Want to make a lot of money dominating ClickBank?

Yeah, me too. So I’m passing this gem on to you because I thought you might want to see it.

Who is Andrew Fox?

Maybe you never heard of him, but maybe you should check this out anyway. He never heard of me either. I seem to be on the email lists of every internet marketer on earth. How about you? So this guy (I am assuming it’s a guy.) Rob Benwell was the first to send me a link to Andrew Fox’s video. Don’t get too excited about that. It’s just a description how much money he has made and how he wants to share his secrets with you and me. Boy, I never heard that one before! Anyway, read on if you’re so inclined.

And this just in … Andrew Fox has been marketing online since 1999 and has sold millions of dollars of products.

ClickBank is the Internet’s largest digital marketplace, where thousands of the web’s most popular products are sold every day.  

What what people don’t realize is how easy it is to get started with Clickbank and how you can start generating sales even if you have your own  product.

There are a few ways to do this.

1) Acquire Resale Rights to a product you don’t own, create an page for affiliates and supply them tools to promote and feed of their efforts.

2) Promote products as an affiliate using Pay per Click Search Engines

So which method is best?

I’ve successfully tried both methods, both with good results.

For the beginner I recommend promoting products as an affiliate to get used to how the system works and to help sharpen your pay per click search engine advertising skills.

Acquiring Resale Rights to a hot  selling product can be lucrative venture when set up correctly.

In fact I managed to generate over $25,764 in sales for a resale license I paid $197 for without spending a penny on advertising.

I was able to do this by leveraging Clickbank’s instant affiliate force which I teach in great depth in my new course Dominating CB.  

Once you have built a successful customer and lead list there are also several ways you can leverage this into even greater profits.

Clickbank is such an attractive proposition for affiliates to use. They know they are going to get paid twice per month and on  clockwork every time.  

Sometimes product owners complain that the fees are higher than the average merchant  account but the ability to leverage it’s massive network of affiliate can results in mega profits when done correctly.

Warm Regards,

Andrew Fox

OK, if you actually read this far, you observed (especially if you are an English major) that his grasp of the nuances of English is kind of shaky, but he copyrighted the thing so I couldn’t edit it for him. Nevertheless, he does send his Warm Regards.

Do this now!

Evaluating Affiliate Silver Bullet

Friday, September 5th, 2008

- Affiliate Silver Bullet Evaluation in Progress -

I’m evaluating the Affiliate Silver Bullet product from Dustin Struckman. Do not buy it based on my recommendation because I am in the process of reviewing it and have not reached a conclusion about its value yet. I have signed up to the affiliate program as part of my evaluation procedure so if you click any of the links below, my affiliate number will be associated with your click. 

 

10 Silver Bullets for $37

The good news - I didn’t break the bank on this one (applause).

What’s a Silver Bullet?

It’s basically a preconfigured website promoting a ClickBank product. You get all the files you need for your website including a "video squeeze page" to build your optin list, 2-page mini-site providing your prospects with free information, 5 email lessons, and the links you need to get paid when someone buys the product.

Of course, you need to have or set up a ClickBank account and that is where the money accumulates.

Example Blog Post

Your part of the deal is that you have to promote the preconfigured products you uploaded to your website(s), ASB provided the sample blog post that follows.


"One of the easiest and fastest way to make money online in through affiliate marketing. This is when you send visitors to someone else’s product sales page, they make the sale and deliver the product, and you get a percentage of the sale price as you commission (usually 50% or more for digital products).

The benefits of this are

  1. You can get started almost immediately because you don’t have to create a product, write the sales page, design the website, develop marketing materials, or set up the ordering, billing & delivery system.

  2. You have almost no investment of time because you don’t have to do the customer support or deal with billing or technical issues.

  3. You have nearly zero risk because you already know the product sells. So if you send visitors you will get paid.

Looking at these benefits, it’s clear that affiliate marketing is the way to go! (more…)

Internet Marketing Sins

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Had enough marketing BS yet?

  • Are you pissed off by the unethical and even illegal marketing tactics that assault you every day?
  • Do you get the urge to do bodily harm to internet marketers using these tactics on you?
  • Don’t even know what these tactics are and how to recognize them?

