How ClickBank Affiliate Marketing Works ?

Clickbank is the world’s largest digital provider of products. What this means is that they only provide digital products for sale and have affiliates that promote these products.


However, let us take a step back and look at what an affiliate is and what anaffiliate does. An affiliate is someone who helps to sell products
provided by merchants. The affiliate does the marketing for them and helps the merchant obtain sales through you, as the affiliate. The merchant then pays you a commission based upon your sales. In the example below, it will show you the basic flow of how affiliate marketing works.

1. Research your keywords and associate them to an offer
2. Find your customers and create your campaigns
3. Target your offer with the 8 essential affiliate tools
4. Identify the "buy button" that will motivate sales action
5. Manage the process all the way through the sale

Knowing these steps will assist anyone in making money on the internet, including Clickbank. Clickbank has some great advantages. One of them is that there are no products to handle. Therefore, from your standpoint as an affiliate marketer, you do not have to have any physical products, and it makes it very, very easy. You do not need a shopping cart because Clickbank handles that for you. They handle all the payments. Clickbank also tracks all of your sales. They give you a very good history on everything that you have sold, to whom you sold to and what products you sold. You can actually put tracking numbers on it so you can track them back to the actual ads that were clicked on to make the sale. They also have very good pay per sale. It is higher than most products. Because they are digital, there is not a whole lot of overhead, so there is a higher percentage per sale.

Now, the disadvantage to using Clickbank is that since it is very easy to use and to get started, it is extremely competitive. There are many people selling and promoting Clickbank products. We do not say that to scare people off, we just want you to know what you are going to get into, and the idea is to look for niches where you can take advantage of Clickbank’s opportunities with Affiliate Marketing.
