Step 3: Set Up Your Website Design

The design of your website is very important that's why we are continually adding new templates and colors to allow you to customize your website. There are 5 steps to complete setting up how your website looks. These are listed below.

  • Choose Template And The Template Color
  • Edit The Website Content
  • Edit The Products You Want To Promote
  • Edit The Product Reviews
  • Edit The Position of The Top Three Products

3.1 - Choose Template Design And Color

To start with you should choose the website template you want to use, you can do this my navigating to the "Manage Your Site" tab then click on the "Templates" button. You should be greeted by a selection of templates. To choose the one you want to use just click on it.

You should now see your template in a variety of colors, again just click on the color you want to use. You will now get a message telling you that your template upload will be completed in the next 2-3minutes. You can repeat this process whenever you feel like changing your template design or color.

3.2 - Edit The Website Content

Your website content is the text that is found at the top of your website explaining what your website is about. Start by entering the website title this will appear in the website header then write your introduction text, and then write why you have chosen the number one product in your review site. If you make any changes that you want to keep to update your website remember to click save changes at the bottom of the page. Your website will update with these changes immediately, if you have not seen the changes, you need to refresh the page you are looking at online by clicking the refresh button.

If you haven't yet chosen your products yet this is ok you can just complete this section later, as you can see for the moment we just leave the default text there to give you an idea what to type.

To edit your websites content you navigating to the "Manage Your Site" tab then click on the "Contents" button. Now just edit the text to how you want it. You can also use are standard text editing tools to make font bold, italic, highlighted or even insert bullet points.

The bottom half of this page describes search engine optimization, unless you understand SEO I would probably leave this to the default. But feel free to edit this also. This text does not appear on your website it is purely a tool to help your website appear more highly ranked in search engines.

If You Make Any Changes to This Page That You Want To Keep Remember To Hit Save Your Changes!

3.3 - Edit The Products You Wish To Promote


Now is a good time to choose the three products you want your website to review. If you have any products of your own in Clickbank this is a great way for you to promote your own products.

Set up as a default are the top 3 performing products at that moment in time, so I highly suggest you just leave these as they are but maybe just change their reviews, if you want to do this go to the next step which will show you how to edit the reviews for the default top 3 products.

If you do however want to change any of the products you are currently reviewing you need to start by navigating to the "Manage Your Site" tab then click on the "Add A Review" button.

You now have to choose from the drop down menu the affiliate system. If the product you want to review is in the Clickbank network you make sure you have Clickbank selected then click continue.

If the product you want to review is not a Clickbank product but you have a affiliate link for it select Custom Affiliate System. Remember though that Clickbank products are configured automatically so its beneficial using their products.

You now have to choose a product title, the price it retails for and write your review text once you are happy with your review click continue.

Now you are asked to add an image you want to show next to the review to best show the product you are reviewing. This image needs to be 120 x 100 pixels. To add the image, click browse, then try to locate whereabouts on your computer you have saved this image, once you have located it click on the image press open, then click continue in the control panel.

Next step is to add the link to the product you are reviewing, which includes your unique affiliate referral code.

If the product is a Clickbank product then find the product in the Clickbank marketplace. Click Here to go to the Clickbank marketplace. Now by selecting the products category then a keyword to describe the product then click go. When you have found the product like in the example below click create hop link

A new window will open like the one shown below, you need to now enter your Clickbank user id, then once you hit submit, a new window will open with your unique referral link. This is the link that youir need to add in the control panel where it says Product URL, remember to follow the same format as stated ie http://theproductcode.4idiots.hop.clickbank.net/ will be theproductcode.4idiots.hop.clickbank.net

If you are reviewing a product that is not in clickbank then just add your unique refferal code here in the control panel for that product.

Once you have added your corrert affiliate link remember to click finsih you will get a message "The affiliate link has been updated successfully"

3.4 - Edit The Product Reviews

If you want to edit an existing review you need to start by navigating to the "Manage Your Site" tab then click on the "Edit Reviews" button.

Here you can either remove a review, or you can edit a review. To edit a review click Edit review which is found next to the product price. You will be taken to a page where you can edit the Product title, Price and Review text. Also you can make some text bold or in italics etc.

If you want to change the image click browse and try to locate where the image is saved on your computer, once you have located it click on the image press open, then click continue in the control panel.

If you wan to change the affiliate link change the link in the Product URL box. For information on how to create your affiliate link please check the previous step on how to create a review.

