Complete ClickBank Guide – ClickBank is NOT Dead!

wowhaxor — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:31:48 +0000

I am not going to fill this post with all kinds of garbage, save of course this paragraph. This method
is a complete start to finish system that encompasses everything I know and use to earn from
ClickBank. Lately I hear a lot of people complain and claim shaving on ClickBank’s part. I have seen
no difference, the problem is that what is hot today may not be tomorrow. I jump around between
products I promote the second they start to drop off – please bear that in mind when using the methods
to generate your ClickBank sales. That being said just follow my lead, learn each method and apply it to
any product you see fit.

Choosing a Product:
Choosing a product should be the first part of any campaign and is crucial. You want a product that
meets a few different criteria, most importantly the sales page and the product’s performance.
The first thing that I look for when searching is the product’s performance. You want a product with
high gravity and low refund rates. This indicates that a lot of people are able to make sales – and
recently – and also the back end product is high enough quality where you wont get slammed with
refunds next week (*cough* Forex EA *cough*). Many people argue that there is such a thing as too
high of gravity, they are wrong. Not only is other people hyping something up going to give more
publicity to the lead who lands at your site but saturation is relative. There is always going to be a
bunch of long tail keywords to target that will be low competition. There is always going to be a new
angle to throw at a new and untapped demographic. Pick out a product with a great gravity and very
low refund rate. While we’re on that topic you deduce the refund rate by looking at what the price per
sale is according to what it should be, if it is much lower then there are a lot of refunds, if it very close
then there are hardly any.
The next factor that we want to look at is the sales page itself. There are usually going to be at least a
couple of products in a given niche so check out the pages. You can run with a great presell
but at the end of the day it is up to the quality of the sales page. Look for good graphics, and a solid call to action.
Traditionally the site with the highest gravity will also have the best landing page but it is worth it to
check around and also to split test in initial stages of your campaign to see which one performs better.
You should also take into account if one of the pages plays more to a specific angle so that you can
switch between them depending on the long tail keywords you are targeting further down the road.

The Webpage:
This is a key part of my system. You will need one domain for each product, make it keyword rich as
we are not going to be going after type in traffic anyways. Something similar to the product name is a
good idea. This page is going to contain many elements to be used with the various promotion
techniques. Let’s just cover these real quick:
✔ TLD – the top level domain, or TLD, will be the root page (what you upload for the index.html
file). I always make this a redirect straight to the product, this comes in handy in a number of
situations where you want to remove a presell landing page and thus an extra step the buyer has
to take before he or she brings you a commission. Open up a new notepad document and put the
following in there:

Redirect:

Redirect
refresh” content=”0;URL=http://www.YOURURL.com”>

The contents you are looking for have moved. You will be
redirected to the new location automatically. Please bookmark the correct page at href=”http://www.YOURURL.com”> http://www.YOURURL.com

