Increase Your ClickBank Affiliate Income With Review Pages
ClickBank is a huge source of digital products. It distributes products on behalf of over 10,000 merchants.
Merchants like ClickBank! For a very small charge per sale, ClickBank operates affiliate schemes for merchants and handles their customers’ credit card transactions.
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.
There’s nothing to it, is there? Sorry, but yes there is! Unless you’re going to follow the example of most people trying to sell ClickBank products and making little or nothing for their efforts, you’ll need to avoid the common mistakes that they make.
It’s not enough to use such methods as banner ads or links in your forum postings and emails. That’s not enough to persuade people to purchase through your 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.
Building Product Review Pages
You need to write a review for any product you want to promote as an affiliate. The purpose of the review is to “pre-sell” the product. You need to get people in a favorable frame of mind so that when they visit the sales page through your affiliate link, they are much more inclined to buy.
An increasing number of people, before they buy something, do a little research to find reviews of that product. They’ll type something like “review + product name” into Google. You can see for yourself how many reviews there are for a product by doing just that.
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) Your review should not be full of glowing praise for the product. Instead, make a few minor criticisms of the product - which are, of course, outweighed by the benefits of the product.
2) Remember that you’re not aiming to “sell” the product. Leave that job to the merchant. What you should convince visitors to your review page is to really want that product. Then you want them to click through your affiliate link to go to the merchant’s sales page with their credit card in front of them!
3) Avoid using any of the “copy” on the merchant’s sales page. People will lose confidence in your review if they find that you’ve copied chunks of the sales page.
4) You’ll be a lot more convincing if you have actually used (and liked) the product. You’ll find that you can frequently get a copy of the product from the merchant without having to pay for it. Just tell the merchant that you want to write a review of it.
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!
So now it’s time for you to start to put this strategy into action and increase your profits from selling ClickBank products. The tools in my ClickBank ToolKit are designed to make this strategy much easier to use.
