What is the HopAd Builder?
The “new” HopAd Builder from clickbank is a FREE ad generating script which allows affiliates to make their own ads just like Bidvertiser, Yahoo and Google publishing services.

How do I make money?
You get paid per sale and not by the amount of clicks you receive. When someone buys then you make money, up to 75% commission depending on the product you are promoting.

Where do I find the HopAd Builder at Click Bank?
The HopAd Builder is within your ClickBank account, to find the HopAd builder to make your new ads for your websites, you need to “Login to your ClickBank account, click “Account Settings” then you will see “Hop Ad Builder” click it then choose the type of ad you want”.

What type of Ad units do they have?
There are two types of ads units you can choose from, you can make normal Text ads like this…

Or you can make Tabbed boxed ads like this…

How do I setup the Text Ads?

1. You choose the “TEXT” option (you will see this option as soon as you click “Hop Ad Builder” in your settings account.)
2. You add the keywords of the ads you want displayed (so if you have a site based on weight loss you would add weight loss as a keyword) then add your ClickBank ID and a Tracking ID (optional).

How do I setup the Tabbed Box Ads?
The boxed ad setup is a little different, you can have up to 3 tabs with your affiliate links within.

You need to…
Choose 3 Titles for each Tab.
Choose 3 sets of Keywords for each Tab.
Then ad your Affiliate ID and a Tracking Id.

3. Apearance Settings: Now you can choose the layout of the ad including colors, size, shape and so on.

Text Ad Appearance Settings.

Box Tab Appearance Settings.

Click “NEXT” then you will be able to grab the code…

Copy and Paste the Code: Now you copy the code and paste it into your web page, add it to a wp plugin or add it to your WP sidebar widgets. I use the WhyDoWork Adsense plugin on all of my Wordpress websites, I have added my code to that and it is working great! Remember that you can place the code anywhere you want.

If you are looking for an alternative to Adsense then this is it, good luck and I hope this post helps you.

Blogging is a way of sharing content that you want to update on a regular basis. Unlike normal websites, blogs allow you to add many types of content (videos, articles and images and so on) via posts to your site and show them on the front page of your blog and throughout different categories in your blog.

Blogging is sort of like having a message board that automatically rotates your articles.

Example of a blog post: If wrote an article titled “Most Fashionable Celebrity Dogs” that was 300 words in length and I added a video, and images i would have a post. When published that post will show up in the front of my blog. Before publishing the post to my blog I would then add tags like dogs or dog fashion. I would also add a category because the articles about “Celebrity Dogs” I would place this article in the celebrities category.

By adding the post to a category you separate your content into related groups so any other post you wrote about celebrities will show up when you click a link in the category section.

Aside from posting you can also add pages to a Web Blog. Actually with Wordpress you can make a totally normal static website. More Info Here>> How to Build a Static Wordpress Website. Wordpress is the ULTIMATE blogging platform, if you are considering blogging make sure your web host has Fantastico so you can install your blog with 1 click of your button and for free on your domain.

Like I said above blogging is just updated content, just like news sites. TMZ.com, PerezHilton.com, JohnChow.com and the list of Bloggers goes on.

If you’re short of cash and you need money quick, then read on because I think this post will help you. Below you will see my example of how easy it is to write an ebook and sell it without a sales page or website. I have used this method on a number of occasions and have made good money doing it.

1. Choose a topic:
First you need to choose a topic (in any niche/area of information you are knowledgeable in) to write about. I usually go with internet marketing because it’s a huge market. There are 2 great places where you can sell your ebooks, these websites have tons of traffic and loads of hungry buyers.

Once you’ve figured out what to write about move on to step 2.

2. Get Open Office Writer to Make Your Ebook:
To begin writing your ebook you will need OpenOfficeWriter which is free. Download and install it on your computer.

Once done move on to step 3.

3. Start writing!
Now that you have OpenOfficeWriter you need to start writing your ebook.

You will need…
1. A Disclaimer, 2. Terms of use, 3. Content Menu, 4. Content (include screen shoots as well to make your ebook less boring and to help readers visualize what you are talking about, especially good if you are doing a step by step guide).

Add all content then publish as a PDF file, you will see this option in Open Office Writer.
Go to step 4.

4. Your Finished!
So that’s it, you have just made your very first ebook! It’s time to sell it.

5. Where to sell your ebook?
These are the best places to sell IM products, if you write a really good ebook you can make $1,000.00+. NOTE: If you have chosen a different niche you will have to find related forums to promote your product.

1. The Warrior Forum:
It costs $20.00 to post an ad, you will want to place it in the WSO section of the forum. If you do not have any posts on this forum then I would recommend highly you get at least 200 posts behind you before you place your ad or you will not make many sales (unless you have a killer forum ad and substantial proof).

2. Digital Point Forum:
FREE!!! It’s free to place ads at Digital point but you need to have at least 20 post first I think. “iTraders” mean trust on this forum, the iTraders you have the more sales you will make.

6. Placing your AD:
-When you place your ad make sure to include proof of what ever your ebook will help them with.
-Provide as much information as possible to make the sale.
-Check out what your competition is doing and make your ad better.

IMPORTANT: Before you place your ads you need to get reviews. Offer your ebook for free to 3-6 TOP forum members who have posts of 500 or more in return for a review. This makes your product look more reputable, but watch out if your products doesn’t deliver they will give you a bad review.

Once your ad has been placed on either forum people with start to message you. Reply back to them with your paypal payment details or what ever information they want to know. Once they have paid, email the ebook to them and you’re done, you made your first sale/s.