Replace the three URLs with your ClickBank hoplink for this particular product. Now save this
and then rename it to ‘index.html’ and upload it to the server corresponding to your domain.
✔ Basic onsite SEO and AdWords friendly pages. We will pump out some basic pages here, they
will include a ‘terms of service’, ‘contact us’, ‘privacy policy’ and finally a ’site explorer’. The
first three you can generate from free online sources (example search Google for ‘free terms of
service generator’) with just plugging in your website’s info. With each of these pages you will
link between the three as well as the ’site explorer’ page. These serve the purpose of helping you
rank better in search engines, especially when going up against a bunch of single page landers,
as well as giving you a boost in quality score (and thus lower bids/more display time) when
running an AdWords campaign. Your ’site explorer’ page will be a regularly updated index. It
will link to these three pages you just made as well as to each individual article that you place
on your website. We will get to a couple of great methods for getting 100% free articles soon so
don’t worry if your English is sub par. Each time you add an article it should also be its own
page with a longtail keyword as the URL, something such as makingcornoilfromhusks.
html, you get the idea. We will cover more on what these articles should contain when we get to them.
✔ Landing pages. You will regularly come across different presell angles for your product –
things that the sales page did not cover or do no focus on enough. As an example if promoting
Earth4Energy you may want to emphasize the fact that you can reduce your carbon footprint at
home without changing your lifestyle. Now although the sales page touches on this you can
make a lander all about it and really target more long tail keywords with less competition as well
as a whole other demographic as compared to those looking simply to save money. With each of
these pages you should link to your three pages above and the ’site explorer’ page in the footer.
Every time you mention the product simply link to it via your TLD redirect, this gives a clean
looking URL for people to click on. If you are horrible at website design it really doesn’t matter,
most good products have premade landing pages ready for you to just plug your sales pitch into.
A sales pitch needs to contain the problem, what someone is lacking which this product would
solve. It also needs to contain the positive points of the product, as pertaining to the identified
product. Finally it needs a strong calltoaction – a reason to buy the product; make the
customer wonder how they ever lived without it and make them buy it right now.
✔ Optin mailing list. If you have taken the time to build this website then I strongly urge you to
take it a step further and gather as many optins as possible. These are going to be niche targeted
people that you can use to make sales down the road. I will cover in more detail how to go about
converting these leads later on but for now be sure to put in an optin form on each article and
landing page. Promise something such as ‘free energy saving tips’ if promoting Earth4Energy, as
an example. I strongly suggest using Aweber as they have the best features and inbox rates but if
you are looking for a 100% free solution Bravenet offers this. That’s all you need to know about
this at the moment, I will cover in detail exactly what to do with this list later on.
That’s it for our website, as stated before we will be adding article pages to further ramp up our search
engine rankings as well as to target more long tail keywords which we can soft sell in our articles. First
I am going to cover two very black hat ways of getting as many free, and unique, articles as you can
find. Remember, this is black hat if you are a very ethical person then simply write these yourself or
pay someone to write them for you.
We are now going to do a basic promotion, beyond this our other methods will add backlinks and
content as they go so this is sort of a one time deal. The first thing I am going to do is to submit all of
my landing pages and my ’site explorer’ page to all of the top social bookmarking sites. I do this with
the free service from Onlywire.com; if you do not have an account go make one because we are going
to be using this service fairly often. This will provide you with about 20 or so backlinks and some good
bursts of traffic as well.
Next I am going to make some blog comments to get some more backlinks. Remember, always use your
name field for your desired anchor text and the URL field for your URL. Then make the body of the
comment link free and on topic with the blog post, this will insure your comment passes moderation
and stays up forever. Add about 10 of these links to each landing page that you have setup, this will do
for our initial promotion.

Get Unlimited Free Copyscape Passed Articles – The Black Hat Way:
I debated long and hard on whether or not to include this portion. The fact of the matter
is that it would be unfair for me to leave out any part as this is exactly what I do for my
ClickBank system. That being said if you are not into black hat then you can easily
outsource article rewrites or write 250 word articles yourself. This next part is optional
but it is how I go about it.
Articles are a large part of my strategy. I like them because once they’re up they are up and they
generate you passive sales. I also like them because you can target a different long tail keyword with
each one. That being said my general rule for articles is to place 1 in 5 on my website, the other 4 will
be submitted to Ezine because it naturally ranks very will in Google with no backlink building
necessary.
Anyone who has a lot of articles will make a lot of money, so let me show you how to get a lot of
articles.

Craigslist Method :
To begin you want to pick major cities, the top 25 ones, and post an ad stating that you are a Freelance
Writing company in – whatever area you are posting – looking to hire part time people to write 300 –
500 word articles at a rate of $10 per article. This should be posted in services or jobs if the city does
not require a fee for posting in the jobs section. Make the post attractive; be sure to mention that the
work can be done from home and on a wide variety of topics. Include an email
address as a contact for you.
Here is an example post of mine:
“We are hiring freelance writers to write articles for us part time. We are a media and content service
based in Baltimore who provides articles to online sources. Pay is $10 flat rate per every 250400
word article; topics vary widely and cover nearly every niche.
Workload is extremely flexible; write as many or as few articles as you want, paid immediately per
submission of each article. Great part time job for college student!
Please contact Linnea DeRose at Human Resources via Linnead@***.com if interested, thank you.”
You will notice that I use a domain name for the email,
this is not necessary but lends more credibility
than using say Gmail or Hotmail. You can setup an email
address with the domain you bought for your
website if you like.
Post this ad up, minor changes of course as Craigslist will flag you if all ads are identical, in all of the
top cities. You will soon get a flood of emails
coming in. Email each user back manually with a
generic email which reads something like the following, which is my actual email response:
“Thank you for your interest in our freelance writing position. We still have many vacant positions left
to fill in order to meet our current workload. To finalize you as a freelance writer we need the
following:
1. A Sample article. This must be 100% unique – we check the web for plagiarized content, please
exhibit appropriate English grammar, spelling and punctuation. Article word length must be
between 250 and 400 words. Sample topic: Save Money with Homemade Solar Panels.
2. Preferred payment method. We pay via PayPal, Check and Cash available for pickup at our
office.
Once you have completed your article and selected a payment option please email
me back at
Linnead@****.com so that I may have the opportunity to review your application”

