How to Make Your First ClickBank Sale

If you're an Internet Marketer or simply one of those "entrepreneurs" who sell/promote other people's products online for a living, then you're probably familiar to the name "ClickBank".

If not, then you've been living under *the* rock for ages!

Anyway, to give you a quick *glimpse* of what the heck ClickBank really is, ClickBank is the no.1 Affiliate network for Internet Marketers like you and such as myself, as well.

What makes ClickBank the best Niche Program for people like me (and you) and is that, the products are targeted and not to mention, high in demand *pure profits*. From paid survey sites to different other products too.

So to get you started, here are a few keywords you might wanna first.

Affiliates, affiliates, affiliates...

Once you've been qualified to promote a certain product, you are now an Affiliate.

Once you've made a sale on a certain product you're promoting, you earn 25%-75% of the Product's selling price, depending on the Earnings Agreement.

For example, you made a sale on an Ebook worth $159 USD.

Since both of you and your vendor agreed that you will get paid 75% of the product's price, you will now earn 75% of $159 USD! Cha-Ching! As easy as that;-)

And the 75% of $159 USD you will earn is actually what we call "Commission". As an affiliate, you're earning more money than the vendor is!:-) *woot!* *woot!*

(Facts you might wanna know about ClickBank Commissions: At ClickBank, your earnings go to your account and at each and every end of the month, you'll receive your payment via Cheque)

Now here are the step-by-step procedure on how to make your first ClickBank sale..

(Disclaimer: This steps do not guarantee your success on earning your first sale. It is your determination and patience that will help you earn it yourself)

1. First Step.

• Sign up for a ClickBank account.

- Of course, you can not make money in ClickBank if you don't have a ClickBank ID. In Basketball, it's like saying "You can't score in basketball if you're not even holding the ball!"

Signing up for a account in ClickBank is easy *and not to mention FREE*. So you can literally start making money in just a few clicks away!

2. Second Step.

After signing up and doing all the activation in your account, the second thing you need to do is to find the product you WANT to promote.

TIPS FOR BEGINNERS: Since, obviously, this is your first time to make a ClickBank sale, I suggest that you start with a product with a low price but suits you, your budget and your target audience and as well as their budget too;-).

3. Third Step.

• Targeting Your Audience

Once you've picked the product that you wish to promote, it's now time to target your audience.

For example, you've chosen "How to Teach Your Dog how to Behave Well When Your Dog is Not Behaving Well"... wow.

The first thing you want to ask your self is that:

"To whom will I sell this product?", "Will my viewers be interested in buying this product?", "Will they be able to afford this?".

Well, if you ask me whether I would buy that product or not, then I'll say "No".

The first reason is because the title turned me off and another is that because I'm not interested.

The heck will I care about Doggy Guru stuffs?:)

(Seriously though, I don't hate dogs)

If you would notice, I'm not interested in these kinds of stuffs.

I'm interested in making money online. (Notice something;-))

So you DO REALLY have to target your audience. Besides that, give em' the best-quality product they can afford.:-)

P.S. And if ever you *would* promote those Doggy eBooks, I'd suggest that your target audience would be MALE dog owners (who are also Internet Marketers) aging from 21-40. You WILL thank me later.

Women would care less about buying eBooks online when they can read the magazines all day long;-)

4. Step 4: Promoting Your Product

There are a truck load of ways on how to promote your product. But to save time, here are the top most HIGHLY-RECOMMENDED ways.

1. Paid Ads
2. Free Ads
3. Forum Posting
4. Social Networks - You know.. Tweet? Tweet? And Facebook.
5. Forum Signatures
6. Chat
7. Email Lists -> Email Blasts (You can use Mail Chimp for FREE and store up to 500 emails!)
8. Personal Contacts
9. Family and Friends
10. Blog
11. Own Website
12. Traffic Exchange
13. Link Exchange with other bloggers and internet marketers

So that's just about it. Hopefully, now, you will able to earn your first ClickBank sale.;-)

You can also apply this to many other Affiliate networks and Niche sites.

Good day and Happy earnings.
