How to Sell Fast on Clickbank Even as a Beginner (Affiliate in Foreign Markets)

This article provides a comprehensive guide for beginners on how to quickly sell products on ClickBank as an affiliate, specifically targeting the international market (Gringa). The speaker shares their personal experience, having earned over $73,000 (equivalent to over R$400,000 BRL) through this strategy on ClickBank. They also highlight the success of their students who have achieved rapid sales. The guide covers essential steps, from setting up a ClickBank account and selecting profitable products to creating effective advertisements using Google Ads, even without speaking English or appearing on camera. It emphasizes the importance of choosing products with specific characteristics, such as lower gravity and unique product names, and details the process of creating a sales page using a simple landing page tool. The article also touches upon advanced strategies like optimizing campaigns and analyzing data for long-term success.

Creating a ClickBank Account

The first step for anyone looking to start as an affiliate on ClickBank is to create an account. This process is straightforward and can be initiated by searching "ClickBank" on Google and accessing the first official website result. Upon reaching the site, users should navigate to the "Start Here" option. The platform will then prompt for basic personal information such as country, full name, phone number, email, and password. After filling out these details and agreeing to the terms, the account will be successfully created, enabling the user to start exploring product offerings.

Selecting Profitable Products on ClickBank

Once your ClickBank account is set up, the crucial next step is to select products that are likely to sell quickly and profitably. The speaker advises going to the "Marketplace" section within ClickBank. Instead of simply picking the top-selling offers, which often have higher competition and thus higher advertising costs, a unique strategy is recommended. Users should filter products by "Gravity" and look for those with a gravity score below 50. This indicates products that are selling well but have less competition, making them more cost-effective to promote.

You should look for products that have a gravity smaller than 50. Why? Because if you look for these products that are on the cover here, normally these products have a higher cost, because there are more affiliates doing exactly the same thing. Now, if you look for products that have a lower gravity and still have a high volume of visits to the page, which will have a tendency to sell more easily, you will choose products that will pay less and you will be much more profitable.

Additionally, it's important to consider the commission rate, aiming for products that offer at least $10 per sale to ensure profitability. Another critical factor is the product's name; specific and unique product names like "Alpha Tonic" or "Neutonics" are preferable. This is because the advertising strategy relies on targeting individuals who are already searching for that specific product, leading to higher conversion rates.

To verify a product's potential, the speaker suggests using a browser extension like Similarweb to check the website's traffic volume. For example, a product displayed on page five of the ClickBank marketplace with a gravity of 17 showed significant traffic growth, with visits increasing from 22,000 in March to 44,000 in May. Furthermore, identifying the primary geographical source of this traffic (e.g., 98% from the United States) helps in targeting the right audience for advertisements, even without speaking the local language or appearing on camera.

Setting Up Google Ads for Product Promotion

The core strategy for selling products on ClickBank involves using Google Ads to position your advertisements at the top of search results. This ensures that when potential customers in target countries, such as the United States, search for the product, your ad appears, leading to clicks and sales.

Creating a Google Ads Account

To begin, search for "Google Ads" on Google and click on the official link. You'll be prompted to log in or create a new account. If you have a Gmail account, the process is streamlined by connecting it. Once the account is created, you'll see a dashboard ready for campaign setup.

Configuring Your Campaign

Within the Google Ads dashboard, select "New Campaign." The objective of your campaign should be "Sales," with "Purchase" as a conversion goal. For the campaign type, choose "Search," as this aims to display your ad when users type specific queries into Google. When setting up the bidding strategy, the speaker recommends starting with "Clicks" to attract a broad audience interested in the product, allowing you to set a maximum cost-per-click (CPC), for instance, R$10 (Brazilian Reais), though the actual cost may be lower.

Targeting and Language Settings

Crucially, deselect any "Network" options to focus solely on search results. For "Locations," add "United States" and select "Presence" to target users actually located there. Set the language to "English" to ensure your ads are shown to the relevant audience. These settings ensure your campaign is highly targeted and efficient.