That is all that there is to it, you will start having 100% unique and fresh articles poor in, the quality
will be tremendous as well as they are trying to get on board with you. If you choose to you may email
them back and tell them they “did not meet the strict standards of your company” or simply ignore
them. Ads usually will yield articles for a few days before needing to be reposted, with this method I net
around 50 articles daily in about an hour – Craigslist posting and email
responses total!

Forum Method
This is basically the same exact thing. Check out GetaFreeLancer.com or similar forums where people
are looking for quick private writing gigs. Make a post that looks much like the Craigslist one, it should
read something like:
“We are hiring freelance writers to write articles for us part time. We are a media and content service
based that provides articles to online sources. Pay is $10 flat rate per every 250 – 400 word article;
topics vary widely and cover nearly every niche. Workload is extremely flexible; write as many or as few articles as you want, paid immediately per submission of each article via PayPal. Great part time job for college student!
Please contact Linnea DeRose at Human Resources via Linnead@***.com if interested, thank you.”
Now all you have to do is wait for the responses to roll in and then reply back to them, in the very same
manner as before:
“Thank you for your interest in our freelance writing position. We still have many vacant positions left
to fill in order to meet our current workload. To finalize you as a freelance writer we need the
following:
1. A Sample article. This must be 100% unique – we check the web for plagiarized content, please
exhibit appropriate English grammar, spelling and punctuation. Article word length must be
between 250 and 400 words. Sample topic is Saving Money with Homemade Solar Panels.
2. Preferred Contact Method. To receive new articles we may contact you via email,
MSN or
AIM. Please choose a preferred contact method and provide details.
Once you have completed your article and selected a contact method please email
me back at
Linnead@****.com so that I may have the opportunity to review your application”
Again if this is too black hat for you simply write your own articles or hire an article writer/rewriter.
However, I make a good chunk of change off of articles and it directly relates to the volume of articles
that I have up.
Article Marketing:
Now that we have a bunch of articles it is time to make use of them. With each article we are going to
target a different long tail keyword, the text in the body should be close enough where just our title and
description will do this for us.
1 in every 5 of these articles that I have obtained for free will go on my blog. With these articles I will
link back to the ’site explorer’ page and the other three pages in my footer – making a new page for each
article. I will also edit my ’site explorer’ page to link to this article once it is up. I will make the URL
and meta title/description information target my long tail keyword. Many people do keyword research –
AdWords is great for this – but I personally get so many free articles that I just pump out long tails that
sound good to me.
Within the text of the body I will add a call to action at the end of the article. In the example we are
using of solar panel articles at the end I will add a line saying something such as ‘If you want to save
money at home on your electricity bills with solar panels but don’t want to pay huge start up costs then
check out Earth4Energy’. ‘Earth4Energy’ will be hyperlinked to my TLD which is a clean looking
redirect to the merchants sales page.
That’s it for my on site article usage. What this allows me to do is to add to the overall quality of my site
which boosts the individual landing pages on it. This also ranks these articles for the desired long tail
keywords and brings in traffic from these search terms.
Now, my remaining 4 out of 5 articles will go to Ezine. This is simply because Ezine ranks so well in
search engines that I can target more competitive keywords and still rank very well for them. In addition
this provides me with an opportunity to gain links to my website that I have setup.
Ezine is a bit more strict; your title must be somewhat relevant to the content. Because of this we can
target long tail keywords but make sure to tie it into the article. As an example if the article was about
‘the benefits of solar panels’ but you wanted to target ’save money with solar panels’ then you could
make your title something such as ‘Learn about saving money and other benefits of solar panels’. Your
description is also a great place to plug some keywords. Usually I recycle my title by rewording it 23
times using the same keywords I’m after. This will insure I rank for my desired long tail phrase.
Now what I am going to do in the resources box, the place where I leave a link, is to link to an angle
specific lander – more for link juice then anything – and also link straight to the redirect. I will put the
redirect first making sure to use a call to action that fits with my keyword/phrase, in this example ‘Start
saving money today with a cheap home solar panel.’ ’solar panel’ will be linked to my redirect. The
next sentence would say ‘ Learn more about the many ways you can save money at home with
homemade solar panels without breaking the bank on your initial investment’. In this case I would link
‘homemade solar panels’ to my angle specific landing page that I have built about the benefits of
building a solar panel at home to save money.
I now have an article that will either get someone to the product page or get them to my presell
landing page about the very thing they are interested in. This article will also provide a good backlink for my
presell landing page which will increase its search engine ranking and allow it to gain more natural
Google traffic.
Now is where Onlywire.com comes in again. Either these articles are targeting very long tail/low
competition keywords on your site or have the natural power of Ezine. In either case you don’t need to
spend all day building backlinks. Simply submit each article to Onlywire.com service and you have
about 20 decent links going which will put you ahead of the others who did nothing with their article.

