Money With Clickbank For Beginers And Newbies

Not making money with Clickbank but with content sites

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Thu, 12 May 2011 18:38:00 +0000

Hi people! Sorry it took me so long to update this Clickbank blog. Its been awhile eh? Well, I've some shocking news for you (cue dramatic drum-rolls). I'm shifting my business model away from clickbank! So this post will be on how and what model of making money online I'll be moving towards. Sit tight because I'll keep all of you posted and YES I'll still be sharing tips on how to make money online on Clickbank as well.

(Btw, if you're still looking for ways to promote CB products click on that link)

Why am I shifting you might ask? Well, I see building sites as a longer term, more sustainable business model which requires harder upfront work but sweeter and longer term profit prospects. I enjoy giving value (lower-mid to high end value) to consumers of my information - just like this very blog you're reading right now!

So let's talk about content sites and how to monetize content sites. My strategy is very simple - dead simple actually. I'm first going to talk one ONE method and if responses and comments are encouraging, I'll release my second method of making money online through content sites. You probably might have noticed by now that the main method of monetization on this site is through Adsense so I'll be walking you through Adsense as the main income generator for your content site.

Oh and to, you know, show off a little and because pictures make such a nice break between reading chunks of text:

This is a closed event organised by Google for its Adsense partners like me who makes a good amount per month. Don't ask me how much, I'm not gonna say :) I've blacked out some parts for obvious reasons, so you don't know who I am and where I live!

Ok back to the topic on hand, which is making money through content sites! This strategy is broken down into the following steps.

1. Domain Selection
Of course, before this step, you've gotta choose your niche first. I've already covered that extensively in this blog so go to the archives for a look-see. But if I've a offer a quick advice, it is to do something you've extensive and wide knowledge of! For example...

What are your interests? Your hobbies? What subjects did you excel in school? What kind of problems or troubles your friends turn to you for advice? What do you get praised on/about? The books you like to read often? Where/what do you hang out/do in your spare time?

Ok, I think that gives you a good start in finding a niche you've no problem working on. As you can see, one of mine is making and teaching people how to making money online hence all this typing out of text you're reading right now comes easily to me.

You've two options: buy it or register it. I utilize the buying aspect very often. Why? Because a good niche domain is usually taken up. The downside is the potential cost you need to fork out of course. (I'll deal with specifics on buying domains and answer the question of 'how much is too much?' in another post)

Some good places to search for domains to buy: namepros.com, dnforum.com and flippa.com. Sedo.co.uk is another good place to snap out niche related domains as well. What kind of name is a good name you ask? Lets say you're niche is on training widgets. So, a good domain name (which entails it being descriptive) can be howtotrainyourwidgets.com. That's a pretty ok name. A better one would be trainingyourwidgets.com. An even better one would be trainingwidgets.com and the best would be widgets.com

Of course, I'm using .coms examples above but .net and .org works well too and they have no negative impact in your search engine rankings based on my own personal experience.

2. Content post
This is self-explantory. And I've expanded on in great detail about write great content that 'sticks' and that ranks on the search engine in clickbank money making blogs and clickbank cash generating blogs. The key here is to tightly write your content around your individual posts (be it blogspot or wordpress) instead of around the topic per se. This will make your posts tigher and will allow Adsense to deliver very specific ads - meaning higher click throughs and more money for you!

It helps that you've good knowledge about the particular niche you want to enter that why I gave those examples I did in 'domain selection' about how to choose your niche. You might wanna consider outsourcing as your site grows and you want to post on a more frequent basis to gain further traction with your readers. Fiverr.com is a good place to look for cheap and competent writers.

So do you like what you read so far? What niches are you an authority in? Care to share in the comments? I look forward to writing the 2nd part for you!

P.S. do share this post if you think that it has benefited you! It is much appreciated if you could spread the love...

clickbank blog linking to other blogs

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 12:07:00 +0000

Hey guys, so its been a while since I last updated my blog. I've been busy making money online with clickbank and also been lazy. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about you and I've been reading all your blog comments and the links back to your blogs. By the way, to give away a little hint to my identity, I was away in new york for affiliate summit.

Anyway, back to the topic I'm going to talk about today, it is on 'blog commenting and blog linking.' Let me tell you this straight up front that blog comments and/or posting a link back to your blog does work but you've to do it smartly. This blog, for instance, gets lots of comments, some spam, some dumb, some stupid and some quite clever.

