DPR Affiliate Marketing Blog

From Clickbank:

ClickBank is excited to announce the ClickBank HopAds Builder, a powerful new way for affiliates to promote ClickBank products. The HopAds Builder allows affiliates who own Web sites or blogs to easily create fully customizable ad boxes. This tool allows affiliates to customize both the look and content of ads to match their site.

The HopAds Builder is entirely free to use, and HopAds pay out the same affiliate commissions as Hoplinks created through the Marketplace. HopAds use ad text created by ClickBank publishers to appeal directly to consumers, and all ads are screened by ClickBank for content and quality. To start creating HopAds to display on your site, click here.

I am going to let you in on something. There are a few ways you can pick a topic for a niche blog.

One is to go through your interests and what you want to learn and pick something. Then find some affiliate products that compliment that interest. Then start writing. If you are interested, than it should be easy to come up with content. This is probably the best way. Readers will notice your passion and your stake in what you have to say. You can’t go wrong with this route.

If the topic of the new blog were something I was overly excited about, chances are that I would just start writing posts, creating categories on the fly and for the most part haphazardly jumping in with both feet and thrashing around. But I don’t want to do that. I kind of did that with this blog and it took me a while to get it under control.

So, since the goal is to make money, I will look for affiliate products first and then use those products to guide the theme of the blog. At first, I started mapping out the Ebay niche as a whole. And wasting my time. First, the products. Then the categories and content.

The last year has been the best since I’ve started affiliate marketing. I don’t see why it should be any other way. But I consider myself very lucky at the same time. Which is one of the reasons I will try to teach all I have learned in the last 4 years on this blog. I figure I need to give a little back.

This last part of the case study took a while, for a multitude of reasons.

The other two:

• Part 1
• Part 2

For one, I have been developing tracking software to track my Clickbank sales. But now there is Hexatrack and Tracking202, both of which have free trials. Actually, it’s developed. It just needs cleaned up so that others can use it. You see, I build things as fast as I can to have access to the functionality, but that leaves the interface a little less than newbie friendly. It’s simple and I am still continuing development.