Internet Marketing Sins shines the light

Sylvie Fortin calls these tactics "sins" and she explains them in clear understandable, but strong, language. You won’t have a problem recognizing yourself, how badly you’ve been treated (and perhaps how you have treated others?).

This is a MUST READ for Newbies

I think it is especially important for newbie beginners in internet marketing to learn to recognize and avoid these tactics, and that is why I seriously urge you to read this revealing report.

You probably already realize that you’ve been scammed by one or more of these tactics, but Internet Marketing Sins lays it all out systematically and comprehensively. I feel so strongly about this that I’ve added Internet Marketing Sins to the Recommended page.

Hammerhead Marketing

I think most of you will have an emotional and personal reaction to Sylvie’s description of getting hammered. I clearly recognized myself as the dreamer in the description of the hammerhead marketing tactic. Maybe you will too.

My Last Word on Automatic Income System

Monday, July 28th, 2008


I undid it

I don’t know if you remember that I started this particular adventure with "Ed, don’t tell me you bought another one of these things." Yeah, I did.

As I worked through the system, I found that I could not view important videos on my Mac. Michael Cheney’s support desk wasn’t any help with that. So the product should have been labelled from the first as a Windows product.

So I did what I’ve been advising you to do with any product that doesn’t live up to your expectations. I got a refund.


PLR Dump

PLR (private label rights) means that YOU didn’t write the ebook or produce the video, or make whatever the product happens to be. Some of the products in this package are PLR pass-throughs and not Michael Cheney’s products.

Personally I don’t like passing off someone else’s work as my own. Probably my science background holding me back.

Despite my personal view on this, a flourishing PLR industry exists and a lot of people sell PLR products on the premise that you will resell it and make your money that way. What they generally leave out is all the work you have to do to be successful at this strategy.


"Automatic" - Not

The advertising sales pitch for this product overhyped the potential to generate "automatic" income. It turns out that you have to do a helluva lot of work, not the least of which is build an online reputation, before anything even close to automatic income materializes.

I’m not dissing work. Work is good. The "internet life style" takes a lot of work. I’m knocking the sales pitches that claim to minimize or even eliminate the work required to make money.

Remember, no matter what they want you to believe, it’s their day job. All the internet marketing "gurus" I know worked for years to get where they are today. And they are working pretty hard to stay where they are.

 

Still want to Start Your Profits Today?

Here’s my sales pitch to you if you think Michael Cheney has a better product for newbies (I think he does and it costs $97, not $497). The product is called Start Your Profits Today.

Click that link and you get 8 FREE videos to help you decide if Start Your Profits Today is just what you need to get your internet money making venture off the ground.

Oh, and that Today part? Be realistic, it’s not happening for beginners in one day no matter what anybody says. But you can get started today.

In any case, I think you’ll find the FREE videos helpful.


PS When you click the link to Start Your Profits Today, you will be taken to a "squeeze page", which means that you have to enter your name and email address to get to the FREE videos. For the name part, I always enter just my first name (and sometimes I make up a name - don’t tell on me - autoresponders don’t know who you are). You can always Unsubscribe from Michael Cheney’s autoresponder whenever you wish.

 

Michael Cheney’s Automatic Income System Recommendations - Short and Sweet

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

 

I haven’t completed the work yet, but I have looked over the entire program, and here’s my recommendation.

 


Recommended - If you are an internet marketing beginner (otherwise known as a newbie), the Automatic Income System has all the information you need to get your feet wet. Given that you have 60 days to ask all the questions you can think of, Michael Cheney’s program is as complete as any I’ve seen, and with a money-back guarantee, you can’t really go wrong.

If you are more experienced, and you just want to be able to sell the 4 products to get 100% of the income, you might want to give this a try.

 


Not Recommended - If you already know how to set up a website and a WordPress blog and have already sold something on the internet, you will be annoyed by the handholding that is appropriate for newbies (scrolls, messengers, and castles, oh my!), but doesn’t add anything to what you already know. If you know how to find products at ClickBank and you want to promote Michael Cheney’s products, you don’t need the Automatic Income System to do that.

 


Caveat emptor: Some of the components of the Automatic Income System are Windows-only (actually the entire program is Windows-oriented). So if you are a Mac person, be prepared for that.

