Clickbank Affiliate Marketing

Good Clickbank/Affiliate Marketing guide?
I’ve seen a lot of products for making money using affiliate marketing via Clickbank, but I’m not sure what is the best one, or if any of them are even worth trying. Suggestions? (preferably ones you’ve actually used).
Oh, and don’t try to advertise any crap to me. I know how to check for a hoplink and stuff. I’m looking for a legitimate answer.
Hey Zach,
What most people will not tell you is that affiliate marketing is really hard. And there are two main reasons for that:
1. You probably don’t have an email list. If you’ve got your own list, it’s easy. Without that, it’s very difficult, because…
2. There’s lots of competition. When you’re promoting other people’s products, you’re not the only one promoting them. So you’re competing with all the other affiliates for keywords, ranking, etc.
I don’t really have any resources to recommend for you to learn how to get into it, but I will tell you that the one thing that will set you apart from the rest is effective preselling.
If you focus developing great content that’s actually useful to people and mix in some affiliate links, you’ll have a lot better results than if you just try to pitch and promote affiliate products.
And by providing value to others you create a resource that will be shared, revisited and used. I’d recommend using a blog to manage this content and then sometimes – not always – linking to affiliate products inside the blog posts.
I hope that helps.