Here's a pic of some of your comments:

Take a good look at the comments. Spam comments go straight to 'report spam'. While lazy comments like 'nice blog!' (although genuine) that asks or adds little value does not get approved by me. BUT good constructive comments and questions gets approved and you get a little link love from me and this clickank blog.

Why it is good to allow people to comment on your blog:

Well, firstly, you're having 'new content' on your blog. People's comments and questions are directly related to your post. So it is most likely relevant content and information to your blog post. And if you don't already know, all things being equal, more content means...gooooood.

The second more important reason is that in Google's crazy ass ranking algorithms, I believe that there is an 'interactivity' element to it and...many other marketers' experience and tests have corroborated my suspicions. Having people post comments on your blog tells google that you've an active blog! It tells them people are reading your content and they are interacting with your site!

Take the tips above and put it to good use. You heard it here first. Now I'm not gonna tell you to go out there and go crazy with your comments. No! Because your blog comments have to look au naturel...like a couple a day. Tough work yea, but who said making money online was as easy as clicking a few buttons? Whoops I forgot, all the gurus say that don't they! Check out this related blogpost I made a while back: clickbank and blogspot

I know you guys are gonna go crazy blog commenting on this post right now, go ahead but don't trip over yourselves alright? The Adsense ads showing up for this clickbank blog post is so gonna be all over the place because I just realised the keywords that I typed into this blog post are not 'tight' enough. haha. whatever.

P.S. If you like my blog or blog posts, do place a link somewhere or just tell your friends. You would get my eternal gratitude and appreciation. Oh and please do tell me what you'd like me to talk about in my next blog post!

Clickbank And Blogspot

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 14:49:00 +0000

Howdy guys. It's been a long while since I last updated this blog. I know many of you are waiting for updates and tips so I apologise for my lack of updates on this clickbank and blogspot blog! I'll try to post more next time.

I'll talk about SEO today and how you can use Search Engine Optimization to drive traffic to your site and make sales, commissions and get Adsense Clicks.

Notice how this clickbank and blogspot blog is deliberately created and worded. The blog titles of each blogspot are chosen and if you scroll down on the right hand side and browse the archives you will see that I'm ranking top spots for whatever I choose as my headers.

For instance, see how I link the title back to my website so I'll always get new link juice simply by committing link incest. (linking back using the same site)

For instance my previous post: mentality for making money with clickbank is ranked for that particular keyword post title. That is not to say if I create a post titled 'make money' I'll definitely get ranked for it..not yet at least.

You see, it all has to do with website authority. I'm able to create blogposts and rank it for whatever longer tailed keywords is because I've established the blog as a legitimate authority (who says free blogs like blogspot can't have 'authority'?)around the topic of 'make money with clickbank'.

So the take away from this post?

1. Always rank and name your blog for a longer tailed keyword first and work your linking towards that keyword. Say you're in the dating niche, use Google Keyword Tool to search for one good keyword with sufficient search volume. You might (I'm just making this phrase, please use the tool to actually find a good keyword!) use 'dating for uber geeks'. Wrap your entire link building around this keyword...initially.

2. Try to writer longer posts. You do not need to write an essay but Google will gobble your content up happily if you've more words and more content like how I'm trying to extend this blog post by typing in a long and slow manner so that the search engine bots will have more profitable keywords to chew on.

more tips to follow in the next post...

Mentality for making money with Clickbank

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 05:23:00 +0000

Hey guys, my apologies for the late late updates on this clickbank make money blog. I've been busy making money online and more so with my offline business. I'm starting a retail unit (using money from my online business) and it's lots of work but I enjoy it. Oh I'm also still an undergraduate so school work piles up too.

I better stop rambling about myself otherwise Adsense might start showing up untargeted ads related to schooling or degree and that kinda crap - not good for me. See one thing I want to talk about is your mindset and mentality. Don't discount this as I find it crucial to making or breaking your online success. Which do you belong to:

A. Someone who reads money blogs like this one, gets upset when the author updates infrequently but does NOTHING and concrete towards the goal of making money?

or

B. Somewho who reads money blogs like this and follows the advice given out and works on those methods regardless of future posts.

Guys, I've to tell you this: Do not take everything for granted and assume it works! Meaning, test things out! Internet marketing rule #1! With all the bull crap floating around online, its easy to get caught up in the hype and start buying this course and that course. Never assume anything, people's success (meaning their CRAZY testimonials) doesn't mean you will make that much money. (survivorship bias.)

