First Clickbank sale. How I did it?

May 12th, 2008 | Author: Fhw

I found this interesting post, how one guy made his first Clickbank sale, and how he did it, while surfing through one of my favorite forum. Hope it will help for you. I am quoting here the entire post as it is:

Just logged into Clickbank to find I made my first ever sale (as an affiliate). Was really happy considering I only spent about 3 or 4 days promoting my product.

Product cost: $67
How much I made: $30.49

What I did:

* create a squidoo lens
* create a wordpress.com blog
* create a blogspot blog
* create an informational video to upload to YouTube, Dailymotion, Revver, and LiveVideo
* post a question on Yahoo answers and answer it with another account, and make it the best answer
* submit my squidoo lens and a blog post on wordpress.com blog to Digg and Propeller
* sutmbled all my sites

Didn’t really take much time. Just posted 1-2 articles on wordpress.com blog and blogspot blog. Just a few minutes work. I just read up articles on other websites and put it into my own words.

With the video, I just made a quick video entitled:
“10 tips on how to _________”

You could probably do something similar for your video. Another idea I had in mind, but haven’t done yet, is to create a promotional video for the eBook and a review video.

With the blogs, I submitted them to RSS feed aggregator sites. And for the other sites, they just slowly started climbing up the google search results for long tail keywords by themselves.

How I linked to the clickbank sales page:

Well, the domain of the site was DomainOfProduct.com, so I just registered Domain-Of-Product.com

On Domain-Of-Product.com (example), I put the following code into my index.html file:

html Code:

<html>
<title>Title of product</title>
<meta name=”product name” content=”true”><meta name=”robots” content=”noindex”>
</head>
<frameset border=0 rows=”100%,*” frameborder=”no” margintop=0 marginleft=0 marginright=0 marginbottom=0>
<frame SRC=”HOPLINK HERE” scrolling=auto frameborder=”no” border=0 noresize>
<frame topmargin=”0″ marginwidth=0 scrolling=no marginheight=0 frameborder=”no” border=0 noresize>
<body>
</body>
</frameset>
</html>

And yeah, basically, I just linked to the domain through all the sites I made. Not only that, but I also linked my sites with each other.

Conclusion:

So yeah, after all that work, I just took a rest and waited a few days to find I made my first sale. From here on I’m just going to keep repeating the process with as many products as I can.

Just made this post to give some people hope. I’ve been spending alot of time reading threads in this forum, and on the clickbanksuccessforum, and bum marketing eBooks, and it’s helped alot. I’m liking this alot better than making money with adsense, this is alot more fun.
