Internet Marketing For Newbies Review

There is a niche affiliate marketing program for every product out there, from skin products to dating ebooks. As an affiliate marketer, you job is to find the ones that will sell well. because if you choose the wrong ones (ones that don’t  convert and/or ones that have bad tools (or worse, none) for its affiliates) you could spend tons of effort on a product that won’t sell and won’t make you any money.

Some niche affiliate marketing program places say they are diligent about tracking your commissions but they have an internal tracking system, and not a third party one. That’s like the wolf saying he’ll keep an eye on your chickens for you. Just how well can you really trust those types of affiliate programs? And many niche affiliate marketing program places only have several products to promote.

If you’re fairly new to internet marketing you may have vaguely heard of Clickbank. It’s the biggest online niche affiliate marketing program out there. Clickbank has been around for a long time and they have a trusted reputation. This is by far the best way to go if you’re just starting out with affiliate marketing.

Clickbank also has a million different niches to choose from (that might be an exaggeration but they have A LOT), so you can promote what interests you. This is very important, especially if you are planning on doing article marketing because you will be writing lots of articles.

The other great thing about Clickbank is you only sign up once. If you’re signing up with other affiliate programs you’ll have to keep track of all those passwords, where you signed up, and who you’re supposed to get paid from. What a hassle. [Warning: Don't go to the Clickbank website to look for niche products, because their website is so confusing. Instead use Clickbank Analytics.com, its a free website and they're a lot more user friendly then Clickbank.]

In Clickbank many product owners will give you tools to help you sell their product: like banners, email letters, testimonials for use on your page and other helpful items. Make sure you look for these when selecting which products to promote. And make sure you look for commisions that pay well. You don’t want to spend your valuable time promoting a product that only pays $5. Look for commissions of $20 or more per sale. Your time is worth at least that.

When looking for a niche affiliate marketing program to promote online I look for a quality product with owners who are willing to help me sell their product. That’s a win/win situation. And Clickbank makes it easy to find all this information.

Now that you’ve found a great niche affiliate marketing program, you should consider getting some basic training in how to market those niche products so that you can make money. If you’re just starting out I highly recommend getting some help. I flayed (and failed) around for about a year before I realized that if i was going to be successful at internet marketing, I needed help.

Is there such a thing as an Affiliate Clickbank Make Money Program? While there isn’t an actual program or course called that, it can be said that Clickbank in itself is a make money program. If you know what you’re doing, affiliate marketing can be hugely rewarding. And it is not just the financial rewards but it’s also about building your own secure future, working when and where you want, and never having to interview for another job again. It’s about pulling yourself up by your boot straps and being your own boss.

Clickbank has over a 100,000 affiliates earning a living by promoting digital products. These affiliates, people just like you, are using search engine optimization, newsletter marketing, email marketing, and other internet marketing tactics in order to earn an income. And you can too. There’s a learning curve, but its not physics. Or as they say, It’s not rocket science. If you haven’t done so, take a look at the thousands of products you can promote at Clickbank.com. And while you’re there get a clickbank ID.

So go ahead an create your own Affiliate Clickbank Make Money Program. You create it by deciding what products you want to promote, what type of promotional tactics you’ll use, and how much you’ll make. Seriously, once you understand how affiliate marketing works, and have your system down to a science, you’ll be able to make as much money as you want. And you also decide how much to invest in the initial startup. Affiliate marketing is one of the very few businesses on the planet that you can start with little or no money.

But there are many people who have failed at internet marketing and at creating their own Affiliate Clickbank Make Money Program. Why? Because many believed the hype about internet marketing being an “easy way to make money”. It’s not. It takes hard work and determination. It also takes knowing what you’re doing, and that can be hard to grasp because there is so much to know about internet marketing. Those who failed are the ones who gave it a try, did a bit of research, learned a bit of this and a bit of that, and then gave up because “it wasn’t working” or “it was a scam”.

Affiliate marketers who are successful are persistent, patient and have affiliate marketing knowledge they put to use over and over. Internet marketing isn’t easy but if you educate yourself about internet marketing and stay focused, you too can have your own Affiliate Clickbank Make Money Program that will take care of you and your family for the rest of your life.

Making money from affiliate marketing doesn’t happen overnight or without some serious commitment, but the rewards are incredible. If you really want to create a secure future for yourself through internet marketing then you should consider getting some affiliate marketing training. If you’re just starting out I highly recommend it. I flayed (and failed) around for about a year before I realized that if i was going to be successful at internet marketing, I needed training and support.

I highly recommend Wealthy Affiliate University. They have all the tools, teachers and resources to help you be successful at internet marketing and earning an income from affiliate marketing. And they are the only online internet marketing training program that has a resource tool that searches inside Clickbank from their site. Very helpful in building your own Affiliate Clickbank Make Money Program.

