ClickBank is one of the largest sources of digital products, and some 10,000 merchants use ClickBank to sell their products.

From the merchants’ point of view, ClickBank makes it easy for them to sell. They don’t need to process credit cards themselves, and they don’t need to set up an affiliate scheme. ClickBank does both of these jobs for the merchant.

Affiliate marketers, too, like ClickBank a lot. With a free ClickBank account you can immediately start promoting any products sold through ClickBank, using a special ClickBank “hoplink” for each product. With most merchants rewarding you with at least 50% commission per sale, you’ll soon start making serious big bucks.

Is it really that easy? No, of course not! Many people make very little money from ClickBank products – even assuming that they at least try (which many don’t!). So many people simply promote ClickBank products incorrectly.

Promotion techniques such as putting banner ads on a website or adding affiliate links to either email and forum posting signatures, are not enough to convince people to buy anything through your ClickBank affiliate link.

But there is a better way, and it’s a technique which I’ve been using for a while. You’ll need to devote some time to it, but your time should be well rewarded.

Writing Review Pages

Product review pages are simply web pages which express opinions about a product. For this technique to work, your review should “pre-sell” the product – to get people to want the product before they visit the merchant’s sales page though your link.

The reason why this technique is so successful is that more and more people, before they buy something online, look for reviews of the product. If you type “review” + a product name into Google, you’re likely to find examples of product reviews.

Mind you, even people who use this technique often do it the wrong way. They make some very basic mistakes.

How To Improve Your Review Pages:

1) Don’t fill your review with nothing but good points about the product. Find a few unimportant things that you don’t like. These, of course, should more than countered by the good things!

2) Your purpose isn’t to sell the product. That’s the job of the merchant’s sales page. Remember, you are aiming to send people to the sales page through your link, almost convinced that they want the product.

3) Don’t copy any of the wording used on the sales page. As soon as the visitor goes to the sales page and recognises some of the words which were on review page, your credibility goes out of the window!

4) Ideally, you should already have used the product before you write the review. Ask the merchant for a complimentary copy of the product saying that it’s for a review. Many merchants will be happy to do that.

5) If possible, find other similar products and compare them with the product you really want to sell. You could even give a star rating to each one – making sure, of course, that your main product gets the most stars!

If you follow this plan, you should be able to make a lot more money by promoting ClickBank products. And if you use the tools in my ClickBank ToolKit, your work load will be lightened!
