7 SECRETS To Getting Low Refund Rates On Clickbank Sales!…

How To Build a Happy List.. The SECRET of Getting Less Than a 2% Refund Rate On Clickbank
By Guest Blogger – Robert Hawthorne, Houston TX USA.
My wife has a few products that she sells on ClickBank, and over the last few years I’ve been shocked at the amount of people who have requested a refund – It’s less than 2%.
While we had our coffee and scrambled eggs my wife so kindly made this morning, we did our normal thing and talked about her business, goals, directions, problems, solutions, ideas for new products, marketing, etc.
The conversation lead to the facet she had received a refund request from someone last night. I asked her how long it has been since she received a refund request and she couldn’t remember. She just looked it up and it was more than 100 sales ago. Looking back through her emails, it’s apparent that she has less than a 2% refund-rate.
The reasons I believe it’s so low is because…
1. It Solves a problem in a non money making niche. One of her ebooks has nothing to do with making money and is a product that helps people solve a problem they have. It’s proven if they follow her advice in her eBook that over time people will be able to rid themselves of this problem.
2. She over delivers - The eBook is Loooooong and is jam-packed with information – much more than the sales letter I wrote discloses. So when people download the ebook and all of the bonuses, they feel as they got a lot for their money – which they really do.
3. She provides a ton of information for free.
Between blog posts and hundreds of articles, she gives away a ton of tips, ideas, and how-to information. Those who read her articles and blog posts realize, “Wow, if she is sharing this much information with the public, I can’t imagine what the information in the ebook is like!”
4. She builds a strong relationship with her list. This is some basic stuff, but all of the emails in her auto-responder are VERY personalized. All the way down to one that I tossed in that a TON of people reply to… most think that the email was sent directly to them personally. People know that there really is someone behind the website and someone that really cares about them. Read that last sentence again.
5. She provides a lot of special offers to those who are on her list.
My wife now has 4-5 products that she offers to this list. Every time we launch a new product, we give everyone on her list a special discount price only available for 7 days before we go live with the offer to the public. This little technique has been very powerful.
6. Survey’s the list often. She not only launches surveys to learn what other products/services her list is interested in, but also to get a general feel for where everyone is at. Based on this information, I make tweaks on the sales letter to overcome new objections that we learn people have. This of course increases the conversion rate and helps future customers feel even more comfortable with their purchase.
7. She responds to all emails - Have you ever purchased a product on ClickBank and you sent an email to the product creator and never heard anything back? This has happened to me many, many times. Heck, it even happened to me last week and I still haven’t heard from the fool.
Most of the emails are “thank you’s” from people, and of course there are emails from those interested in the product, but have some questions first.
Can the email-responding be outsourced? Yes and no. Any technical issues, like download issues can easily be outsourced. However, that is a very small percentage
of the emails. The rest of the emails have to be replied to by my wife personally, there’s no way around it. Yes, that is extra work, but that little extra work is a large reason why the refund rate is so low.
I’m sure there are several more reasons, but wanted to share the few above that immediately came to me. Hope this is helpful.

