Clickbank is one of the largest digital information product based affiliate networks, if not the biggest. As an internet marketer you either have a product listed there where other affiliates are promoting it for you. Or you’re the affiliate marketing the information product. Either way the following tips are going to help you double your clickbank affiliate profits. Well sort of.

The Money Is In A Warm List

Clickbank now provides you with the names and email addresses of the people that have purchased a clickbank product from you whether you’re the owner of the product sold or an affiliate. Any business owner knows that it’s much easier to sell to an existing customer than it is a new one. That’s assuming you didn’t screw that customer over. So now that you have the contact information of the customers that just bought a clickbank product from you, just send them a quick note as follows:

Dear Customer’s Name,

Thanks for purchasing "name of the ebook".
I feel confident you’ll enjoy it. I was wondering if you would mind if I just keep in touch
with you from time to time to see how you’re doing with that ebook
and just to share free tips and advice related to "the subject
of whatever the ebook is".

If that’s cool with you, can you just email at: MyAutoResponder@MySite.com
so you can be added to my list. It’s just easier for me to manage so
I don’t forget to send you those helpful tips. Don’t worry I won’t be
spamming you with nonsense. I hate that crap too.

I hope to stay in contact with you.

Thanks again for buying "name of ebook".  Let me know if you need
anything else.

Sincerely,
Your Name

This note does a lot. The most important thing is that you’re thanking the customer for buying the product you’ve created or promoted. People appreciate things like that. How many affiliates actually take the time to do that. So already you’re being perceived in a different esteem.

Next you’ve asked to keep in touch with the customer and provide free tips and advice related to what they’ve already bought. This is basically just asking them to join your mailing list. This is very important because Clickbank doesn’t want you spamming their customers and you shouldn’t. Asking them in this non-chalant way will increase the likelihood of them joining your list and you won’t risk losing your clickbank account for spam.

The Steps To Double Your Clickbank or Affiliate Profits.

The following steps are assuming that the customer has responded well to your thank you email and is now on your list.

Step 1. Get an autoresponder and Set up a series of autoresponder messages. The first one should be a thank you message from you just reminding the customer that you’re happy they bought "the name of the ebook" and that you’ll be sending them tips and other related information about the topic of the ebook.

Step 2. Create some useful articles or tips related to the ebook and send them over in a week or two. This will give the customer the time to read the ebook.
Don’t go for the kill yet. It’s important you deliver on your original promise of just providing them with some free tips and information. You’re building a relationship of trust with the customer.

Step 3. Find related lead based affiliate products and services to the original ebook you sold them. Create emails around these lead based offers and send them after your free non promotional tips and articles created in step 2. The great thing about lead based programs is that your customer don’t actually have to buy anything for you to get paid. They’re merely filling out a form to get information or a product already related to what they purchased an ebook on. This makes you look great to the customer. Now you could stop right here if you wanted to and continue to repeat that step.

Step 4. Find another set of related sale based affiliate programs and products. Create emails around these offers and send them out. At this point you’ve built up a trust with your subscriber and they don’t see you as a sales person. They see you as someone that cares about them because you’ve sent them all this free information in the last several days or weeks depending on how you space out the emails. Now they’re inclined to trust you and buy the things you have recommended.

Automated Residual Cash!

This is basically a process that becomes automated after your initial thank you email. As your list gets bigger and you add more messages to your autoresponder, an initial sale of a few bucks can literally double and triple over the course of days, weeks, months and years. That one sale now becomes residual income. That’s how you double your clickbank profits.

This Can Be Repeated Anywhere…

Honestly this technique can be used for an affiliate network you’re part of as long as they give you access to the list of people who converted from your affiliate links. If not, it might just be a matter of asking. The worst they can say is no. Now go and give yourself a raise!
