So you might have picked up a book on affiliate marketing and they mentioned a place called clickbank.  You heard that you can make money promoting other peoples products and services.  Clickbank is really geared towards information products and software.  You can set up an account at clickbank here.  Once you set up your clickbank account you go into the marketplace.  Here you will find all different categories of products that you can promote.  A good way to find what is selling is to go into a category and then sort by the gravity.  Ones that have high gravity tend to sell more.  Now, that is a good thing, but sometimes it can also be hard too because of the competition level.  I would suggest that if you are starting a blog or website around a certain theme then you should probably promote something within that field.  For example if I was talking about clickbank and how you can master and sell products through your blog I would talk about a product that I reviewed and then provide a link to the product like this….If you are interested in making money with your blog then you need to read about blogging to the bank.  Try to pick products on clickbank that really are about what you are talking about, people want information and don’t really appreciate being sold to and in these times will see right through that.

Best would be to use the information product yourself or have some way that you have reviewed it.  But be honest when using clickbank products as people can also see if you are promoting something because it has a big payout.

That is basically why you need clickbank and what it can be used for.  I tend to wander off subject sometimes but I am trying to give you useful information.  Write me if you have any questions.
