Clickbank - A Beginners Guide to Clickbank. How It Works and How to get Ahead
Let me talk to you about Clickbank. Clickbank is one of the top affiliate networks available with thousands of products covering a wide variety of niches from weight loss to debt improvement.
Clickbank is used by thousands of online merchants and over 100,000 affiliates. Payments are processed by clickbank which in turn issues checks to both Content Purity and the affiliate. This is the largest digital internet marketplace, where thousands of the most popular products on the web are sold every day. Every product sold through the clickbank gateway has their own referral programs and provides commissions up to 80% of each sale generated.
Hundreds of thousands of affiliates sell products through clickbank for a huge amount of merchants. The payment process is simple; Clickbank acts as the intermediary issuing checks to both merchant and affiliate. It is one of the largest and best known intermediaries in the business.
As an affiliate, Clickbank is one of the best tools you can use. It is the easiest to use and biggest, with the widest range of products to sell. In order to harness the network and all it has to offer you must have a good knowledge of how to internet market.
The first company to sell digital products worldwide and at such a large volume, Clickbank delivers a safe, fraud resistant marketplace for e-commerce which in turn, offers you everything you need to find wealth in a short space of time.
Clickbank tracks all of your sales, sends you checks twice monthly, and has been known to be cost-efficient and a useful tool for finding out long term results and figures. Paying you commissions from 5% right up to 75%, it would be crazy not to spend more of your time focusing on the higher commissions. Clickbank really begins to make you money when you choose a product that has a very high conversion rate and send as much traffic through to your link as humanly possible, with the high traffic and a quality conversion money begins piling up very quickly. An average sales rate could be around 3% of visitors however, i have sold products before with rates at around 24% i.e. for every 100 people you direct to your page, you will have 14 sales.
The best route for a fresh faced affiliate marketer would be SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). You will not break the bank using SEO to acquire organic traffic but it does require time and some research. Adwords can be used to acquire traffic and sales the day you use it however that is a different subject all together!!!This article really is aimed at fresh faced internet marketers without the necessary experience and who are interested in finding out a bit more on the world of click bank. The best advice I could give would be to visit the page, have a look round and use some of the tutorials and FAQ’s.

YourNetBiz - Video Marketing
Video Marketing – The benefits
• Doubling Up: Articles are a great medium for generating traffic, so imagine if you use the content in a video? You effectively have twice the exposure. The obvious statement here is that twice the exposure means twice the traffic.
• Great Link backs: Using massive sites such as Facebook or Youtube means you will have links back to your website and the potential for driven traffic straight to the site.
• Low Cost: This is an easy to upload, and cheap way of effectively gaining trust and having the ability to relate to prospects on a higher level.
• Google Searches: The link will show up on google searches with a thumbnail video picture and link, looking professional and enticing to click on.
Ok so how easy is it to upload a video to the net? Lets use YouTube as an example.
1) Register your details with Youtube, make sure you choose a username that is relevant to your business and niche.
2) Click on the “Upload Video” button and choose the video you wish to upload.
3) Decide on a title for the video. This is important as it is what will come up when people search for videos.
4) Write a complex description making sure to link keywords from the title into the description. Make sure you tell the viewer about you, your business and what you have to offer. The most important aspect to this description is to include your website address so they can click back and view your page.
5) The tags you wish to write are keywords to link to your video so people find it easier. My advice on what tags to include would be to link one to your title, to the key word you are focusing on in your description, use your name, and any competitors selling similar products so you appear as another option when someone is viewing their video.
6) Select a category and then make sure you share with the world!
So it really is this easy! In this day and age video is a vital form of advertising and lead generation. It is becoming more and more essential to relate to people on a personal level and what better way to do that then as near face to face as you can get.

YourNetBiz - Blogging, the Art of Sharing
Question. “Should every business website have a blog?” Answer. “Yes.” Blogging has become a vital tool in online business over the last 3-4 years, especially with the emergence of Video Blogging.
