Okay, you've created your product, you've signed up with Clickbank and now you're ready for all the sales to just start rolling in. Well, not so fast. See, there is a slight little problem. Clickbank is a pretty big place and your product is just one out of the many thousands that it sells. To make matters worse, you don't get yourself even listed in the marketplace until you've had at least 1 sale. Plus, you need to have at least 1 sale every month to stay there. Otherwise, you're back into the black hole of the Internet. The only person who's going to know your product exists is you. So, what do you do?

Well, for starters, you better get going and start promoting your product on your own. There are many avenues of promotion on the Internet, many are either free or very cheap. This will at least give you some exposure so that people know your product exists.

The next thing you can do is, instead of promoting the product itself, make people aware that it exists and let them know that if they choose to sell it they'll be getting a hefty 75% commission from every sale. That may seem high at the start, but in offering a commission rate that high, you will attract more people who will want to sell your product. Affiliate marketing is very competitive. People aren't going to want to put in the time and effort into promoting a product where they get very little return. So at the start, set your commission level at 75%. You can always lower it as the product gains popularity.

So, just where and how do you find these people to sell your product? This is where things get a little tricky and you need to use a little brain power. As I said, this is a competitive industry. The people are out there, many are already involved in doing something. Perhaps they have their own Clickbank product. Maybe they're selling products from other marketplaces like Paydot.com. People aren't just sitting around waiting for you to contact them with your request for them to become an affiliate. You're going to have to do a little hunting.

The best way to find people to sell your product is to go to a search engine and simply type in "Clickbank Affiliate." You're going to find a lot of listings. Many of these listings are going to take you to sites where, wait for it, people have set up entire pages JUST selling Clickbank products. If you're lucky, somewhere on that page you will find an email address. Simply write to the person, tell him that you have this brand new Clickbank product that is sure to take the world by storm. Tell him you'd like him to become an affiliate for the product. Even offer to send him a copy for free. This is a great incentive and many people, once they see the value of the product, will jump right in and start selling it for you. If you happen to find somebody who is a heavy hitter, one who makes lots of sales, this one person could very well make you very wealthy all by himself.

Of course, don't neglect all the traditional methods of promotion, including safelists, message boards, classified ads, etc. It won't happen overnight, but eventually you WILL find quite a few people who will turn your new product into a successful venture.
