ClickBank Pirate, a new service to make affiliate marketing using ClickBank products much easier, has been announced by it’s creators, Cindy Battye of Australia and Soren Jordansen of Denmark.

Earn faster affiliate commissions via ClickBank with the new ClickBank Pirate

Until now, affiliate marketers who wanted to properly market ClickBank products had two choices – either fight for affiliate scraps with the majority of other ClickBank affiliates, e-mailing, tweeting and blogging about the products and hoping to send enough targeted traffic to the merchant’s site to earn decent commissions.

Super-affiliates, in the top level of affiliate marketing, knew better. Top product creators are almost never great marketers, meaning the merchant’s salespages almost always leave a lot to be desired – and conversion rates of traffic-to-sales is usually fairly low as a result. So super affiliates create, or outsource the creation of powerful pre-sale materials to ‘warm customers up’ to the product before they hit the salespage.

Taking it a step further, they’ll usually commission a small report to use as an ‘ethical bribe’ – the term given to resources given away free to entice targeted prospects to opt-in to the affiliate’s e-mail list. This then gives the affiliate a number of opportunities to give the prospect more information about the product and the area of interest, positioning themselves as an expert on the subject. Of course, it also gives them that many more times to show the potential buyers the product in question, then move them along to the next related product after that.

Realising that newer, less experienced affiliate marketers wouldn’t be able to do all that themselves, ClickBank pirate is designed to take care of that – they’re creating that entire promotional back end for various ClickBank poducts their members can promote. Even better than just handling the technical end of it all, ClickBank Pirate also frees up a lot of time for the affiliates, letting them focus just on the actual marketing end of the business – which hopefully will produce higher sales and a faster start to the affiliate ommissions rolling in through ClickBank.

The CB Pirate service is set to start taking members on Tuesday (August 4th, 2009), launching at 10am EST. If you’re reading this before they open the doors to affiliates, you can get ClickBank Pirate info here. If, on the other hand, they’ve already launched by the time you see this, just go straight to the ClickBank Pirate website.

If you’re already into affiliate marketing, or want to make money online full or part-time, you owe it to yourself to check out ClickBank Pirate right now – as a super-affiliate I’ve already had access to the members area of the site, and I can honestly say it’s a great resource.

Clickbank is a service that connects people who are trying to sell products (merchants) with those who wish to buy (customers) or promote them (affiliate marketers). It sounds like a simple enough concept but there are plenty of competitors that fail to measure up to the successful business plan offered by Clickbank.

There are many ways to make this service work for you. Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that Clickbank is the best and largest service of its kind on the web today. Clickbank is currently home to more than 10,000 digital products and adding to their listing of products each and every day.

So, how does ClickBank work?

Clickbank is essentially a database of digital products being offered for sale. It connects those wishing to sell these products with publishers that are willing and eager to promote these products for a percentage of the proceeds. In addition, Clickbank introduces product creators to buyers who are willing to make the purchase of their products directly from Clickbank.

Clickbank works because it is built on a platform that works. Everyone gets paid, the products get delivered, and everyone is able to benefit from the experience. Clickbank is proud that in 10 years they have never been late on a merchant payment or affiliate commissions. When you consider the sheer volume of transactions that are made on a daily basis through the Clickbank marketplace this is not an accomplishment to be taken lightly.

It is now possible to also handle recurring billing memberships through the Clickbank marketplace in addition to the countless one time purchases that can be made. It is possible to offer up to 500 products per Clickbank account. This can bring in a great amount of money if you offer a few quality products that invite recurring billing or for affiliates who promote products with recurring billing.

More importantly, Clickbank handles the finances leaving you to focus on product creation or promotion. Product creators do not need to worry over affiliate payouts. Instead, Clickbank handles the details and allows you to do what you do best rather than wasting valuable time and resources trying to create a platform that takes payments, delivers products, issues refunds when needed, and pays affiliates who have made sales of your products.

All of this is done for a fraction of the total price of the products sold. It seems like such a small price to pay in light of all the benefits that doing business through Clickbank presents. Check it out today and see what Clickbank has to offer – it’s an amazingly powerful affiliate marketing resource!

Clickbank is a unique and valuable service that connects people with products to sell to those who have an audience that might be interested in purchasing those products. Clickbank goes far beyond this simple explanation though.

If you need a platform for selling online, Clickbank is almost the perfect solution. The reason is simple, it provides this platform, manages the money, and also allows product creators the opportunity to present their products to a large pool of retailers online that are more than willing to sell the products for them.

Product creators can leave the difficult aspect of managing the sales of their products to Clickbank so that they can get back to what they do best, creating new products. They even handle affiliate payments for you. This is truly the no muss no fuss way to sell your information products online.

For affiliates, Clickbank presents a world of opportunities. Perhaps the biggest benefit of Clickbank is that you do not need to own your own website in order to promote these products. You can promote them on your blog, a Squidoo lens, and countless other formats. In other words, it is not necessary in this instance, to spend money in order to make money.

There are more benefits though that are well worth mentioning. Clickbank doesn’t force you to apply to represent specific retailers. This means that there are no waiting periods. You can immediately begin promoting the Clickbank products of your choice.

Another great benefit when it comes to promoting products that are being sold on Clickbank is the fact that advertisers on Clickbank aren’t going to drop you as an affiliate simply because you have a dry month of two without sales. Many of the other affiliate programs you run across online will drop you at the first sign that you aren’t producing for them. You really can’t afford to take a month or two off if you want to continue the relationship. This is not the case when it comes to Clickbank.

In a world of real and virtual products it is great to have a source of income like Clickbank no matter what side of the product you are on. Whether you need a little extra exposure for your products or have a list of people that are looking for great products recommended by you there are many opportunities to make money by selling on or for Clickbank.
