When you consider using Clickbank products to earn an income as an affiliate, you can achieve even better sales results if you use Ebay or other web based auctions sites to market and promote your selected Clickbank products.

First I recommend that you sign up at Ebay as an AFFILIATE. This allows you, to promote products of other Ebay sellers on your website and if somebody buys through your Ebay Affiliate Link, you will earn a commission. The commission is not paid on the sales price of the product, but as a percentage of the earnings which Ebay makes on the sales transaction. The more traffic you bring to such links, the better your earnings will be. 

Ebay offers a so called "Me Page" which is free to join for every Ebay user. The members can write their own articles, give feedback to articles and every one can read what you write. So, if you arepromoting your products through related articles, you can use this platform to trigger your sales. Be smart and write about yourself, your experience with Clickbank products, etc. You need to provide the readers the EBAY LINKS where the product is auctioned plus also the Clickbank link. 

If you open your Ebay Store, you are able to 1) promote your own unique Ebay URL, 2) list up to 1000 items in your store at very low cost, 3) send Newsletters from your store, 4) to personalise your stor, 5) get SEO classification as your store and store items get ranked, 6) to say "visit my Ebay Store" to your visitors, and more.... You must take some time to read through all the conditions and possibilities Ebay offers you. If you really want to dig in and get started as an Ebay Seller, then I warmly recommend you to read more in the "90 Day Powerseller Challenge" eBook. 

A special note about digital products sold on Ebay. Recently, Ebay changed their policy (May 2008) and they do not allow to sell digital products for direct download anymore. There must be a physical delivery of the product which means you need to ship a CD burned with your product files to the customer. You still can give the link for immediate download in your thank you page but you have to confirm to the customer that the CD is already on the way to their post mail box. There is a great way to outsource all the hassle with burning, packing and shipping these CDs. I invite you to check the Website of "My Digital Dispatch (MYDD)", which offers an excellent service at affordable prices and many cool features to follow up your customers, etc. 

Avery good alternative to Ebay is STORMPAY AUCTIONS.

What is Stormpay? StormPay Inc. was founded in 2002 at which time StormPay.com quickly emerged as a successful leader in the E-commerce Industry. Today StormPay.com's primary function is offering individual sellers and advertisers a safe, easy, and low cost environment in which they can advertise and sell their goods.
