Can you make money with Clickbank?

  • May 15, 2011 4:24 PM

Everyday more and more people are searching for ways to make money online. What better way to make money than being an affiliate selling Clickbank products. Many times affiliates expect to make money with Clickbank over night, but I have news for you that is not going to happen. Being an affiliate for Clickbank takes work just like any other job. The only difference is that you will not be working on a daily basis.

Newbie’s to affiliate marketing must be thinking how exactly I can start making money with Clickbank. I’m going to give you some information to start you off.

First you go to Clickbank.com and sign up to be an affiliate. By the way it’s free to join.

Second you will want to explore the different products in the market place. You will want to search for a product that does not have a lot of competition. Meaning a product that others are hardly promoting. You can determine this by looking at the gravity. You will want your gravity to be no higher than 100 and no less than 50. The gravity is an average of how good the product is, how many other affiliates are promoting the product.

Third, once you have chosen the product you want to promote, you will need to create your hop-link. Your hop-link is very vital, and will include your username. This is done so that Clickbank can track all sales back to you, and you will be credited.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Fourth you will need somewhere where you can promote your product or products. There are many different ways for going about this. You can promote your products on a blog (highly recommended). Your blog will take place of you purchasing a website, unlike blogs which are free. The only thing that will cost you is you hosting. It’s highly recommended when creating a blog you host your blog with a hosting company. This way you will not have to worry about your  blog being deleted for inappropriate content that you post. I recommend Hostgator, which is only $9.95 a month. There are many other different hosting companies. I choose hostgator; because they have great 24/7 live support which is awesome.

You can also promote your Clickbank product on social networking sites. To find other social networking sites just go to Google and search social networking sites and you should have a whole list.

Another form of advertising is PPC also known as Pay Per Click. What is PPC? PPC is you placing an ad to promote you business or product on Google. So every time someone clicks on your ad you pay. You pay per click. If this tool is not used properly it can cost you loads of money. Newbies I would stay away from Pay Per Click to start. Start with free marketing strategies and work your way up.

The work does not stop there, I recommend that you write articles over each product you choose to promote. When writing your articles keep in mind you are trying to give a solution to some ones problem or problems. Always remember you are not trying to sell the product but rather give vital information to others.

Writing articles may seem exhausting to you in the beginning, but I want you to always have an open mind about every idea. Remember you are writing to give a solution. I want you to know that these articles you will be writing are not just going to be posted on you blog. You are going to submit these articles to article directories, in turn creating traffic to you blog.

Having traffic is key, without traffic coming to your blog how will you be able to make money with Clickbank. So in order to receive sales you need visitors, better known as traffic. Your blog will contain more information than just your articles.

Let’s recap from the beginning; these are the steps to start making money with Clickbank. One you will need to sign up to be a Clickbank affiliate. Explore the Clickbank marketplace for products to promote. Remember to keep track of your username to create your hop-links. Set up a blog where you will be promoting Clickbank products and more. Remember to host your blog with a separate hosting company. Create informational articles that solve others problems. Submit your articles to article directories. You will first need to post your article on your blog then submit them to article directories.  You will learn more about it as you continue to market online. And with just 3 or 4 hours of work every day you will be on your way to making money with Clickbank.

5 Ways on How to Make Money From Your Blog

  • May 14, 2011 3:00 AM

The proliferation of information on questions such as “how to make money from your blog” or “how to monetize your blog” had made it so much easier for people who are blog owners and are planning to be bloggers. Is there a difference between a person who blog and a blogger, you might ask. According to Chris Garett and Darren Rowse, authors of ProBlogger, a blogger is not a person who writes for a blog but who earns or makes money from it. Writing a blog does not necessarily mean that you could make money from – earning from blog is not automatic. Writing for a blog, however, makes making from it sometimes incidental but most is hard work. You could write for a blog and not make money from it. That is the hard fact and the truth. Writing for a blog does not and at the same time earning for what you put into a blog is not a get-rich-scheme. Earning real-time and good enough from a blog that would allow you to pay the bills and save some takes a lot of patience and requires strategy and tactics, as well.

But how do you make money from your blog? This question will only be useful if it one has satisfied the following assumptions and that you have,

• An existing blog
• Generated and amass a steady and sustainable traffic
• Established a readership and community

Once you have all of the above mentioned criteria, you may finally decide on the array of marketing strategies and array of monetizing options that you may choose from such as,

• Advertising
• Sponsorship
• Freelance blog writing
• Paid reviews
• Speaking engagements

This and more only prove that once you get the main ingredient right your earning potential in blogging is unlimited.

3 Steps to Make Money on Blog

  • May 13, 2011 2:32 PM

Surely it would be quite impossible to have not stumble upon the following search results when you type the word “blog” on today’s search engine,

• Make money on blog
• Earn income from your blog
• Monetize your blog
• Unlimited income opportunity from blog

Most blogs, if not all, had unlimited income opportunity if they utilize and follow certain marketing strategies that would surely realize their blog as a “gold mine”. But what would it take to really make money on blog,

• First, establish readership. A blog must primarily provide their readers what the readers want. Without them, no amount of traffic can be generated by your blog, thus, no advertising space can ever realize their money from you. Establishing readership can be easy if you put your readers as your primary concern and customer. Reputation in the blog community is earned, and so does your readership.

• Generate traffic. Blog is the best example of the concept of “viral marketing” and once a reader spreads the new about how great your blog is, the rest, as they say is history. The software and/or platform that your blog allows a number of applications that works through the principle of and of “domino effect”. There are a number of applications that you could use for free that could generate and bring you traffic that you never thought possible.

