There are lots of ways to promote Clickbank products with or without a budget. For now, we’re going to focus on the ways you can promote Clickbank products wihout spending any money.
Since we’re going to talk about totally free ways to promote these affiliate programs there will be no need to purchase web hosting, autoresponders, ppc marketing or any type of tools.
A bum off the streets could use these strategies to earn some money. All that is needed is an internet connection and plenty of time.
Here is one method you could use to promote your affiliate programs.
Step 1. Create a blog at Blogger.com
Choose a nice, clean template that where you’d type black text on a white background.
This blog serves as your website. You will use this blog as a ghetto landing page where you will have your main promotions for the product.
Create one blog per topic so that your visitors would only see stuff that is relevant to them.
For example, if you’re promoting a diet program, you wouldn’t want to include a make money program on the same blog as it isn’t relevant. Create another blog for that.
Step 2. Learn some basic Search engine optimization
Some tips to start with:
choose keywords that have at least 4 words in them.
Put these keywords in the title of the post.
Include the keyword once for ever 100 words of text you write.
choose related keywords for your labels and tags.
There are plenty of search engine optimization guides available on the internet including pdf guides, articles and videos you can learn from. This is very important.

Step 3. Promote Your blog site
Use forum marketing
Register with forums that are related to your topic and fill in your profile including the website link section. This gives you a link back to your profile from a related website.
Include a signature file that links back to your blog. This will be added to every post that you make and will lead to people visiting your blog. You can also link to a specific post.
One of the benefits of doing this is that you will also get some links going back to your site which contributes to search engine optimization.
Speaking about search engine optimization…
Use search engine optimization
We went through this before but that was called on page SEO. The type you want to use now is called off page optimization which consist mainly of getting links.
You can get links by leaving relevant comments on blogs with your website in the link field. These comments should contribute to the topic in some way and shouldn’t be something like “nice post. Thanks” That will only get your comment deleted which will waste your time and effort.
Another way to do search engine optimization and get links is…
Use article marketing
This is my favorite free way to promote Clickbank products. The side effect of this is that it also builds links to your blog and helps with SEO.
To use article marketing, you write short articles and submit them to the top article directories on the web with a link back to your promotion or straight to the Clickbank product.
Some directories do not allow affiliate links so this is the main reason why we have the blog. You can link to the blog where your visitor will go first before reading your review on the blog and then off to the merchant site.
Another way to benefit from article marketing is to cut out the blog site and just link directly to the merchant site with your hop link.
Sites such as Squidoo and Hubpages are my favorite for doing this type of article marketing and I’ve had literally hundreds of sales using these sites for direct article marketing.
