Now you need to make a website or landing page for your products that you chose. This will have information or reviews about your clickbank products using your unique affiliate links. This will ultimately direct the visitor to the actual cb product where they will be able to purchase the product.
For this tutorial, you will learn to Make a landing page – simple, usually one page website that will presell your CB products. It’s the first page people see when they find your website. They are quick and simple to make. But one of the most effective methods to make extra money at home with click bank affiliate program.
Here’s some examples of what your clickbank landing page could look like below, all of them are for CB products:

- http://hubpages.com/hub/MaverickMoneyMakers-Review
- http://www.myearth4energyreview.com/
- http://www.fatloss4idiotstruth.info/
I wouldn’t ever copy another website or especially the content. Search engines especially Google, doesn’t like duplicate content. Original content that you wrote is always best and plus, usually all the sites will have copyright protection. If you want to see other examples or similar sites for your click bank product then just type it in google and add reviews at the end. example: maverick money makers reviews
Tips on making your website:
As you saw there’s basically two popular ways to make your landing page that work well.
- One product review – You do a review or informational site on just one product.
- Multiple product review – Usually best with 3 different items but all in the same niche. Example: niche – make solar panels, then make a landin page with 3 different Click bank choices that teach how to make solar panels. Rate each product as best to worse like some of the example’s listed for you above.
- Your CB product should have affiliates resources for you to use like banners, links graphics and etc… it will usually look something like this found at the end of the description found in the marketplace: “www.yourCBproduct.com/affiliatesignup.html”
How to make a Effective landing page for your clickbank products:
Now there’s a few ways of doing this for free or with a little money. The thing about using these FREE Website Platforms below is that they own your site so you won’t have the same freedom as to having your own website. Meaning, you are using their hosting and they control your sites. I don’t mean they will go in and change your actual website but they can ban or close it if they don’t think it’s appropriate.
They control what is and isn’t allowed. For instance, like squidoo doesn’t allow many of the clickbank products and they will close your site or ban you from their service. Example of a banned site: http://www.squidoo.com/maverick-money-makers Squidoo and Hubpages are the most strict. The others listed below are more lenient. It’s so much easier to appear on the front pages of Google in the search engine results pages (serps) if you have your own domain and host anyways.
How to pick out Keywords
You need to spend some time picking your key-words or phrases, they will make you or break you. Go here to learn more about Keywords (exact words people enter in search engine) are very important and you will need to find and use the right ones. If you don’t, you’ll never make it on the front page of Google organically or without paying money. Only choose keywords with less than “75,000″ results with quotes around your key words. The lower the number the better until you are more experienced.
Put quotes around the keyword or phrase like this “your key-words” into google search engine. This will allow you to see your competition for those exact words. Take the Quotes off and redo it. A lot more results come up, right. Without them, you will get results for every site with similar words.
After you found a few good keywords or phrases (Make sure you use the best words in the title’s) now you will need to scatter these words you chose throughout your LP or site. A good ratio is 6% key words to regular words in your content. Also, put your main words in the beginning of your first paragraph.
How to Pick a Good Domain Name
Picking out a Good Domain name once you choose a website platform for your landing page. If you had looked at the example’s I showed you above then you probably noticed that all their domain names had the “Click bank product name” somewhere in it.
Example: “www.your-cb-product-reviews.com” If you put the name of your CB product in your domain then it will be easier to get on the first page of Google, so think about a good name before you make your final decision. Another alternative is to pick a name that will go with your niche or market.
Make a FREE website or blog below
I have listed the best places to make a Free website or blog. In order from the most powerful to the least. You gotta remember to pick a good domain name but if you are serious about making money on the internet then you should get your own hosting and domain.
For Serious Entrepreneurs and Internet Marketers Only!
Now if you are actually SERIOUS about Making Extra Money at Home and are looking to do this potentially as a Full Time Job or want to make the Most Sales Possible from Affiliate Programs like Clickbank then you need to have your own Domain Name and Hosting.
You will have 100% Full Control over your websites or home business. You don’t have to worry about being banned or what you write about. It’s not nearly as complicated as you may think.
You don’t have to be a Webmaster or know a lick of html. When I got my first hosting and my very own website, I didn’t know squat about html or making a website. With hostgator, it has been very easy to make websites and blogs with little or no html or website knowledge. Also, the older your domain is the more valuable it will be in the future. Earlier you start the faster you can become successful with a Legit Internet Business and you’ll be able to make extra money at home sooner than you thought.
It is also one step closer to becoming a successful internet marketer, to be successful in this field you gotta be All In 100% or it’s going to be a frustrating journey for you. You will eventually need to get your own hosting and domain so you can start branding yourself and company anyways. This will allow you to make multiple websites, landpages or even be able to start a blog, like this one.
I suggest you use Hostgator for your hosting. I have Two Host accounts with them and have been using them for a few years now. I love their customer support, reliability and all the extra features/tools you get. Checkout there Season Special Promotion right now Hostgator Season Special

How to Make Money with Clickbank Affiliate Program (Part 1 of 2)
I have made money online in many ways and by using many different affiliate programs. If you are interested in the fastest and easiest way to make money online then this post is for you. Make money with clickbank affiliate program because I’ve made a lot of money with them, some of my easiest sales have come from them and Clickbank or CB is one of the first affiliate programs I and every other internet marketer started off with.
A little history on “Clickbank“. They were founded in 1998 which is a Huge feat in itself for surviving the dotcom crash a year or two later. They are the #1 site for online digital products or “ebooks”. Their website is one of top websites on the net for the most traffic and visitors daily.
