How To Make Money Online with ClickBank Part 1:Cloaking

I have been a member of ClickBank since 2005 and although not a
Million Dollar Round Table of ClickBank, I have some very well verified
observations.

1. After signing up and getting your affiliate nickname, the first
thing you must do is to get some cloaking software to make it more difficult
for someone else to decide to use their own nickname when they come across a
ClickBank product they want to buy. There are many options,but when I
refer to cloaking I am not referring to merely a URL shortening website
such as TinyURL.com or dwarfURL.com.

The first website that cloaks affiliate links that I have used is
ShortURL.com where you have the option of creating your own sub-domain
which completely masks the Affiliate site. For instance, type in
http://christmasgifts.shorturl.com and see what comes out.
As you can see it had nothing to do with Christmas Gifts! This ability
will cost you a dollar a year;not bad for such a valuable tool, but
remember that is per URL.

The second website that I used that cloaks URLs was ViralURL.com
from which you can make money as an affiliate, but that is not easy.
If you do not become a Silver Member you have to agree to have
everyone who is a Gold Member or above be able to send you promotional
email as if you are on a safelist. So unless you want to spend $17 a
month just so you do not have to experience a deluge of email,
then either get a Gmail.com account for it or become a Platinum member
and email everyone else,but that too is a little steep at about $39.95
a month. Another problem with ViralURL.com is that Spybot Search and
Destroy has labelled it as viral url and not in the way it would like
to be known as in "viral marketing". If you use Spybot to do malware,
spyware testing and removal,then your browser will be updated to make
it unviewable.In my case, I use Mozilla Firefox mostly,so when I want
to access my ViralURL account I have to use Internet Explorer which
is quite inconvenient. You can join here:
ViralURL.com.

Fourth,OffTo.net removes links to an affiliate program from the
vendor's landing page and raw & unique click tracking and the most recently
created links are shown on the home page. This gives other OffTo.net users
the opportunity to click YOUR link and see if they like what you're offering.
They also give visitors the ability to browse through older OffTo.net links,
giving you even more traffic potential.Also when you promote OffTo.net you
get free traffic, so join here:
OffTo.net For every unique visitor you send to OffTo.net, you are
guaranteed one unique visitor sent to you from OffTo.net. Your promolinks
will stay in rotation until you've used all of your credits. Not only that
but they also have a Forum!

2. The next most important thing is to subscribe to the
ClickBank newsletter so you know what the newest developments are at
ClickBank. This may seem trivial but its not. While you are there,
click on Marketplace and take a look at what are the most popular,
the $Earned/Sale,% Earned/Sale,Future $,Total $/Sale and % Referred
for all the Different categories you are interested in. You want to
create a mix of these programs in your advertising/promtional campaign
to be able to maximize your % referred,total sales and $Earned per sale.

3. Next,do not go to a major search engine and immediately
type in the program name. That's what everyone else does. Don't even
type in the name of the program and "exposed" or "review" because what
you are going to most probably get is a lot of cloaked promotional
websites. You you should do is to go to http://www.Scam.com and start
searching for problems with the program. These are people who have
already bought the program and have experienced problems. You do not
want to be associated with any program that scams anyone. If your
program is not found then you could check out http://www.complaints.com/
and Scam Reports and
Performance Reviews for any complaints. Then you are forwarned
and can go ahead with great confidence to promote with a good
conscience.

4. For the next step you will have to wait for the second article.