eBay Want it Now:
Now that I have a website up and running it is time to go ‘pound the pavement’ so to speak and actually
seek out individual buyers.
eBay Want it Now is really a great little corner of the Internet for selling things to people. Here is the
very simple method of making some immediate daily ClickBooth sales off of this website.
I want it now is eBay’s marketplace which allows users to post that they want to buy something that
they cannot find. Then, sellers may respond via a form with the link to their auction. There is one fatal
flaw to this system that we are about to exploit the hell out of and that is the fact that they let you send a
message to the person who wants something’s email right from a form there; seriously, could they
make it any easier for us?
To get started you will need an eBay account and I recommend you make a new one for this because we
are going to be borderline spamming, although not really in my eyes because the person is, after all,
soliciting sales pitches on a desired product. Your account does not need to have a credit card/seller
abilities tied to it. Just create a new one real quick and run with it. Now head over to the Want it Now
website which can be found at:
http://pages.ebay.com/wantitnow/index.html
From here just run a search for ‘Sellers’ with a keyword that your ClickBank product fits. In this case I
am going to run with ’solar panel’. In order to send them a little message use the box that says ‘Ask a
question about this post’. If you try to actually respond it will require you to use an eBay listing but this
way you can put anything that your little heart desires.
A little tip – they don’t need to be looking for your exact product. As an example, if they are looking for
a solar panel unit then send them a message saying that you bought one and it ended up being really
overpriced. Your next unit you built from instructions and it only cost you $150 for a unit, the best part
is the instructions came with a full DVD walk through and list for acquiring all the materials. I got it
from YOURTLDREDIRECT.com (wont let you add active links so just do them like that).
So I have located a few postings for people looking for almost my exact product – which is what I go for
first before trying to steer people from other products towards mine as I did above. This method is
pretty easy to get near 100% conversions on because these people were actually already looking to pay
money right now for the exact product I am going to show them how to get for free, their credit card is
already in hand. I will send them a message that will look something like this:
Hey,
I saw that you were looking for some instructions on how to build a solar panel unit. Just wanted to
share that I tried a few sets and there was one that included video tutorials as well as how to get the
materials for cheap/free. I got it over @ YOURTLDREDIRECT.com Just thought I’d give you a heads
up, wish someone would’ve saved me from buying some junk the first time around!

See how easy that was? This method will result in an almost guaranteed sale because they are looking
for the exact product I am promoting and probably already had their credit card out ready to spend.
Who doesn’t like to get something that comes highly recommended as opposed to buying from someone
recommending their own auction?
If you have chosen a ClickBank product that doesn’t have any exact/close matches you can always spin
it, as mentioned above. As an example, people looking for a used French dictionary may be very keen
on some free French auido lessons. Use your imagination – the trick is to downsell
whatever they are looking for and then plug/upsell whatever you are offering to change their mind.