It's gonna get slighty technical here so bear with me. Imagine a complete newbie (let's call him crappy) writes and releases an ebook on how to make money online based on what he thinks works. Assuming an infinite number of people bought his ebooks, statistically, a few people will become millionaires using his method BUT most people will either lose money or not make money at all. Which testimonials do you think he will use? Obviously he's gonna say his students have made millions - which is not, technically, a wrong statement.

So guys, all kinds of methods to making money online (twitter, adwords, adsense, whatever) are bound to have winners given that SO MANY people are trying to make money of it, the key question is...is that the TYPICAL results or is it just the presentation of survivorshop bias?

I hope you will be more discerning after reading this post. As always I welcome your comments and I look forward to posting more on how you can make money from Clickbank (and adsense too!)

Talk soon!

Clickbank Earnings ZERO!

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:41:00 +0000

Yes you read that right. ZERO Clickbank earnings.

It's no secret I'm one of the Clickbank gurus selling you stuff on the Internet - who I will not say. But I'd just like to share a little something with you. I blasted out an email to over 60,000 subscribers and customers for a product that I thought was very good. The sales copy was quite hot as well.

The next day I woke up and I logged into my clickbank account and was momentarily stunned. Zero freaking sales. I checked and re-checked my stats and links to make sure I didn't scew up somewhere. The worst part was I really didn't screw up anywhere, it just didn't convert for me!

So what is the lesson behind this?

1. Be prepared to fail and fail very often. Even an established marketer like me can FAIL and fail superbly. Failure isn't a bad thing because you can always learn something from it no matter what.

2. Never let it get you down. I turned my 'failure' into strength. I directed the negative energy into tweaking, updating and reworking on all my existing clickbank sites.

3. Do a post mortem - find out whats wrong and try not to commit the same mistake.

Hope you gained something from that little rant of mine! I'd like to report back on this blog's progress. Despite my lack of updates, traffic has been steadily rising for this Clickbank blog - mainly from Google.

Not too bad I would say. I've talked about create blogs like these and how to rank for keywords in previous posts. If you missed it, here they are:

Clickbank money making blogs

How to make money with clickbank blogs

I'm on the first page for many country's 'make money with clickbank' terms. That is a good start. Now I'm gonna gun for the first page.

To be honest, it is no secret on how to rank for terms. You just need lots of links in and good on site optimization. Read through this blog and notice how many times I mention my main keywords and the times I bolded them.

And getting links in is not difficult at all! It's free and its easy. Hit on the 2 lesson links above for a more in depth review on how to rank for your blogs well on Google.

Guys I also need your help. Tell me what you want my future posts to be. Comment on this post and tell me what you wish to know. Don't be afraid to ask but don't be daft and ask 'how do I make money online'.

Thanks for all the kudos - you guys keep me going on and posting here. And despite some of your suggestions...I'm NOT grizzly although he is someone I really like and this blog is modeled after his.

How To Earn Through Clickbank

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 08:20:00 +0000

My readers: apologies for not updating this how to earn through clickbank blog for a long long time. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, it was my exams so I had less time to devote to my clickbank business as a whole but I'm glad to say that it is now over and done with so I'll concentrate more time to this blog, my business and doing some traveling!

So today, I want to talk about how you can earn money through clickbank through blogging - yes - even through a lousy, ugly blogger blog like this. I'll detail some if methods I've used in the to great effect (without reveal all my niches) and how you can to. So here's a few primers before I move on the detailing the exact methods:

1. Do not chase after the 'big ones'. By that I mean not starting a blog on making money online, on credit cards, on taxes, insurance, laws, credit cards etc. The reason is simple, the competition is HUGE and if you're getting started with niches like this, chances are that you will not see results and get disheartened. Moreover starting blogs with keywords like insurance, credit cards, making money may place you at higher risk at being flagged as a spam blog!

2. Optimize your entire blog just for one particular keyword. If you read through my blog and see how this blog is set up, you'll notice that I'm, obviously, targeting the keyword making money with clickbank and all my posts are targeted at that keyword. That way, you can up your chances of being served the best, highest paying ads. Currently, I only serve 1 ad block on the top. It doesn't earn or receives as much traffic for me to justify adding another block - yet. CPC is high at around $0.5 - $1 + even.

