There are many ways we use to make money online from our free and self hosted blogs like Google Adsense Widgets, in-text advertising options like Kontera or Infolinks, paid blogging websites like ReviewMe, PayPerPost, selling text & banner ads, product selling through affiliate websites like Amazon, Commission Junction, LinkShare, ClickBank etc.
It was around one year back, when I created an account with ClickBank (CB) which is a marketplace for selling and buying digital products in various categories. CB has thousands of products added focusing different kind of problems and their solutions. I decided to promote other people product through ClickBank and make some money because I don’t have time and resources to create a product of my own and sell that through CB marketplace. It is always better to sell other people product if you cannot create a product of your own.
I did not manage to give much time for promoting ClickBank products. So far I tried promoting 4-5 CB products only. And with most of products, I created blogs around them and just forget about them. Bu still sales are continuously coming in my ClickBank account for those products. In the last one year I managed to make $1350 (approx) with ClickBank with little efforts. I don’t think this is a big money, but can be used as additional revenue stream. But if you have some spare time, you can earn much more than what I’m able to earn. Here are some steps that you can follow to make money online with ClickBank using free blogs from Blogger.com (Blogspot):
Account creation on ClickBank
If you don’t have an account on ClickBank by now, create one immediately to start making some money by selling products that ClickBank have. If you are aiming at making money through ClickBank (CB) selling your own product, sign up a Vendor. And in case you don’t have your own product to sell, you can still make some money by promoting other people’s submitted products. Click on this link to create an affiliate account on ClickBank.
Once you have successfully created an affiliate account with Clickbank, browse CB marketplace to find some products in a niche you are most interested in promoting. In the beginning you can start with one product only which interest you and have decent payout. Now spend some time understanding that product because you must have some knowledge about the product you are going to promote and write about.
Account Creation on Blogger.com (Blogspot)
Once you have decided a product and studied that product, its time to create a blog around that product on Blogger.com which is a free service provided by Google for creating blogs. Choose a Seo optimized URL and title for your blog focused around the product you are going to promote. And if you are thinking of promoting multiple products from the same category, you can think of creating a general blog about that niche and promote multiple products on the same blog.
Write down 4-5 articles at least about the fist product you selected and publish them on just created blogger blog. But don’t forget to include your affiliate links with banners within these post bodies. But don’t include too many affiliate links in the same article. And keep your affiliate links nofollow and if possible use some services like tiny.cc or tinyurl.com to shorten your affiliate links.
Blog Marketing
Once you have added some content on your first blog with affiliate links, it’s time to market that blog. If you have some additional budget, you can use Google Adwords kind of services to bring traffic to your blog. But I would suggest you to go for free services only initially.
Article publishing
Article publishing is the most important and most successful technique when we think of our success with any affiliate products. Create some article about the product you are promoting and submit them on some of popular Ezine publishing websites like EzineArticles.com, GoArticles.com, ArticleBAse.com and AmericanChronicle.com. Write interesting and informative articles so that people actually read them. The more people you are able to bring on your articles, there will be more people actually visiting your blog and buying the product you recommended. You can think of writing and submitting 8-10 articles about a product you are promoting on these article publishing websites.
Note – Never include your affiliate link in your article body or in your signature section when submitting your articles on these popular Ezine publishing websites. You are allowed to include 2-3 links to your blog in the signature section.
Guest Blogging
Spend some time finding top blogs in your niche or blogs someway related t o your product and write guest posts on these blogs with links to your blog. Guest posts are really helpful in promoting your blogs in the blogsphere and search engines.
Social Media submission
Submit some of your articles from your blog and Ezine publishing websites to some of popular network websites like Digg.com, Propeller.com, Delicious.com, Humsurfer.com etc
Do follow commenting
find some Dofollow blogs in your niche and leave valuable comment on some of them with a link back to your blog posts.
ClickBank earning statistic
After doing all the blog creation and promotion work, it’s time to check your ClickBank account. This month, so far I have been able to generate 1,497 hubs, with products sales being 7, one sale refunded and total earnings for this month after one refund is $157.63. This is the money I have been able to make money with Clickbank this month while investing a single penny. If I get some more time from my busy schedule, I would love to try and spend more time in promoting other Clickbank products. Here is the weekly earnings snapshot from my ClickBank account:

Great tips mate, this method looks pretty good and achievable. I’ve read about some bloggers creating free blogspot blogs, writing between 5 and 10 post about the product your promoting, submitting it to article directories and then just forgetting about their blogspot blog and earning more than $500. It’s like automated income.
I’ll be looking into this and maybe start doing it myself when i have the time.
Nice valuable post.
Thanks for the post. Very useful!
I found a link on this blog under Financial Health it says click here.Here is the blog link. http://healthstore-howtobehealthy.blogspot.com/
Make some money.
Great job you’ve done with a blogger blog. In fact, I’ve done the same thing before and I’ve earned some money too but didn’t earn much like you. It shows that effort pays off, if you put effort and have more time to develop, then you should be able to earn more.

This is great! Thanks for your insight. This is one of the most humble presentations on the subject I have seen so far! It gives a very good impression, and that one can start in a small way, but will make great strides with time and effort. Thanks so much for sharing this.

@Lee
Our chances of making money are quite high if we are able to bring these free blogs in rankings of some targeted keywords on Google, Yahoo and Bing.com
Great explanation man! So far, I made a few hundreds of dollars in Clickbank in a period of two weeks. That’s the biggest I’ve earned so far. But hopefully it would increase as I gain familiarity with the system and promotion.
I agree with you, from Alexa ranking, blogger get the high volume traffic in the top top. thanks
Yeah surely, we can make good amount of money from free blogs with some efforts and by applying some monetization methods like affiliate products

I could not agree with this tips because making money online from clickbank is not an easy way, since i have used this clickbank site i know how much struggle i have undergone.., i recommend 1kadayhome, it helps me to earn money through online with ease…

This is a really useful post for people who are just starting out with Clickbank and affiliate marketing. It is nice to find good quality posts and blogs that really show people some valuable techniques.
Thanks
Sir, you are amazing. If I had a cookie, I’d give it to you. This is a simple guideline that works with some effort. Theres no such thing as free money, but this does show how to make some. One question though; I’m a bit short on budget, and I was wondering if it was ok for me to not buy domain names for blogger and how much that’ll hurt me in search engines if you happen to know. Thanks mate, have a great day.
If you are new to blogging or have doubts over your success, get a free sub-domain on blogger.com and see how the result goes. I don’t think there will be much difference in results whether you are using a free blog or your own domain.
I love Clickbank, it gives the newbie a foot up the ladder as other affiliate sites may be a bit daunting at first. But Clickbank is so easy to use and all the information is in one place, long live Clickbank!
I already use this service and I am very satisfy with blogger policies. This post have very much informative material which I was searching for a long time.
Thanks and regards…
Clickbank is my best mate, I am currently promoting products on my site, its so easy to set up the links. The good thing about it is is that its all downloadable, so no waiting for the post etc, and a great 60 day guarantee for the customer.

I find that it’s important to do a little research on the product you are trying to market and make sure you find the right keywords otherwise you waste a lot of time and have only a few sales if you are lucky.
Yeah, the methodology you laid out definitely appeals to the automated system setup–where you build up a significant number of blogs with a little bit of content and then make small amounts with each individual blog, which quickly adds up of course.
I know some people that are very successful with such techniques, but my problem is that I tend to prefer to work on one thing of actual interest for long stretches of time as opposed to working with many things for which I have little interest for a short amount of time. It really just depends on the person, but I’m sure that if I could dedicate myself to the automated system, I’d be really wealthy, lol.

Thats really interesting I never thought you could make that from doing so little. If you were to put a little more effort into it you could probably make that in a month. That would be good extra spending cash.
This is a wonderful post buddy, I always doubted this method, but seeing your success I think I must give it a try. Thanks for sharing
Excellent money making idea with click bank,thanking you for sharing the wonderful tips…
Thanks a lot Vishal for the compliment. This technique will work but the only condition is that you target a solid product and get rankings keywords related to that product on Google and other search engines
I must try click bank once. but i find affiliate marketing more difficult especially when your visitors are Mostly Indians.