Below are some of the reasons why every business should have an up to date blog.
To Generate Traffic - The common conception by most people is that if you have a business website, you will automatically generate much needed traffic however in 99% of the cases, this is not true. Along with the patience and time element, Traffic needs good quality content specified towards your product/page so what better than to get your content out there by way of a blog.
Search Engine Optimisation – It is a fact that traffic flows to blogs much easier than to your business website. If you transfer your website from a CSS format to (self hosted) Wordpress, your sites will gain more traffic. Essentially, Wordpress is a platform that allows you to have the benefits of a website and blog all together in the same entity.
Keep customers up to speed - A blog allows customers to have up to date knowledge about your products, business and yourself. This is important as it does not mean they must speak to you on the phone or trawl through your website all the time to find out what’s going on.
Build Contacts. The more contacts you have the more free advertising you will generate. The blogging world is fiercely loyal and if you keep up with the good content you will soon have a loyal army of followers who will pass your product on to whoever they know. There is nothing stronger than word of mouth.
Reviews. If you can keep within the niche but not in direct competition, writing trade reviews for other business’ and having them written for you is not only good advertising but dominating a market. Remember to stay out of direct competitors though.
From what I have written so far you will establish that a blog is a great source for generating traffic, achieving sales within your niche market, building niche lists and getting your brand out there into the world. I would be lost without one!!

Work From Home-Why Should you Quit the corporate world
In the tough times over the past 18 months economically and the tough times to come over the next 24 months one thing has become crystal clear..... Working for yourself is the key. The only way you can guarantee an income and job safety is if the only person you report into is infact, yourself. Below are the main reasons why this jump off the corporate ladder should be made.
Bad Company Ethics
If the ethics of your company do not match your own it can cause worry, stress and can reduce your sense of well being. How many people work for their company not because they believe in what they are selling, or believe in how they are selling them but because they need that pay cheque to survive? Imagine a world where you sold to who you want, exactly how you wanted to and you truly believed and handpicked the products you were selling. If this interests you, working from home is definitely for you.
Stress
I do not think you will find anyone on this planet who’s body is not affected physically or emotionally by stress. Some people fall into a depressed state, others can be physically sick, others argue with partners, there are even some people who develop long standing mental health issues. If, like 89% of us, you have suffered from stress you must ask yourself the question “is it all worth it, what can i be doing to reduce this?”.
The Excitement Is Gone...It’s Just Plain Old Boring
It is a fact of nature that as human beings we need stimulation. How long does it take before we get bored of doing the same old thing day in day out? Well on average, the human being lasts 5 years before they get the itch to move on to doing something else. Unfortunately your boss does not see it that way and for many, many people, we are pigeon holed for life. Working from home will provide more variety and the luxury of being able to stop what you are doing and walk the dog, take the kids to the park and pick up what you were doing when it suits you.
Having To Work With Difficult people
We have all been there at some point, working alongside someone you do not like, or whom annoys the hell out of you each time he/she opens their mouth. It is true that it is part of life to deal with people whom you may not see eye to eye with but life is all about choice, so the ability to pick who you deal with on a daily basis is a great reason to get out of that office and spend your time concentrating without distraction at building a profitable home business.
Getting Rid Of That Boss
The most important point and the main reason to quit that corporate lifestyle forever is this; Wouldn’t it be great to walk into that office and tell your boss what to do? Well unfortunately that is not going to happen for most of us, however, why not go one better and sack him!!! Leaving your boss and his/her orders is the greatest feeling in the world. Working from home will give you the freedom of doing what you want, when you want, how you want. You do not have to report into anyone but yourself. A point to make here is that you must motivate yourself but who wouldn’t with the sun shining in their back garden, the laptop open, receiving emails notifying them of deposits into their bank accounts?

