ClickBank is a huge source of digital products. It distributes products on behalf of over 10,000 merchants.

Merchants like ClickBank! For a very small charge per sale, ClickBank operates affiliate schemes for merchants and handles their customers' credit card transactions.

ClickBank is also great for affiliate marketers. It's easy to set up a free ClickBank account and start promoting any products you choose using your special ClickBank "hoplink" for the products. Most merchants pay at least 50% commission, so it won't be long before the money starts to pour in to your ClickBank account.

There's nothing to it, is there? Sorry, but yes there is! Unless you're going to follow the example of most people trying to sell ClickBank products and making little or nothing for their efforts, you'll need to avoid the common mistakes that they make.

Promotion techniques such as putting banner ads on a website or adding affiliate links to either email and forum posting signatures, are not enough to convince people to buy anything through your ClickBank affiliate link.

But there is a better way, and it's a technique which I've been using for a while. You'll need to devote some time to it, but your time should be well rewarded.

Writing Review Pages

Product review pages are simply web pages which express opinions about a product. For this technique to work, your review should "pre-sell" the product - to get people to want the product before they visit the merchant's sales page though your link.

An increasing number of people, before they buy something, do a little research to find reviews of that product. They'll type something like "review + product name" into Google. You can see for yourself how many reviews there are for a product by doing just that.

Unfortunately, many people, even though they realise the benefits of review pages, still make elementary errors.

Refining Your Product Review Page

1) Your review should not be full of glowing praise for the product. Instead, make a few minor criticisms of the product - which are, of course, outweighed by the benefits of the product.

2) Remember that you're not aiming to "sell" the product. Leave that job to the merchant. What you should convince visitors to your review page is to really want that product. Then you want them to click through your affiliate link to go to the merchant's sales page with their credit card in front of them!

3) Avoid using any of the "copy" on the merchant's sales page. People will lose confidence in your review if they find that you've copied chunks of the sales page.

4) Write as if you have used the product. And if you haven't used it, you really shouldn't be writing a review! Many merchants will send you a free copy of a digital product if you say that you are writing a review.

5) If there are other competing products, write a "comparative review". In this review you'll be comparing the product you're promoting with other less satisfactory products. If you use a "star rating system" (and I suggest that you do), your main product will, of course, rank higher than the others!

I hope that you've gained some good ideas from this article, and that it will help you to improve your ClickBank income. You'll find it even easier to promote ClickBank products by using the tools included in my ClickBank ToolKit.