3 Simple Steps to Find The Best Way to Make Money Online

3 Simple Steps to Find The Best Way to Make Money Online
By Keith Everett
Making money on the Internet is not as complicated as people would have you think. You see, if you make it complicated, you can sell people as many so called WONDER cures as you want and many will buy.
But one of the real problems of the whole “Internet Marketing Thing” is people tend to over complicate things instead of taking time out to wonder, or if even to ask themselves… is there a simple solution to making money on the Internet
Now, I’m not saying it’s EASY.. Easy and Simple, are not the same..
As with anything worthwhile, making money online takes effort. Consistent effort backed up with a plan, not a weak PRAYER… Here is my simple 3 step formula for making money online, take this advice or leave it.
I have spent many months over-complicating things, thinking that “If you want to make money, you must do as much STUFF as humanely possible. In fact, I’ve spent hours and hours just doing STUFF… some days, I’ve done so much STUFF… I’ve felt like my eyes could BLEED watching this computer screen..
Doing lots of STUFF, does not make you great at making money – it just makes you good, at looking like you are doing something..
So what is this MAGIC, secret formula.. well, it’s not magic and it’s cetainly not a secret, just common sense really.
1) Find a market full of people who have problems that they need to fix… do your research online to find if this same group, also spend money trying to fix the problem they have.
2) Find out exactly what they WANT… not need. People tend to spend like mad on things they WANT, much more than on things they NEED.
3) Sell it to them… that’s right – sell them what they want…
The more URGENT the problem, the better and the more they think about their problem during the day – the better..
Example:
A) An itchy ASS… not very URGENT… annoying yes, URGENT – NO!
B) PILES… Very painful, pretty urgent
A) Back Strain.. mild discomfort – not urgent
B) Back PAIN… very urgent, will be thinking about this ALL day..
A) A Tiff with a Girlfriend/Boyfriend – not urgent
B) Heartbreak & Heartache… very URGENT… a solution is Urgently needed
I think you get my drift. There are a million and one problems out there each and everyday. People are looking for answers to pressing, painful problems, i’m not talking about problems the doctor can solve, I’m talking about problems – you can solve..
So, there you have it: Find a hungry market, feed it what it WANTS… keep doing this and you may just have solved one of your own problems.. it won’t be EASY, nothing worthwhile really ever is.

How I Finally Made Money Online – My Back To Basics Affiliate Marketing Blueprint

How I Finally Made Money Online – My Back To Basics Affiliate Marketing Blueprint
By Mark Shpuntov
I feel like most people just keep on learning new techniques, new strategies, and new systems, and never end up making any money because they never stick to one system.
It’s not difficult to make money online, as long as you put the work in every day for 2 months or more. Here’s a blueprint for you guys to follow…
Starting over can be great! Get focused, and decide to put in the work and you WILL succeed.
Here’s a plan you can apply for your affiliate marketing.
1. Choose a product to promote. Let’s say from clickbank. I’ve used clickbank for many promotions, and I like the variety of products on there. Choose a product which fills a NEED. Something that solves a deep, urgent problem. I personally feel you will get better conversion if the topic/ problem is a painful one. (Versus just a hobby or something with weaker emotional triggers..) Think diseases, emotional pain, maybe something you or your family/friends have experience with…
Make sure the product looks professional, and the copy/salespage is good enough that you would buy from it. Make sure that you FEEL that this product would actually solve the problem it sets out to solve (Don’t promote crappy products, they won’t sell…)
2. Keyword research. Use google keyword tool if you don’t have any paid tools. Brainstorm different variations of keywords people might type into the search engine. Try to go for BUYING keywords, not RESEARCH keywords.
IE. Cure Migraine Headache Naturally(buying) VS. Migraine Symptoms(research)….
Dig deep, go for longer keywords/phrases. Look for a keyword that gets searched more than 100 times/day on EXACT match.
Check to see how many sites are competing for that keyword by typing into google:
inurl:”keyword”
intitle:”keyword”
Also search for your keyword without quotes, and take a look at the first and second page results. Notice if there are any Exact Match Domains.
Take a look at how many backlinks each site has (links to the page, not to the domain), and the PR of the sites. Use SEOQuake for this…(Firefox plugin)
4. Once set on the main keyword, buy an exact match domain. Buy .com .net or .org
If not available, buy domain with suffix. IE. MigraineCureSite.com
Get Hosting at hostgator. (Not the lowest plan, but middle one)
5. Next, install wordpress. Keep the default 2010 theme. Download xheader for free. Create a header and upload it to the theme. Install all-in-one-seo plugin on wordpress, and fill it out with your KWs.
6. Make first post on blog targeting your main keyword. This post should almost be a sales/recommendation post for your affiliate product. Make the post useful, share a story, but also make sure you promote and highly recommend the affiliate program that will solve their problem.
Make sure you add the links for the affiliate program in a visible place. Add 2-3 instances, and make sure at least one is right at the top of the post. Make sure you include your keyword in the title of the post. Also include the keyword in the opening paragraph, last paragrah, and spread in between. Also bold one instance of the KW, underline another instance, and Italicize another instance.
Add a picture at the top or middle of the post, and add an ‘alt’ tag with your keyword in it. (google if unsure how…) Publish the post, and make it a sticky.
7. Next, go back to the google keyword tool. Use the tool to gather as many keywords as you can that relate to you main product/keyword. Write them down in notepad and save it. These will be the keywords for your articles/posts.
You don’t need to research competition for these… Try to get around 100 keywords.
8. Sign up to Ezinearticles, GoArticles, Article Dashboard, WordPress.com, Blogspot, Hubpages, Squidoo.
9. Write an article around 500 words about your main keyword. Make sure you put in helpful tips and don’t be salesy in the article. Post this article to Ezinearticles. In the resource box, put a link to your site and use the main keyword as your anchor text
10. Write another article, same KW. Submit it to Go articles.
11-15. Write 4 more articles focused on your main keyword. Post these to the remaining sites, one each….
16. Save the URL of each web property/articles for further bookmarking/linking….
17. Use social marker to bookmark using only the top sites, book mark your blog and all of your properties. (Bookmark each one after you create it, don’t bookmark them all at the same time/same day…)
18. Get Angela’s + Paul’s Backlinks. These are profile backlinks, use these to backlink each one of your new properties.
19. Now that you’ve done all of this for your main keyword, start the process over for the next keyword on your list.
(Write 1 article – post on your blog – social bookmark – use backlink packet on the post url not on main domain)
The process is pretty much write article, post on property and link back to your site, social bookmark it, use backlink packet on it. Repeat for all different properties. Then continue on and repeat with a new keyword.
Don’t overthink it, Articles will bring you traffic so use them!
Spend all of your time creating content for every keyword in your niche, and you’ll end up dominating your niche and making great money!
Sorry if some parts aren’t clear, I was getting tired writing this in one go… I know I’ve skipped out on lots of details, but with this and Google Search you could pretty much figure everything out on your own…
I hope you guys benefit from this, don’t think too much, just take action and do the work. The whole point is that there’s LOTS of methods to make money online, but you WILL NOT make any money unless you commit to taking one method and saying to yourself, “I’m going to do this everyday until I make money with it. I will not stray from it, I will not stop until I make money with this method!”..
In reality, if all you did was write 10 articles each day focusing on different keywords in your niche submitting them all to ezine articles, and point the resource box to your site, you would be able to generate major traffic, and lots of sales!
WORK WORK WORK!!!

