How many of you are making handsome money with affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing is going crazy these days. I saw most bloggers using affiliates instead of Google AdSense and any other advertising program. Today I’m going to discuss one of the best affiliate programs called ClickBank.
Here is a step-by-step process on how to find a good affiliate:
If you don’t already have an account set up go to ClickBank.com and set one up. It’s easy and it’s quick.
To select a product, click on Marketplace. It seems that many of the challenges are in the make-money-online niche, which is very competitive and even though Alvin makes good money in that niche, his suggestion is that it is much easier to make money promoting affiliates that are not in the blogging-for-money business. The competition is significantly less.
Additional Info (Example):
A blogger tested promoting a weight-loss meal plan ($37) vs. a “make money online course ($497)”. Even though commissions were lower, the weight-loss product converted at 6x higher, resulting in more profit within 30 days.
ClickBank is really good at giving statistical information on the affiliate program. One of the statistics that Alvin likes to look at is the gravity. Gravity tells you how popular a product is, so the higher the number, the more popular or in demand it is. There are several factors that contribute to the popularity of an affiliate program: – collateral support such as banners, sales pages, and ongoing marketing including but not restricted to emails. – conversion – commission.
After selecting a program, check out the sales page and any other promotional material the affiliate publisher is offering.
Where do all the screenshots come from? Transaction records.
Be sure the product has testimonials.
Additional Info (Case Study):
An affiliate promoted a product with no testimonials and a product with 12 verified testimonials. The second product got 38% higher conversion because customers trusted social proof.
Get your link, button or banner, and test it. Try the buy button to see whether it works or not. Check the bottom of the page to make sure that the affiliate link is the same as your ClickBank ID. If it’s not, then don’t promote this product. Go through the process with another.
From the submissions, it seems that many of us have our own challenge with affiliate marketing. How many times have you been told to promote a big-ticket item because the amount of time and effort spent is the same as for a small-ticket item, but the financial rewards are much greater even if you sell far less.
That might work if you already have your affiliate marketing chops down pat. You really need to build your affiliate marketing muscles before going for the big game.
Our suggestion is to challenge yourself with small weekly goals, something like “… I am going to earn US$200 this week selling product XYZ at $20 each…” and then set your whole campaign up for the week. See what results you get at the end of the week. Make small adjustments to the campaign for week 2.
Additional Info (Real Example):
A student set a goal to sell a $15 keto eBook using Facebook groups. Week 1 they sold 11 copies ($165). After changing images and adding testimonials, Week 2 they sold 22 copies ($330).
Track everything. You may hit your $200 mark the first week, maybe not. The thing is now you have a goal and a method, and as you continue to improve your marketing skills, the sales will begin to come in. This takes practice. As you get better, you can start marketing higher-priced products.
Additional Info (Success Story):
