Most online marketers know about ClickBank (and if you don't I'll explain exactly what it does just below) but few of you guys know how to make money with Clickbank.
Usually people who are new to affiliate marketing sign up, check out a crappy product and wonder how it can actually make sales. Then, they try to throw some random traffic at it and seeing that nobody bought it, curse at the platform and call it crap. Sounds familiar?
While many people will call Clickbank yet another affiliate network, that's not all it is. The platform is more of a marketplace for product creators and affiliates to make money together without cumbersome paperwork or agreements.
As an affiliate marketer, you can jump right in, create your unique affiliate links for thousands of products (more on that later) and start pushing traffic right away to earn money. You will also see your earnings in real time.
It's free to join and there's no screening process. No cap or complicated metrics. It's basically a simplified affiliate network, open to anyone that wants to give it a shot.
As a product owner, you can add your product to the database and ClickBank will take care of all the checkout and e-commerce part, as well as offering an affiliate program for it.
That's why if you start making some serious sales volume, you may want to move out of the platform eventually. But when you get started and only make a few hundred dollars per day, it's a great help to not have to deal with all the tech stuff.
One of the best ways to make money on Clickbank is to start as an affiliate, promoting pages that have already been optimized, in order to build your sales funnels.
Much like keyword research for SEO, picking the right product to promote on ClickBank is extremely important. No matter how good you are at promoting, if you push traffic to a sales page that doesn't sell, you will not make much money.
Avg %/sale: The % of the sales price affiliates take as a commission on average.​
Grav: Gravity, the number of affiliates that sold this product in the last 12 weeks.​
Avg Rebill Total: Average $ affiliates take as a commission as a result of rebills.​
In order to know where your conversions come from, the best practice is to create a new link each time you put a link somewhere. This way, you will be able to tell which emails/pages convert and which don't.
In order to create a tracking ID, when you create your link simply add it in the "Tracking ID" field as per the screenshot bellow.
If you read on other online marketing blogs, you'll see a ton of "tactics" to make money with ClickBank. Some of them work and some of them clearly don't work.
The issue most of these tactics have, apart from the last one, is that they have very limited preselling. People are thrown to sales pages without knowing exactly why they are there or who is this guy trying to sell them an information product.
Preselling is HUGE. You need to give people valid reasons why they should buy the product and if you can be that 3rd party giving a recommendation,
This one is the most common and very often least profitable. The tactic is simple. Find a somewhat related article on your site and slap a banner on the sidebar or in the middle of the article, without any form of preselling the product specifically.
However, your EPC (earning per click) will be very low because the product does not come recommended by the author.
In content links are usually in line recommendations that are embedded directly in the text. The recommendation often comes from the voice of the author and if they've done a good job building trust throughout the article/post, the conversion rates will be decent.
However, they're not very prominent and will only catch the attention of the most attentive readers. Other than trusting the author, there's not much of an incentive to click through.
Review traffic is extremely targeted and people landing on your page have a very high chance to buy.
If your review doesn't look completely biased, there's a good chance they'll trust you and click through your link to buy the product.
The issue with reviews, is to actually get the volume of traffic you need to make a lot of sales.
The traffic on review keywords is low and the competition is fierce. Every SEO and their sister tries to make money with reviews and you end up sitting in the middle of a negative SEO fest, for trickles of traffic.
Not ideal, if you're trying to build a long term property. Also, there's no other way to scale than horizontally (produce more reviews) because there just isn't much traffic for each product review. This makes it hard to grow faster or use paid traffic to push things up.
Plus, nobody links or shares any of the content above because it sells and people tend to hate linking or sharing stuff that sells something to its readers. It's just the way it is.
Not being sharable or linkable is a huge handicap in today's social web. This means you will have to pay or produce all of your traffic and if you ever want to have a chance to show up in Google, you'll have to spend hours doing tedious link building. Not fun, not scalable, not economical.
So how do you remain shareable while making sales? Simple, give free stuff and add value.
