Forum Marketing - An Easy and Effective Way to Increase Clickbank Sales and Revenue

By Sarah Celeste

This Clickbank marketing method is for the affiliate that doesn't have extra money to invest, but still wants to make money online with Clickbank. First, you need to find quality products to promote. You can use the Clickbank Marketplace to find products, but I personally recommend a third-party product and analysis search tool that provides more product data and multiple ways to search the Clickbank Marketplace for products that convert into sales. You need to find products with a solid sales history, low return rate and a decent gravity. I link to this search tool at the bottom of this article. They have a free version that works just great.

Once you've found a product you want to promote you need to follow these easy steps to start earning revenue:

Step 1: Bring up Google or MSN.

Step 2: Find subject category. What subject matter does your product fall under? Let's say it's a product that helps people catch cheating husbands or wives. So your topic becomes Catch Cheaters.

Step 3: Using Google or MSN to search for a forum where this subject is being discussed. To find forums for this example type in phrases such as:

-"Catch Cheaters Community"

-"Catch Cheaters Forum"

-"Catch Cheaters Message Board"

-"Catch Cheating Spouse Forum"

-"Catch Cheating Husband Forum"

-"Catch Cheating Wife Forum"

There are many search combinations you can try. Some will yield more results than others.

Step 4: Once you've found the forum now make sure the forum is active. You want to see thousands of posts and members. You want to check posting dates to make sure the forums are getting daily activity. Don't waste your effort on low-activity forums.

Step 5: Select just one forum to start and sign up. Later you can broaden your efforts by posting on multiple forums.

Step 6: Once your account is set up create a signature file. This will be a link to the product you are promoting. Put your affiliate link directly in or use a hoplink cloaker like TinyURL. Every post you make will have your signature file below your posting.

Step 7: Start posting. Word of wisdom: Don't spam the forum. Provide solid posts with real substance, become a part of the community. Build rapport. People will like and trust you and you'll start to garner clicks and sales. It's amazing how well it works if you do it right.

Step 8: Once you've become an active member of the community get clever by starting key phrase loaded topics. Don't be blatant in keyword stuffing your topics. But forums tend to rank high on Google results. People that are not part of this community will turn up forum threads during the searches and some will see the link in your signature file and you will begin to pick up sales.

Step 9: Get paid. Receive Clickbank checks and deposit them in your bank account. My favorite part.
