building a business takes work and perseverance. It's no different online than it is offline. Now, in my opinion, online is better, because your business is working for you 24/7 while an offline business is usually only working during the hours of operation. Plus, if you build your online business right, overtime you can put in less work and get more results. But when you start you're going to have to work hard at getting your business of the ground.
So here's the right attitude: Set small goals to accomplish. If you have yet to make your first sale, make it a goal to get just one sale. Give yourself 30 days to do it, so there is no pressure. Once you have your first sale try to get a sale every two weeks, once you are consistently hitting that goal, try to get a sale every other day. Then make it a goal to get a sale every day and so on and so forth. By setting small goals you don't overwhelm yourself, you have realistic expectations and you won't get frustrated. Frustrated people often quit. So change your attitude to one of achieving small goals and you will get positive results that you can build on week after week.
Education:
You wouldn't start building homes without first learning how to build homes. You wouldn't become an accountant without first getting a degree in accounting. What makes Clickbank marketing any different? Nothing. You need to constantly be expanding your knowledge in order to succeed.
Here is the type of knowledge that is essential:
A)Product knowledge: Half of all products in the Clickbank Marketplace are terrible. They're duds and they don't convert. Then we have the huge sellers and while it's tempting to promote these products the competition is often so concentrated getting any marketing traction is impossible. It doesn't mean you can't, but odds are you'll have a tough time carving out any marketing exposure. I recommend finding products somewhere between the two poles and I use a popular Clickbank search and product analysis tool to do this. This tool gives me loads or product data and has an advanced search to help me pinpoint products that convert. At the bottom of this article you will find a link to this search tool.
B)Marketing Knowledge: What are the common ways Clickbank affiliate promote products? Let me tell you the most common ways new affiliates attempt to promote products that hardly ever work. They build a website with no substance. They often put up some salesy marketing copy about a product they want to promote and then worse, they don't do anything to promote that website. Two, they find a Clickbank Mall, put it online and again do not do anything to promote that mall. Discover the common marketing methods such as video marketing, article marketing, PPC marketing, CPM advertising, forum marketing, etc. etc and learn how people are finding success. You can scan marketing forums, read articles or buy an eBook or two. Once you master these various methods you will s tart to develop your own tactics. But when starting try to master the common methods first before you get creative.
To recap, change your attitude, set small goals, find killer products to promote and then use standard marketing techniques to get sales. It's really that simple. If you follow this advice you will start earning money. It might not be much at first, but overtime you might become one of those hard-working affiliate that earn tens to hundreds of thousands per month, but it all starts with getting that first sale. Work hard and don't give up.
