Affiliate Marketing

I know a lot of internet marketers out there have been making money using various affiliate marketing techniques — from pre-selling Clickbank products to CPA marketing.

In case you didn’t know, I am the biggest loser when itboard comes to making money through affiliate marketing.

I’ve been making money on the internet for some time and to tell you the truth, the only ways that I am able to make money through affiliate marketing is joining the pre-launch’s affiliate marketing as well as to use my lists to promote affiliate offers.

So, recently, I decided to try pre-selling Clickbank products — which is a very popular way to make money online. I know some people who are making tremendous amounts of money (I’m talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenues).

Well, what I did was fairly simple. I simply purchase a domain name, install WordPress on it through Fantastico and then produce a 5-minute Camtasia video about the niche I chose (weight loss).  Lastly, I paid my article writers to write 4 articles for me and then submit to Ezine Articles.

And in just 3 days, I made my first sale of $22.78. I know some of you might say “Hey! That’s great!”. But for me, that is just too little money for so much works. Of course, I understand the money is not instant in affiliate marketing — but well, this was a great experience for me.

If I am to make $22.78 every 3 days, that’s mean I will be making about $227.80 in a month if I continue to bring traffic to it. But for most of you who really wants to start making your first dollar on the internet, I can say that affiliate marketing through Clickbank is fairly easy.

Just remember to cloak your link, create a good pre-sell page and get your articles up in article directories like Ezine Articles and that’s it. There’s really not much secrets to effective Clickbank affiliate marketing strategies.

    You’re right Desmond, Affiliate Marketing is not as easy as it’s made out to be, but it’s certainly more profitable once you’ve figured out a system!.

    Dude don’t call yourself an aff.marketing loser. I mean each and every affiliate marketers or even those super affiliates are losers in their own ways (and at some point of time). The truth about aff.markting is that no one can just give you a tip and then run away with the money. Testing is valuable in it, just like any other business

    Affiliate marketing is something that I just started getting involved with. I am concentrating on Amazon right now and have had some success. What I like about Amazon is that people already know Amazon and the trust is there. The only thing we need to do is get them there. Some of my sites have sold things that wasn’t on my niche site. That’s what is great about Amazon.
