5 ClickFunnels and ClickBank Tips

- Split Test Your Funnels
- Generate The Leads And Treat Them Like Gold
- Build An Awesome JV Page With ClickFunnels
# 1 – Tap Into The ClickBank Marketplace
One of the most exciting prospects about launching your product is having others promote your product for you. That’s the beauty of affiliate marketing.
ClickFunnels indeed lets you launch an affiliate program right on its platform using CLickFunnels backpack, which is awesome. However, ClickBank also has a cool affiliate marketplace that authors, teachers, and product creators can tap into.
If you publish products, then why not launch in as many digital marketplaces as possible? So, you can launch your ClickFunnels affiliate program. You can also launch on ClickBank to tap into their affiliate base as well. Food for thought.
If you’re going to launch your digital (or physical) product for sale in the ClickBank marketplace, then you may as well list your product in the affiliate marketplace.
ClickBank is one of the biggest websites on the planet, and its affiliate marketplace is famous in the marketing world. Simply listing your product for sale in the ClickBank marketplace isn’t a guarantee of success. However, the more digital hooks you have in the marketplace water, the better. Right?
# 2 – Consider Automated Webinars
I’ve been keeping my eyes on the ClickBank marketplace for some time now. I think it’s a great idea for all writers and self-publishers to keep a close eye on what’s popular in various marketplaces. The point? Automated webinars are huge these days.
That’s why ClickBank rocks. It’s a great way to see what niches are working good at any point in time. What’s hot in your marketplace right now? Spend a few minutes looking in the ClickBank marketplace. One thing that I’ve noticed, is that there seem to be more automated webinars than ever on ClickBank right now.
Why is this the case? I’m not sure. However, my opinion is that automated webinars rock. In my opinion, one of the main reasons for automated webinars being so popular is because they are great email list building assets. In other words, when someone subscribes to your automated webinar, you can offer them a chance to subscribe to your email newsletter at the same time.
# 3 – Split Test Your Funnels
Imagine if a ton of affiliates and partners start promoting your products. Imagine that they start by sending you loads of traffic. But then, their conversions tank. They sent you loads of traffic, but their conversions are dismal! You let everyone down.
Can you imagine how embarrassing that would feel? That’s why testing and optimizing your funnels is a great idea. Constantly strive to improve your conversion rates! That way, if you ever land an affiliate JV partner or affiliate, you can impress the heck out of them! Instead of retreating with your tail between your legs.
One of the best things about ClickFunnels is that they have a ton of different marketing funnels to experiment with and consider. The ClickFunnels page editor is also elementary to use. If you can navigate this blog, and click a few buttons, then you can edit the funnel templates without stress.
Even if you’re in a panic because you’re not the best designer or copywriter, you should relax! A lot of marketers stress out when choosing the perfect funnel type for their product, but the templates make everything much easier.
So, which type of funnel should you use for your digital product? I have been building websites for a long time now, and I can tell you that you’re only limited by your creativity.
Here’s a fun exercise. Take a look at the ClickBank marketplace right now. What do you see? What types of products and funnels? I see some automated webinar funnels that sell high ticket products. I also see tripwire funnels that start with a low ticket product and then have higher-priced one-time offers. I also see everything in between.
That said, don’t reinvent the wheel! There are plenty of successful product vendors who swear by different marketing funnel styles. Which one makes the most sense for you, your style, your product, and your price point?
Here are a few popular sales funnel styles to consider:
- Automated webinar funnels
- Video sales letter funnels
- Long-form written sales funnels
- Free plus shipping funnels
- Tripwire funnels
- Product launch funnels
Generate The Leads And Treat Them Like Gold
One of the biggest benefits of launching a product in the list of customers that you generate. That’s why self-publishing rocks!
Even though everyone loves to use social media these days, I’m still a huge fan of email marketing. In my opinion, email marketing is still the single best way to generate rapport, control website traffic, and share your best promotional content. That’s another reason why automated webinars rock. Automated webinars help to generate email leads!
But, what happens once you generate the lead? One mistake that a lot of novice self-publishers make, is that they fail to adequately follow up. They either come on too strong or neglect the leads altogether. Always remember that if you don’t follow up with your lead, they’ll forget about you! You’ve already worked hard to generate the lead. So, you may as well hustle hard entertaining them, keeping them, and converting them!
Try your best to deliver an amazing followup sequence that builds rapport, introduces yourself, and shares awesome content. Also, don’t forget to include calls to action to promote your offers. Just because you deliver massive value, doesn’t mean that you can’t sell!
Build An Awesome JV Page With ClickFunnels
Have you noticed that the best product vendors provide tons of resources for their affiliates? What type of resources am I talking about? Resources that help your affiliates to promote your products!
Here’s a cool list of goodies to give your affiliates:
- Email templates for their email promotions
- Banner ads for social media and blog placement
- Bonuses that they can give to their audience
- Any sales copy to help them promote on social
- Social media graphics
These make for excellent resources that you can provide to your joint venture partners and affiliates.
You might look at this list and fall out of your chair because it looks like a lot of work! However, I think that your future affiliate partners and joint venture partners may appreciate the kind gesture and your hard work! Food for thought.
Conclusion
I love the world of digital publishing. That’s why I’m always ranting about marketing funnels. I honestly believe that it’s the best time in the world for authors, teachers, digital publishers, software sellers, and entrepreneurs.
If you have a product that you want to launch with the world? Then ClickBank and ClickFunnels are both amazing resources! I hope that this guide helped you brainstorm how to use these two amazing technologies with one another for your digital publishing endeavors.