3. Select the 'minima' theme.

Ok, those are the basic primer and will warrant another blog post on itself for the topic. I'll go straight into how you can make money online and earn through a blogger blog.

1. Create Review sites

Whenever a new product gets launched (note, this doesn't just work on the IM niche alone - in fact, it works better in non-im niches!) you can get ranked pretty quickly for it because there is very few competition for the "product name" + "review" phrase. Of course, the key is in anticipating the product and getting it ranked quickly - which really isn't that hard to do.

You'll need a few relevant backlinks point back to your review site. That site should just serve the review contend and point back towards the product with your clickbank link - no adsense ads etc. You can get relevant links by quickly whipping up backlinks from hubpages.com, squidoo.com and today.com. Ezinearticles is left out because they will take much much longer to approve for article and speed is paramount to this method.

Create (with a different email account) 2 or 3 other blogs and have your anchor text linking back to your main review sites. You should get ranked pretty quickly for it. Even if it doesn't work, all is not lost because your current review sites can be used as a linker to link to your future review blogs!

Try to use the keyword you're targeting in your headline, post title, blog name as far as possible. For instance, if the product you're targeting is named 'clickbank extreme' then you should try to create a blog with the name clickbankextremereview.blogspot.com or/and clickbankextreme.blogspot.com and if it is taken, make use of dashes '-' like clickbank-extrememe-reviews.blogspot.com

Once you've done one review, 2 reviews, you'll pretty much know what works and what doesn't. The key here is to go out and do it and pretty much play with it. I've given you a very general guideline but you should be ultimately making the decisions yourself, on what to post, how to post, how frequent etc.

Thats all for today folks. But before I end this how to earn through clickbank post, I'd like to show you something:

If you're scratching your head, wondering about my previous post on making money with cpalead...well I've to apologise as I was experimenting if I could rank for a completely (well not completely) different term that the blog is optimized for. Turns out it works! Got ranked for 'premium content area cpalead' What does this show?

Once you're clickbank is gets craweled (it doesn't even have to be an authority or an established site!) you can pretty much start ranking for many related niches, cross niches keywords as well. Think about it, sit on it :)

Making Money With CPALEAD.com

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 12:59:00 +0000

Ok, I've decided to not focus only on making money with Clickbank but also making money with CPA (and a whole lot of other ways too).

Its getting too boring just talking about Clickbank and how to make money from it, I get bored. And when I get bored, I don't post so talking about other ways of making money from your little blog works well too. Now for the purpose of this method, you need to sign up to CPA Lead. (aff link)

It's not easy to get approved but if you've a site or blog that receives some form of traffic, they should be able to let you in. I'm also a recent 'joinee' but have made money from it already:

Yeap, I'm just 5 days into this and I'm already making money too - and I'm about to share with you how. CPALEAD offers surveys - quick short surveys for your visitors to fill up through an application called a gateway.

What this gateway does is it allows you to unlock 'premium content'. Let me give you an example. Say you run a video blog and there are some areas (or some premium videos) you don't want to give out access readily to people. What you can do is place a gateway on that page, so if your visitors want to access the content they just have to fill up the survey that comes up!

A few ideas how you can do this:

1. Video blog - access to premium videos
2. Premium content - access to premium content or membership area

Works like a charm :)

Clickbank Monetization Method Again!

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 08:39:00 +0000

Hello all,

This is the 2nd part in a series which I'll be highlighting the different ways to monetize your clickbank blog. In the previous post, I mentioned that I'll be adding the monetization model of Adsense and will be posting back on results.

I'm glad to mention that adding the Adsense ad block above the main post fold didn't smart price my other ads and it is receiving good payouts in terms of earning per clicks. I will contemplate adding another Adsense block on the right hand side. Traffic increased a little weeny bit and that is good news because, after the addition of Adsense, traffic didn't drop!

I will probably cover another monetization model in the next post but I wanted to talk more and dissect my recent addition of Adsense and what you can learn from it. If you click through and read my previous posts, the aren't short blurbs or short 'paragraphic' posts, the are meaty.

I did this for a reason because I've set the main blog to show only 1 post at a time (for a good reason) and so I need to post and write lengthier then usual to have content for Adsense to detect what my post is all about.

