A Clickbank check is mailed out twice per month, but before you can get your first check, there are certain conditions that must be met.

First, you have to meet the minimum payout threshold.  You get to set your own payout level, but remember when choosing, that they will charge you $2.50 per payout and the only way to economize on this is to set a higher payout level.  Then you have to wait longer, obviously, for your clickbank check. This is how the clickbank pay system works.

However you choose to deal with that clickbank problem, there is more.  Not only do you have to meet your minimum payout level, but on top of that — the amount has to come from 5 different sales and 5 different customers!  So the minimum level doesn’t matter until this requirement is met.  And what’s worse, if a customer pays with paypal, that sale won’t even count towards the 5!  It has to be 5 credit card sales to count.

So you can see that if you make a couple sales, you are not going to get a clickbank check until you’ve sold more and achieved at least the five different customers sales.  And then there is still more!

If your account should go 90 days without any activity, they say the account is “dormant” and begin to charge you a dollar every single payday as a fee.  Then $5 each payday if it’s 180 days. 

It doesn’t matter what your balance may be, you could be watching it decline, little by little, until it is completely gone!

This is what has happened to a huge percentage of Clickbank affiliates, and Clickbank keeps the money.  It is the biggest reason that affiliates fail and quit. Did you know that currently, over 90% of all Clickbank accounts are considered “dormant”?

It isn’t hard to be caught in this trap and there is no way out.  But I have found a solution to avoid this situation, thanks to Mr. Harvey Segal, THE Clickbank Guru.  He has an Ebook that takes this Clickbank problem on and his solution is truly ingenious!  You have to see this.

Not only can you avoid this trap altogether, but you can actually make money virally off this situation as an added bonus.  It is so very easy and he explains it completely in this short ebook that I can let you have for free.

It’s called “Clickbank for Newbies” and with this plan, you can set yourself up so this

There has to be ways for the total beginner to start building his targeted email list from scratch.  I have read a million articles titled: How to build an email list – and it seems that they describe methods and tricks that will definitely get your list to grow. . . But they leave out the part about how to get those first few names.

Gee, once I get 250 names, there will be plenty of ideas and advice.  But for now, I’m treading alone in dark waters. 

Finally, I came across the best way to accomplish this targeted list building.  Remember the list is pretty useless if it is not a targeted email list.  So any ideas of going out and buying your traffic is bad, bad, bad.  This has to be a special list of people, targeted in my niche, not just anybody.

The best way to build an email list is writing articles.  It is very effective, but time-consuming.  However, in my case, time is something I can afford!  That is the beauty of this FREE method.  You write several articles about topics in your niche, and then distribute them to what are called “article directories”.  The people that are interested in your subject will be the ones that read them.  This is how you are targeting a certain audience.

At the bottom of each article is the signature box.  This is where you are allowed to have a link back to your website that people can follow if they are interested in more information. It’s important to use the signature box as a call to action, so they will click back to your website. And that is how they see your offer in exchange for their email address.

And the list begins to build, one by one.  And to think, all the big gurus with their lists of 50,000 and more, had to start, once upon a time, with getting their very first subscriber, just like this.

There is another way that works, also.  It too is free, and a little less time consuming than article writing.  This great idea is detailed step by step in this Ebook I can let you have for free.  Be sure to check it out.   It’s a special List Building Formula!

I’m so excited, I just had to share this find with you.  You see, I don’t ever use an article spinner.  I never have because I really do not like the results they produce.  So what makes this one so much better than all the rest and how was it able to hook someone like me?

Well, it is completely different.  It works by showing you word choices from a gigantic online thesaurus and you just pick and choose the words that you would like to use.  This thesaurus is continuously growing, as users are adding new words to it daily.

The choices seemed endless, and I was surprised to find words I would have never even thought of to use, thus it was actually improving my level of creativity with its suggestions!  I never expected that!

You’ve got to see how this works!  

It can be used in unlimited ways.  Last week I couldn’t
come up with a title for my article that I was happy with. 

So I put it in The Best Spinner, and was thrilled with the suggestions
that IT came up with for me!  Problem solved in less than 30 seconds.

This is the kind of time-saving tool I will be using a lot.  Because I need all the help I can get and I had no idea that this kind of help could be found in – of all things – an article spinner!

Check it out – it will surprise you, I’m sure:

It is really good to be in-the-know about these things, to know what is available, and how it can help with your success.  Somewhere down the line, you may run into that wall, and then you will know where you can find the tool that can help you out the best.

Why is that?  Can’t you just do direct selling on your website?  Sure you can.  But if you can build a list, you have an interested group of people to market to directly.

Getting your sales to convert takes a lot of work and, of course, you need traffic.  Sending traffic to your sales page might get a small conversion rate of about 1-2%.  But that means that 98-99% of your hard earned traffic goes away . . .  forever!

Hey, that’s just about EVERYBODY!  Now, if before they go, you have a way to capture their email address, you can start to build a list.  A very good list, because you know they are already interested enough that they clicked your link for more information.

Now this list we are building is quite an audience, because we already know they have a good interest in our topic or they wouldn’t have come this far by clicking thru.  That is why you never want to  just “buy” a list of emails.  So much better to build it one by one.

This kind of a targeted list will be much more likely to listen to what you have to say.  And capturing their email address will give you that chance to communicate with these people again and again.

It will be very important to build a good, warm relationship with these people, so they will come to like you, trust you, and even buy from you.  People buy from people they trust so this is something to strive for.  It takes time, don’t just pitch sales to them.