Keyword Selection and Ad Creation

The success of your Google Ads campaign hinges on precise keyword selection and compelling ad creation. The aim is to capture users who are already looking for the specific product you're promoting.

Choosing Specific Keywords

Employing specific keywords is vital. For a product like "Eden," simply using "Eden" is too generic. Instead, combining it with a descriptor, such as "Eden supplement," creates a highly qualified search term. Another effective keyword comes from the product’s URL, like "Eden MD Plus," as this is often searched by informed buyers. To prevent unqualified clicks, use quotation marks around your keywords (e.g., "Eden supplement") to instruct Google to only show your ad for exact matches or very close variations.

Developing Ad Copy (Titles and Descriptions)

Your ad copy consists of titles and descriptions. Titles appear at the top of your ad, grabbing immediate attention, while descriptions provide more detail. Leverage selling points from the product's sales page, such as discounts, guarantees, or free shipping. Incorporating dynamic elements, like "fast delivery in {city}" (using Google's location insertion feature), can personalize the ad and increase its appeal. The speaker prepares ready-to-use titles and descriptions, noting that these can also be generated using ChatGPT. Even without English proficiency, tools like Google Translate can assist in preparing these texts. You can add up to 15 titles and multiple descriptions to give Google more options for displaying your ad.

Leveraging a Landing Page (Pre-sell Page)

An essential component of this advertising strategy is the use of a simple landing page, often referred to as a "pre-sell page." This page acts as an intermediary between your Google Ad and the product's official sales page on ClickBank. Directly linking your Google Ad to your ClickBank affiliate link will lead to ad disapproval. Therefore, a custom domain and hosting are indispensable.

Domain and Hosting Setup

The speaker recommends Hostinger for affordable and reliable hosting and domain services. They suggest choosing a "Premium" or similar plan for 12 months, which costs approximately R$203 (Brazilian Reais). Using a coupon code like "Bruno Matos" can further reduce this price to R$183. After acquiring hosting and a domain, you'll need to set up WordPress on your domain, which Hostinger typically provides guidance for.

Creating the Pre-sell Page with Super Prcel 4.0

Within WordPress, install a plugin called "Super Prcel 4.0" (the link to which will be provided in the video's description). Once installed and activated with its license, navigate to the plugin's section in your WordPress dashboard. Here, you can create a new pre-sell page. You'll input the product name for the page title and address, select "cookies pre-sell" as the page type, and most importantly, paste your ClickBank affiliate link into the designated field. Ensure the page language is set to English. This tool automates the creation of a clean, compliant landing page in seconds, saving significant development time.

This pre-sell page will typically include a privacy policy notice. When a user clicks anywhere on this page, they are redirected to the official product sales page via your affiliate link. This setup ensures that your Google Ads comply with platform policies and helps track conversions effectively.

Budgeting and Campaign Monitoring

After all configurations are set, the final steps involve defining a daily budget and understanding how to monitor your campaign's performance.

Setting a Daily Budget

In Google Ads, you can set a custom daily budget to control your spending. The speaker suggests starting with a modest budget, like R$50 (Brazilian Reais) per day, especially for beginners. This limits your financial exposure and allows you to gain experience. Remember, you only pay when someone clicks on your ad; if no one clicks or searches, you pay nothing. This provides flexibility and control over your investment as you learn the ropes of affiliate marketing.

Review and Publication

Google Ads will present a summary of your campaign and check for any errors before publication. It's normal to see some recommendations or alerts, which don't always require immediate action. Once "Publish Campaign" is clicked, your ad goes into review, typically taking 1-2 days, though often approved within hours. During this period, the ad isn't live yet, but the system is ensuring compliance.

Post-Publication Optimization

Simply launching a campaign isn't enough for sustained success. The speaker emphasizes the need for ongoing optimization. This includes "negative keywords" to avoid unqualified clicks and using "ad extensions" to make your ad larger and more visible. Crucially, analyzing data that comes in from your campaign allows you to make informed decisions and optimize for better performance and profitability. This continuous process of monitoring and adjustment is key to excelling in the affiliate marketing space.