• Start placing advertisements that would complement your content. And this should be stressed. Bloggers who place ad on their sites cause some of their readers to provide negative feedbacks. And this is bad news for them. Monetizing your blog is one thing, but having no one to click on your ad because they were shooed away from the ad itself is one thing. Some bloggers were left astounded by how this happen. Primarily, blog was created for people to create avenues on connecting with other people who share you interest and passion. Start monetizing your site and doing it the wrong way is not only a sure way to lose readers but to lose everything that you worked hard for.

The Basics of Making Money with Blogs And AdSense

  • May 12, 2011 2:52 AM

Google AdSense is undoubtedly the most popular Pay Per Click (PPC) program in the industry today. By enrolling your site under the said program, AdSense will display a series of ads on your pages. You stand to earn every time a visitor of your clicks on these ads.

They don’t have to buy anything, mind you. They just have to click on the ads and nothing more. These ads are by no means random. They are contextually relevant, meaning, they are assigned based on their relevancy to the subject of your site.

Could a blog substitute for regular sites when it comes to making money through AdSense? Yes people, blogs can also be provide an additional income stream through AdSense! In some aspects, a blog is a more efficient tool for this purpose.

There are people online today making six figures per month from Adsense alone. Unbelievable but true!

There are three determinative factors for the success of a site enrolled under the AdSense program.

1. The Cost Per Click (CPC) that is carried by the ads assigned to your site.

2. The number of page impressions, or simply put, the amount of traffic that passes through your site. If you garner a lot of page impressions, you have a better chance of acquiring a lot of clicks.

3. The Click Through Rate (CTR), which is the number of clicks your ads get per the number of visitors that visit your pages. The higher your CTR, the more you stand to earn.

CPCs are a given. If you’re dead set on a subject for your blog, then you will just be attracting a certain group of ads. But if you wish to make a blog for the primary goal of making money online, then you have to choose the right keywords before everything else.

Basically, your blog will be assigned certain ads based on the keywords prevalent in its entries. There are some keywords that will attract ads that pay high, and there are those that will attract ads that pay low. The trick is in finding the high paying keywords around which you will create your blog.

Here are some tips that will help you find those keywords with relative ease:

* Create an account at www.adwords.google.com . Adwords, of course, is the advertising partner of AdSense. When you become a member, you could take a peek at how much the going rates are for certain keywords.

* Visit www.adsensearena.com . This is one of the very few sites that give information about high paying keywords for free. It would rather be kept a secret by those who discovered it, so keep it quiet;-).

The number of your page impressions really depends on the traffic that you can generate for your blog. Blogs would have an easier time with this because, as we’ve previously discussed in past lessons, search engines love them. But of course, this is not set in stone. If your competitors, for example, are also using the blogging strategy, then you’re all in equal footing.

To get the edge, do try David Pankhurst’s special report on How To Conquer Your Niche With WordPress. David will share some absolutely mind blowing techniques that will tremendously boost your blog’s page rank through a simple manipulation of the WordPress software. Check out his report at http://www.malkeenan.com/top10tricks.

Increasing your CTR is an entire subfield in itself! There are a plethora of strategies dedicated for this purpose. We have discussed some of these tactics in my newsletter, as well as my own blog at http://www.malkeenan.com/blog . These include the choice of ad design, the placement of the ads, and the colors to be used, among other things. I’m telling you, increasing your CTR has become a science of sorts in recent months!

In the next article, I will discuss some really advanced strategies that will blow you away.

2 Ways to Earn Money Online & Work From Home

  • May 11, 2011 2:26 PM

There are several ways to make money with your blog. You can integrate Google AdSense into your blog to get paid from Google, selling affiliate products to earn commission, selling private ad spots and writing reviews. I guess most of you have heard about making money with Google AdSense, affiliate marketing and private ad spots; in fact most of bloggers are using these methods to earn money with their blog. Whereas, writing review is an overlook area by most bloggers, many of them unaware that they can generate a decent stream of income by writing reviews at their blog.

How does writing reviews make you money?

If you have a blog and thinking of increasing your income stream by writing reviews, it’s easier than you think. Like affiliate programs in affiliate marketing, there are programs called blog review networks where you can look for companies that required third parties review on their product, services or websites. If your blog is new, your application to the blog review network may get rejected because normally there are some terms and conditions that you need to meet for your account to be approved. The terms and conditions such as the age of your blog (normally your blog should be at least 6 months old), the page rank of your blog and/or where you blog is hosted are among the consideration factors.

Assuming your blog is approved. You are now a member of the blog review network where you have opportunities to browse through the review marketplace and search for reviews to write. If you blog have high traffic with good contents and high page rank, many companies will approach you to ask you to write review on their product or service and post at your blog. Once you find a review that you are interested to write on, just write it and post it on your blog, then submit the review’s post for approval. You may need to follow the requirement formats or standard guidelines of the reviewer. Once the post is approved, you get paid.

How much money you could earn each review?

The prices for each review post vary from one blog review network to another. Some blog review networks allow you to search for advertisers directly in their network and bid for review job. During the bidding process, you could even negotiate with the advertisers for higher price by letting them know why their products or services are worth to be reviewed by your blog. If you blog has high traffic and really related to what the advertisers are looking for, they may willing to pay higher, this will increase your earning for each posted reviews on your blog.

You will not get 100% of the earning pay by the advertisers because the blog review network will charge a portion, normally in percentage such 35% or a fixed dollar on each approved review post in exchange of using their services and system.

Summary

You can generate a decent stream of income by writing reviews on your blog. Blog Review Networks prepare the marketplace where you can search for review opportunities, what you need to do is signing up an account and submit your blog to the network to get started.
