Honesty ...

Okay, it is time for another update on my progress to get Clickbank sales.
As you can see in the stats on the left here, my sales are still at zero ......

I will be brutally honest here: everything I have joined so far is turning out to be a disappointment.

While I believe AffiliateSilverBullet has the right idea, it is taking me way more time to generate traffic to my squeeze pages than I had expected. The squeeze pages are very appealing, with sound that starts automatically, so even when someone has several tabs open in their browser, they will still here the very attractive ad. I do have some leads now but getting those depends on how hard I work to get more and more traffic to the pages and to get e-mail ads sent out.

Since I am looking for a second income, I did not plan on working just as hard for it as for my first income ... if you know what I mean!

The guy I e-mailed about his fool proof system never got back to me, so I'm passing on his "you cannot go wrong with this because I am actually using it myself" pitch.

The DailyNicheIdea is also a disappointment. I am not even getting daily e-mails and I still have to work my butt off to get traffic - no pointers as to where the buyers are in the "niche" they suggest. I sure am glad I did not take the first 2 One Time Offers and went for the 1 month free trial in stead. I will cancel before the month is over, of course.

I will continue to look for good ideas - please feel free to send me some, but only things that have actually worked for you, okay ?!

Final note for today:

It is reassuring that the ASB staff is doing all the follow-up with my leads, so I am going to continue plugging my squeeze pages for long term profits (hopefully).

Simple way to get a boat load of free traffic

While I am still exploring the daily niche idea site (had some other things to do this weekend) I just came across one of those viral advertising sites and dediced to give it a go with my 3rd bullet from AffiliateSilverBullet.

Here is my link if you want to check it out - the system is simple but it works: http://www.fwebtraffic.com/?rid=1284876

A free e-book ....

Yesterday I did a Google search for "free clickbank tips" and found a free e-book.
When I signed up to download it, I was asked twice if I wanted resell rights and I would get all kinds of other goodies to go, but I would need to pay. I declined the first offer, then got a cheaper offer (only $17) just for the e-book which would contain all my links. It was tempting at that low price but I declined again, simply because I wanted to see the e-book first.

I am very glad I did not buy the resell rights because as it turns out, the e-book gives nothing more than some help in browsing the actual Clickbank site and gives links to a few other sites. There is some helpful info in there, but these are things I could have found out myself as well.

So - to help you get started at Clickbank this is a nice e-book with helpful screenshots, but please do not pay for the resell rights: All About Clickbank.
Yes, this is my referral link but I assure you, I did not buy anything here, I am just passing on the link for those who want to get started quickly at Clickbank.

One of the sites that are recommended in this e-book is DailyNicheIdea. Now I joined this one free as well, and they too have tempting "one time offers" when you sign up. I declined the $97 life time membership, then declined the $9.97 monthly membership (which is 50% of the normal fee) and took the 1 month free offer! After the first month, it will be $9.97 monthly but I can cancel before that or at any time later on. I thought, why pass up on a free month?

Off to check out what I joined now - will post here again when I know more about it :)
Feel free to sign up already and check it out with me: DailyNicheIdea.

Cash Rich Niches ... ?

You have to find 'cash rich niches' ....
that's what I've been told.
Don't advertise what everybody else is advertising but find those 'niches' with people ready to spend money on your product.

Ok ... but how do you find these niches??!

So far, I have found 2 systems that promise you will find them; one is almost $500 and the other one is $47. I have contacted the owner of the $47 program and have asked him a few questions - obviously I am not buying the $500 one just yet, because I haven't even started making money yet, so I simply cannot afford it. I'm not sure I would buy such an expensive system if I could afford it though ... although it does have a 60 day money-back guarantee on it.

Anyway, I'm waiting to hear from the $47 system owner - will post my progress here.

Meanwhile I have my Affiliate Silver Bullets out there to try and make my first ever sale.

To be continued .....

Where to start?

How about a free test drive to get you started?

I have had a dormant Clickbank account for years, and I never made a single sale. This may also be because I was focusing on other things but even when I started advertising some links actively, I didn't get any results.

Now there are programs out there promising the world - make hundreds a day using their tools, but you will have to send them hundreds first to get it - and then it remains to be seen if they actually work.

This time, I found a system that is very affordable, can be cancelled at any moment and that literally does everything for you. The only thing you need to do is drive traffic to a few squeeze pages and they take care of the rest. They manage your list, take care of the sales and provide you with tools that already contain your Clickbank ID.

You can get a free course - worth $67 according to them - and see if this is for you.

Interested? Take a free test drive here!
