Actually I really meant “too busy creating your own photo blog” but “taking photographs” sounded better at the time!

And if you’ve ever tried to create a website or build a blog (somewhat like this one) then you’ll probably know that…

It’s Easier Said Than Done!

And you know what? It’s not the actual writing part that’s difficult either. That just flows out… think of what needs to be said… to nimble fingers… to keyboard and into WordPress… that part couldn’t be easier!

What’s tricky is the actual nuts and bolts of setting up the look and feel of your photo blog…

Things like RSS feeds, social media, choosing the right plugins, themes and widgets, where to put stuff on the page, making sure YOU can read the important posts… and all that behind the scenes stuff that few really know about (unless you’ve actually done it!)

WordPress (bless her heart) does make things a WHOLE lot easier though! Actually WordPress is a bit like riding a classic Ducati… most of the time it rides beautifully… but now and then you’ve got to do some extra tweaks to the engine…

So… anyways… I’m glad to be back, with a whole new super-theme, and will be writing my usual mad-capped blog posts on a weekly-enthusiastic-basis.

Yep, this whole photo blog is going to be giving you a…

Serious Flow Of
Insider Information!

So stay tuned….

And, you’ve heard that ClickBank is the place to go for finding digital products to promote…

So, here’s a step by step guide to using ClickBank to make this happen.

(BTW, to get to the ClickBank marketplace just click on the link above and look for ‘marketplace’).

Here’s what you’ll need to do…

Ready?

Good.

Firstly, take yourself to the ClickBank marketplace and in the ‘keywords’ box, search for ‘photography, camera dollars, sell photos’ (we’ll use Camera Dollars as an example).

After you’ve done a search, you’ll see a list of digital products…

Select ClickBank Product

The top product is the funky Camera Dollars guide. (See above). Now what you need to do is create your own little unique hoplink (so that ClickBank knows who to pay!)

Click on the ‘create hoplink’ link (see red arrow).

You’ll then be presented with a small pop up page like this one below…

ClickBank hoplink

Add your ClickBank affiliate nickname where it says to do so…

If you haven’t got a nickname, sign up to ClickBank here and get yours (for free).

BTW, you can promote any product on ClickBank using your nickname. (Your nickname might actually be a number, but that works the same as using a name).

You don’t need to add anything in the ‘Tracking ID’ box. This is just for tracking your links.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll click on ‘create’ and get a window like this…

ClickBank complete link

See the red arrow? Next to that is your unique link (hoplink).

Copy that link into a text editor and then get it out there into the BIG wide world.

Your goal?

You want people to CLICK on your link…

See my link?

Did you click it?

It is a ClickBank hoplink that is ‘cloaked’ so that it looks more tasteful.

You can use http://tinyurl.com to cloak your links.

There are other ways, we’ll get to them soon.

But for now, just get your link setup.

There are a thousand different creative ways to get your LINK out there.

BTW, you need a UNIQUE link so that ClickBank knows that you ‘recommended’ the digital product and that way you will get paid when someone buys through your link.

This is the start to making money with photography…

YES you CAN promote your link anywhere but you have to be careful you don’t spam anyone and that you do it carefully and tastefully…

So now that you have your link you could…

a) set up a WordPress blog and start posting (writing) articles…

b) write a small review or a few pages talking about your niche/passion/interest… then add your link into that report/review, do it in Microsoft Word then make it into a .PDF….

Then you could give this guide to other folks (who are interested in this subject)…

Or you could set up a hubpages.com site or a squidoo.com site and talk about your interest and sometimes you mention your link or include it in your posts… (Tastefully though)

Got the idea?

Great…

ONWARDS!

Then eBay pulled the plug on selling digital products from under our noses.

Of course, you can look at that and immediately SEE shining opportunity.

Just think of all the CD cases and DVD cover box design work a good designer or photographer could now get… After all, all those physical products are going to need some pretty pictures to make them stand out…

And if YOU’VE considering putting together a unique digital photography tips DVD, or wants to still sell e-photos and fast track your digital photography business using info-products (plus learn to be an eBay PowerSeller) then there’s still time…

Anyway…

Along comes John Thornhill to the rescue. John looks at the ‘problem’ and thinks it over for a night or two. On the third night he wakes up with the solution, and a brilliant one at that.

John thinks w-a-y outside the square and says ‘why not sell the digital product from your own site?‘ That’s right… deliver digital products from your OWN website (after you drive traffic from eBay!)

OK John, I’m impressed. You win. There is genius in simplicity.

And now he’s re-launched his own eBook Membership website that will show you exactly HOW to do this…

The whole kit is included… tutorials, videos, tools, even the kitchen sink…

And the best thing?

You get a massive $100 discount if you ACT now (before the price goes up on TUE 20th)
