Promoting affiliate programs successfully and profitably involves investing a considerable amount of time and energy. One of the most discouraging things to deal with is a lack of results after you’ve gone through an extensive advertising campaign.

The most popular form of affiliate programs heavily promoted by the masses are the ones that you find on Clickbank. The majority of these programs involve paying you the affiliate a certain percentage of the sales you make for whatever the product is.

That’s great, but there is one problem though…

Once you’ve made the sale, that’s it. If the customer that you’ve worked so hard to direct to that vendors offer, purchases any other products the vendor creates… you get nothing.

As an affiliate it is important that you calculate the amount of time and energy you put into your promotional campaigns and how long it takes to make a sale. Once you can get an idea how much time and effort is needed to generate sales, then you can begin to get an idea what your hourly rate is or what your time is worth.

It’s important to understand that if you are serious about affiliate marketing you must treat it as a business.

If you are in business to make money through the products and services that you promote, then it is of paramount importance that the products and services YOU CHOOSE to promote yield the best return on investment for your time.

Now I’m knocking ebook and software sales. Heck if you’ve got a hot product and a large list you can make a killing and there are many affiliates doing just that.

However…

What if you could invest the same amount of time and effort into promoting a high quality product or service that pays you commissions for life?

What if you could promote a product or service that would allow you to earn commissions from your direct referrals and the referrals they make for life?

What I’m saying here is that instead of just getting paid that one time for the sale of the ebook or service, why not keep getting paid month after month from the work you put in? After all you did bring the customer to the table didn’t you?

Well right now I am proud to introduce you to an opportunity that will allow you to do just that. It’s being run by two guys who have a knack for over delivering on quality and have built for themselves an incredible reputation online.

They started out from small beginnings like many others and have over time and consistently provided quality internet marketing content for free that has helped more people than most of the internet marketing products being sold online to date.

I myself have joined their membership programs and can easily say that I’ve been able to increase my earnings and knowledge as a direct result of the information they provide and it just got even better.

Special Lifetime Commission Invitation

Got a really cool update from Tim Godfrey of Commission Blueprint fame concerning a couple of things that will benefit your business and your bottom line. Check it out:

Got a number of important things to tell you about today…

One is regarding Google and other is to do with Clickbank…

First thing’s first though…

Clickbank’s new *HopAd Builder*!

Now, the odd thing is, not too many people  seem to know about this new tool, and I haven’t really seen these new ‘ad boxes’ placed on many websites either…

However, the potential of the HopAd Builder is huge and for some will be a perfect alternative to Google Adsense, especially  those who have content sites in markets that generate very low revenue per click.

What HopAd Builder does is allow you to create fully customizable ad boxes with affiliate links to clickbank products and as with Google Adsense you can alter the boxes to match both the look and content of your site.

The only difference from Adsense is that the system doesn’t ’spider’your site to determine what the content on each individual page is about.. YOU have to designate the category yourself.

For instance if you had a site on dog training, you would go to the HopAd tool, submit the keyword ‘dog training’, your clickbank ID, choose the size, color and background of the ad boxes…and then swipe the code to paste into your site.

Then when someone clicks on an Ad and buys the product, you get paid the FULL Clickbank commission.

Pretty darn cool I’m sure you’ll agree.

Now, in my opinion, one of the best things about Clickbank’s new tool is that unlike Adsense, you can alter the ‘header text’.

With Adsense boxes, whether you like it or not, the system automatically displays the text “ads by Google” which makes it more difficult to blend the ads into your page.

However, with Clickbank you have the option to adjust this… and THAT is extremely good news because ultimately it will increase your CTR’s as well as your overall profits.

So as an example, instead of the default “ads by Clickbank” text, you could change it to show..

“Highly Recommended…”
“Check These Out…”
“Really Cool Sites…”
“This Month’s Picks…”

…and so on and so forth. Anything you want.

Clever, clever…well done clickbank…it really is an AWESOME feature and is extremely advantageous to those who use it.

BUT…

Evidently the big question is this:

What’s going to make you the most money?

Adsense Ads or Clickbank Ads?

Well, this obviously depends on a number of factors…

If the content of your site is ‘Law’ for instance, and Google is diplaying the
highest paying ads on each of your pages, then obviously at $10 or more *per click*, Adsense is going to win hands down.

However, if your website content is about ‘affiliate marketing’ then the likelyhood is you’re only getting paid around 30c per click, depending which ads are being displayed.

So… let’s do the math on this:

As an example, take our product, “Commission Blueprint” which generally from a direct link and targeted traffic converts at around 3%…

…in other words for every 100 clicks, you’ll make 3 sales and generate $150+ in commissions.

So to confirm:

100 clicks = $150

If you had Adsense on your site and were being paid 30c for each individual click, that would equate to:

30c x 100 = $30

…in other words the Clickbank ad wins by a VERY substantial margin… and still would, even at 1% conversion rate!

So, again, whether the Clickbank ads will be more profitable for you or not depends entirely on the content of your site…

Although as always, the only way to know for sure would be to split test both scenarios.

How would you go about doing this?

Of course, the IDEAL way would be to place both an Adsense box AND a
clickbank ad box on a page simultaenously as you’d be able to determine which produced the best CTR’s not only the most amount of cash.

However, as you may know, Google typically doesn’t allow you to show other ad types on a webpage where you display Adsense, so the
only way to do it would be conduct a 2 week trial displaying one ad type at a time and see which of these periods makes you the most money.

Oh, and by the way you can also add tracking ID’s to your clickbank ads which makes it easy to recognize which sales are being generated by your test.

Of course, you *could* display both at the same time and hope Google doesn’t notice… but coming from the person who was banned
from Adsense a little over 3 years ago, it probably wouldn’t be best to take my advice on that one!

(Steve has a seperate account so we can still use the system by the way!)

Anyway, this new Adsense alternative is certainly something you should check out and you can take a look at it here:

Staying motivated as an affiliate marketer is definitely not easy, especially when you’re new and you have yet to make your first commission. What do you do to keep the fires burning?

It’s been said that the clickbank screenshots can take the enthusiasm out of someone before they get started. Is this the case for you? What goes through your mind when you look at those pictures of massive clickbank paydays?

For the most part it motivates me and at the same time it’s a little frustrating as well, cause you know you’re gonna get there, but you can’t exactly put your finger on when.

What do you do to overcome the feelings of frustration? What keeps you in the game?

For me it’s my family, especially my 3 year old grandson. Every time I feel like slacking off or throwing in the towel, he gets the fire in my belly blazing. My wife and I are due for a vacation, because it’s definitely been a little while and she needs a break. She needs a break from me and my nonstop marketing (pun intended) and everything else in general. Then of course there’s the job. That lovely job that I can’t wait to get to everyday, that makes me toss and turn with anticipation for the coming day. NOT.

Those things won’t change unless I continue to forge ahead and poke my finger through the cycle of broke thinking that permeates the atmosphere like thick smoke from a 5 alarm fire. What keeps you going?

Looking for insight and inspiration,

Nando
