Clickbank Super Affiliates Toolbox

Listen up: Clickbank is the hottest opportunity to make large amounts of affiliate sales, quickly and easily... if you know how to use it wisely.

HINT: As every mechanic can tell you, in order to be a good workman, one should have good tools. In order to be a Clickbank super affiliate, the very best affiliate one can be, it is important to have the proper supplies in ones virtual toolbox. Taking time to gather the best supplies can pay off in the end in big dividends, literally. A good merchant will do his or her best to supply their affiliates with the best tools possible and a good affiliate will do the best that they can to gather the best tools available.
A tool such as the clickbank calculator found at www.clickbankguide.com/calculator.htm will help you to immediately be able to ascertain exactly what your commission will be on a product. This is further enhanced by the table with the common prices which will help you to see exactly how this sort of thing works and be able to make your own table, using the prices and rates with which you will be dealing with.

An affiliate will want to have a good selection of templates.

This will enable you to make and send out advertising information without having to start at the very beginning each time.

A good merchandiser will supply his or her affiliates with the best tools available. Giving them the best tools will help them to do a better job for the merchandiser as well as for themselves. If an affiliate has a good supply of articles and information concerning the product, this will enable them to write their own articles and email letters and newsletters and to have the proper information right at their finger tips.

Another tool in the super affiliate's toolbox is a good group email tool. Being able to send out emails to large groups of people who have shown an interest in the product is advantageous and will save time. It is important not to misuse this sort of a tool so that what is sent out becomes spam, then nothing will be appreciated coming from that source and is apt to be immediately deleted without even being glanced at, thereby defeating ones purpose, but used properly, this can be a very good tool to have.

Another tool is a contact list of people who have been interested in becoming affiliates. Sometimes one finds that there are those who are anxious to enter into the cyber work field and might become the affiliate's competition. Instead, the affiliate might want to consider approaching them with the idea of their joining into his team so that as they are making money he is also. When this is done, it is important that teamwork be emphasized. Team members don't work against each other; they work together for mutual benefit.

TIP: A good supply of keywords is important also. You will want to attract people to your website that might possibly buy the product. Those people will be using certain keywords as they take advantage of search engines so it's important that in articles which you write, you will want to include a number of keywords which the potential customer might well be using.

Choosing an Affiliate Program

What should you consider when choosing an affiliate program? You need to think about two key things: what business are you in and what can the affiliate program provide to your customers.

No matter what business you are in, the largest investment you make will be customer acquisition. If you have your own product, and have acquired a base of satisfied customers, then single product affiliate programs could work very well for you.

However, if your business is acquiring customers for other businesses, that is, purely affiliate programs, then a better choice for you could be affiliate programs with multiple products or services. This will help you to capitalise on your investment in customer acquisition.

The key to choosing successfully is to ensure that the affiliate program offers products that meet the needs of your potential customers. Coupled with this is the need for the products to be high quality and for the supplier to provide excellent customer service. Remember, your credibility is on the line every time you refer someone to buy through your affiliate relationship.

Some of the other factors I consider when evaluating affiliate programs include:

• Is the affiliate program a reputable business? You can check out a business you are considering a relationship with in variety of ways. Talk to the Better Business Bureau in your local area or a similar body. In addition, I find web sites that monitor affiliate programs to be worth looking at. The best I have found is Associate Programs www.AssociatePrograms.com. Allan Gardyne pulls no punches and tells it as it is.
• Does the program enable you to share in the lifetime value of the customer? Great programs will give you commissions on all future purchases of the customers you introduce. This is where the real profits are. These types of programs, in effect, allow you to partner with the supplier.
• Does the program reward you for introducing other affiliates? This type of program is commonly referred to as a two-tier program. Often your customer may become an affiliate also and you will be rewarded for this.
• Is the supplier interested in your success as an affiliate? The top affiliate programs engage in a process of coaching or information sharing to help you succeed. Affiliates are provided with regular newsletters outlining what is working for successful affiliates and providing updates and details on new products.
• Is the commission reasonable? Commission rates on commodity products such as books and CDs are low. This is because there is very little margin in the products due to competition. Look for products that have a commission rate of 15% or more that are not commodities - that way you will be better able to recoup your customer acquisition investment.
• Are statistics provided? The higher the level of statistics provided, the better off you are. This will enable you to measure the success of your marketing efforts and to determine the best places to invest your marketing dollars. Insufficient statistics is a sign that the affiliate program is not sufficiently interested in your success.
• Are new products being developed regularly? To get the full value from lifetime commissions, new products need to be introduced on a regular basis. Without this, lifetime commissions can be worthless. Also, look for consistent high quality in new products introduced.
• How frequently are commissions paid? The more frequently commissions are paid, the better off you are. Good quality affiliate programs will pay you monthly. In some situations, commissions are not paid until a certain level is reached. If the program you are considering has this requirement, check how many sales need to be made before the level is reached.
• Have you read the affiliate agreement? This is a key area that you should look at. Some affiliate agreements are totally in favour of the supplier. Others are more balanced. Some agreements restrict your ability to promote similar products from other suppliers. Most agreements have anti-spam provisions. Look for agreements that are fair and that do not stack everything against you as the affiliate.

