An Alternative to Clickbank Products

If you’re looking for products to promote,  you’ll probably wind up at Clickbank at some point. The overwhelming majority of Internet Marketers are promoting, have promoted, or will promote Clickbank products. It’s for a good reason too. Clickbank products have very good commissions, although they vary from product to product. Also. there’s a wide variety of products to offer, and there’s so may products that there’s always some that are very hot.

The main drawback with Clickbank however, is that you’ll usually always have many, many affiliates competing for the business in whatever item that you’ve chosen to promote. If you can get your share of the traffic that might not be a problem, but unless you’re at the top of your game, you’ll probably get lost in the multitudes of Internet Marketers.

There’s another program that might be better for many.  It’s called Nitro Affiliates, and it has many attractive benefits. One of which, it isn’t Clickbank. As previously mentioned, if you’re getting some good traffic for your Clickbank offers, then by all means, stick with it. If you are looking for something else though, Nitro Affiliates is definitely worth taking a serious look at it.

Here are some of the benefits of Nitro Affiliates:

  • Residual Monthly Commissions
  • Generous Two-Tier Commissions
  • Lifetime Customers
  • Expert Coaching
  • Earning Up to 50% on Hot-Selling Products
  • The Best Affiliate Tracking in the Industry

They over 50 products that you can earn commissions on, so you should be able to find something that you’re actually interested in to promote. So, if you’re not making much with Clickbank or whatever else you’re promoting, I’d at least go over to Nitro Affiliates and have a look at what they’re offering. It just might be what you need to make a difference in your bottom line.

Oh, I was going to mention one other thing. The following is a quote from Seth Godin (think Squidoo, and also his fantastic books among everthing elese he does). Seth one of the most respected guys around, both on and off the Internet. He’s just one of those guys that you wish you wish you had just a fraction of what’s in his head. Anyway, here is the quote.

“Jay can convert virtually unknown businesses into phenomenally profitable enterprises — in record speed.”

– Seth Godin, best-selling author of Permission Marketing and IdeaVirus

In case you didn’t know, the previous quote was about Jay Conrad Levinson, the world’s expert on Guerilla Marketing.

Focus on Your Objective (Niche)

As I was just updating one of my several Squidoo Lenses, I was thinking what all I should be adding some content to, and I got lost trying to remember all I have going.

If you’re just getting started, I think the best advice that I could give someone is this. Don’t try to get too much going at one time. That was my biggest mistake.

Every thing I saw that looked potentially promising, I would try to get into. Well, at least if it didn’t cost anything, or at least too much.

If I was starting new today, I would find a niche that I was interested in, and ideally knowledgeable on, and start from there, staying focused on that one niche/campaign.

You can always get into as many areas as you want, there’s just no need to rush things. If you have shared hosting, there’s nearly no limit to how many sites that you can have going.

Quality is much, much more important than quantity, and my bottom line proves it. I’ve finally realized that I have much more going than I need, but I have stopped adding to my list, and I’m now trying to update sites that have been setting nearly unattended.

Get an idea and focus on it until you get a good, hopefully profitable campaign going before moving to the next.

In a nutshell, I would start a blog, even using Blogger.com for a free option, add (and link) a few Squidoo Lenses to that niche (blog) topic/niche, maybe even a Hubpage or 3, and write several quality EzineArticles with appropriate links to the money site.

ClickBank has many good products to promote, but don’t limit yourself either. There’s usually many, many, many marketers promoting the top CB performers, so sign up with several affiliate networks also. There’s several affiliate networks listed in the sidebar on this site, and they’re free to join. Spend some time looking through the merchants that are offered via the networks that would fit in with your niche.

Even if you are promoting a single, ‘main’ product, there’s also usually many others that will fit in nicely with your campaign.

Making money online isn’t easy, and it requires a lot of work.

It’s easy to set up a quick blog, Lens or other sites. That was probably why I tried to do too many things at one time instead of focusing my efforts. It is, however, more difficult adding quality content often and having a site that will keep the viewers interested.

Don’t Fall for the 5,000 an Hour on Auto-Pilot Spam

dollarsign1thumbnailI’m sure I could go without making this post for most people, but unfortunately there’s always some people that fall for these scams even if they are too good to be true. It’s not hard to make money online, but it’s not easy to get rich quickly.

I just received an email about a ClickBank product that has made a lot of people a lot of money. It’s not because it’s an instant way to get rich though. Don’t misunderstand however, ClickBank offers some fantastic products, I’ve bought several myself. The problem is the way some people market the offerings. They buy an email list from some of the less than decent marketers out there, send out bulk mailings on anything and everything, and get whatever sells they can. I would guess most don’t know anymore about the products that they’re pushing than the unsuspecting spam victims do.

The email that initiated this post was for Forex, which I honestly don’t know much about, but the subject was something to the effect…’Make $1,000,000 in 12 months.’ It was from someone that I had never heard of too. Obviously I hadn’t given him my email, so….there was someone that offered something (free) that I thought looked interesting enough to give up my email for. We all know what that guy does with his list, he sells it.

If you’re new to Internet Marketing there are lots of great products and services around. Personally, what I’ve learned about it, I could pretty much have learned without spending a dime, for the most part. I have promoted quite a few products on this blog, but they’re products that I’vevertbanner01 actually bought or know of!!

If you’re wanting to make some money online, I would take a look at Pot Pie Girl‘s course. It is a ClickBank product and it has lots of great  information. The good thing about her methods is everything is free. She uses Squidoo and EzineArticles a lot, as well as some other sites and methods thrown in.

I just posted about it a few days ago(yes I bought it too). It’s called One Week Marketing Plan, and it takes you through what you need to do, step by step, day by day. She’s got a great ‘no quibble’ guarantee, I think she calls it. So if it doesn’t work for you, you get your money back. I don’t think you could ask for anything better than that.

So just remember, if it sounds too good to be true…it IS!! Not ‘probably is’, it ‘is’ too good to be true. Do you really think if someone had a method that was making them $5,000 per day on ‘auto-pilot,’ they’d be wanting to share it with the world ?

If you’re wanting some free methods to generate traffic, go to BumMarketingCourse.com also. This is something that really offers some very good information that is very similar to what Jennifer (Pot Pie Girl) offers.

Jennifer is a member at Wealthy Affiliate, which is an excellent site if you’re just getting started in Affiliate Marketing. Actually, it’s a good site even if you’re a seasoned veteran, just because there’s a lot of people there doing the same thing and sharing a lot of information. I just became a member a couple of weeks ago and I highly recommend it.

So just use your common sense and read….a lot!! You can sign up for many of the top Affiliate Networks on this site, for free. You can go check out the WickedFire forum, also for free. There”s a bunch of great information there also. Just learn as much as you can before you pull your credit card out.
