You just can't be in any online business today without somehow stumbling across Clickbank.com, which is by far one of the largest and biggest product network sites on the net. 

At any given time this monster-mall of affiliate products is offering over ten thousand items to promote! 

In turn these products are marketed to the world at large by an excess of over 100,000 active affiliate sales people, many who are expert professionals that make their living exclusively by selling for Clickbank. 

One of the most interesting things about Clickbank is that it is like a creaky old ship that has launched a thousand online marketing careers. It is the place where you find the most beginners in marketing because it is so easy to use. It is also a non-discriminatory and cheap place to start up an affiliate business and the site itself has great online assistance and pays both affiliates and publishers in an expedient and fair manner. 

Many people who have had absolutely no experience marketing at all got their first virtual experience selling by marketing products on Clickbank. 

The reason I decided to write a book about Clickbank is because one of the biggest mistakes that most beginners make when they first enlist with the site is "leaving it to fate" when they pick products to promote. 

To make money on Clickbank it is best to have a bit of strategy when it comes to picking products that will sell. The plain truth is that some are better sellers than others but these products may have been exploited by another affiliate already - to the extent that you don't have a chance of making a great deal of money! 

So in a nutshell, the two main keys to opening the vault to Clickbank success are: 

1) know how to choose a non-exploited product or service that will sell 
2) know how to attract targeted traffic using artful promotional techniques! 

These two keys to Clickbank success are discussed thoroughly in Exploiting Clickbank for Fast Profits.
