Altitude on Small Business Tools

There’s nothing like putting money in the bank. For business owners there’s the arduous task of figuring out just how to do that — what product works, how to distribute, and how to promote — toping the list of brainteasers.

If you’ve already solved the problem of products and have decided digital is the way to go, look no further than Clickbank.com to complete the riddle of distribution and promotion. Clickbank.com matches 10,000 digital products with 100,000 affiliates that are ready and waiting to sell your products. For what reason? Commission of course! Who doesn’t like the idea of putting some extra income in their pocket and on somebody else’s hard work — why not? At the end of the day everybody’s happy.

Clickbank is a good option for both publisher and affiliate. If you’re a publisher here’s five good reasons you might want to sign-up:

• - You don’t have to figure out how to start selling online. Clickbank’s relatively easy and does almost everything for you.
• - You don’t have to go searching for somebody that wants to sell your products. Clickbank puts thousands of affiliates at your disposal.
• - You don’t need a merchant account or any other credit card or banking services for people to pay you.
• - You don’t have to remember who bought what, if you sent them the product and if they got it – Clickbank handles all the tracking.
• - You can multiply your sales with lots of other people selling your products.

But there’s a catch — People have to want to sell what you’re promoting. So that brings us to the other side of Clickbank — the affiliate side.

If you have a business and offer a service and would like to compliment it with ecommerce, why not start out by selling someone else’s product? It takes the pressure off having to create your own and gives you a nice way to increase your revenue. If you like the idea of affiliate marketing, e.g. making money off someone else’s products, here are a few reasons you might like Clickbank:

• - There are over 10,000 products for you to promote. No complaining that there’s nothing to choose from.
• - You could earn as much as 75% per sale. The commission is set by the publisher and in some instances can be very generous.
• - Direct deposit of your money. No haggling, no paperwork, just cash in the bank.