If you click on my 'advertising on this blog' post you will see that it is one of my shortest posts ever and that the ads displayed there are distinctly different from all the other blog posts. The reason for this is simple, there is very little content on that post and what that post talks about (advertising on this blog) is not relevant to what this blog is really about (make money with clickbank through free blogger blogs)

Of course, if my blog posts get too lengthly, maybe it will turn some people off and they will leave the page. If I have done that, then BINGO! Because when they leave the page, they likely to click on my ads, click on my other monetization models thus making me money. This is the line of thinking you should adopt when you create your blog posts - bear in mind you're there to make money!!

Monetizing Your Clickbank Blog

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 09:52:00 +0000

Hey All,

I'm gonna go through a few ways to making money with your free blogger blog today. And I'm gonna do a walk-through and actually implement on this site so you can see the actual changes and how much each monetization method can bring for you. Sounds fun eh?

The very first method I'm gonna use is Adsense on this clickbank blog. Of course, I'm gonna incorporate Clickbank affiliate promos, CPAs, lead selling, advertising etc eventually and I'll also dissect each one of them for you

"Why Adsense?"

There are many reasons for this.

First, Adsense is one of the easiest ways of monetizing your blogger blog because it doesn't require any purchasing, filling in of forms, it presents the laziest, most likely course of action (compared to the other monetization methods) that your visitor would most likely undertake.

So to put it plainly, this is the one method that is likely to be the most successful.

Second, I didn't add any Adsense ads into this blog from the start, it started out as a clean, simple ad free blog and has received organic traffic from Google for a while. Whilst I'd love to have more free organic traffic before proceeding (I like it to be at least 100 visitors a day or thereabouts) but for the sake of demonstrating the profitability of a free 'ugly' blogger blog, I'm pressing on.

Third, I know for a fact that the "make money online" niche pays well. Not fantastic but fairly well. If I start getting payout per clicks that are very low (getting smart-priced) or if only Public Service Ads show, I know I've got a problem and can take corrective actions.

Ads you don't wish to be showing...
And finally, it is one of the easiest to set up! (Yes I'm lazy) It merely involves logging into my Adsense account and copying and pasting the code over. For this blog, I'm going to post just ONE Adsense ad first which will be above the post title in blogger.

In case you're wondering how to do that, Griz over at make money blogging explains the step very well.

One more note to add is that, what I've been writing and doing up to this point has been for this moment. And this is what you should aim for also, for the monetization moment. If you're thinking right now: "Oh?? I write blog posts, send traffic, seo my site, get links and bust my ass off for months and monetize it BUT it might not work out?"

YES. Its true. Not every blog you create in the steps I layed out will make money for you.

If you're not comfortable with patience, a little bit of work and delayed gratification...then this is probably not for you.

Look at it this way, what's the worse that could happen? Not a lot really. Even if you don't make a single bloody cent, you would've learnt a whole lot about blogging, SEO, article marketing and niche selection.

Either way, you're learning something valuable.

I'll be talking about the next method of monetizing your Clickbank blog in the next post!

Clickbank Money Making Blogs - Driving Traffic

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 05:24:00 +0000

Ok, so I've not been posting on this blog for quite a bit. I noticed there are quite a few repeat visitors who are checking back to this clickbank blog but are left disappointed with the lack of updates.

But first, I want to let you know that despite my absence and lack of updates, this blog is still receiving a nice stream of visitors from the search engines:

Sure, it is not fantastic but look at the stats closely and you'll see that I'm getting traffic from MSN, Yahoo and Google plus they are linking to different pages of my blog. In fact, I'm pretty confident traffic will start to pick up once more because my previous post was one on my blog's ad rates which is unrelated and irrelevant to the theme and topic of this blog. And that, my friend is one of the lessons you've to remember:

1. You don't have to continually post fresh content to get traffic to your blog. Focus on driving traffic on and off site first and foremost. Of course, that is not to say that you shouldn't pump new content - you should - but driving traffic takes priority.

2. Post related articles and content to the theme of your blog! Doing this will keep your readers engaged and keep the search engines from viewing your page or blog as a relevant site.

3. Don't try to make money from your blog too quickly! Notice my blog - making money from clickbank. It has no Adsense ads, no promotion banners etc. Why? There is a reason behind it of course! Most people tend to place Adsense ads/Clickbank links in their blogs first before anything else.

This is a big NO-NO! You run the risk of Google flagging your site a spam site or made for Adsense site! So wait for traffic to pick up first, perhaps to at least 100 visitors a day before you consider placing any ads!

