Step By Step Tutorial For Making Money With Clickbank
Making money with Clickbank is simpler than you think. There are possibly 10,000 ebooks on Making Money with Clickbank and you are going to head into Information Overload if you try to work out every aspect of making money with Clickbank in a week.
So I have stripped down the Big Story of making money with clickbank.com, and kept this as simple as possible.
1 Go to Clickbank.com and search the Marketplace.
2 Find a subject that interests you – something you feel you could write about and share your knowledge on. Example: Dog Training. Find a few Clickbank products for this subject with good gravity. (See Clickbank help for what this means)
3 Think of a few phrases people would use if ‘Googling’ about this subject. Example: Dog Training, Obedient Dog, How to Train your Dog, etc.
4 Go to Google and do a search using inverted commas “like this” on those above phrases.

At the top of the screen where it says
Personalized Results 1 - 10 of about 1,620,000 for how to train your dog. (0.20 seconds)
You will notice that Google is showing 10 results of 1.6 MILLION sites on this subject!
TOO HIGH. Try again with another phrase. And another phrase. Until you find a phrase that has fewer than 6,000 sites. (The fewer the better) You may have to try long phrases like “how to train my dog to lie down”.
5 Once you have the phrase with the lesser competition, write a 500 - 1000 word article which includes the chosen phrase in the heading; in the sub heading; in the first paragraph; and maybe a couple more times. Make sure the heading is compelling, (if you are useless at writing, you need to get someone to do it for you)
6 Make your article MAKE MONEY
Here’s the clever bit. Throughout your article, you can place links with the affiliate code to the Clickbank products you have chosen to promote. With the Dog Training idea you could find many ebooks on dog training tips and pop them into your article. For instance.
“Teaching your dog to lie down is simple. If your dog has learned some very basic obedience tricks so far, it will take less than 30 minutes. I taught my dog obedience basic by using this book (‘book’ is a link to a obedience training manual on Clickbank with your affiliate link supplied by Clickbank)
6 Put your article where Google likes it to be!
This includes Ezinearticles.com, Goarticles.com, Wordpress.com (blog), Squidoo.com and Hubpages.com. You can also place an advertisement for free at Craiglist.com and UsFreeAds.com.
7 Wait for Google to find your article, and list it (2 days to 2 weeks). If you have chosen a keyword with little competition, you are going to find your article on page one or two! If your article is still many pages back, you may need to write a second article and link it to your first article to push it up. For instance, write an article on “how to train your dog to sit”, and at the end of the article mention the other article on “how to train your dog to lie down”.
Place some free ads linking to the article. Make a Squidoo and link to the article. Each of these tips should push you up the rankings.
Of course, this only works if you are going for a keyword with little competition. If you are targeting “weight loss”, you will be swimming with 5 zillion other sites for many years, trying to boost your ratings. There is no need. Keep finding those smaller competition keywords, rinse and repeat.
While your first article may only bring you a commission check of $20-$100 per month, imagine if you continued all year and had 1000 articles bringing you $20-$100 per month? That is a mammoth $20-$100k per year. Clickbank will deliver a cheque every two weeks to your door, and you can get your housekeeper to bank them, while you’re sunning yourself in Europe!
Ok… this is very, very, very simplified. But it takes the enigma out of making money with Clickbank, and this method will get just about anyone started.
Simply follow it.

Is there a phrase with less than 6K results? I have never seen one. I guess the "" make it easier.
Hi Terry,
I tend to change my search results, in the advanced search of google to 100 per page, then when I search for a phrase, I scroll down to the bottom and click on the last page, ie page 10.
You can then see how much unique content is in google for that phrase rather than 100,000 results, there is usually about 900 ish.
I guess Im telling this to the wrong guy, lol. Looks like you are an SEO expert.
Can you give my readers some tips? Cheers, Gavin
Hey Gav!
You're such a clickbank whore!!! AWESOME article! Keep it up bro, I love this stuff!
Hey Ryan, Great to see you here on the blog! Hope things are going well for you!
I always enjoy reading your articles, they are informing and get to the point. It is like keyword research before I write a new page. If I have high demand but low competition, my profit is higher. Here it is very similar.
I must admit, I haven't tried Clickbank yet, but I will soon. There should be money to be made with some of the pages that I wrote about. You wrote up everything step by step, so it should be easy to follow your suggestion for clickbank.

Ah yes… article marketing rocks for bringing in highly qualified traffic that leads to sales although for maximum results you can submit to legitimate ezines and newsletters and not just the major directories.

I am sorry if I have put this in the wrong place!?
I have made a website that allows novices to sell software and ebooks - and I look after the inventory. Simply sign up and start selling keeping 100% of the profits for yourself. I add fresh, full resale rights software every week.
It really is a good starting point for people that don’t know much about building websites or hosting. It was born out of frustration myself.

Thanks Chris, Its ok and its relevant to my post about Clickbank.
The only problem I find about creating sites that are general and broad in nature is that its very difficult to get the targeted traffic from Google. The reason for this is that when promoting your site and conducting SEO, its difficult to know what keywords to use.
Niche sites are easier to promote as everything on that site relates to a specific topic and all keywords pointing back to the site are aimed at that topic.
I hope you do well with your ebook site, but there are a lot of ebook directories out there and competition will be fierce unless you have a plan.
Thank you for your great post. enjoyed reading your information

Definitely not for me. More than 90% of CB products are scams, duplicates and crap.
"While your first article may only bring you a commission check of $20-$100 per month, imagine if you continued all year and had 1000 articles bringing you $20-$100 per month? That is a mammoth $20-$100k per year. "
dream on…

It's a better way to escalate profits from CB as affiliate if you have many blogs running, time takes to build sites and energy required.Research on keywords also is a must.thx