 


If you purchased the Automatic Income System, please share your experiences with it here.

 

Michael Cheney’s Automatic Income System - First Report

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

 

This is my first report on Michael Cheney’s Automatic Income System which costs $497. When you buy into this system, you become a member of automaticincomevip.com (If you try this website, it will take you to his sales pitch page www.getincomesystem.com.).

 

DID IT AGAIN!

I know, I know, you’re saying, "Ed, don’t tell me you bought another one of these things. But it’s OK. It comes with a 60 day money-back guarantee and I’ve still got plenty of time to evaluate it before I decide if I made a good investment or not.

The member’s area is packed with quite a few instructional videos so it’s going to take some time to work through all that. So I am just going to follow the instructions more or less to the letter and take it one step at a time and try to maintain my focus until I get it done.

The Automatic Income System comes with 4 products that are already developed for you. Michael Cheney’s Affiliate Millions is the first product and it is a video series on affiliate marketing (duh! ). You have to set this product up first because setting up the next 3 products follows the same pattern. Here’s how I did it. (more…)

One Time Offers with Affiliate Evolution

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

You’ve probably been getting emails about Russell Brunson’s $10 offer for his Affiliate Evolution product. At that price you might very well want to buy in.

Just be aware that you will also see several One Time Offers in addition that could increase your cost to hundreds of dollars if you decide to give them a try. Use your best judgment.

If you just want the $10 items that intrigued you in the first place, scroll to the bottom of the OTO pages, and click the "No thanks" links until you get to the 6 mp3 files and 1 pdf.

 

For eBay Affiliates

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

If you are an eBay affiliate, you will want to be aware that the eBay is changing its affiliate program. This note is particularly relevant to those who are using Jeff Mulligan’s eBay Quickie Profits strategy. You will no longer need a Commission Junction account to apply this strategy.

We are excited to announce eBay’s new global affiliate platform: the eBay Partner Network.

The new platform will go live on April 1st, 2008 PST, at which point eBay will no longer be running its affiliate program through Commission Junction.  Beginning April 1st, affiliates should register with eBay Partner Network and migrate their links from CJ to the new platform.

Jim Edwards Explains How to Cash in with Mini-sites

Cashing In Fast With "Mini" Sites

      - by Jim Edwards

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I’ve gotten a plenty of questions lately about why I think "mini" sites, simple 1-2 page websites, are better than "traditional" websites you might learn to build in school or from a website design course.

In fact, I believe "traditional" websites represent a complete waste of time and end up making small and home- based business owners give up on the Internet before they even have a chance to get started.

If you want to cash in fast on the web, stop thinking about making "web" sites and start thinking about "mini" sites.

Basically, traditional sites try to be all things to all people.

If you go to somebody’s website and you see:

"Sign up for my newsletter";
"Buy my product";
"Check out these links";
"Check out our article archive";
"Click Here for the article of the day";
"Subscribe to this RSS feed";
"Visit our blog!"

…. it just creates confusion.

In other words, visitors arrive at the site and either go nuts figuring out what to do next or, more likely, they simply click their back button - never to return. (more…)

Electronic Products at ClickBank

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

One place that you can find products to promote is the ClickBank Marketplace. If you are not familiar with ClickBank, all the products there are electronic, meaning that they can be downloaded directly to your computer once the purchase is completed.


Typical products are ebooks and software. At last count, there were about 27,000 products available.

The majority of sales at ClickBank are made by affiliates. Once you have set up an account, you can pick one or more of the huge number of products that you would like to promote (i.e., advertise).

You earn a commission on sales that come through you affiliate link. Affiliate links are generated automatically for you so you only have to copy and paste them. An affiliate text link looks like this:

http://AFFILIATE.product_ID.hop.clickbank.net

You also get a copy and paste link that you can use on your website that looks like this:

<a href="http://AFFILIATE.product_ID.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank">Click Here!</a>

Replace AFFILIATE with your ClickBank affiliate name, and you can also replace the Click Here! text with any text that you like. The text will appear as a clickable link.

Both these link formats take your prospect to the sales page of the product you are promoting, and the AFFILIATE part of the link tells ClickBank that you get a commission if the prospect purchases the product.
