Money Schemes - Learn How To Make Money Online

There are some affiliate programs out there that have been flying below the mainstream radar for years. Take for example ClickCash.com, everybody has heard of ClickBank, how many of you have heard of ClickCash?
The ClickCash program has been running since 1996 and has paid out tens of millions of dollars to affiliates who help to promote the iFriends network. ifriends is an adult webcam service, it’s been around for a long time and is one of the most respected in the industry and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report, Forbes, PC Magazine and many more

How Do I Earn $50

Sign up on the ClickCash affiliate program. That’s all there is to it, sign up for free and they’ll instantly credit your account with $50. Even better, for every free referral to the iFriends network you make you get paid up to $80, now that’s one hell of a payout for a service that is free to join.

You may think that you need an adult related site to make money with this but it’s just not the case. You can also earn money by referring people to the ClickCash program so if you’ve got a website related to how to make money online then this can be a great earner for you to. There is also a large range of banners available, many of which are perfectly family friendly and could be used on most sites, at $80 a sign-up you have little to lose.

Like all the ways of making money online here, I don’t even mention it unless I’ve made money from it myself.

If there’s one thing I hate more about a bank holiday weekend than being covered in cat crap, it’s the dip in internet traffic that always happens. The UK holds one of the largest internet user number groups and when a bank holiday comes around everybody flocks away from their computers leaving us money making machines with less traffic and less revenue. This weekend just passed was no different, I noticed a significant dip in UK visitor numbers starting on Friday and continuing all the way through to Monday.

I make just about enough money to not have to worry about looking at may day-to-day earnings, I don’t have to but I still do though and yesterday I was getting a little worried! There’s always the thought that maybe this dip is permanent and it won’t recover, to date it always has (touch wood). It was then that I decided to check another one of my sources of income, more out of desperation than anything, ClickBank. If you read my post about ClickBank you’ll know that I’m not a very good affiliate. In fact I’m rubbish. This is a valuable lesson in diversification though, because when I checked it this is what I saw:-

It’s amazing what a $133 ClickBank day will do to cheer you up! From a dismal weekend to an OK one all in one go, just because I don’t put all my eggs in one basket. Let this be a lesson to you, multiple sources of income is the key. Even better, multiple sites with multiple income streams. That’s how I conquered a bank holiday weekend disaster and you can too.

Clickbank, to affiliate marketing what the God Channel is to the Christian faith. Love it or hate it there are people out there who claim to be mega rich through nothing more than being a Clickbank affiliate, so what I’d like to know is where am I going wrong?

My main problem with Clickbank is that a lot of the products for sale seem to be about making money from the internet, 90%+ of these come down to selling the same e-product you just bought (Great, now I feel like an even bigger sucker!) Even worse the landing page for these products tend to be sick inducing insults to the actual words “web page”. BIG text, black on a yellow background and the sort of marketing blurb that could only possibly appeal to mentalists all feature heavily on most Clickbank product landing pages. The other question I’d have is that if the seller genuinely believes for 1 minute that they have a product worth $60-$100 why are they prepared to give up a 75% cut on average to an affiliate? Commission Junction this is not.

Maybe I’m not evil enough to promote Clickbank products properly, or maybe I care too much about what people think but there are people out there claiming a six figure monthly salary from Clickbank? Don’t get me wrong, when I find something that I think people will find genuinely useful I’m not shy of including a Clickbank link (like my list of Surveys for example) and I’ve even made the odd sale. If I hadn’t made money from Clickbank I wouldn’t even be mentioning it here, I just wish people wouldn’t push the sort of crap they’d never buy themselves.

So these are my top 3 tips to being an honest yet poor Clickbank affiliate:-

1. Look at what you’re promoting, would you buy it? If not then don’t push it.
2. Check out the landing page before creating an affiliate link to it, Dear “Insert Name Here” is usually a bad sign!
3. If in doubt ask a family member to read the landing page, if you’re too embarrassed to show them it then don’t promote the product.

If it’s a product for a price at which you’d buy it and you don’t feel dirty promoting it then please go ahead. I normally manage 3-4 Clickbank sales a month bringing in around $100. Far from impressive but I have no guilt about the products I’m promoting if that counts for anything?

One final thing, people buying might be turned off by seeing a Clickbank affiliate link, it is normally recommended that you disguise the link (it will also stop people from stealing your commission). If you’re not techy minded then the following tools may help (these can also be used for lots of other affiliate schemes):-
