Struggling With Clickbank?

Welcome. If you are experiencing problems with clickbank, then you must be brand new to the internet. So, again, welcome.
Signing Up.
Firstly – and this is the easy part – there is no reason at all to have any problems with clickbank itself. (Incidentally, there are other affiliate sites like pay-dot-com that are as good and will offer you similar products.)You simply go to the Website, log on, and join up. You will need to follow their prompts and fill in all the relevant boxes. Just a quick –by the way – here, choose a member name that will not embarrass you down the line when your hop link is visible everywhere.
Choosing a Good Product.
Be careful here. There are so many items that you could promote and sell that you would probably get confused and cause yourself to get lost. Get yourself a plan. If you haven’t done any of the courses available then I would very highly recommend that you do. You are welcome to use the availability of all the free stuff out there. The risk is that you leave out a step or two and will lose your money. There are a few fantastic and very comprehensive courses you could read through. I did it, and I really do say to others – go for it, it will give you a solid grounding, save you time, and really save you money. I have to presume that you want to run your internet business as an affiliate marketer.
Therefore if you have done your research properly, have setup your website, your blog or are simply going direct with the sales page of your chosen product, then choose your product.
Check and Double Check.
Again, if you have done a quality training course you will know how to analyze and choose a particular product by checking through things like the commissions etc. it is very important for a new person to go through all the tiniest and silliest details again and again in the beginning. Check and double check that you have gone through all the basic steps correctly. Many times it has happened that it looks so simple (and it is ) that you rush through it, and find that down the line you have spent three weeks promoting a product without your hoplink on it at all.
Another important item to check for is breaks in the links, or leaks. When I first started I never knew to check and two weeks later I did check and one third of my links never went through. Naturally I deleted those products, and it is their loss, not mine.
Promoting the product.
Now the heading of this article is Struggling With Clickbank, and in truth what most people really mean is – struggling with the marketing. This is the real part that feels like a solid wall to the beginner. If your brain starts to spin with all the millions of facts that are at your fingertips, stop.
I really mean stop, have a break, and come back to your plan. Always stick to your plan.
To end off, if promoting the product or planning the next step in your plan is where you are really stuck, don’t panic. It is really very easy. But you will have to get a mentor. Or get more training. Or visit one of my other articles. Get more training.
Oh yes, just in case I didn’t mention it, get a plan and stick to it.
