Clickbank is one of the larger affiliate marketing networks but for a long time I did not do much with them except for an occasional launch that was using them. I wasn’t particularly fond of Clickbank but that has gradually changed as I have found ways to automate them into my normal marketing.

Now I generate regular commissions and payments from them and a lot of it is done on autopilot. It started when I joined Daily Niche Ideas. Cindy provides a new niche each week with product ideas and PLR articles.

The key though is that it is free and I can offer it as a bonus for new subscribers and on download pages but each time she sends the information for a new niche the product links are to my affiliate id.

See I just use it as a gift and add people and let Cindy make me money on Clickbank. She followed that up when she joined with Soren Jordansen and John Merrick to create Clickbank Pirate.

This works similarly in that they have created squeeze pages and free reports that I can give away and again they promote to those people with my links. Now this costs but it does not take many sales each month to cover your investment. Once again I generate sales for products that I may not even be aware of.

I just sent people to a free report and let them continue to promote for me. Seems real easy doesn’t it?

Again I am only doing what I normally do to build my list and sell my products. I just add a bonus ad to my download pages. The idea is to make it automated so I don’t spend any time looking for products, sending emails and writing promotions but I do collect the commissions.

The final way I have started automating my Clickbank sales is through CB Tag Ads. Here all I need to do is add a snippet of code to my blog and it will create a tag cloud on the topic that I picked that matches my blog.

You can see it at work on the bottom of this post.

All of those tags link to a Clickbank product with my hop link. Because people expect to see tag clouds on a blog they don’t jump up and say ADVERTISEMENT. This generates more clicks and CB Tag Ads generates the tags and keeps updating to the most popular products within that topic.

You can set the topic so no matter what niche topic your blog covers it is easy to get related products.

So there are 3 ways to automate your Clickbank sales and integrate it into your normal process without spending the extra time to do all of the things necessary to set up a sales funnel. A few tweaks to what you are doing already can easily add more income to you with a few minutes of your time. Best of all it keeps on working after you have set it up.

Well it is the beginning of the Memorial Day Weekend here in the US and that is the start of summer around here. Now a lot of people will say how summer hurts the online biz but I have always done as well or better during the summer.

Probably because I maintained what I was doing and did not let others influence me that I would be wasting my time and money during the summer because everyone was on vacation. Keep improving what you do and you will be surprised at the results. Enough from the pulpit let’s get to the news.

Sunny Suggs of Bootscottin Traffic and a few other programs is enjoying her first day online working full time. She set a goal a year ago to quit her job and be full time and she did it. If you use traffic exchanges check hers she is having a huge party to celebrate with lots of bonuses.

This week we talked primarily about traffic. Still a bit more to cover in the business building series but really take a look at re-purposing content. It is a great way to really get the most from the search engines.

My good friend Alan R Bechtold launched his Will Work For Fun site. The special gifts ended yesterday but the book and movie are still available. Definitely worth reading and watching.

Cindy Battye released a new program Daily Niche Idea. This is a really good site as each day she reviews a niche, recommends a product to promote and if you upgrade sends the product to your downline with your affiliate link. She also has some great tools inside to tech you how to use and promote these products. Check it out.

Finally, Marlon Sanders added a quick start pdf to The Evergreen Traffic System. This will walk you step by step through getting from 0-100 hits a day or more no matter what level you are. Now it is very limited and I apologize if he has pulled it but The Evergreen Traffic System gets my strongest recommendation.

Thats all for this week. Now off to a graduation party and a birthday party tomorrow.
