Clickbank Surprised Me
May 31, 2009 by Arun Pal Singh · Leave a Comment
I have not been promoting clickbank products for quite some time. but I have seen clickbank stay the same for years together. It has been dressed in its trademark blue and offered a serene kind of picture. But recently Clickbank has become bold and bright. Gone is the serene blue and it has been replaced by excitement bright red, yellow and green. Even the logo has got new colors.
But it is not only the web site design that has been changed. The new interface is very likable and there are many new excitinh features available both to affiliates and sellers now called vendors.
I was more interested in affiliate features so I checked them in detail and found very interesting changes.
One of the things that I liked is HopLink Shield, a tool that encrypts the affiliate and vendor nicknames in HopLinks. This adds an extra layer of privacy and anonymity to HopLinks, keeping affiliates’ promotional efforts and techniques hidden from others. Read more

Affilate Products Are Good To Make Money
Affiliate products are the best way one can begin his online business. One of the common problems encountered by newbies in affiliate marketing is choosing the right product to promote. Almost every third product has an affiliate program. A beginner might get confused in this plethora and may not begin at all or gets stuck in the wrong product line, wasting time, energy and money.
Here are few tips that would help you to choose a good selling affiliate product.The best strategy is to find products that are
already selling well.
Clickbank
Clickbank is grand daddy of digital products affiliate programs.Search the ClickBank Marketplace to find products with
a good gravity score. Gravity is a score that Clickbank assigns to each affiliate product according to their secret formula. It has to do with how many sales and how recently those sales have occurred.
High gravity means that affiliates are making a lot of commissions on sales. Low gravity means that there has not been many sales at all. So the gravity is measure of how success of the product is.
A product with gravity score 50 and 150 is a good to start because it gives you a popular product that doesn’t have fierce affiliate competition. Read more

February 26, 2009 by Arun Pal Singh · Leave a Comment
Recently Aweber announced few changes in their affiliate program. They have added many new features and some of them are very welcome.
This change has been based on a recent survey conducted by Aweber and includes
All commissions will be raised to 30%.
Aweber has raised the commission it used to pay its affiliates. This includes existing 1st tier commissions of 20%.This means more money from your sales efforts.
Second tier commissions are being phased out
I do not like this one. You get hit badly if you are making a good money from your sub affiliate sales. apparently this has been done to meet Paypal’s terms of service and enable paying of affiliates via Paypal.
One Year Cookie
Your affiliate cookie will be a 1 year, first visit cookie. This seems to be too much as people are whining over it.
PayPal
This again is great move. No more checks in the boxes. Paypal would handle it now. All affiliates will be paid once a month, on the first of every month.
Minimum Payout
Minimum check payout will be $30.00 for US affiliates and $50.00 for affiliates not based in the US. I do not think there is much change here.
There are certain good fearures

Affiliate classroom is a paid membership site run by Anik Singal that provides training in affiliate marketing. The website aims at helpingly newbies mainly who want to learn about internet marketing
The membership is priced at $29.97 per month. the website also offers 14 day $1 trial. I think that is huge plus. The websites like this do not offer trials. This shows the confidence in the product.
After you go to members area, you find that user interface though okay is not one of the best. It is not very straightforward but you get used to after some time

July 7, 2007 by Arun Pal Singh · Leave a Comment
After all this discussion about info product creation we arrive at a commonly asked question.
What if I do not want to create a product or do not want to get it created? Are there any options available? Can I still do online business?
Yes! The answer is affiliate products.
Affiliate products allow you to do online business without rolling out your own products. In fact there is an army of affiliates over the internet doing business day and night.
And affiliates do make handsome money.
Let us understand the concept of affiliate products in detail.
When a company or person launches its product, it aims at getting maximum number of customers. To achieve this product must reach the maximum number of people. In offline business this is done through agents, franchises and partnerships.
In online business this can be easily achieved by affiliate programs. When you join an affiliate product you get your affiliate ID which can be inserted in the hyperlink of the product.
When a customer clicks on the hyperlink (with your ID included inside) the customer is taken to the sales page of the product. If a sale is made then you get your commission from that sale. Seller is happy and you are happy.
It is a win-win arrangement.
You do not have to create a product, the company did not do efforts for selling but both are benefited.
Affiliate products are a great way to make money. But a keep this in mind before you join an affiliate program-
An affiliate program should be free to join. Do not join a program that will charge you a fee to become affiliate. Sometimes you buy a product and get affiliate status as bonus. That is acceptable.
There are some programs which charge you a monthly fee for becoming a member and you are expected to recruit more for getting a commission. These are not affiliate programs but MLM programs. Such programs eat up a lot of your money before you realize. In such programs you sell a membership and your recruit is expected to sell the same in return. This kind of sale is hard and associated with high attrition.
You should get a good commission. Check the percentage offered. Good programs offer 30-60% commissions.
Choose an affiliate program that you would like to sell. If you are not convinced about usability of the product, you will not able to sell it convincingly.
Select your product carefully. High priced products seem quite lucrative due to higher commission but the market for those may not be that large.
One very important factor that is often ignored is your aptitude for the particular product. Select a product that you can associate your interests with. For example if you like fishing then a product that caters the fishing needs will be easier to sell than a selling a real estate product.
Again I must emphasize to study the market and demand for that product. Though the company would have done that already but there is n harm in little exercise.
Plan your market strategies beforehand.
It is better if you make your own website instead of promoting the copy of the original page laced with your link. Having your own website gives you a unique identification and professional look. The other advantage is that you can promote multiple products on the same page rather than promoting different pages separately.
Try and give your full efforts into promoting what you have got. Affiliate programs are good way to learn the market tactics. Learn and try them best to your abilities.
Stick with the product you have chosen instead of jumping to the new offer of some other product. New products are being released everyday but being new does not mean that it is better and easier to sell.
Here are few affiliate product centers that offer you a number of products to sell
Internet Marketing Center
Clickbank.com
Commission Junction
With this we end our discussion on product creation. From now onwards we would discuss setting up of your own website.
Till then.
