Guideline #1: Check to see if the product you want to promote already has an established market

This goes a long way in earning an awesome income with clickbank affiliate marketing. Do a Google search for the main topic related to your product.

If the search results return 750,000 sites then it more than likely means that there is enough web traffic and potential customers to make serious profits!

Guideline #2: Don't base your product selection strictly on commission percentage.

Sometimes a product with a 75commission can return less on your investment compared to a product that has a 50commission. It's better to sell a $47 product with a 50commission than a $7 product with a 75commission!

Remember that you should think about the cost of advertising. If you're paying for your advertisements then you want to work with a product that will return well on your investments.

Guideline #3: Don't be afraid to step outside the make money online/ internet marketing niche.

There are far too many fantastic opportunities in other niches compared to the internet marketing niche. Even thought the make money online niche is very lucrative, it is also highly competitive. You shouldn't be afraid to research and make serious profits in other lucrative niches.

Guideline #4: Make sure to check the Sales page of the product

When you study the sales page does it have a strong headline that commands attention? Is the copywriting easy to read and understand? Does the sales page include testimionals and guarantees? All of these factors increase conversions which in turn makes you more money.

Guideline #5: Does the Sales page contain an "Opt In"?

A sales page with an "opt in" usually promotes a free ebook, audio, or video in exchange for the prospect's name and email address. Theses ethical bribes are used so that the business owner can market to the prospects repeatedly over time. Using that marketing tactic increases conversions which in turn makes you more money.

Guideline #6: Search for products that provide you with tested marketing material

This can be a big help in your marketing efforts. This makes it easier to make money beucase you don't have to spend time creating the material yourself. Having tested marketing material to use can help shortcut your way to profits.

If you prefer to create your own marketing material then you can definitely use the provided material for ideas.

Guideline # 7: Don't waste time trying to turn a losing product into a winner

Sometimes the products you choose will not convert so well. That is why I encourage you to choose multiple products to promote. Set up an effective marketing campaign for each product then move to the next product. If a product is not converting well you don't need to worry because you have your other products you're promoting and hopefully converting!.

Guideline # 8: Duplicate the process as many times as possible

Promoting one product is not going to earn you a full time income. Marketing many products over time will earn you serious money online. The more times you duplicate the process the more you will compound your commission earnings. That is the key to winning at affiliate marketing!

Remember that practice makes perfect. The more you try your hand at clickbank affiliate marketing the more effective you will be at it. And of course, the more effective you are the more money you will make!

I Wish You The Best Of Success!

Really great tips and advices. I agree with guideline #3 since I actually made my first sale online from a magic niche, not internet marketing niche. So exploring other niches can also be really beneficial. Anyway, thanks for sharing these useful tips.

Thanks for posting nice tips. Affiliate marketing is a very tough field according to me. Before starting there is a lot to read and understand it properly.

Hey Kelly, Don't let the notion that "affiliate marketing is a tough field" discourage you from taking action and making money with affiliate marketing. All the super affiliates that you may hear about started out just like you, from scratch!

Internet marketing is a skill just like any other skill. If you dedicate time to learn and practice what you have been taught then you can succeed! Hope all is well for you in your future online ventures.