Yahoo! Answers:
This method is pretty straight forward and classic. I think if you have been involved with CB for any
period of time you probably already know it but it is still a part of my system so I am still going to share
it with you. Plus, there may be a few slight differences so I suggest you at least read this section.
The first thing to do is to create two Yahoo! Answers accounts. I suggest you make them on separate IP
addresses if you can, if not it is really not that big of a deal I just like to take extra precautions whenever
possible. We will call these accounts: Account 1 and Account 2 (yes, I am about the most creative
person you will probably ever have the pleasure of encountering).
With Account 1 you will make a couple of posts. The trick here is that Yahoo! Answers ranks extremely
well in Google so you want to make your title the phrase that a person would be searching for and you
are sure to capture a spot somewhere in the top 13 places. The other thing is you want it to also look
like a question so that users over at Yahoo! Answers don’ report you and get your question taken down.
For this campaign I will make 5 questions to start with all of which just popped into my head. Probably
tomorrow I will do a little keyword research (Google AdWords rocks for this if you have an account) to
see what kind of things get a lot of search traffic related to free business cards and I will post up a few
more questions. My questions today are going to be, posted with Account 1:
How to Build a Homemade Solar Panel Unit?
Where to Get Online DIY Solar Panel Instructions?
Where to Find Homemade Solar Panel Instructions?
How to Build DIY Solar Panels?
How to Save Money on Electricity at Home?
That was pretty easy. I suggest you put a line or two in the body of the question so that you don’t get
flagged as spam. Usually you can just reword the question again to be quick about this.
Now I am going to come back with Account 2 and answer all of these questions saying something like:

Hey,
I built my solar panels from the instructions that I found over at YOURTLDREDIRECT.com. Worked
out great!

Just a note here, obviously you want to make your answer match up well with the question that you
asked.
That was pretty easy. In a couple of days I will simply come back and log on to Account 1 and then
choose this as my ‘Best Answer’ which puts it up there for everyone who comes from Google to see.
One little note here is that each day I create two new accounts because eventually, if you make too many
posts like this, your account will be closed down. Having many accounts means that you will not lose
all of your posts if an account is closed. This is one of my favorite ClickBank methods because each
question/answer can bring in passive leads/sales for months on end with very little work. To help with
linking and also for questions on angles that the sales page does not cover well I will link certain
questions to my angle specific landing pages. This helps you get backlinks, helps make a more targeted
sales pitch and provides the opportunity to collect an optin email lead.

