First, no matter what, you need the ability to find quality Clickbank products. Without proven sellers there is no sense dumping money or effort into marketing. You can use the Clickbank Marketplace to find products, but better than that I recommend a third-party search analysis tool. A third-party tool will give you access to sale's history, gravity, refund rates and help you better track product sales week by week.



Okay, so for this article, let's say you've found a product, it converts, you're doing all the standard forms of internet marketing, cost-per-click, impression advertising, eBook marketing, newsletter marketing, forum posting, video marketing, etc. etc.

But you need to find another revenue stream.

How about OFFLINE advertising? No doubt some of you don't even know what that means anymore. I know offline doesn't register much weight with me, but with the rise of online advertising, offline is getting cheaper and cheaper. Why not build a stand-alone website for the product you're promoting and buy newspaper classified advertising.. .? Newspapers are getting killed by sites like Ebay and Craig's List. They're practically giving away classified advertising. If that works, why not try a radio advertising campaign? Did you know you can buy radio, newspaper and television advertising through Google? Maybe you just experiment with your local market and see how it goes before you a expand to a regional or national campaign. No matter what, make sure your marketing sizzles... and if you need help creating your media, not to worry. A simple Google search will provide you with a plethora of low-cost services that will help you create your radio, TV or print ad.

In no way do I think the new marketer should try this. This is for the expert only who has a budget to work with. If you're just getting started, work your way up to experimenting with offline advertising. But you rarely see Clickbank marketers going offline and that's not because it doesn't work, it's because they have an online-only mindset, but I can guarantee there is major potential in this medium if you explore it.
