I would suggest that you use WordPress. If you are registering a domain the wordpress.org is excellent and easy to install on your own hosting. This gives you freedom to create whatever you like and is less restrictive than say hubpages or Squidoo etc.

For an easy option though WordPress.com gives a good service and again is free. I would recommend the .org version though. They have plenty of tutorials on their website to get you going.

Good luck with your Clickbank product!

Tom answers:

Clickbank is a well-known, well run company that allows anyone to sell digital products online. All the products sold on Clickbank must provide instant access to purchases, so people can get their purchase within seconds of making the purchase. Their business model has allowed some well known personalities to become wealthy online, simply by selling a product on Clickbank.

But did you know that Clickbank is home to one of the biggest running scams of all time? The biggest scam on Clickbank works using a bait and switch method.

Here’s how it works: Someone comes up with a way to make money online, but for one reason or another, they don’t keep it to themselves and continue making money. What they do instead is create an information product that describes (hopefully) the method they used to make money online, and they list their product online using Clickbank, where thousands of affiliates can promote it for them.

Then thousands of people buy the money making guide, try the method, and get some limited success. Usually, they don’t make the money they had hoped for, and may wonder if they did something wrong.

Sound familiar? What went wrong? Was the money making guide all a scam? In reality, it’s a two-fold problem. First, the money making method probably wasn’t really designed to make millions of dollars , but most likely does have some sort of ability to make some money.

Second, no method of making money continues to work the same way once a million people know about it – the results get diluted.

So, the ideas are not infinitly scalable, and the market for the money making scheme has a limit – a ceiling on the profits that can be made. When too many people are doing the same thing, this upper limit is reached quicker.

So, why did this person who found a way to make money online decide to release his secrets, rather than just make money?

It’s because he could make a ton more money selling an information product, with a lot less work, than with any other type of make money systems.

You see, the guy that releases a make money product on Clickbank is following the only reliable, proven money making system that is used by every online millionaire.

If you wanted to make money, wouldn’t you want to do what every online millionaire does? Did you know that there are sites that will show you the easy way to follow this proven system, even if you have no technical skills, and even if you have little money to get started? Look around, and you too can get started making consistent money online.

Hi,

most paid sign ups do not work and many of them are scams. It will be better for you to invest in google adwords to get qualified leads. You can get a free guide to learn how to use adwords to get qualified leads for your business.

Hi, good question…

I suggest you go read as much info as you can take in at Marlon Sander’s blog. It’s enough just to read his blog posts. There’s so much in each one:

That guy is a natural when it comes to keeping things simple, and over-delivering with great information.

Another great guy you might look at is here:

He really walks the walk, makes great ClickBank income, and answers any questions you might have too.

There really is some great, superb info out there and a lot of marketers who really provide good, helpful knowledge…

Another guy that really goes deep into marketing, carefully researches his niches, and over delivers with amazing info is this guy:

It takes a while to find someone who you really connect with, and who can explain things at your own level. I find that I have 10 or so people that I check in regularly to update my learning with. I usually look over their blogs or websites to get a feel for what’s happening.

There’s also this:

They do coaching for a small monthly fee, helping you to set up and create your own digital information product, teach you the ins and outs, and all that great stuff. If you still have more questions give me a shout sometime.

Hope that helps… Go for it!

You would need an average return of about 47 percent per year to achieve your goal. It is possible but not easy. What can work includes items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. With all of them you would have to take a lot of risk. You may just hit a lucky stock or a series of great commodity trades, or find a piece of real estate that increases many fold because of some development nearby that drastically changes its value. Your probability of reaching your goal is relatively low, but that does not mean you shouldn’t try.
