Making money as an affiliate would have to be for me one of the more satisfying careers choices I have made. However what stands out regarding this career choice is the fact that anyone can join for free and build their pathway to success.
Affiliate marketing, however, has been branded as being an efficient and straightforward method of conveying long-term monetary gains. You can even start with nothing more than a free Clickbank website using platforms such as Hubpages, Squidoo or even Blogger.
Or for those that have a small budget and are aware of how to choose a great ClickBank trading name as your domain name and secure some hosting through a company such as Hostgator then you are set to go.
A big plus to being a Clickbank affiliate marketer is that you get to work from home which gives you the benefits of enjoying both the freedom and flexibility of working for yourself.

Clickbank is a perfect place to begin your affiliate marketing efforts as it’s among the biggest affiliate marketing organisations online today in which products are ranked according to their popularity and gravity.

To access all the vendor’s products or services, you just need to visit the Clickbank Marketplace or sign up at their actual website which should be free of charge (if it does not don’t join) where you will then be given a Clickbank hoplink so you can start promoting and make commissions. Most importantly you will need to use a site that is tightly themed if you are serious about making an online income with Clickbank.
This will provide your potential customers detailed information about your product or the services, and preferably, have a customer support or FAQ section so that you can help the Clickbank product and give it credibility.
The best thing about Clickbank digitally delivered products is that it’s not your product, you don’t have to provide customer service for that product you just except commissions for promoting it.

Start your ClickBank journey now!
One of the many secrets to becoming successful is to be able to create good quality and relevant content for your website articles so you can embed an affiliate link in the text of all your content and throughout your site.
The primary purpose here is to give your visitors good quality content about the information they were looking for and the more relevant the content and the theme of the site the more credibility you will have in the eyes of the visitor.
The course of selling products as an affiliate on Clickbank has to be performed by the sales letter you are presenting to them on their arrival remember first impressions online is everything, and that can be the fine line between success or failure.
One might think that I am only saying don’t promote multiple affiliate programs at the same time. Actually what I am saying here is to promote as many as you can, but make sure you finish off each site correctly before you start the next – just select those affiliate programs which match well with the theme and content of your website or blog and stay focused on that until completed.
Then, it is advisable that you automate that entire procedure this is why I use my own hosted blogs which is a WordPress blog, providing you more time for other ventures because being able to automate everything is another key factor to becoming a successful affiliate.
It’s not difficult to be a Clickbank Super Affiliate, as long as you don’t give up, as long as your affiliate network is growing so are your commissions. Remember you are an affiliate marketer and it’s not going to be easy, you have persistence, patience and the knowledge to use these traits to your advantage which will keep you going no matter how tough the project is.
One thing that many affiliates fail to do is review the statistics, this is essential, as it will aid you in finding out what is working and what is not. You can then make corrections when needed and whenever necessary but do your changes one at a time and be patient when it comes to affiliate marketing.
Nothing happens fast unless you’re into the black-hat Clickbank game which can be fast but not a permanent avenue to follow if you want to be on of the elite list of affiliates.

Hi Danny
Yes you can promote clickbank products using Google Adwords… I am not up with the latest rules regarding this so you will need to read the TOS for this.
I gave up on adwords many months ago as I only use the free search engine placings to rank my sites. I am releasing a free report on how I actually do this at the end of October 2009 in the form of a post so make sure you come back to check it out.
