“clickbank is useless for Pakistan?”
Did i say that? Sorry if i gave this impressions,
I did not which part of this post you used to draw above conclusion.

Clickbank is great way to learn quickly about Affiliate Marketing. Great way to start… I just
wanted to say that you need to market clickbank products to people who buy online (which is not usually the case with Pakistan) so if you have a Pakistan based site with Pakistani traffic, you will find hard to make affiliate sales on that site.

Investment? You mean for Adwords Ads to promote clickbank products?
You know in the beginning it is all about finding
the best keywords and best offers/products which make you profit (after paying your adwords cost)….

So actual initial cost is to test many different offers, and then stick to the offers which are profitable. How much money you should spend on testing….

Well my friends, great Adwords expert, taught me this formula of 3Times of the Affiliate commission, i.e. If a product earns you $30 commission, for testing it out if it is profitable for you, start a test campaign and make few sales and see how it converts.

After you have spent almost $30*3 = $90 but conversions are not that good or you did not covered your costs… It is time to move on…to try some other product instead of going for more risk…

Once a while you will find a good converting winner product… you add that to your portfolio,
run it with even more keywords…and start testing more products…and again repeat the cycle, remove the losers and keep the winners… this is how you start getting some of the best profits online.

Secondly, approx. how much investment is required to actually get in the cycle of getting commission through Clickbank.

I am not selling Clickbank products currently. Affiliate Marketing is not my business model. I own my own products and also offer services at WarMarks.com.

When I was doing clickbank full time, my only traffic method was PPC (not adwords made me big bucks, but Yahoo Sponsored Search did make my money and good ROI).

You are right, there is not point to rank a clickbank products’ preselling page for Pakistani market. My dear clickbank is very saturated and competitive specially for Newcomers. If you have money to invest then go buy paid traffic and send to best converting clickbank products.

In case you want to only use Free SEO and Social Media traffic, I suggest you go for easy ride at Amazon.com . Let me share with you a great thread
recently a fellow Warrior friend posted at Warrior Forum:

Also look at CJ.com for not so competitive products to promote. Do blogging about specific products and do drive traffic from social media sites and also social bookmark you all pages and create pages at web 2.0 properties and link them together…

Forum marketing is also great model for promotion, but it works even greater when you have your own product to sell.

To supplement your income at the start, i suggest you go offer some sort of service too, this is surefire way to create a consistent source of income, and also make contacts in your industry so you can also launch the product in the same market.

Wish you best,

PS. Every month i get some commissions from Clickbank from the products i referred to my clients, most
of the time, scripts or software needed to create their sites. So it is another tip for you to use, when you offer service to your clients, if they need anything like a membership script or clickbank affilite management tool, give them your affiliate link and ask them favor to buy using your link. As they tust you, and you are saving their time and money by suggesting the best tool in the market, you deserve your commission, and they do not have to pay extra, so they happily will use your link. Many times they will ask your affiliate link to show you the generosity!

PPS. Also if you can create some Niche sites, with unique content, have the main keyword in the domain, you are guaranteed to get position in SERPS. Then you can add links to best affilite products from that site, and promote that site madly. By adding more and more content on daily basis. By generating backlinks, by creating Social Web Link Wheels, and by consistenting positing at social sites link Twitter and Facebook.
This is long term and takes time to build the kind of site, but at the end you will have a good asset which brings your monthly income, and also you can sell the whole site for big bucks..aka Flipping! Have a look at Flippa.com and see how many people are making great money by selling the working Niche sites.

What business model you using for selling clickbank products? And how do you target other countries markets ? As it’s hard to rank high on google in other Countires.While it’s worthless to rank CB websites on 1st page in Google Pakistan because there are not much buyers.

i would love to hear about your approach…

Hope to hear soon.

It could take some time, I am not sure exactly how much, as I use my Account based on Singapore( I got this years ago Clickbank was offered in Pakistan, now I mostly use that account) with Clickbank. As that account is connected to Singapore Bank account, Clickbank does direct deposit to the bank account there.
