Clickbank – 6 Steps to Effectively Use Clickbank

Being able to choose a marketable product is really important if you dream of having a successful business. One reason why many businesses fail is because the product being offered is simply not marketable. Choosing what product to sell is very crucial when you are running an online business. Do not make the same mistakes. Now you can learn how to overcome the issue of how to choose a product to sell online.

Let me introduce to you Clickbank. If you are new in the online business then I am pretty sure that you are not familiar with Clickbank. So what is Clickbank? Clickbank by far is one of the largest affiliate market place that is currently in existence. In this article I would do my best to walk you through the necessary steps in using Clickbank, and how it can help you as an affiliate.

Clickbank I would have to say is truly a great tool that can be used by any affiliate. When internet marketing was just starting out and you wanted to sell a product there was a need for you to open some sort of merchant account and undergo some credit card process.

It was pretty difficult and tedious for new businesses since they do not have any credit history of any sort. It was rare to get credit for doing more than $1,000 in sales a month until you built up a reputation as a reputable business. This made it very difficult for the new online entrepreneur to get anywhere. That is why it was such a good thing, short of a breath of fresh air when Clickbank came into play.

So how can you effectively use Clickbank in your quest for that right product to sell? Here are the steps that you need to know.

1. First, you have to open a browser and type in Clickbank.com. Right after you open it you would see something like this (refer to picture below) as soon as you open their site. On the top portion of the website you will see various tabs, click on the tab that says “Marketplace.”

2. Once you click on the Market place tab you will transferred to this page below. As you can see, there are various categories to your right. Be sure to choose a category that you know and that you are familiar with. Choosing something that you are interested in is important because it would be easier for you to market the product and also when it comes to inquiry you can easily handle it.

For this article I will go ahead and choose the category “Self-help.” What you will do is you will click on that category and then you will be presented with a list of Self-help products to choose from.

3. These results are based on the popularity of the products for the category you have chosen. Now do not be overwhelmed with the results that you see because there would be a lot. It would be helpful if you will look at the figures that you see below. On each result, you see statistics stating various things.

On this screenshot, I have on top I have encircled the category I chose and some number that you need to look into. The first would be $/sale which is $24.80. This means that as an affiliate you will earn $24.80 for each sale. This is not so bad since you were not the one who actually made the product right? So imagine you will sell like 20 of this in a day then that is like $496 in a day. That is a lot of money!

Now let us move on to %/refd which is 95%. This means that 95% of the sales that were made are referred. This is a good sign because it means that the product is really marketable and people are buying it.

4. So, now we will choose the product that we will market and I have chosen the third product which is “Get Your Ex Boyfriend Back.” What I do next is I click on the product I have chosen so I can go over the sales letter of the product. Below you will see what I have clicked and the product that is being sold.

5. Once you read the sales letter and you are convinced that it is indeed a good product then it is time to click on that “Promote” button.

6. As soon as you click on that promote button you will see a pop-up window that looks like something below. If you are not a member yet then you have got to fill out a form first and then after that you will be given your own URL which you can use to market the product.