Marketing to Niche Forums:
A really great avenue for targeted leads is niche forums. Forums tend to revolve around a specific topic
so there are always going to be some forums out there that consist of your target demographic for a
specific CB product. In this instance I am going to target a few forums based on green power; down the
road though I may expand this into forums on solar panels, the environment, etc. Usually any given
product has a ton of niches where people that are spending their free time talking about something
would be very interested in a free product that matches up with this interest of theirs.
My forum marketing technique is a three pronged one. From very white hat to very black hat. If you are
not comfortable with the black hat then simply leave it out; it is not a crucial step to this method or to
my campaign overall but it does bring in a few easy sales.
The first, and probably best known, forum marketing strategy is to simply hit up Google and find some
forums that will be loaded with proper people for the offer that you plan to push. I am starting today by
signing up for three forums, this process will be repeated tomorrow with another 25 forums and continue like this daily. I choose to use new forums rather than the same ones to increase exposure on individual forums for the same reason I use multiple methods to promote a CB product in my system – diversification.
For this approach all that we are going to do is to edit our signature to promote the offer. In this case I
will make it read ‘DIY Green Energy Solutions’ as I am on ‘green power’ based forums. If I were on
solar panel forums I would pump the solar panel aspect, etc. Now I will, of course, hyperlink this to the
redirect page that I set up earlier. Be sure to get a bit fancy here, use some colors, make it bold and
change up the font. You now have an appealing, and very white hat/passive, advertisement for your
offer. All that is left now is to post in some threads. Here are the two types of threads to post in:
1. You want to post in threads that are very active/highly viewed. Always make your posts relevant
and never lead them to your signature – this will insure that your posts stick for long periods of
time to generate slow and passive sales.
2. Many forums rank well in Google so start your own threads. Something such as ‘Green energy
solutions at home’ and do a little post about solar panels and wind turbines. Now, when someone
searches Google for this phrase they find this forum post and see an informative write up by me
followed by a pretty link to click.
That’s all there is to it. I will make 1-2 topics on each forum and try to casually post in about 10 other
active threads and then move on to the next forum. I will now select two new forums for today, some days I will do more but since I set up my campaign today and this is kind of time intensive I will leave it at two. This time I am going to be somewhat less subtle with my advertising – yet not pushy either. I am going to find threads where people are actually looking for information on DIY solar panels (use search even old posts work well) and then I will post a
reply looking something like:
I recently built my own solar panel unit at home. It was WAY cheaper than having a professional come
to do the install and was surprisingly a whole lot easier than I had originally anticipated. If you want to
go this route and save a little cash you can check them out at YOURTLDREDIRECT.com.
The thing here is that this does still seem somewhat spammy so I will only do a couple of posts at each
forum otherwise you will get banned and these posts will have been for nothing. Not only do you stand
to turn the thread starter and a few forum surfers into leads but in the long term this thread will still be
visible from Google and others will bite on your CB product as well.
My final forum strategy is not for the faint of heart but really does work well, so well in fact that I have
actually purchased a tool for it for cheap. I am talking about PM, or private message, marketing. You
know that people on these forums are already targeted so you have a list (in the form of the forum’s
memberlist) of targeted potential leads ready to be contacted in front of you. Now all that you need to
do is get your message across.
The first thing to note is that, much like Craigslist, you are most certainly going to want to have a
backstory here otherwise not only will you make no sales but you will be reported and banned from the
forum. In this instance I have quickly thought up the following message which I will use my tool to
send – again this can be done manually but when you can message the whole forum automatically you
are looking at some serious $$ for very minimal time.
PM Title:
Hey!
PM Message Body:
Hi there,
I saw that you were interested in some ‘green’ solutions for power your home in that thread. I would
recommend you stay away from having a contractor do it – they really overcharge. I did this initially
but my second batch of solar panels I put up myself with the guide from:
http://www . YOURTLDREDIRECT .com
Hope ya like it and best of luck!
That’s it I will now mail this out to everyone, or if you are doing it manually spend an hour or so on it.
If you would like the tool I developed Mass PM Marketer to automate this, then head over to: http://
www.nouru.com it has a retail price of $27 which is not bad because you can make that on one sale.
That is all there is for my niche forum marketing method, just rinse and repeat these steps tomorrow on
new forums for more fresh short and long term leads. Also, if you are targeting niche forums and want
to work a different angle than the sales page this is another chance to link to one of the landing pages
you have built on a specific angle.

Free Blogger.com Hosted Auto Blogs:
One of the best ways to make long term and very passive sales is via niche auto blogs. I got started with
these quite some time ago for AdSense income and found they do really well with CB products as well.
This is because you can literally set one up in a couple of minutes, do one time promotion, and then
have this blog bringing in 20500 targeted visitors daily to funnel to your CB product or landing pages.
I eliminate the overhead by using Blogger.com hosted blogs without domains so I don’t have to pay for
hosting plus $5 a year for the domain – this really is very handy!
The first thing you need to do is navigate your way over to Blogger.com and sign up. You may already
have an account but you will want to create each blog on a new one due to the fact that auto blogs are
occasionally banned when reported.
Now create a new blog and customize it a bit. Be sure to insert some big links and presells for your CB
product before the first post and in the sidebar, this is also a good time to use all of those banners that
the CB publisher provides on their affiliates page which you thought would never come in handy.
Now go to ‘Settings’ and then ‘Email’.
You’re going to create a new email that will be used as your ‘MailtoBlogger’ email.
It should look like: yourbloggername.whateveryoulike@blogger.com. Under the emailsetting click where it says ‘Publish Emails Immediately’.
What you have now done is set up this blog, hosted on Blogger.com/BlogSpot.com, to automatically
post whatever contents come into your email.
Now you’re getting the auto picture… right? From here all you have to do is to get fresh emails into your inbox, easy enough!
I am sure you have seen a whole crap ton of people trying to get you to opt in to their various niche
related mailing lists. Like me you probably always stayed well away, while now you see that they are
actually good for something! The majority of these mailings lists actually send out personalized
lessons, with a subtle sales pitch only one in four or five mailings to keep you subscribed. Most mailers,
at least the good ones, created theses mailings themselves which means you actually now have not only
a good sized series of niche specific emails coming in, to be automatically turned into blog posts, but a
good percentage of the time it is valuable info that is 100% copyscape passed unique content! Show me
how even a paid auto blog can do that without rewriting to the point of obvious machine jumbled crap!

