DPR Affiliate Marketing Blog

This site was hacked, I lost this post until I looked in Zimbio and found it.

I have recently been asked by someone I just met to teach them how to use Clickbank with a combination of posts here, email, and IM. I had been looking for a way to focus this blog and it being a few years since I was a newbie, it was hard to know where to start and what to cover. Well, now I can. Plus, teaching always makes my own process better because I have to go back to basics. This can only improve my own results with Clickbank.

This is going to be a course on promoting Clickbank products with Adwords, which is a little bit different than using SEO or bum marketing. I have suggested before that you should list your interests and come up with a few subjects you have interest in before choosing a product. This is because if you are going to build a blog or site around a subject, there is plenty of products you can promote from it.

With PPC however, each campaign will most likely have one to four products, so choosing the right product is very important. You still need to take a look at your interests, but it may also help to look through the Clickbank marketplace. If you are new, I would look at products with a rank of 20 to 100 in a major category. This will keep you out of the heavy competition and still give you the ability to make some good cash.

I have stuck to this rule too long myself. I am no longer a newbie, but this rank range is easy to promote. I promote products in every area of Clickbank and while higher ranking products are more profitable, they are also very tricky to promote with Adwords. You can loose your ass quick.

Products ranking much lower than this may be worth a look later, for long term slow paying money, but for now we want a good balance of money and difficulty.

So take a look at the products and see what fits your knowledge. That way, when it is time to build keyword lists, you can build a good one. I have promoted products that I had no clue about, but it takes practice and experience with search terms. People are weird. They search for weird things. But eventually you will see patterns and will be able to pull keywords off of a sales page for products you never even knew existed. But for now, it helps to know what you are promoting.

Look at the sales page and see if you would buy the product. Does it excite you? Are the graphics good? While you are at it, take a look at the top product ranking 1-10 that you will not be promoting yet. See how their sales pages are set up. Then look for products in the 20-100 range that have comparable sales pages. Remember, the sales page is the last thing potential customers will see before they purchase. You want to send them to a page that will close the sale. There is also ways around this, but we will cover this later.

Anything where the commission on the sale is in the upper teens or higher is worth a shot. Products priced much lower than that may be worth promoting through bum marketing but you will lose money when you are using PPC, at least now, when you are new.

That’s all for this article. We will start with keywords and continue with that over the next few posts.
