If you’re a beginner at blogging and/or making money on the Internet, then this article will give you the basic step-by-step system to get you started using ClickBank and a free blog.

With this system I’m about to show you, you do not need to have a website or hosting account at all. I’ll show you the free tools you can use that are readily available online for you to use right away.

First step is to head on over to Blogger.Com and sign-up for a free account. At Blogger.Com, you will have an easy to use blogging system that does not cost you any money to use.

After this, head on over to ClickBank.Com, and sign-up for an affiliate account there. It’s free to create an account, so no worries there.

One last place to sign-up for another free account at this time, and that’s at EzineArticles.Com. This is where you will create and post articles from about 250 words to about 350 words in length.

OK, now that you’ve done all of the above, here’s the steps to follow next…

First, go to ClickBank.Com, and spend some time searching through their database of available products you can promote.

Don’t worry to much at first about how much you’re going to make, focus more on finding a product or products on subjects that you’re familiar with, and can write some short articles about.

Once you find the product or products that you’re interested in promoting, create your affiliate links (hoplinks) using ClickBanks affiliate link creator tool. (It will be a link named: create hoplink)

Now save your hoplinks to a NotePad page and save them for later.

Next, create a couple of short posts in you Blogger.Com blog with a link pointing to the product you’re promoting. This is where you will use the hoplinks you created earlier at ClickBank.Com.

Now, head on over to EzineArticles.Com, and log into your account there. Create a couple of short articles on the subject matter that relates to the products you’re going to promote.

Do not try to do any selling in your articles, and never provide a link to the products you’re promoting. Use your articles to give people help and direction in the subject matter you’re focusing on.

Now, when you’re finished with your article, there will be what’s called an “Author SIG – Resource Box” that will appear at the very bottom of your article. This is where you will provide your link(s).

The key to having a successful author resource box in your articles, is to create curiosity. Don’t just slap a blurb in there about yourself and a link pointing to your blog. Write something that will make people become curious and want and need to click on your link.

Example: Rather than saying something like “My name is Bill, and the Internet is really fun and exciting, please visit my website at…”, create something that creates curiosity in people.

Example Of Using Curiosity: “Did you know that 9 out of 10 people fail in online business not because of the tactics they use, but how they go about using them?.. Can you afford to fail? Learn my secret methods at…”

These are just two, very quick examples, I’m sure you can come up with much better if you take your time, but I hope it gets my point across.

My method is to try and pick one product each day and write one article in that subject matter, write one post to my website about it, and submit my article to EzineArticles.Com each day.

You can alternate pointing the links in your author resource box each day to your blog postings, and using your hoplinks.

Do this for 30 days, and I guarantee you will start seeing results before you know it. It doesn’t seem easy at first, but once you get into a routine, you’ll be doing this almost without thinking about it.

Final Tip: Read other peoples articles and see how the successful ones are doing it, then follow their examples. Watch what others are doing, and you can learn a lot!
