You can promote Clickbank products via your website, blog, Social networks, Ezine Submission or through Forums etc. I would suggest creating a blog about the product you want to promote on Blogger, Wordpress, Squidoo or Hubpages. Then promote your newly created site as a normal website. You can think of submitting one or two of articles from your website on Top social media sites. Find some dofollow blogs about your niche and leave valuable comments there with your site links.

Create an account on 2-3 discussion forums like DP forum, Sitepoint, Webproworld and spread your site links in the signature section.

And if you need instant traffic on your newly created website without any seo effort, go for some PPC program like Google Adwords.

Hubpages.com can be used as a good alternate to Squidoo when we search for a website where we can publish our thoughts, ideas and articles about any topic for free on the internet. On free content sharing websites like, Squidoo, Hubpages etc we don’t need to worry about the layout or design of our webpage, we just need to focus on content part.

Every page that we create on Hubpages.com is known as a Hub like we have lens on Squidoo. On a Squidoo lens, we can add as many articles we like but each Hub that is created on Hubpages.com contains single article only. We don’t need any technical skill to create our hubs here and we will be able to publish our content including pictures and videos easily with easy to use tools available on Hubpages.com.

After filling this information, we have to add content in our hub by clicking the ‘Edit’ link in the text module available.

And when we go to Hubpages.com, we can browse hubs by:

Now let’s talk about how to build traffic and make money using our Hubs. We should include links to our websites and blogs within Hubs content and Author Bio section that we create. And then submit our favorite hubs on top social media sites. One should make comments on other hubs and include links to their hubs in their signature section on discussion forums they actively work. This way they will be able to bring lots of traffic to their Hubs and main websites.

Easiest way of making money through a Hub is via Google Adsense which is available on every Hub that we create. We are going to make some money every time a Google Adsense Ad on our Hub get clicked. If we already have a Google Adsense Account, we can link that to our Hubs and if we don’t have an Adsense Account, can apply for that via our Hubs. When we share our Google Adsense Account here on our Hubs, will be displayed on 60 percent of impressions that our Hubs generate and for the rest of 40 percent impressions, Hubpages.com uses its own Google Adsense Account.

With these there are hundreds of other popular affiliate programs you can use on your hubs and make money from them.