Will post again real soon with more details of driving traffic!

OUT.

Advertising On This Blog

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 17:33:00 +0000

I've had a few request asking for an ad spot on my blog and as such I've decided to create this 'ad rate' post detailing the rates and such.

I'm getting about 30-50 unique visitors almost purely from Google itself for the search term 'money with clickbank' and its various permutations. As I start posting more and word gets out around about this blog, I only expect readership and traffic to increase.

All sponsored links will have the 'no follow' inserted (I'm selling traffic not page rank) and I have the right to reject any ads as I deem fit.

It now costs $20 to advertising for a month - 30 days. If you're interested, me me at substantialmedia@gmail.com. And please, no affiliate link advertisements!

Clickbank Cash Generating Blogs

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 12:48:00 +0000

Hello again people!

This blog post will be focused on driving traffic to make money with clickbank using blogger blogs. That's a heck of a mouthful, I know but it is deliberate. By the way if you noticed I've haven't been updating it for a while. Reason being I was away in Vietnam for a holiday with my gal.

Anyway, back on the topic at hand, in the previous post I talked about creating a blogger blog and making money from it. Read it again if you haven't and even if you have, make sure you read it again because it is crucial to creating your own clickbank blog networks.

By the way, I've got 2 people following me on this blog now as of today:

Not a lot, I know, but considering this blog isn't that regularly updated and coupled with the fact that I did not spend a dime on advertising and considering most of the traffic is from Google, this is a very good start!

Why I am telling you all this? Simple because you need to get traffic from Google's search engine like how I've been getting it! I'm not kidding when I say you can literally dominate almost any keyword with a blogger blog! Its true!

This blog is 'young' by any standards but already I'm receiving traffic from Google for the exact terms I'm targeting and more:

Take a look at the date of this Clickbank blog's first post and look at the date when I first started to receive those hits from Google:

So to anyone who says you can't get traffic with a blogger blog or says you can't make money with a blogger blog - I say bullocks!

So here's the formula for getting organic Google traffic: relevantly anchored backlines and a SEO optimized blog. Don't worry about the blog part because this exact theme I'm using right now is already as highly SEO-ed as it is.

Focus your attention on getting backlinks. One of the best places to start is ezinearticles.com. Write 250-300 word articles (unique articles) and have the backlinks coming to you from there. This is almost always sufficient to get your ranked on Google and for you to start seeing pure unadulaterated Google juice.

Another key point to remember is that you need to 'anchor text' your links correctly. For instance, I'm targeting the keyword 'make money with clickbank' and so all my backlinks are hyperlinked with the phrase 'make money with clickbank' and that links it back to my main blog. (like that little link I've sneaked unto my own blog above)

So here's the task for you to do today: Create about 5 unique 250-300 worded articles and start submitting them one by one. It is important to submit them one at a time - meaning, getting one article submitted and approved first before submitting the next one.

Do that and hang on tight for my next post which I will reveal a secret weapon that can get you lots of backlinks very quickly plus more proof that this free blogger blog can make you money (and dominate the search engines!)

Stay tuned!

How To Make Money With Clickbbank With A Blogger Blog

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 07:01:00 +0000

Ok, time for another update! This time round, I'm going to talk about promoting Clickbank products using blogger blogs like this one you're reading. Don't worry, I'm gonna show you every step of the way.

Of course, if you've followed my Clickbank product selection series closely you'll already have up to 10 blogs sitting in your account now:

Final Clickbank product selection lesson

One pertinent point I'd like to raise is that blogs within the same niches should not be used in one same blogger account. For example, you're promoting two 'make money online' products via Clickbank. And so you create 2 make money online blogs within that same blogger account. That's a big no-no!

You'll be better off creating the 2 make money online blogs on 2 seperate accounts! Trust me on this. Ok so now, we're gonna talk about create the blogger blog to promote the Clickbank product.

I'd suggest you choose the 'minima' layout and do not attempt to promote anything at all untill you've got at least 5 posts and at least some visitors. Do not add Adsense! (For now) Bear that in mind.

Select your blog to show ONE post on the main page.

The title of your blog and the description is also very very important. Make sure the title of your blog is related to a search term for your niche. For instance, choose 'howtotrainyourdog.blogspot.com' for the phrase 'how to train your dog'. If that is not available, you can use 'how-to-train-your-dog.blogspot.com'. Play around with the variations!

