If you want to start making a blog income then you could work on-line from home with ClickBank.

ClickBank is one of the most popular connection sites between affiliate marketers and product developers.  It is also a tool that a buyer can use to buy information products.  ClickBank is also simple to start using within minutes of signing up.  

You would think with so much going for it, you could simply upload the details of your information products and you�re ready, right?  Well, not quite.  You might make a few sales, but if you want to start making some seriuous money you need to do more than simply upload your products, create a link, and wait for the sales to come in.  

First create a mini-site that targets your market. Write some wicked sales copy and demo the product via a video presentation.  Offer a freebie or bribe on your site in return for their email address. That way you can follow up with further email selling techniques.

If you have received some good testimonials, make sure you add these to your page or alongside video clips that are distributed within the sales copy.  Publish some product reviews on some web 2.0 pages like Squidoo.  Write some brief reviews or draft a colleague in to write some reviews on your product.

If you are trying to find people to review for you, give a limited amount of people your product for free.  This is a common method used on marketing forums in order to gather together testimonials.  You can also obtain reviews from those members who contribute a lot to forums within your niche.  Once you have the reviews make sure you post them on as many forums, sites, and discussion boards as you can.  

Exchange mailing lists.  

Get in touch with sites with similar niche interested and let them know about your product on ClickBank.  Offer them an affiliate sales opportunity (make sure it's higher than 50%).  You could also suggest trading mailings where you send their offer to your list and then a little later they do the same for you. That way you both win and increase you opt-in lists.

Each sale made generates an affiliate commission for the seller so everybody is a winner.  If your product isn't attracting affiliates simply decrease the cut you get and increase the commission for each affiliate sale.  Internet and information marketing revolves around volume so just keep in mind that 25% of 1,000 sales is worth more than 50% of 100 sales.  

Keep your products fresh and up to date.  Just like produce, eBooks only have a certain amount of time they can sit on the shelf and not be updated.  You might be offering great information, but update or add a twist to it at least twice a year.  Unless you have written a timeless classic you will start to notice a steady drop in sales as time goes by.  

This is the time when you should start to tweak your product and make changes.  You can change the title slightly or make major content changes or add a bonus.  And ensure you engage the buyer with your new updated content.  If you do decide to tweak and update your product, let your best affiliate sellers know so that they can send updated information out to their mailing lists again.

So if you want to start making a blog income from the Internet and work online from home, don't just upload the details of your information products to ClickBank. Put a plan together and start using the proven techniques described above and your ClickBank efforts will make the sales come in.

So many people are looking for a short cut to making money on Internet.

But is there one?

To answer we need the definition of “short-cut” and how much money.

Even if you only want to make $10 a day but your view of short cut is "by next week", then I do not believe there is.

Making money on the Internet requires dedication to learn, on-line knowledge, hard work, patience and a daily commitment, especially in the early weeks.

And if your knowledge of the Internet and Blogging is limited, then you have a very steep learning curve ahead of you. It could take you months of research.

I am here to just share my experiences and I want you to know there is no short cut to making money on Internet. Now I am not here to put you off starting your Internet business but I do want you to know it's not easy.

You may have heard or seen stories about people making their millions, driving around in their flashy cars and relaxing in their big houses. Well, that's true for a very small group of individuals.

But they have worked hard for a long time to get to that position and now they can outsource a lot of the administration activities and solely work on product creation.

This is hard to admit but I am not going to lie to you. When I first started my Internet business, a few years back, I thought there was a short cut.

I thought I'll quickly build a website, create a product, do a little bit of promotion and retire on the millions of dollars I receive as a result. I saw myself owning numerous properties and simply relaxing in the sun, everyday. How wrong could I be?

It took me a month to build a website. I just didn’t know what I was doing. I was spending hour upon hour searching on the Internet, jumping from technical forum to technical forum looking for advice.

It didn’t take me long to create my first product but I made a huge mistake. I created a product that no one wanted! I thought there would be a huge demand but there wasn't.

I wasted hours and hours of my time and a lot of money!

Here I was spending my money rather than making it!

Three years later, I have sold 4 copies of my first product making me $120.

I eventually, through embarrassment, withdrew the product from the Internet.
So, I learned a couple of lessons.

Your website has to include some unique free content for your visitor. Customers want to see what you have to say, what advice you are giving for free before they will actually buy any products from you.

I do suggest you create your own products but don't make the mistake I made and think your product will sell. Do some research first to see if a similar product actually sells via the Internet.

One idea I would recommend is find and follow one person who has been successful and has a good reputation for making money on Internet.

Why do I say one person?

Mainly because you can be swamped with conflicting advice. If you stick with one person, one mentor it will be much less confusing.

I've had many mentors and followed many gurus.

Who would I recommend?