Now you will note that most mailings have a limited course. Because of this I recommend you
subscribe this blog to a new mailing list once a month. This will only take you about 5 seconds per blog
per month, you can even leave it with your 30 or so unique articles and it will continue to generate
traffic and income for years but really is 5 seconds that big of a headache? I usually jot down the day
that I started in a notepad document and then everyday head back and look for the blogs created one
month ago to add them to a new mailing list. I do 5 new blogs a day which takes me about 10 minutes
total to find quality lists for them all, use Google it is your friend! Note that while we will be doing our
backlink building as well as the blog’s title and overall meta description based around a long tail
keyword/keyphrase the mailing list can be from a much more mainstream keyword – it doesn’t matter it
is still relevant content to your targeted rankings in Google and is much easier to find mailing lists this
way.
You should have chosen a long tail keyword for your niche, this is because – unlike regular blogs – you
are going for volume rather than individual effort. Instead of a niche on ‘lipstick’ go for a niche of ‘dark
red lipstick shades’. What this will allow you to do is to conduct an initial one time promotion and then
easily hit page 1 of Google without ever having to work on backlinks again! For this sample campaign
my first autoblog that I created today is built around the long tail phrase of ‘tips for losing weight
without exercising quickly’, the competition is fairly low and it will most likely rank for a few other long
tails that are in that phrase as well. I use this as the title for the blog and open up the editor to add a
meta description tag for all posts where I can use these keywords a few times for even better results in
search engine placement.
Depending on your desired keyword your traffic is going to be targeted slightly differently. For general
traffic that fits the sales page simply promote the redirect. For more targeted traffic that fits in with one
of your angle specific landing pages promote this page (some more free backlinks – holla!).
All that you will need to do, with your microsub niche, for promotion is the classic 5 minute two step.

1. Submit your blog to the top social bookmarking sites with your long
tail keywords as the anchor text (the title of the ‘story’). Again use
Onlywire.com here. Use your KW in the title and description.
2. A few more links for good measure. Be sure to find 2-5
related blog posts and quickly comment on them. The quickest way to do this and
still remain not looking like spam is to put your URL in the URL box
only and to just read a comment, then reply to the comment like this:
@ Jim23 – I agree with what you’re saying about Obama but I still
won’t vote for him!

Boom! You got a relevant blog comment, with your link, that will pass
even moderated blogs!
Hope you enjoyed that, as you can see it is pretty simple. People coming to this blog from Google will
now see a sloppy ugly blog they don’t want to sift through and the only links around will be to your CB
product, so naturally with them being targeted visitors anyways they will go check it out and you will
make some passive sales.
Optin Mailing List:
Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about you should be doing with your mailing list that you setup on your
landers. By now you should have traffic coming in and people ready to get some useful tips to their
inbox. I cannot stress enough how valuable targeted mailing lists are, not only can you use these to
make a sale to those who did not buy but you have a list of people, in a niche, who buy CB products.
You can now market them another niche related product and even do joint ventures where you trade
with another person and market each other’s products.
So, you have lured the member to optinto your list by providing something free, in this Earth4Energy
example this is a report on how to save money on electricity around the house. What you will want to
do now is search for a PLR ebook on this; a simple Google search should yield a lot of free stuff.
Break this up into 300-400 word parts and set them up as a series to be mailed out every other day.
Include no sales pitch the first day. After this every other mailing include a subtle sales pitch at the
bottom of the mailing; alternate 50% between the product you are promoting and 50% between another
CB product in the same niche – this way you can get more sales from people that have already
purchased your original product. Remember, light on the spam – only include a soft sales pitch below
the content of your mailing list.
You may also approach other affiliates or publishers and exchange a mailing blast, you promote their
link and they promote yours. This is a great way to get some more free sales although you will need a
sizable list before anyone takes this offer seriously.