My internet Business- Dont be a "My Internet Business" Orphan
But unfortunately many of its members ARE failing.So you’re probably wondering why? Is this business a Scam after all?
Don’t worry you’ll be pleased to know it isn’t:)
The MyInternetBusiness suite that you will gain access to when joining MIB is ram packed full of training, tutorials, and conference calls, but for the newbie internet marketer this can seem overwhelming.A case of members not being able “to see the wood for the trees”
Which is why it is so very important to ensure that you find yourself a mentor who you know is going to be there for you when it comes to answering your questions.
You need to find a MyInternetBusiness Mentor who:
will Guide you in setting up your MyInternetBusiness effectively in your beginning weeks
will Point you in the right direction of the most effective marketing techniques to be focusing on initially.
will lay out a “Plan of attack” for your marketing campaign for you. Tailored to your needs and strengths
will Be there to answer your questions when you need them most, (not 3days later:)
won’t try to continually palm you off to their PBA to answer your questions.
I know you’re probably thinking well its all very easy for you to say Rich, but how am I going to know if they’re telling the truth?Everyone says they’ll give mentoring and support.
Well yes you’re right generally everone does, but as with anything, not all are what they make out to be.So its important that you REALLY do your due diligence and most importantly you follow your gut instinct.
If you feel like your emotions are being played on by fast cars, counting cash and holidays, then step back and re-evaluate things. Just because someone is saying ..“I take holidays everymonth, with a 6 bedroomed house and 2 sports cars in the garage”..does not mean they will help you achieve that lifestyle too.
Be cautious, after all it is your hard-earned cash that you’re investing and you need to be sure you invest it with the right person who in return will invest their time in you.
So what could happen if you don’t follow these guidelines?
You could end up becoming and Orphan.and I don’t mean singing about the sun coming out tomorrow:)
So what is an orphan?
These are members who have signed up to their Sponsor who were promised top 1-on1 mentoring, constant hand holding and guidance.They were promised the world and given an Atlas.
Over the course of a few weeks it suddenly becomes apparent that their sponsor isn’t actually really living up to their initial claims. and you can imagine just how worrying that can be.Their emails get ignored or answered within 3 sentences and you’d be very lucky to actually get a phone conversation out of them.Imagine the effect that this could have on your morale as a newbie in this business- very disheartening i’m sure you’ll agree. So what ultimately happens to these orphans?
I’ll be frank with you, most will give up, due to their negative experience they will lose faith and start to wonder if it was ever possible to make money in this business.
However those that are smart enough and have the determination to be successful and make it happen for themselves will realise that there IS huge potential and will set about finding a way around this temporary Blip in their journey.
So then they really start doing to their research a try to find someone who will give them the support that they need.
I get phonecalls and emails every week from orphans in this situation and there are 2 reasons why this frustrates meNot because they are taking up my time with their phonecalls-not what so ever, but because I don’t like to see that people have been put in this situation in the first place. I wish for them that they had just put in that extra bit of research at the start before investing their money.
Those that I speak to are usually very passionate about the business, have huge potential, know that it won’t happen over night but just need guidance.I have taken 3 new orphans under my wing since Dec and here is what just one of them had to say when they contacted me via email
“My Sponsor ***** has done absolutely nothing to help me in anyway shape or form. I am in that 80% that could fail but I am aperson that plans to win. I have the confidence and the will powerto succeed but I have to say he has let me down big style.Yes I did call him before I signed up and he was all over melike a rash but before the money had the chance to gain anyinterest in his bank account I was just another person.”
I DO NOT WANT THIS TO BE YOU.
Please do not misinterpret my message here, there are many FANTASTIC mentors within MyInternetBusiness so do not think that these few are the norm, but obviously I only ever get phonecalls about the bad:)
If you have already decided that MyInternetBusiness.com is the opportunity for you, then that is fantastic!But please before you jump on board be sure that you research your sponsor and get in touch with them.
Happy hunting guys:)