Now head over to ezinearticles.com

What I want you to do is to post perhaps once every 3 days to your blog. Each blog post should be keyword optimised. What I mean is that the title of each blog posts should be geared towards ranking for your main keyword. Over in ezinearticles, select the category that your promo product is on.

For example if I'm promoting a product on dog training, I'll select the category of 'pets' and 'dogs' as the sub category to promote that clickbank product:

After clicking on your category, (I'm just using a hypothetical example of dogs), you'll see a list of articles like this:

Click on every article and use the content as basis for your blog posts! Remember not to copy the articles word for word as that's tantamount to plagarism. Words cannot be copied but ideas can! And also remember your blog posts don't have to be long blog posts, just 100 - 200 words will do!

Do try to weave in main keyword phrases or variation of keyword phrases in your blog.

For example if your blog posts title is 'how to make money online with blogger blogs', within your blog post itself, try to mention it a few times words like 'make money online', 'money with clickbank' and words like that, it'll help in the later part of the search engine optimization for your blog. Do not over do it though otherwise it'll backfire.

Generally, I try to mention it once near the beginning, once near the middle and once or twice near the bottom. Hint: Read this blog posts a couple of times and try to see where I bring in my main keywords...

Fill your blog up with about 3 to 5 content blog posts, without any ads on it or promotion links before you start driving traffic. Do this for each of your niche blogs for the Clickbank products you want to promote.

It might seem a lot of work, doing all this. No doubt it isn't easy. I didn't say this was going to be easy BUT if you follow my instructions, I can almost be certain that you'll surely make some money if not lots of money from Clickbank!

Next blog posts will be geared towards driving traffic to your blog and in getting your blog ranked on Google within just weeks or even days...

Clickbank Product Selection Part 3

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:56:00 +0000

Hello people, I've hoped you've gone through the steps of Clickbank Product Selection from my earlier posts. If you haven't here they are:

Clickbank product selection part one

Clickbank product selection part two

I'll reiterate what I've been saying, if you follow this blog closely, you will make money with clickbank. I've no doubt in my mind about that!

Before I begin on the final section on Clickbank product selection, let me sidestep a little (well, its not really sidestepping because it is also related to how you can profit from Clickbank!)

If you're still skeptical about me teaching you how to earn an income from Clickbank through 'ugly' blogs like this, I've news for you...

In that screenshot above, it shows me ranking for the keyword 'make money with clickbank' This was on the 9th of December and I only started this blog on November 24th! (See my first clickbank post)

Imagine how hot your blog is going to convert on it you're able to rank your blog effectively for whatever search terms you want!

...but let's not get carried away for now, lets complete the clickbank product selection series. Previously I asked you to create 10 different blogs for 10 different products that you chose on Clickbank. Now you need to start posting.

Post one post each, you don't have to be too creative and you don't have to worry about the content. See the link above for 'first clickbank post'. You just need to get your site up and post up. Do that for all 10 blogs ok?

Great! Now that you're done, don't attempt to weave in any of your affiliates links - just yet. We'll let the blogs sit, build content first, build links and then we'll talk about having your affiliates links in.

That's not to difficult to do is it? Your tasks:

- Write a 'first post' blog
- prefably use a 'clean' layout out this make money clickbank blog
- Start sourcing for ideas on subsequent posts. By ideas I mean reading up on your topic. If you've a dog training ebook, start hanging out in dog training forums, read dog training blogs etc!

Ok, this sums up the clickbank product selection series. I'll be talking more about the blog and what you should post on it very soon!

Clickbank Product Selection Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 19:41:00 +0000

Ok, I've been lazy and this Clickbank product selection post should have been posted way earlier. Way way way earlier. I was busy making money and I apologise for neglecting you. I started noticing a few vists from various places. That is a good start, I ain't gonna start writing for no one but if there at least one person interested in reading this blog and in finding out how to make money online with Clickbank, I'll keep blogging...so soldier on we must.

In my previous post, part one of clickbank product selection, I talked about selecting products and placing them on a portfolio. Have you done that already? If you haven't, please go and read that post, complete the simple steps and revist this post here.

Done?

Great! Now I want you go physically go and vist the sales page of each of the products you've selected and choose 10 products that you'll ultimately want to target and product. I want you to visit the sales page and have a 'feel' of the product itself and see if the salespage is up to standard.

Now, place these 10 products on a new words document. These 10 clickbank products are where your focus will be on!