How to Become An Internet Marketing Smart Ass In 3 Simple Lessons

How to Become An Internet Marketing Smart Ass In 3 Simple Lessons
Keith Everett
Internet Marketing is NOT rocket science, you just need to break it down into a series of simple components. new people to IM tend to over complicate it so much, they just plain old give up before they get a chance to ever really get going:
Simplified:
1) You produce content, either your own, or you use PLR – Private Label Rights
2) You monetize the content – Google Adsense, Clickbank Affiliate Products etc, or you turn it into a product and SELL it.
3) You drive traffic to where the content is at: SIMPLE, why make it hard?
Now here are 3 steps to make you an IM Smart ASS!
Step 1) EXPAND the content you produce into several items of content. i.e one simple Blog post on my Blog can become
a) An article to be distributed through multiple article sharing sites
b) A Video that I share through many video sharing sites
c) A post on your Facebook fan page leading back to your blog
d) An audio recorded through Audio Boo, distributed to my Facebook wall & distributed later to my blog
e) A post on my squidoo lens
f) A post on my hub page
g) A post distributed to up to 42 social network sites through Only Wire
h) A post distributed to up to 80 sharing content sharing sites thorugh Pixelpipe
Step 2) Create FREE Reports, use some as incentives to get people to opt into your list and use others to simply give away with your affiliate
links embedded. Create the free reports from the content you have already written. Always include a link to your website/squeezepage.
Step 3) Develop content in a related niche. My main Niche is IM, however I do also write in the relationship niche.
My head sometimes becomes a content free zone and sometimes, I can’t always think of new content. This is where I always have a back up niche to start writing about. Once I have spent time producing content for my back up niche, my mind tends to allow me to start thinking clearly in my original niche again, and I’m away, producing content in the original niche again
I hope some of these ideas help