What does Affiliate Mean? Simply means someone who markets other people’s/companies products, services or etc… and gets paid a percentage for their successful efforts.
Why use CB?………almost every country and anyone can join them within a few minutes, ebooks are the easiest to sale and the most demanding product on the internet. Information is the #1 reason why people use the internet. You get paid at least 50% – 75% per sale. I don’t know how much you know about business but that’s almost unheard of for a offline or online business. PROOF you’ll make money and get paid. They have paid out well over 1 Billion Dollars to their clients. A sale is made every 3 seconds and over 26,000 purchases a day.
You can choose how and when you want to be paid. Choose to get paid weekly, direct deposit by check or whatever you choose. There is over 12,000 products to choose from. Lastly you don’t have to worry about getting paid because they act as a third party for handling the transactions for all the products in the clickbank marketplace. You don’t have to rely on the actual owner of the websites to pay you.
Direct linking to the sales pages or CB products is allowed. This means you don’t even need a website but having one will increase your sales ten fold. There is really no other GOOD program online that allows direct linking.
Make sure you read their policies and tos when you join there are a few rules you’ll need to be familiar with. Main one people miss is the part for new CB affiliates before you get paid. Before you get your first check you gotta reach the requirements below
ClickBank will withhold payment of any account balance until the following criteria is met:
- Sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers; and,
- Sales made with two different payment methods (either Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal). Note: PayPal purchases do not count toward the minimum 5 different credit card numbers.
Don’t worry you’ll reach there criteria easier and faster than you think if you follow what I say and are serious about making money on the internet with Click Bank’s affiliate program.
You can choose to be an affiliate – selling other people’s products. There’s over 12,000 products to choose from so finding something for your niche or interest will be a cinch.
LEARN About becoming a Clickbank Vendor Here – meaning you can create your own digital product and have it included in the CB marketplace. You can make a TON of money quickly making your own product. You should check it out maybe it’ll be something you will be interested in doing in the near future. It’s not nearly unreachable as it may sound.
This will allow people to purchase your own products and also allows the CB affiliates (over 100,000) to sell it for you as well. I have seen a few almost newbies in internet marketing become millionaires from creating one GREAT product within a year or two of being in the internet marketing game.
Start your Journey to Make Money on the Internet with Click Bank
1. Join Clickbank Affiliate program first off if you haven’t joined already click the “Promote Products” Make sure you put some time into thinking of your affiliate ID or username because this will be what shows up in the url for your affiliate link. Choose something professional looking and blend in. People will be able to see your unique affiliate link or ID in the bottom left of their monitor and also will see it at the bottom of the salespage.
Don’t use your real name or something bogus or you will get less sales. A good username would be “secure1″ …… A bad username example would be “clown1″. Another good way to choose a user name is pick something that would make sense for your niche or market.
This is what your affiliate CB link will look like “http://Affiliate.vendor.hop.clickbank.net”
You see the red affiliate part that’s where your username or id will be seen and the vendor part will be for the product you choose. Now you probably understand why it’s important to pick a good nickname/username.
2. Checkout their “marketplace” to look at all the different products you can choose to sell on the internet. Okay now it’s time to get familiar with clickbank before you start to make money with their affiliate program. Once you are in the marketplace You need to think of a “niche” or category….electronics, health & fitness, green energy or etc…. that you want to start promoting or making money from. As a newbie I suggest you pick out a niche or category that you are into or know a lot about. After you choose a category now start looking at the products and you’ll notice a gray strip below each product that looks like this below:
[$/sale: $30.01 | Future $: - | Total $/sale: $30.01 | %/sale: 75.0% | %refd: 70.0% | grav: 250.01]
- 1st section means amount you make as an affiliate per sale
- 2nd I believe means the amount you’ll get paid for a recurring product….don’t pay attention to this right now most are all blank anyways
- 3rd again is total amount per sale you’ll make
- 4th means % amount of the product you’ll make per sale so like this example above you will make 75% percent
- 5th means % amount of sales made by other internet marketers not the owner
- 6th gravity means how many other click bank affiliates are selling that same product.
Now remember if you see high gravity that probably means it’s a HOT product and sales really well but this also means this is a very competitive product as well. I suggest doing this. Pick out just one or two products for now, your choice High gravity, low gravity or choose one in between. Anything below 40 for grav: is low and anything above that number is high.
Now before settling on this product you need to look at the sales page, thoroughly. Ask yourself these questions….. Does it look like a good salespage? Would you purchase this product if you saw this sales page? One note: you need to look at everything thru the eyes of the consumer not necessarily by what you think is good or like, just keep that in mind. I almost forgot choose something that pays good money. At least 25$ a sale I don’t really waste my time with low paying items.
Many gurus online tell clickbank newbies to start off with low gravity products but many of them are really crappy or hard to sell. The way I choose my products is by finding popular products for the moment. Example maybe a brand new product, what are people looking for “right now” like going green products etc…. or products I see or hear that are doing well.
I’ll give you some resources and forums on my next post about good places for CB affiliates to talk about things like that. Make sure you get familiar with clickbank’s affiliate program, their tools and their entire website and on my next post I will continue with “Make Extra Money at Home with Clickbank Affiliate Program Part 2“. You’ll learn about how to make a landing page or website to send traffic to with your click bank affiliate hop links or url and you’ll be one step closer to Make Extra Money on the Computer. I will also give you plenty of resources to get you going and many good places I use myself to get traffic and links.