CL Marketer? Here’s a Little Tip to Make Some Extra Cash from Existing Leads!

wowhaxor — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:45:30 +0000

Now most of us that are into CPA are using Craigslist in some way, shape or form to collect e-mail leads and then mail them our offer. This is so you can get a little bit more personal, avoid looking like spam (which gets your ad flagged quickly) and lure the person in and get their interest peaked before you spring them with your offer. This blog post will show you how you can get an extra sale from a large number of your existing leads with a very minimal effort.

I’m not going to cover getting your existing leads already, you can find this in a couple of posts here and is fairly common knowledge. That being said let us just get to it.

Basically the idea here is that you are going to take existing leads – no matter what campaign you have running – and getting them to buy some anti virus software from you. This is not a new idea but it seems like a lot of people missed it and it brings me in quite a few extra sales so I thought I’d just lay out exactly how I do this – I run this with all of my CL mailing campaigns.

So you will do everything as normal, send out your delayed auto response with your sales pitch and make your sales on whatever product/offer you are running. For the sake of making this clear to you I will pretend that I am running a campaign to promote a CPA credit offer. So I’ve shot off all of my mails to the leads I collected today, now I’m going to harvest and save these e-mails for my next step.

I personally use Gmail accounts so I am going to link you to the free mail extractor I use, if you use Yahoo!’s then a Google search will probably yield you a comparable solution. I use the extractor from Vallery.net and save all of my e-mails to my desktop; next I’ll manually log in and delete all of the mails in my account to continue with my credit offer campaign. Note it will limit the number of times you can extract, luckily with Gmail you can simply ad ‘+numbers’ to the end of your e-mail and it will appear to be a new one (as an example change your address of wowhaxor@gmail.com to wowhaxor+56@gmail.com and etc.).

I will now go and create a new e-mail address, if you can afford a domain this is great because you will have a bit more creditability and make some additional sales. You will be posing as an anti virus unit of Craigslist, so a domain such as ‘clantifraud.org’ or something to make your e-mails seem more legitimate. If not simply choose a good sounding account and make a new Gmail, I would highly recommend a hosted mail though as you are only forking over like $5 for a method that will make that back with a deal of profit on your first conversion.

Now I wait about 3 days to send a mail (I will continue to harvest mails daily and date them on my desktop to be sent out after 3 days) this gives the lead a chance to first complete the original offer that you targeted them for. It is time to send the mail now, I simply import the contacts list into my mail client (gmail will let you import via .CSV if you went the free route as well) and send out a message to all of the users that goes something like this:

Dear Craigslist user,

Our records indicate that you may have been in contact with a website about a credit (replace with your offer) offer which was e-mailed to you as a follow up via a Craigslist advertisement on the 10th of September (todays date minus 3 days). Various reports indicate that this website is highly malicious in nature and has most probably infected your computer with a virus designed to steal and/or compromise your personal and financial data.

Since this virus is custom coded and very new most anti virus programs will not pick it up, the following three programs contain virus definitions that will detect and remove his malicious virus; it is highly recommended you use one of these programs to scan your computer:

Link1 | Link2 | Link3

Sincerely,

Craigslist Anti Virus & Fraud Department

Obviously the stuff in red is not placed within the ad but simply there for you to see where to change your information. In addition the three links at the bottom will be to three different anti virus programs that run through ClickBank. I provide three instead of one so it looks less promotional – these offers are great because they even pay out recurring commissions in many instances and are usually north of a $30 payout to you.

This method works great and with only 5-10 extra minutes of work allows you to turn your previous leads into a second sale, often even yielding sales from leads who failed to bite on your initial mailing.