Ok, this next step is crucial, so listen up. For each of the products you've chosen (the ten of them) you're to create 10 different blogger blogs for each of everyone of them. But first you've got to do some keyword research.

Go to https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

It looks like this:

So for instance, if you've a dog training tips product, I want you to type the 'general' keywords into the field, say 'dog training tips'. Hit 'get keyword ideas' and you'll see something like this:

Use these keywords that you see on the results as the NAME of your blogger blog. For instance, one of the search terms is 'boxer dog training tips' so I'll try and register a blog called boxerdogtrainingtips.blogspot.com or if that is taken up, boxer-dog-training-tips.blogspot.com. And if that is also taken up, use another keyword phrase!

So do that for each of your 10 products and register a different blog from the search results for the 10 different products!

The purpose for doing this search engine optimization purposes. Do this first and check back for the next step on product selection on Clickbank.

Have fun!

Make Money With Clickbank - Product Selection Part 1

noreply@blogger.com (Clickbank Muscle) — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 05:31:00 +0000

Ok, so this is where the rubber meets the road so to speak. This is where I start to give out free content and this is where you'll make money with Clickbank (if you take action).

Of course, if you haven't read my previous post - you should. Because I posted proof of Clickbank earnings although I've stop short of identifying myself.

So anyway, enought about me, more about YOU. Before we start of with product selection, you'll need to list down your Internet marketing strength and weaknesses. Yes, that means getting a pen and a paper and literally writing it down! And yes, that means listing down if you've tried article marketing, Adwords so on and so forth.

I want you to rate yourself on each of the 'skill' on a scale of 1 to 10. Take into consideration your experience, success rate, knowledge on each of the methods when you rate yourself. Go on, I'll give you a few seconds to do that.

1 second.

2 seconds.

3 seconds.

Done? Ok, now go on and fire up Clickbank.com. Nothing that there is a 'marketplace' link right at the top, click it and you should see this:

Notice the various categories they have there like 'business to business', 'health and fitness', 'fun and entertainment' etc? Those are the various categories or niches within Clickbank.

(For those more experienced with Clickbank, please bear with me as I walk through these baby steps for the sake of the newbies here!)

I want you to click on each of those 9 categories and sort each category by means of their 'gravity score'. You can do this by selecting 'high gravity' like what you see below:

Now for each of the 9 category, do the same thing and choose the top 6 products you see on each category and paste it in a words doc named 'clickbankproductportfolio.doc' or something. Of course, if you really want to go hardcore on clickbank product selection, you could select the top 10 - by all means go ahead!

I want to pause for awhile and talk a little on Clickbank gravity scores. Clickbank gives a very complicated explanation for gravity ratings so I'm gonna simplify it for you. In short, the higher the gravity, the more people are promoting it and the more sales it is making.

So the purpose of you selecting products with high gravity rating is to select products that are proven sellers that people are currently promoting.

"Won't I be competiting with several hundreds and thousands of other affiliate marketers?? Do I stand a chance? Will I get slaughtered?"

NO! You won't get slaughtered! It is precisely thinking like that, that prevents people from making money. Think about it, where is the money in online marketing?

- Adult niche
- Make Money Niche
- Fitness
- Forex
- Pills
- Credit loans etc

These are all big big niche in their own right BUT these are also the niches where the money is at! There's a difference between chasing a sub-niche within a niche and chasing an obscure small niche : Clickbank niche within make money online niche as opposed to fishing ethusiasts living in alaska.

Ok, that is not a perfect example, (the fishing niche could be a great niche) but the point is, not to chase after the small niches and ignore the big ones for 'fear of competition' or 'its too crowded'.

The big niches are BIG which means there is enough money for everyone. Trust me on that. I've a hand in many of big niches online.

Back to our clickbank product selection!

So now you've got a doc file named 'clickbankportfolio' or something. There will be some duplicates in there, so weed them out. After weeding them out, you'll be left with a good tight list of potential products you can promote.

We are going to weed it down further but not too much. My hands are tired from all this type so I'm gonna take a rest and carry on the weeding process in the next post. You won't have to wait too long for that but I suggest you go do what I outlined in this blog first.

Yes every single step. You do want to make money with Clickbank right?

I'm sure you do.

Don't let this blog's minimalistic look fool you. I hope you don't get that gut-wrenching feeling in your stomach when you read this and go '
