You should try social media as traffic source

Since you mentioned social media, could you give me some advice on how to use Facebook Groups as a traffic source? When i say Facebook Groups i mean posting on groups as a member, not actually owning a group of your own.

Hi guys,

I already know about clickbank more than 4 years, but i never make a single sale from them. I promote their product on off. This is how i promote the product. Please advise.

1. Find product that very specific niche with low gravity (1-3)
2. Setup a blog and personally write the content (my english not very good)
3. Drive traffic using Bing (try using adword but my site not comply to their policy)
4. Wait for a few month for google to index my website (not sure about this)
5. Never done SEO to that website.

I know most of the guru said that i need to catch email. But my budget very limited plus i never make a sale so i didn't have any confidence to subscribe email marketing provider like aweber or getresponse.

So my intention to create new thread is to discuss what is the most cost effective for us newbie to make our first sale. The are a few question that i desperately want a good answer.

1. Do we need a landing page or blog? (any hit and run marketing for startup?)
2. How to promote your clickbank using facebook ads? Do we need to create a blog / article? Then drive traffic to that article? Can that article have a affiliate link?

Please help. Thank you

Go on the category E-business/E-marketing choose a product with high gravity and promote it on facebook groups.Search on facebook for Affiliate marketing groups ,Advertise groups,Business opportunity groups or make money groups,MLM,Workfromhome. See others posts to take some ideas.Its working perfect for me,And I think its the best free traffic you can find online. Of course you have to create a landing page with wix or weebly etc because you cannot share your links directly on facebook posts.Same if you go with facebook ads

I am not so experienced with that bro. I tryed it with getresponse 1 month ago but the their delivery sucks, I had only 0,5-4% Max open rates and 0,08%-1% max clickrate. I had perfect open rates with mailchimp but mailchimp dont allow affiliate marketing promotions.. Now I am thinking Aweber

How did you get to do it so suddenly after all these years and what lessons have you learned? I believe this could help other newbies as well.

Hi @olienet ,
Would you mind to share your method and also answer the question you have asked?
e.g. do we need a landing page, the way to promote the product.

Yes, i do have a landing page or they called it a bridge page. It's something like this:

Traffic > bridge page > CB product

Bridge page can be your review site, freebies, or blog.
A few important things that i learn from my mistake is don't rush to get your first sale.

Usually, this is what we do:
Find a good product on CB > Write a review/blog about the product > promote the product
People won't buy the product from you because they don't trust you. They not even
know you so why they should buy from you (your link / your recommendation)
After a few week/month no sale? We repeat the same cycle.

Try to change it for something like this:
Pick your preferred niche (something that you love,passion,expert) > write a blog > build your audience > find a good product to promote
I know this is not easy and take time

Maybe you can try another strategy and share it here.

Hi, this is what i do:
1. Pick low gravity product
2. Write a long review about the product (your website)
3. Drive traffic to that website.
4. I do add a few blog post, privacy policy page, and disclaimer page to make the website look real.

Finally, someone said it. I'm going thru the thread, and hearing people mentioning everything except the notation on gravity. I've been using CB for quite a few years, and allet the products I promote have high gravity. I learned that in the beginning of learning how to sell CB products.

Tbh, if you really want to earn substantial money with any affiliate marketing program, trial and error will be your best friend. No one who is making significant sales everyday is going to share their secret sauce. I don't mind throwing a few tips out here and there, but it took me atleast a year to 18 months of trial and error of different methods as well as different niches before I started seeing multiple sales daily. If you don't put in the work, you won't reap the reward. And no one is going to do months or years of trial and error just to hand out their strategy for free because someone doesn't have the same work ethic.

Start off with finding the right niches, ones that you're knowledgeable in. Sort the thru the various products, I personally choose products with high gravity.. that's what had worked for me. Once you've found the perfect product, try promoting it for a week or 2 with different methods, tracking where your clicks derive from so you can see which source of traffic is hitting the best. If you don't see any potential within a week or 2, move on to the next product.. or next niche if you feel like you don't know as much as you thought in that particular niche. I do a combination of direct linking with a cloaked url, as well as several different landing pages. Different traffic sources convert better with different techniques.

That should be more than enough to get you your first sale.. if not, you're either not putting forth enough effort.. or you're not doing enough testing. Good luck.