You sell to the people that wanted more free stuff and gave you their email for it.
You basically keep your front end clean of ANY sales pitch. You run it like a media company offering free content to the readers.
Well, if someone doesn't care enough about the topic to give you their email address, they probably won't give you money for it.
Let's dive into each element of the funnel and how you can execute each of them:
This one is pretty straight forward. If you create value only content, getting links using these tactics and getting shares is fairly easy. There's 3 main ways I recommend you to go after traffic:
Remember there rules. Keep the content clean of promotions (apart from your opt in), give value, establish yourself as an authority and don't be greedy. That will really set you apart from 99% of affiliates.
Create a complementary piece of content to the article. For example, if the article is a list of tips, create 3 more tips that people can download. This can be more recipes or anything that is a continuation to the content. This way, the people that were engaged enough to read until the end will most likely want to trade their email for more.
Otherwise, people will be frustrated and think they need to pay for the lead magnet.
Notice that the call to action is to "continue" meaning we're not telling them anything is for sale yet.
This is where things start to be fun. As opposed to people trying to throw traffic to a sales page once and then have no chance to see those visitors again, you have their contact details!
I'll usually finish with a question, opening a loop making them want to open the next email.
In the second email, you email them to answer the question you asked in the previous email and start (excuse for the email). Then you go on and help them visualize themselves having solved the problem and all the things they could do when it is solved.
Simply elicit positive emotions of all the great things that could happen and link it back to your product.
In the final email of the series you want to push people to take action right now. bonuses etc if available with the offer) and guilt people for not taking action.
You can use sentences like: "Einstein defined insanity as the fact of doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" or "You need something new if you really want to change your life".
This is when you want to make sure the product actually delivers. If you guilt low income overweight people to buy a crappy pseudo science product and they lose both money and hope, you're not a great person.
These sales tactics are powerful and work but you have to have ethics when using them. Remember, Really helping people makes you more money.
If you're thinking this is a lot of work, and it really isn't, then imagine how happy you'll be when your daily emails go out and you see money trickling in that way (wait, was that visualization?).
Once people have gone through the 3 part autoresponder, simply add them to your main broadcast list and email them your next pieces of content. If they're interested, they'll opt in and enter a new mini sales funnel.
This is a great way to not burn your email list while constantly selling. Those who don't opt in never get sold to, until they are interested enough to download your lead magnet. At this point, you're seen as a great value giver since your front end is always pure value.
The process is fairly simple and after a bit of optimization you'll be able to let it run as people get out of your retargeting list after a bit.
Send that traffic to a squeeze page. They will know who you are and you can achieve as much as 70% opt in rate with some headline tweaking.
Now that you've built the initial funnel, let it run for a little bit. Perhaps start building a second one and after a while, decide if it's worth spending more time on it.
If it's making some sales and you want to expand it, all you need to do is pick one area and expand it. These include:
When you've reached a certain scale, you should already be making several thousand dollars per month. At this point,
As you probably guessed, the scope of this strategy is slightly larger than ClickBank itself. ClickBank is a great, simple place to start replacing things such as Adsense or Amazon revenue for real sales. It tends to generate much more revenue.
You can use this in other networks or even for your own products. Be careful though,
Awesome post Gael. I'll definitely be revisiting this one in the future with the authority site that I'm currently building out.
Quick question for you, when you are using FB ads to drive traffic to your page, how much do you usually pay per conversion?
Another thing to consider is that even if you break even on the first sale, you're still winning. All you need to do is create more content about other problems that target market may have following the same principle and queue them one after the other. digestion problems, diabetes, aging problems etc. let them opt in for what matches their issues and make several sales to that audience.
So if you break even on the first sale but you're able to scale massively, you win.
Finally, A/B testing is your friend, you can probably cut the cost in 2 or 3 by testing different headlines/landing pages etc. But aim for break even you'll make good money from follow up emails/promos (you just have to run them).

So that you can target specific solutions that are related to that problem that prompted them to join your list.