This is my Squidoo review for internet marketers. If you’re just starting out and really confused about how to begin internet marketing, you might be feeling overwhelmed right now. There is so much to learn about Internet Marketing. In fact, just trying to decide what type of internet marketing to do can be confusing.

There’s affiliate marketing (which is what I do), product creation, and some other stuff that I don’t really understand. Then there are the types of marketing your going to use – will you use PPC (pay per click), bum marketing (also called article marketing), website creation, and again, some other stuff that I don’t understand.

When I first started doing Internet Marketing I started with SiteBuild It (SBI) doing website creation. I wasn’t very good at it because I didn’t really understand keyword research. (Here’s a very important tip – even if you think you understand keyword research, ask someone to look over your keyword research results just to make sure you’re doing it right. In fact, if you want to email me 3 of your top keywords, I’ll take a look at them and let you know if you’re on the tracks or missing the train.) Anyway, with SBI I thought it “wasn’t working” (it was really me that wasn’t working) so i tried something else.

I tried Squidoo next because that sounded easy enough. And it actually is. So here’s my short Squidoo review from my own experience using Own Week Marketing (OWM) – created by a stay at home mom who calls herself PotPie Girl. (She’s also a member of Wealthy Affiliate and I was able to ask her questions on the forums when I was stuck on something in OWM.) You don’t need to buy a guide to help you learn Squidoo but if you want to make money using Squidoo as an internet marketing tool, then you might want to consider it. There is a free ebook you can download on Squidoo call The Squidoo Guide.

One Week Marketing Guide

One Week Marketing taught me a lot about how to get my Squidoo lenses to rank high in search results. Its called One Week Marketing because you should be able to create a Squidoo lens in one week and then move on to the next lens, with the idea of having lots of lenses up and earning money for you. You can also download another free ebook called the Dam Way that walks you through how to start in article marketing.

So if you make 52 “lens campaigns” (one each week for the next year), and each campaign makes an average of $10 a week, you’ll makes about  $27,040 per year. (52 lens campaigns online x $10 ea per week = $520/week. $520 per week x 52 weeks.) Now some of those lens campaigns won’t make any money and others will make more then $10 a week. There are some people making a living with Internet Marketing with just Squidoo lenses.

I know this was supposed to be a Squidoo review and turned into a One Week Marketing review instead, but if you’re serious about earning a living online then you need some type of system and a plan of action. And that’s whats OWM gives you, a day-by-day plan of action.

This was a really easy way for me to learn more about other aspects of internet marketing. And making Squidoo lens is fun! If you haven’t tried it yet, I hope you will do so. Its like building a little newspaper on your favorite topic using nothing but online tools. No need to pay for domain names, web hosting, etc etc. Its all free and just waiting for people to take advantage of it.

I’m adding my own testimonial about the WA keyword research tools to the thousands of other wealthy affiliate testimonials because I loooove WA. I’ve been with them for about 6 months now and I’m going to share with you my favorite thing about Wealthy Affiliate – among my other favorite things, like the fact that Carson (one of the owners of WA) is so dang cute!! Ahhh, if only I were younger. And I also love the forums (where there are boat loads of member wealthy affiliate testimonials) – where I can always get help with anything I’m confused about. But I digress…

If you know anything about keyword research then you know it can be a total time consuming pain in the rear! And that’s my favorite thing about WA – their keyword research tool and article writing tool. I know that sounds like two different things but their very closely linked in WA. I’ve got a couple of screen shots here to show you what i’m talking about.

The first one is keyword research tool. Before i started using WA I would look up keywords using Google’s keyword tool, download them to a file, keep google keyword tool open and type the search results from Google keyword tools (cuz it doesn’t download them with the text!),  and then individually plug each one keyword into google (putting quotes around each one  every time) to get the number of competing sites for that keyword. Talk about a total time hog.

But in Wealthy Affiliate, I just open up the Keyword Research Tool, plug in the key word I’m interested in and in seconds it pulls up a list of relevant keywords. It gives me a list of all the keywords related to the main one, the global search for the previous month, the average number of searches per month, the estimates traffic you could expect for each keyword, and the number of quoted websites (you click on this column and it will take you to Google’s results). It also pulls up the Compeition for adsense (which I don’t use so can’t really say much about it), article power (which is awesome if you’re doing article marketing),  and Pay Per Click, Spy and Dig (I don’t use any of those so i can’t say much about them either).

Now my keyword research takes minutes instead of and hour or two. and my fingers and hands get a break from all that extras typing. My wealthy affiliate testimonials continues in the next blog where I finish up telling you about the article writing tool and how its totally linked to keyword research and is amazingly helpful.

If you just can’t afford the monthly fee associated with WA there is another awesome keyword research tool called Micro Niche Finder which is a software program you pay for once, and download to your computer (PCs only) that is a kick-butt research tool. I’ll write a review of that in a bit but basically it finds very niche markets for you to go after, where there’s lots of demand but very little competition. Its an amazing program.