While there are other factors that can be considered when choosing an affiliate program, following the suggestions above will help you to make superior business choices that will lead to long-term success.

Affiliates - Your Free Way To Web Income

If you're looking for a way to earn your living from the internet then there is no better and easier way than this. What's great is there's no product to make and it's FREE. You get paid instead.

Let's first look at what it takes in order to make money the traditional way...

Because there's so much competition on the net you need to offer many products in order to earn a reasonable living. Do you want to spend a lot of time creating these? If you do then fine, but be prepared for a lot of hard work, research and a long wait for results.

Imagine instantly acquiring 10, 20, 50, 100, or even 1000s of desirable products. You simply put them up for sale and kaboom you're an instant success. Your income automatically comes to you without even sending a single product or sending a single invoice.

Or imagine this...

You get a job as a salesman but instead of being limited to one product that someone might or might not want. You have a product for everyone. You'll always have a customer. Every day!

Then imagine getting home from the pub or back from holiday. You switch on your computer and check to see how much your bank balance has increased.

HOW IT WORKS

You copy and paste an affiliate link and short recommendation into your website that you create. (Visit Tripod's website and you can have a website for free.) They all offer this written up for you. You just copy and paste.

Then advertise your site to get customers.

The best way to advertise your site is by writing short useful articles with a link back to your website. Then simply post the article to as many article sites as possible. They're all free.

Every time someone reads your article they'll most probably click the link in your resource box and visit your site.

Also in every email you send to anyone have your website link in that as well.

The easiest way to do this is by setting up a sig file in your email program. Look at the help to find out how to do this.

Then every time you send an email your website link will be included.

HOW YOU DO IT

There are 2 ways.

Method #1

You can search the internet looking at many different products for sale that offer an affiliate program. Believe me, this takes time. I've tried it.

Each time you find one, you sign up.

Every time someone clicks your link and buys from the site you earn a commission. Simple!


Method #2

You use a free service which is a web site that has lots of companies with a product offering an affiliate program.

There are many available.

Click the link at the bottom of this article for the one, in my opinion, is the best I've found. IT'S FREE.

To sign up you don't need to provide any credit card details, so it's completely safe. You will however need a Paypal account. You just tell them the Paypal email address to pay the funds.

If you don't like Paypal they have a few other options.

And, oh yes. It's free to join.

When you've joined simply click the marketplace tab and scan the products. Any item you wish to promote you simply click the promote button. You are then given your affiliate URL and all the sales patter you want. Or you can make up your own.

Simple! You've got nothing to lose. Sign up now (IT'S FREE) and you'll soon be agreeing with me that this is the simplest and most effective way of earning a living from the internet.

Affiliate Programs Explained

More people are discovering the power of affiliate marketing to supplement or even replace their existing income. But there are even more people who would like to have a slice of this exciting world but are unsure exactly what an affiliate program is or what it consists of.

When discussing an affiliate program, it helps to compare it to a traditional networking company where a network of salespeople and distributors are recruited to sell their products to all corners of the globe.

As an example, instead of a company selling directly to their customers it sells products through a series of distributors and salespeople. In turn, the members of this distribution and sales network enjoy a very good living by promoting the products made by others.

In essence, the affiliate programs found on the internet are distribution and sales efforts taken to the online world. The affiliate web site takes the place of the distributor and sales network, and the individual is paid by the seller of the product when a sale is made. Of course there are affiliate programs where physical products have to be shipped but there are also many other affiliate programs where only software or informational products have to be downloaded.

It is easy to understand why this arrangement is so popular, from the point of view of both the merchant and the owner of the web site. The merchant benefits from increased sales and at the same time, does not have to pay for additional advertising and he can expand his network without the need for additional and sometimes expensive advertising. The affiliate on the other hand may not have a product of his own to make money from and selling someone else's product for a share of the selling price gives him the opportunity to start his own business.

Of course, effort is required on the part of the affiliate to promote his website and the product he is trying to sell. There are many ways that an affiliate program can be promoted. An example would be if the affiliate already has a website and a link added directly to the merchant site. It costs nothing to set up and is very easy to do with a little cut and paste.

All good affiliate programs will have a back office with tools to use and it is always advisable to protect your affiliate links and therefore your commissions, by disguising your links so that they are not chopped off or used by anyone else. You can find a good program to use to prevent theft of your commission at www.1st-4-income.com/stopcommissiontheft.html.

Commissions paid by merchants vary. You can expect anything up to 70% or even more with some affiliate programs, but these will mainly be software downloads. If you go to Clickbank you will find thousands of such programs to promote. With these kinds of commissions, it is easy to see why the promotion of software type programs is such a great way to make money online. At the other end of the scale though some affiliate programs pay a pittance, as low as 1.5% in some cases and you will have to ask yourself if these will be worth the effort.

Affiliate programs are very popular on the internet. If you do not have your own product to sell and you want to have a shot at earning some money on the internet, then affiliate marketing is the way to go. Give a little time, effort and patience and you will be rewarded. So if you're not already familiar with the concept of affiliate marketing, why not check it out?
