Even if you've got the simplest job on the planet...
I don't care if you're washing dishes or flipping burgers.
Heck, even if you're a roadside fruit seller...
All of those jobs are much more complicated than making money from Clickbank.
I know that for a fact...
Let me tell you a story about how I found that out...
About 8 weeks ago, I decided to take the plunge into Clickbank.
I'd always heard that it was easy to get started, and I had some free time so I thought I'd finally give it a shot. I mean, I'd had some success online in the past, and I thought I was finally ready.
So I just sat down one day at my kitchen table, fired up the old laptop, and started searching the Clickbank Marketplace for products to promote...
I went through the same basic number crunching I always go through with new stuff - I mean real basic - I'm talking kindergarten math...
And after about an hour I'd found a few products with good commissions, so I decided to pull the trigger and start promoting them...
But I didn't take it seriously. I just grabbed a couple of free templates for landing pages, and fired up a couple of Adwords campaigns...
Boy, they were some ugly templates...and right then I figured I'd already blown it.
So I sat back and waited...I figured I'd put a couple hours in, may as well give it a fair shot...
It was incredible.
Everytime I hit the "refresh" button, I had another 2 or 3 sales...
I couldn't believe it...I'd heard Clickbank had some decent products ... but it's not like they were converting at 15-20% or anything...
So I tried again. Found new products. Put together new landing pages.
And guess what happened?
You got it - The money kept coming in. Floods of it. Clickbank was spraying cash like a broken fire hydrant...
So I tried again...new products, new landing page, new keywords, the whole 9 yards...
But the commissions just continued to mount up...
After a few days of watching my stats spin like a slot machine, I decided to look into things a little further.
So I began analysing my competition. The guys promoting the same products as me, the ones using the same keywords...
And man, was that an eye opener...
I found that most Clickbank affiliates are making huge mistakes...errors that drastically reduce the conversions of the vendor's site!
But That's Not Even The Worst Part...
The worst part is that almost every Clickbank affiliate is dropping the ball with their landing pages.
And they're doing it so badly that it's pushing their cost per click through the roof...
If you're using Adwords to promote Clickbank products, chances are you're paying at least double what you should be. Even right now, as you read this page.
Scary huh?
And that's what got me thinking - seeing all those guys wasting money while I massacre their ads and shut down their businesses made me realise something:
Almost everyone has the wrong idea about affiliate marketing. Think about it...
..Just about everyone gets their marketing skills from Internet Marketing (IM) products. I'll bet you've bought a few of them yourself, haven't you?
I know I have.
You've probably also realised that a lot of the time these products - especially ones put out by the so-called gurus - don't quite give you the whole story.
Sure, they'll give you some hints and a rough framework. But after that, you're on your own.
The training wheels come off, and suddenly your "business" sucks money out of your wallet like an industrial vacuum cleaner.
And man, that hurts. You'll probably need to take on a day job just to finance the business!
Really, when you think about it, everyone learning from the same gurus is the main problem.
