How to build an autopilot Clickbank affiliate website which gives you an autopilot income? For a website to work properly you’ll need to carefully align your website traffic with a solid product which sells. Before you start looking at products from Clickbank to sell you first need to think about how you’re going to get traffic to your website. There’s two main ways to attract traffic. You can build content which serves your target audience, and you can pay for it.
Platforms such as Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Facebook, YouTube etc. offer a means to instantly send traffic to your website. When I started building websites for affiliate marketing I wanted to attract free traffic from the search engines. This takes a little more work, but once you start getting traffic for nothing, you’ll never want to pay for it again!
Autopilot Clickbank Affiliate Website – Defining Your Target Audience & Niche
Before defining your target audience you need to pick a niche. Your topic is an important decision and ideally choose a topic you’ll love writing about. If you choose a topic you don’t know or care about, it’s much harder to sustain the effort needed to build content on a regular basis. With over 600 million blogs on the internet it’s getting all the more difficult getting your website ranking at or near the top of a Google search.
So choose a topic you have an interest in or some knowledge about. That way, it’s more interesting and much easier to write about your topic. Once you’ve chosen your topic, head over to Clickbank and choose a product which aligns with your topic of interest.
Although you can sell an affiliate product without buying it personally, I would recommend getting to know your product well. Take some time deciding which product to put on your website and really do your research. When you know your product, you can also write a product review as one of your blog posts. This is a great way to attract targeted traffic towards your autopilot website.
Autopilot Clickbank Affiliate Website – Defining Your Target Audience
What is your target audience? The internet is amass with millions of people doing searches for everything and anything. If you spend time creating content which attracts the wrong kinds of visitor, you’ll likely waste a considerable amount of time building content. For example, creating article titles with the term “free” in it will attract freebie seekers.
You want to attract buying customers to your site, so that a larger proportion of them are more likely to buy your Clickbank product. To define your target audience it’s worth doing some work in understanding your customer avatar. See also customer avatar worksheet pdf.
Your customer avatar is the type of person who would be most likely to benefit from (and buy) your Clickbank product. You can also use Google’s keyword tool to find keywords which relate to your product. Simply type your product name into the planner and look for long tail keyword derivatives. By finding longer tail keywords with low SEO difficulty, you’re more likely to rank for them and get found on the Google search tool.
Autopilot Clickbank Affiliate Website – Building A Niche Website
This strategy used to be much more prevalent than it is today but even so it still works wonders for getting free traffic to your website if you do it right. As you look for keywords in Google’s keyword planner you will see certain long tail keywords which marry up nicely with your product/topic. Find one which has low competition when you do a Google search for it.
With a low competition keyword the number at the top of the search bar is much lower than average. Checkout the number I found for this article title, for example:
Once you find a good keyword which suits your product and has low competition on the Google search results, buy a domain name which has your keyword in it. Build out your site creating content you find using the keyword planner. It used to be you could throw up a website with only a few pages and it would rank on Google. Nowadays, it’s much more difficult and you’ll need to write some quality content on your site to be in with a chance of getting your website ranked.
Getting Traffic
Getting traffic for free isn’t easy but if you’ve chosen a topic you love, you should enjoy the process much more than if you chose a niche that you don’t care about. Keep creating content on your site and use an SEO tool which will help you target keywords in your articles. Learn about SEO (search engine optimisation) and keep going. Sometimes a new site won’t rank for some time on Google, but you should see it ranking on other search engines earlier, such as Duckduckgo, Bing, Yahoo, etc.
You can also get an email autoresponder and give away something to your visitors, such as an ebook or free report. This is a great way to sell Clickbank products because you’ll be able to create an email list of subscribers and keep in touch with them over a long period of time.
Use An Email List
On a website your visitors only stick around for a few minutes. At first, when you’ve only a tiny amount of traffic, most won’t buy from your Clickbank affiliate banners. But if you give something away which is valuable, you can encourage website visitors to become email subscribers.
I’ve sold products even years after some people have opted into my email list. So it’s definitely worth building an email list. You can access an autoresponder for free here.
Summary
A niche website which attracts traffic for free is quite some endeavour. You’ll need to stick at it for some time. This is why you should be careful in choosing your topic. I once chose a topic I had no interest in once, and within 6 months I was completely burned out creating content in it. So pick something you’re going to love working on!
Build an email list and offer value to your subscribers in the way of information which leads them to your Clickbank product. Choose your product/s carefully because even with a fantastic website you can still struggle to sell a bad product. Make sure your product is carefully aligned with your blog topic so that your visitors are going to want to actually buy it!
Oh and make sure one of your blog posts is a review of your Clickbank product. Reviews are a great way to attract people who are looking for exactly what you’re selling.
