path. im intent on putting some extra bucks in my pocket just looking for

Buy a domain and get a cheap virtual hosting account.

Set up a wordpress blog, get a nice theme, make it look nice.

Write a bunch of blog posts for your blog. Put some up straight away and schedule some to be published in the future on a regular basis.

Make some nice ads to go on your blog above and around your posts, advertising clickbank products in your niche. Put up a huge ad above the fold on your main page for your best product.

Submit your blog posts to social bookmarking sites on a regular basis.

Set up a twitter account and link it to your blog, so your blog posts get linked to from your twitter account (there are plugins to do this).

Write more articles. Alternately link to the main page of your blog and to your existing posts. Submit those articles to every article directory you can.

That should give you a nice trickle of traffic and hopefully a few sales, and more importantly it will teach you about how to put up a site and build some backlinks to it.

I suggest you go with Adsense or CPA first. They both involve similar aspects of ranking sites (one way of getting leads/clicks/sales etc.) but it's much easier than trying to get people to buy things. If you don't know what you are doing you won't make a cent. At least if you put adsense on your sites you will get accidental clicks.

You can market cb products in many ways . As you are beginner I suggest you to write review articles on cb products . I mean if you promote product "Mass money makers" , write review article about it , make a title like "mass money makers review" and submit it to article directories like ezinearticles , articledashboard , articlesbase ... Get backlinks to your submitted article , you can do this by blog commenting , social bookmarking , forum signatures and so on . Articles on article directories tend to rank high with less SEO work , besauce it has high page rank and good interlinking structure . Hope you got my point .

Whatever you do, I wouldn't suggest that you sell Internet Marketing products. Why?

1) The "gurus" have huge email subscriber lists of internet marketing noobies and will therefore bury you in regards to marketing in that niche.

2) Internet Marketing noobies quickly discover that they can become a Clickbank Affiliate and can buy the products for around 50% less than you are charging for it.

Stick with niches outside of the Internet Marketing field. You will do much better.

PS: And be sure to read all of the posts on BHW by Yukinari. He is very well versed on the techniques of marketing CB products. He is the author of three popular books on CB marketing.

all of your posts are extremely helpful but if im better off running cpa and adsense from the gate then how much would it cost to scale those projects up?

any bhw forum links to get me to something you guys used?

i can take anything at this point im just trying to learn how to make a profit and scale it up bigtime