Once you are happy with your review, which you can see in full below the affiliate link box click Finish!

3.5 - Edit The Position of The Top Three Products

If you want to re-order your top three products you can do so by navigating to the "Manage Your Site" tab then click on the "Review Positions" button.

To move one of the reviews hover over the review you want to move and hold down the left mouse button and drag the review to the position you want it to now be then let go of the mouse button. This will drop the site review to its new position. The changes will be made to your site automatically

Step 4: Start Getting Visitors To Your Website

OK, so you have your website design set up, you have run the website setup wizard to configure your earning potential to your website and you have set up your 3 product reviews, now what you need is traffic to your website.

You could have the best website in the world but without customers visiting your website you won't earn any commission.

You have a few options here to start getting traffic to your website. One option is to sign up to Google Adsense, and pay per click to appear high up in search engines. This can be expensive though and hard to implement for beginners.

The second option and the option I highly recommend is, sign up to www.Get-Visitors-Now.com who specialize in getting visitors to your website by submitting you to all the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN.

  • Income Stream 4 - Building Up Your Own Opt-In list

Income Stream 1 - Commission From Giving Away Free Websites

Your website includes a banner like the one shown below. This will give your customers the chance to also get a free website of their own. Not only is this a great product that you can offer your customers, but you earn commission just for giving the sites away for free!

Once you logged in you will need to click on the "Statistics" tab then click "DashBoard" icon. Now click on the Income Stream 1, icon to check your affiliate earnings so far.

This income you can also track at the top of your website control panel. You get this commission paid to you on the 1st and 15th of every month* from your affiliate site.

Income Stream 2 - Commission From Google Adsense

Your website includes advertising space which we have allocated to Google Adsense so that you can earn commission from Google every time somebody clicks on one of these ads on your website like shown below.

Once you have signed up for a Google Adsense account you need to add your Adsense ID to the control panel so we can automatically set up your Adsense to your website, its easiest using the website start up wizard to do this. Navigate to the "Your Account" tab then click "Run The Setup Wizard" same as for your Clickbank login ID.

To track how much money you are making from this income stream you will need to login to your Adsense account. The best way to do this is go to the "Statistics" tab in your control panel then click on the Earnings from Google Adsense button.

Income Stream 3 - Commission From Clickbank

Your website is designed to review three products. These three products are actually built in affiliate programs though so when somebody clicks on one of these reviews on your website and then decides to buy that product you will automatically make approx $50 in commission depending on the product. You can choose what products, reviews and theme of your websites from hundreds of built in categories.

To earn the commission you need a Clickbank user ID, and you need to add this in your website control panel which will automatically change the links in your website to your referral id. This way you can track the commission you earn in Clickbank. It will be displayed as shown below.

To track how much money you are making from this income stream you will need to login to your Clickbank account. The best way to do this is go to the "Statistics" tab in your control panel then click on the Earnings from Clickbank button.

If you are reviewing products that are not in Clickbank then you will need to login to your appropriate affiliate program and check your commissions you have earned from them .

Income Stream 4 - Build Up Your Own Opt-In List

An Opt In list is a collection of names and email addresses which can be used by your company to send emails to multiple recipients who opt in to receive promotion and information emails from you. This is a great way for you to earn extra income from your website because the emails you send out promote your products which can drastically increase your sales or they promote somebody else's products and you receive commission for sending them the sales if you use your clickbank referral links.

You can build up your list by adding an opt-in list to your website like the one shown below. Every email promotion normally sales to 7% of your list because it's so targeted. For example 10,000 address and $55 commission a sale is $38500 per email promotion you send.



You can do this by clicking on the ‘Create A Mailing List' button in your control panel. Here you will be given instructions how to implement your own opt-in list to your free website.

All the money you earn from sending out promotional emails will be credited to your Clickbank account if you use a Clickbank affiliate link in your promo emails, so check their to see the money you have earned from sending email promotions.

Tip - Set up follow up emails, so after a day anybody who signs ups to your mailing list gets an email like which shows your top 3 products that you are reviewing. If you add links in your email to these products you will earn commission if that person now buys that product

Tip - Once you have built up a big mailing list you can send a broadcast message to everybody on your list, promoting another Clickbank product. You can create a Clickbank hop link in the usual way and include this in your email.

Tip - Try to speak to other people in this business about JV (Joint ventures) you could say that you will email people on your list promoting their website if the email people on their list to promote theirs.
