Affiliate Marketing with ClickBank

[korbes]

Hi guys, so I have been running my Affiliate Website/Blog for about 20 days now, and things are pretty good so far I think. In total I have gained over 1K visits already (from direct traffic, - forums etc.) and a few people signed up for my email list. I promised myself to be fucking consistent and persistent about this affiliate marketing, but I have met some sort of an obstacle now, and I could really use some you geniuses help here.

How do I go about finding the right Clickbank product?
Sorry if this gets asked a lot, but I am really uncertain about what looks like a good product.
Gravity doesn't really mean anything else than there are some affiliates banking hard on the product right, and the competetion is probably huge as fuck.

Also, all the 1K+ visits, I sent them to my main article, and inside of that I dropped one link for my review article about an amazon product + dropping an amazon ad for that product in my main article also, just under the link to the review article. I got 10 clicks out of those 1K+ visits, which means I must be doing something wrong.

I haven't started promoting my Clickbank offer yet, as I am having a hard time deciding on which product is the right one, but I also know I just gotta try something and see how it works out, but if let's say, I choose a product on Clickbank, that I think looks good based on other peoples reviews about the product and the landing page etc. looks good and good-converting to me, how do I promote the best way on my affiliate website?

Not all my articles should be about this product of course, but do I always have a link/image in the sidebars or in my other informative articles etc, about this product? Or should I focus more on getting them on my email list, developing a good lead magnet, and then market the product to them via email sequences?
Like
Email 1: Welcome to newsletter bla bla, free value stuff (FREE CHECKLIST FOR xx..)
Email 2: Promote product (maybe tell a story and then promote it inside the story)
Email 3: Tell another story, low-key promoting?..
Email 4: Tell another story, high-key promoting..
Email 5: Hard sell the product.
Email 6: If no purchases, try with other product(s)?..

I am just not sure what to focus on now..
I still need a lot of articles, I need more email subs, I need more backlinks, I need to do more KW research, I need to develop a lead magnet, I need to create web 2.0's etc. etc.

But in the meantime, I could be losing sales if I don't link to my CB product the right way, and .. I of course need to find the product first, but..

What do you guys think?
I've got a lot of good feedback on my site so far, people say that the articles are good quality and well-written, so that's really nice to hear, I might be on the right track, what do you think is the next step & how do I promote my product in the best way possible / most converting way possible?

Hope you understand this kinda desperate post, lol!

(Btw I am planning on only doing FREE traffic methods atm, as I want to learn SEO, no bing/adwords etc.)

Thanks in advance!

All the best,

First double check traffic quality, bots are bad for business. Then make sure that visitors are interested and they are not being forced into visiting. End page must look appeasing and relevant, more ads more distraction. Maybe it appeasing and easy to crawl and be honest about contents upfront. For starting out invest into advertisement, it starting paying out soon. But don't ever go for cheap traffic, organic is the key.

The traffic quality should be very targeted, as I posted niche article in a niche subreddit, and got over 1K visits. I am not forcing them to anything, they can do whatever they want, I just dropped a link, and people clicked because it sounded interesting I guess, and I also got alot of positive feedback on that article.
I also got a few visits from Quora etc.

Which bots are you talking about?

I have 0 ads, only the 1 amazon ad and one link to my review article, it's very low-key promotion imo.

The article readability is also good.

I don't want to invest in advertisement right now, I don't enough about Google AdWords and FB ads, I already spent thousands of dollars on Facebook Ads, without any success, so I am not really ready for that atm

I'm also just focusing on organic, pretty much - But it's cool if I can get some email subs from direct links.

Anyways, how would you promote your CB product?
Picture? Link? if so, how many links sprinkled over the article? Via Email?.....

Have a peak over your analytics results, mainly focus on your ACTUAL traffic sources and bounce rate.
As you stated positive feedback on articles, if its wordpress etc then do manually check those comments, bots are trying to build backlinks.
If you are sure all is organic (around 70%) then let someone review your article, and see if they feel compelled to click your links. No need to pay ask a friend for it.
I believe you already know what you are doing, so no need for me to mentions minor stuff you already are doing apparently

As you have asked then I would tell, but I suggest you not to follow blindly it could destroy everything you have work hard for.

I believe in more the better, care less about quality. For me 10000 giving $10 is a lot better then 100 giving $5.
Overview (Again not suggesting anything):
Buy few domain at cheap rate, get a hosting paid for main and free for rest or use main hosting account
Build few landing pages and blogs (free don't go crazing with your money)
Use them for backlinking
Multi FB accounts and custom bots/scripts (not necessary)
Join different groups and spamming some contents and link to original sites, getting ban is not a big issue.
Get targeted mailing list, no problem as long as users can unsubscribe.
Exploit some free promotions.
Twitter tweets (multi accounts retweets)
Sooner backlinks start to pay up, then switch domains.

You get an idea.

Hey, you mentioned you didn't have much success with FB Ads, and I found a good training about that in the ecomempires.co website
their course is free and focus on eCom, but you can apply its strategies for Affiliate Marketing no problem

Hope this helps.

Ah thanks alot bro!
I even also bought Frank Hatchett's course, but I think my mindset is wrong about FB ads.
Have you seen any results on your FB ads after taking that ecomempires course?

I had no idea how to run an ad, or how an ad work. If you asked me the difference between an ad, an adset I would sutter lol
Then I found this course randomly when I started looking for ways to make money online, and until now it still stands as one of the best Fb Ads course I ever found.

This and the one from JayKay Dowdall called Fb Master's. This one is way more technical.

Focus on email marketing, top affiliates get 100,000 visits to their website/blog, so, that's what is takes if you're doing it with organice traffic, start paid advertisement+email marketing.

Maybe we can have a group chat or something?
