Today's Adventure in the Biz Opp Jungle:
'A BUMPER issue in which Charlie reveals the only GENUINE way to use Clickbank to generate up to £3,000 extra cash every month - an idea he basically stole and adapted, the cheeky blighter!'
Hi
If you've been offered an "amazing Clickbank opportunity" recently, then hold your horses.
Or, if you haven't got a horse, hold your dog. Or a small chicken.
Before you pay anything else, I want to let you in on the ONLY tried and test way I've seen to make regular money from Clickbank.
I'm talking a few hundred quid every week at least. Perhaps up to £3,000 a month if you get it right. And that's for about 4 hours of your time each week.
Oh, and, if you've never heard of Clickbank before - have tried it and failed - PLEASE don't run away. This technique doesn't require buying any Clickbank-based business opportunity.
....and you could this into a little goldmine, even if you're as computer savvy as a Victorian coal miner.

What they don't tell you about Clickbank
*******************************
The truth is, most Clickbank biz opps miss out on the crucial point...
Namely, how in crikey do you choose what affiliate products to sell? And how to you find the sort of customers eager to pay for these products through YOU?
Yes, these courses give you some useful tools. But tools and systems aren't worth a penny if you don't have a basic "business idea" that will attract customers to you above everyone else.
It's not a case of knocking up a website from a template then driving traffic to it. It's not as simple as that.
(I know, it never is, is it? But don't let this put you off!)
Most people who follow the basic approach of "build affiliate website, then pay for traffic generating system" get stuck, and poor.
They end up trying to sell a load of random products to
23 website visitors who couldn't care less and never come back.
But it doesn't have to be this way
Today I'll show you an easy way to hit on a killer business idea... something with which to sell hundreds of Clickbank products to customers who will THANK you for it and tell their friends... without needing ANY marketing knowledge or genius "eureka" moments.
But first, a quick explanation...
*******************
How to make a tasty profit
from best selling products
********************
Clickbank is a giant website with 10,000 products available for you to promote as an "affiliate".
The products in this site are 'information products'.... ebooks, courses, and part-works that provide the buyer with tips, secrets and strategies.
You don't have to do anything to sell these. It's all automatic. Clickbank will provide the products, the weblinks, the sales page, and deliver the product to your customer. They even take the money.
All you have to do is sit back and wait for your commission every two weeks!
Have browse on http://www.clickbank.com and see for yourself. Click on 'search the marketplace' and then click on 'products to promote'.
You'll see hundreds of sales promotions for ebooks on health, money, fitness, sport, debt relief, investment, personal development, career, computers
But how do you pick?
And how do you build a list of people who are eager to buy these information products off you... not just once, but regularly throughout the year?
Aha, VERY good questions, amigo. Come closer...
*******************
How to make Clickbank work
*******************
The secret is that you should only ever promote products in a niche (specialised) subject area.
Here's what to do...
Go to Clickbank. You'll see 9 categories: business to business, health and fitness, home and family, computing and internet, money and employment, marketing and ads, fun and entertainment, sports and recreation, society and culture.
My tip is to choose ONE of the following areas: Health and fitness, computing and internet, money and employment, marketing and ads, sports and recreation.
These are hot subject areas where people crave information and will pay for it, too.
Once you've picked your niche subject area, you need to narrow it down EVEN FURTHER. Search the individual products that crop up for this subject area and read the sales letters for them.
Get a feel for the different types of product. Look at what they promise and what needs and desires they fulfil.
For instance, in "money and employment" you'll see sales letters for Forex, home trading, getting out of debt, personal finance, business opportunity.
In 'health and fitness' you'll see weight loss, fitness, natural remedies, alternative health, sexual health, mind power and self-improvement.
You need to choose one of these 'subcategories'. Pick something that you feel you'd enjoy. (You don't need to be an expert, but it helps to have at least a vague interest or some personal experience.)
For instance, say you've spent your life on diets, perhaps you could try "weight loss", being someone who's been there and done it!
Or maybe you go to the gym but struggle with it, so 'fitness" would be your preference.
Say you've picked this last idea. Your aim is then to sell ONLY health products to an audience of people who want to get fit. Forget other types of product or other types of people. You don't care about them. You must now stick to your specialised line of business.
And remember, up to now you haven't had to come up with a single idea or product of your own! No marketing skills or "big ideas" are necessary here.
You've chosen your line of business and your target audience based on what SELLS on Clickbank.
**************************
Now to find those paying customers
**************************
To must now ask yourself: "Who would be the sort of person to buy the information products I've seen in my chosen area of Clickbank?"
Don't choose kids or young people. Your target needs to be over 40s, as they have the most disposable income. They've the most motivation to improve their lives, make a change, do something with their spare time now they're kids are older or left home.
Once you've got a specialist subject area, and a specific customer in mind, you've got the basis for a commission-based home business.
Easy!
The tricky part is to grow a list of customers and build a bond so that they will buy through you. To do this, you need to follow a modern email marketing strategy.
By this I mean a realistic way to gather hundreds of the kind of people who'll buy your products, and do so regularly.
Most Clickbank gurus say simply that you need to gather big lists and sell anything to anyone and everyone.
No.
For instance, you could have 50,000 website visitors, but they're no good to you if they're not buyers.
The whole point is that you make money, right?
So you need to build a relationship with an audience of QUALIFIED buyers. These are folk who are likely to buy and enjoy the line of products you sell. A mere 500 of these people are enough to make your business work.
This is the one big area I've managed to become pretty expert in myself. So if you're interested in how to do this - based on my ACTUAL experience, look at this:

For me, this was the "big one"
*********************
This is a complete step-by-step manual I've created based on my own experiences, and those of VERY successful entrepreneurs I've met.
In easy language, with no gobbledegook, I reveal how to use emails to grow a list of customers. A way of keeping in touch with them regularly so you can sell them your Clickbank wares.
I've got so good at it, small home publishing companies have even asked for my help in setting up their own versions.
That's because it's the cheapest and easiest way you can build the kind of customer base that will give you enough profit from Clickbank, or ANY commission- based product, for that matter.
I can show you brilliant ways to gather customers, gain their respect, and sell them products on commission without ever spamming, annoying or badgering them to death.
This is a real business. It takes a wee while, but it could last you a lifetime. And you don't have to give up the day job to do it.

"Interesting and straightforward advice"

I first released 'The Inbox Tycoon' last year, and hundreds of your fellow Biz Opp Junglers have enjoyed my step-by-step approach.
Like reader Kevin, for instance:
"I wanted to start by saying just how impressed I have been by "Inbox Tycoon," and how interesting and straightforward it is...It is always great to read straight forward no BS advice about starting business ventures - Inbox Tycoon is certainly that."

These are billion dollar ideas that I've taken (er, stolen) from a MAJOR international direct marking company.
All I did was adapt them so ordinary people can set up a smaller version of the business from home.
