2) Act as a guide

As a publisher, your reader consider you as a guide for some specific field of knowledge. If you try to just sell the products, the game is over.

Try to behave like your reader. Your affiliate links should never look like an advertisement. Try to avoid image banners or blogroll links. It effects the search engine visibility of your site.

5) Make your blog attractive

Although there are lot of people who are selling without any website or blog but statistics say that people having blogs makes more sales. You should try to make an attractive blog which catches the readers eyes.

6) Have Patience

Most of the publishers and bloggers lack patience. They try to promote a product, after some 20-30 clicks the affiliate links, they gets nothing, they start comparing affiliate business with PPC. Calculation comes out to be 30 * $.30 = $9, gosh I lost $9 today !!!

Wait a minute, on an average 1 sale is made out of every 40 clicks and average income per sale is about $32. You were some clicks away from making a sale. Even that 30 cent figure is somewhat high, actually most of the bloggers gets a CPC of 10 to 20 cents. Calculation is far easy

In case of PPC

Clicks = 40
CPC = 30 cents
Total revenue = $12

In case of Affiliate

Clicks = 40
Sale = 1
Total Revenue = $32

So you are earning $20 more that is 166% more than PPC.

Try to target readers from developed countries like US, UK etc. As online purchasing pattern is quite different in developing countries. Due to ineffective piracy laws, people tries to get pirated products.

7 ) Try another affiliate programs

Even after lot of patience if you are unable to make money from clickbank, then there are lot of alternatives available to clickbank namely Commission Junction, Shareasale, google affiliate and a lot more. Even if you are not satisfied with affiliate business then you can revert back to PPC networks and that too have many options. Give a look to our previous article for this :-