Just remember they are real people, like you and me.  Really talk to them and give them valuable information in your emails.  Even give them some free bonuses that also contain valuable information.  Make sure you’re not wasting their time with junk, but good stuff.

So, how do you go about building this list?  This is what I am learning in Alex Jeffreys’ coaching class right now.  He is definitely the go-to guy when it comes to building a list.  And he has put all this important information in an ebook that he will let me give you for free!

And I wish you all the best as we travel together down this road to online internet marketing.

Sitting down and planning out all the little jobs that you want to accomplish this week, or this month, is the best way to actually accomplish them.  The distractions promise to be many.  Day after day goes by with very little done.

I have found that planning ahead for my day is making all the difference in the world as to how much I can get done.   If you list all the little jobs that need to be done this week, on paper, you will come up with a very successful “To Do” list.  Take the many items, and rate them for priority and re-list them now in the new order.  Break the list down to what you want to get done tomorrow.  Be realistic, and don’t pack in too much.  But there is your to-do list for tomorrow, in order of importance.

Now when tomorrow comes, there will be no wasted time trying to figure out what you ought to do.  Just start with the first item right away and before you know it, it is done.  Then on to the next, and the next.  When that distraction happens, put it at the bottom of the list and quickly continue with what you were working on.

Take a break every couple of hours, to keep your mind fresh.  And drink a lot of water.  It has been shown that you can be 20% more productive this way!

And always plan tomorrow as your last task, so you can repeat your new level of productivity.  This is what I have incorporated into my life, and it makes all the difference in the world.  Tasks are not so hard to accomplish anymore, and I don’t have to “talk myself” into doing them.  They just are what happens next! 

Give it a try and you’ll be amazed at the difference it makes.  It is also the best cure I have found for procrastination.  And we all know how procrastination can damage your projects.  It probably is the biggest culprit out there.  Just lay out the plan, everyday, and you will find it is so much easier to make progress.

The point is that if you want your blog to be read and followed, then there has to be content that really helps the reader along in their progress as an Internet Marketer, also.  That is perfect, as I want to share with you my entire journey of becoming an Internet Marketer, and all that it involves.

First thing, is to set up a WordPress blog on your own domain site.  It sounds daunting, and the most likely project to be procrastinated.  That is why it is good that I’m in Alex’s coaching class.  He’s taking us step by step through a very large picture.  But we are actually doing the steps, not just learning about them.

Learning is all that I did before, and am finding out that “taking action”, as hard as it is to do, is really the secret to any of this.  Turns out, I think, that 3/4 of the learning comes in actually performing the steps.

This will be true all along through the entire program.  “Taking action” is what it is all about.  I can’t tell you how exciting it feels to actually see things happening!  And all that is really happening is my blog, but it is really there!

If you have the dream of being an Internet Marketer, then it will only begin when you take action and actually do something.  Once that first hurdle is crossed, doing more and more becomes much easier, because excitement for progress plays such a huge role.  Go ahead, give it a try.  Believe and achieve!

Last summer, I decided to check this thing out - about making money on the internet.  I bought a couple of inexpensive programs and proceeded to learn what it is all about.  At first, I was very confused with all that goes into it.  Then, the more I studied, the more overwhelmed I became.

I could soon see that they even coined a term for people like me:   Newbie! 

Yes, I was a total newbie in the purest form. But I was determined to conquer this thing.  Clicking on different free offers through my email grew me an enormous email list — I was receiving email from nearly 100 different people everyday!  I could spend 4hrs. a day just going through it all!  All my reading about “the email list” just didn’t jive with MY email list… Oh, you mean I’m supposed to be the sender of the email? 

I’m supposed to have a list of people that I can send email to.  OK.  Well, it was a lot easier to be on the receiving end.

Slowly, over a 6 month period of home study, it all began to sort itself out.  I had it figured out — on paper.  I hadn’t DONE a thing, however.

And now, I was receiving a phone call or two everyday about coaching.   Thousands of dollars that I don’t have.  Hardly an option for me, but they were making progress towards convincing me that having a mentor and a coach was the way to go. 

Stuck in a dilemma.  I just have to do this all myself.  After all, I know what I have to do.  Just do it, right?

For some odd reason, I didn’t know where to start or how.  I was somehow hooked into Adam Spiel and Dean Holland and their goings on, and through them, came across the name “Alex Jeffreys” as a terrific mentor and coach.  And someone who really cared if you succeeded or not.  Before I knew it, I was watching his video about coaching. 

 I decided that I was going to do this thing, that it was more affordable, and I WOULD succeed with some help.  I have the head knowledge, now I just need the help in actually doing it.  And I need to believe that, Yes, I can do this.

So I signed up and was off and running with module one.  I was totally nervous about what I had done!  It felt like I took a leap off a very tall building.  And with Christmas upon us, when was I going to find the time?  Well, I puttered with it through the Christmas holidays making big plans and goals for January.  It was so much fun, I actually made progress in setting up this blog and another website squeeze page! 

Domain names, hosting, DNS, setting up WordPress, all of it was coming along.  This was amazing.  I’m really doing it….And I am excited. 

I’m going to post here, my progress with what Alex Jeffreys’  has us doing, any stumbling blocks, and solutions.  I expect that I’m going to need a lot of help.  Follow along, as I will be sharing with you all that is going on and how I go from zero sales and a zero email list to a full fledged Internet Marketer! 

The rose is about to bloom!
