Quick Clickbank Affiliate Tip

Do you sell affiliate products on clickbank?  This will make you money:

1. Goto clickbank, click on reporting.

2. Download the past three months data.  This will include customer email addresses.

3. Goto icontact.com and sign up with them.  Great service with awesome deliverabilty.  AND they let you upload emails.

4. Upload your clickbank email addresses, and broadcast them an affiliate offer. 

5. Should make you a mint... and you can get easier than that.

Also:

Make sure you are downloading your clickbank activity every three months.

They delete the data after a 3 month period...

(The reason this rocks so hard, is you can send emails to your AFFILITE customer list, not just your regular customer list).

NOTE:  I have no clue how this works with CAN-SPAM or iContacts TOS.  Just had the idea and thought it was cool ;)  So you might want to look into that first...

NOTE 2: Some of you were wondering how I have used this.

Well, here is the "white hat" way I've used it in the past (and what made me think about this, I didn't get the idea from the warrior forum).

Let's say I have a list in aweber about Product A.

I find a product on clickbank, that isn't EXACTLY the same, but I think my market might be interested in it.

I'll email the Product A list, and send them an affiliate link to Product B.

Then, I goto clickbank, download the customers who bought Product B, and add upload them to a new list devoted just to "Product B".

Then find other products that I might be able to sell the Product B list... rinse and repeat.

This is the "white hat" version, because I already have permission to email the people who bought Product A.

this is jut brilliant. is it a bit spammy to add them to a list and start blasting em tho?

[Trey]

lol @ widgetwomen.

Good point, Moles, I updated the post...

[moles remove]

have you actually done this yet Trey? The idea is KILLER.

[Rosie]

That's so cool. Thanks Trey for a great tip!

Nice idea, but kinda edging towards being spamming ... buuuuuut ...

If you don't have people signup to an autoresponder on your thank you/download page, amend the page to tell them for their convenience you'll be adding them to the Update List so they won't miss out on any cool stuff.

Then every 2 weeks/month, downloading customer details from Clickbank, organize into separate files according to product, create list for each product in iContact or whatever you're using and then upload.

Not quite as dodgy ...

But I prefer to have the opt-in form on the thank you page.

If I get a chance, I'll record a video showing how I do it and send it to Trey.

Cheers

Nick :)

This was originally posted to the Warrior Forum (by someone else) but it's a good idea.

Ok, I updated the post again to address the SPAM issue. Here's a white hat way of doing this that I've done in the past.

[Dan Joseph]

Your "whitehat" method is a good way to segment your list based on customer activity (their purchases).

However, I would highly recommend comparing email addresses that someone lists in Clickbank with what you have for them already in Aweber. That way you're not adding other email addresses that you haven't explicity received permission to send to.

Also, by keeping both lists in Aweber, it makes things easy. They have the feature which allows someone to opt out of "all lists" with you. Keeps you from having to manually opt them out of the second list you added them to.

umm, just cos they bought from you does NOT give you permission to email them UNLESS they give you EXPRESS PERMISSION to contact them. Otherwise it IS spamming them.

In other words you are not allowed to contact past customers unless they give you permission to do so!
