Create a Free eBook and Give It Away!

This is a really great way to spread your clickbank affiliate links all over the internet. Providing free short reports, which are of 7-10 pages in length, can prove very profitable. When writing the eBook you will be able to add your affiliate links inside the eBook meaning the more people who read the book the more sales (and money) you will make.

The most important part of this is that you give people valuable information in the report, if you do they will think of you as an expert in your field and will be much more likely to buy the product that you are recommending to them.

First of all you need to write a short report. If you don’t like writing you can outsource this to a good copywriter, rates are usually pretty reasonable for a short 7-10 page article. Again, the better the book is the more likely you are to make a sale.

Once you have the short report completed, you should find a few places in the report where it will be suitable to add an affiliate link to the product you are promoting. Don’t use this short report as an advert; 3-4 links per book should be fine.

Don’t start selling to the reader through this link, just recommend the product.
If your report is good people will trust you as well as your judgment on the product.

You should give this eBook away to as many people as possible; you could offer it as a bonus or a free gift. You should also consider allowing people to resell your eBook, keeping the profits for themselves. Master resale rights could also be offered if you want the book to spread virally across the internet.

In my opinion this is one of the best methods of making ‘easy cash’ from promoting affiliate products. Once the eBook is out, no more work needs to be done by you because the eBook will start to spread across the internet making you cash, hands free.

It is important that you make sure that your readers know what they can do with the eBook. Write the rights clearly in the eBook to avoid any misunderstandings.

Another way to quickly get your eBook out there is submit your eBook to eBook distribution sites where it will be spread across hundreds of eBook directories – This is, of course, totally free to do.

This method of advertising can be really effective if you do it the right way. You need to create a good quality book that people will want to read. If people don’t like your eBook it won’t be spread virally across the web. Create quality and get some quality results (a big check from Clickbank ;)… your next step to becoming a clickbank super affiliate

This is a great way to promote clickbank products, but be warned, it’s going to cost you money. Before starting you need to do some serious research.

Google AdWords and Yahoo’s Overture are the best, cheapest and most commonly used PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising. They both have really simple online interfaces where you can set up and manage your campaigns, which is brilliant.

The most important thing to find out is if PPC is going to work for you financially. There is no point spending $10 on advertising to make a $1 is there? There is a simple way to do this.

First of all you need to find the conversion rate of the sales page and as we don’t have the figures, you should use ‘bad numbers’.

What I mean by bad numbers is that we make the % conversion rate lower than we think it really is.

I usually use a conversion rate of 1%. Most pages convert higher than this.

Next you need to find the how much you are paying per click as well as how much 100 clicks are going to cost you.

Now you have both these numbers you need to work out how much money you will spend on PPC to make one sale.

For example; if we have a conversion rate of 1% and each click costs 10 cents then it is going to cost $10 to make a single sale.

Your affiliate payout should be more than that; if it isn’t then PPC is not going to be for you. Try keep to the free advertising methods if you don’t think PPC is going to be worth it. I don’t want you to waste your money but pay per click advertising can make you a lot of money over a short space of time. You can make money almost instantly with PPC.

This is my #1 source. I may write a special report on how I go about doubling my money but for now know this. If you don't know what you are doing… they will each your lunch. Here is what is promised by all the search engines: We will bill you for the traffic. PERIOD! They don't care that you didn't make any money… you will be billed.

First of all you will need to choose where you are going to set up your pay per click campaign, Google AdWords is considered to be the best and is the one I use. This is THE MOTHER search engine.

You will need to sign up for a free Google account and an AdWords account. The next step is to create a campaign; this is pretty easy, just follow the on screen instructions.

You will need to enter a text ads that they will display, this needs to be something persuasive to get people to click. HINT: Keywords need to be in the ad and even headline if possible.

Another important thing that you need to include is your keywords.

Try and start with around 10 and once you know you are on to a winner you can increase the keywords. Next you will have to tell Google how much you will pay per click, you want to pay as little as possible for the traffic while still getting lots of traffic. You will need to do a lot of testing with this.

Once you have set the ads running you need to start tracking the number of sales that you make along with the cost of the advertising. When you have had 100 clicks is the time to do this.

If the project is profitable allow it to continue, if not pause the campaign and ‘tweak’ it, or try some of the free methods of advertising detailed in this report.

Don’t just let the ads keep running after 100 clicks in the hope of making a profit; it’s not going to happen. If the campaign doesn’t start earning money after 100 clicks it should be stopped, got it?

Pay per click advertising can be incredibly effective if you are promoting the right clickbank affiliate program, have a good ad and are not paying too much per click. You can start driving traffic to your affiliate product instantly making this a great way to make some fast cash.

Becoming a super clickbank affiliate usually involves PPC unless you have more time than money…

Find Your Target Market and Sell to Them

This next method is all about finding your target market and selling to them.

Whether it is on forums, social networking sites, or elsewhere, finding your target market and becoming friends with them is really important. Finding related forums is the best place to start. There are millions of forums out there and you can find the ones in your niche by doing a search for “Keyword” forums on Google, or by taking a look on http://www.big-boards.com

That is the easiest way to find some of the biggest and best forums in your niche.

Next you will need to sign up, it’s important that you try and use the same username at all the forums you post on, and also on all the social networking sites, and on blog comments you make.

Once you have signed up get a feel for the place and what members like and dislike. Introduce yourself to the members, create a rapport with them and always provide them with only top quality information.

Your forum posts should always be of the highest standard and provide members with the answers to the questions they ask.

This is why it is best to focus on a niche that you know a little bit about, otherwise you are going to have to do a quite a lot of research on the topic just to be able to answer forum posts.

You should only promote your affiliate links in your signature, some forums don’t allow this but most of them do. Never post affiliate links in your posts, especially on niche forums, it will only get you a bad reputation.

Target your niche carefully and post, post, post!

Posting on other peoples blogs is another great way to get known in your niche and to get your affiliate link out.

Don’t abuse this one guys, it can come back and bite you on the butt.

First of all you need to find some blogs that are related to the product you are promoting, between ten and twelve different blogs is absolutely fine. Then I want you to make some comments, no spam, real comments using you affiliate links as the URL.

A lot of people visit blogs and many will click on your link. It is extremely common that you will get one or two sales a month from just one post here. This works really well but don’t abuse the system.

You can also use some social networking websites to promote your products. This can work well, but there are better options.

Find a niche related social networking website, there are lots of them and many get a lot of targeted visitors per day. Directing just a few of these visitors can make you a sale or two.

A list of some of the top social networking sites can be found here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_social_networking_websites

Of course, they won’t all be suitable for promoting your product. Using the social networking site Bebo, which is aimed at teenagers, isn’t going to sell a gardening eBook is it?

Maybe the social networking site Care2.com would be a better way to promote a gardening e-Book, as it is focused towards gardeners and people who care about the environment.

Getting to know prospective customers and taking your time to help them is a great way to build trust and get them to buy the product. This is going to be required if you want to make the sale.

On a final note about this, don’t spam. Be nice, share quality information and make sales as a bonus.
