There was no doubting how important the services at Clickbank Pirate are to current affiliate marketing trends when you saw the hit counter screaming during their launch yesterday. Affiliates from around the world, and those wanting to learn affiliate marketing both snapped up memberships left right and center as soon as the easrly-bird notice went out to the 10,000 marketers who had signed up for the advance notice list.

Add those poeple to the rest who flocked in when the site officially opened to the public, and it’s no wonder the server was bogged down for much of the first day! One has to congratulate Cindy Battye and Soren Jordansen on delivering a service so obviously wanted and needed in the affiliate marketing community.

And what are those services specifically? Members at Clickbank Pirate get ready-made affiliate sales funnels each month – a complete system from the giveaway report & squeeze page to the main product listing and pre-sell e-course to help sell it. Each product featured this way is from a merchant in the Clickbank marketplace, so affiliates using the Clickbank Pirate service are paid their affiliate commissions directly through Clickbank, eliminating any worries over payment – after all, in 10 years Clickbank has never paid even one affiliate as much as one day late – a perfect record almost unmatched in the industry!

At the heart of the system are the video squeeze pages that start the whole process, offering a free download in exchange for opting in, and thast begins the e-course to both educate the prospect on their topic of interest and lead them to purchase the featured affiliate product. For this first month, the video squeeze pages included are:

Go ahead and take a look at those video squeeze pages – they open in a new window so you don’t lose your spot here. Notice that each gift is targeted specifically to attract very targeted traffic for the offer involved:

Clickbank Pirate uses the Clickbank Treasure Map as it’s free gift;
Internet Wealth uses a Basic Format For Internet Wealth report;
My Free Website Builder uses 25 Tips for High Converting Websites (Grab that one now!);
Blogging to the Bank uses a Secret Blogging Blueprint;
Commissions Blueprint’s report is an Easy BluePrint for Massive Clickbank Commissions, and
Atomic Blogging uses their How To become An Atomic Blogger report.

This is really important – giving an article marketing gift to lead into a product about blogging would flop, because article martketers and bloggers are two different crowds, for the most part. As such a blogger wouldn’t bother signing up for the report, where an article marketer would, but then wouldn’t be interested in the product you’re trying to lead them to buy.

But Clickbank Pirate doesn’t jsut stop there – they also give you resources to help market these sites. For example, a sample e-mail to go with Blogging To The Bank:

However, you’ve never made one have you? Where do you start?

What could be simpler? Notice it already has my name and affiliate link embedded – just put the correct personalization in for your autoresponder’s first name field and fire it off to your double opt-in list!

Don’t have a list built yet? Here’s two sample tweets they provide for Atomic Blogging:

This free report will help your blog rank higher in search engines: http://tinyurl.com/mozruk

And you don’t even have to copy & paste those, you just hit the Tweet This link under each tweet!

Then there are articles, blog posts – here’s the Thank You page ad to go with Commissions Blueprint:


There are even buttons and banners for your sites or blogs for each one, like these:

But the best of all is that you don’t have to create any of these – they’re already designed, sitting there waiting for you to pick them up and put them to use!

Now, because Clickbank Pirate is a site specifically for affiliates, you already know that every one of those is an affiliate link I’m using, and each of them is already in place within the system for me – I didn’t even have to make up my own affiliate hoplinks for them. And that’s the other beauty of the program – it’s affiliate program for Clickbank Pirate itself! Just one more way to make money from the site…

So here’s my recommendation – and it’s a biased one. (Not so much because I want you to spend money, but because I’m excited at how much I’M making with the site, and know any serious affiliate marketer will feel the same!) Get into the site, hook up with the Clickbank Pirate affiliate program, and start referring other members. Keep it up til you’re making about 3x what you’re paying for membership, to cover your costs even after a few month’s attrition. Then once you’ve reached that point, shift your focus to driving traffic into your affiliate funnels, and start going after pure profits that way.

Keep an eye on your referrals to the main site, and if they start to drop off after a few months then switch back, build up your reserves again and then go back to promoting your turn-key sites. That’s the way I’m going to handle it, and I know it works for me because my commissions, already in my Clickbank account just 14 hours after the site launched, are already well into 3-figures!

While my results aren’t typical by any means, you may do better, you may do worse and you may not make anything – especially if you don’t put in the effort to promote the site and your turnkey affiliate funnels! But hopefully I’ve achieved my goal here, to show you what resources are included and how I intend to use them. Whether you do the same or not is up to you, but I certainly don’t hesitate in suggesting your should give Clickbank Pirate your best shot and see how you do with it!
