A few months before the ‘Big Stock Market Crash’ in 1929, a famous rich guy EXITED the stock market after a ‘Shoeshine’ boy gave him stock tips.
He figured that if the ‘shoeshine’ boys are giving stock market tips, the market must be too popular for it’s own good.
So what are the shoeshine boys talking about now?
These days, the new profit platform for many people entering the online world is ‘Affiliate Marketing’. Affiliate marketing is probably the easiest way to make money online. Affiliate marketing is also the easiest way to lose money, if you take tips from the ‘shoeshine’ boys.
Who are these ‘shoeshine’ boys in the affiliate marketing industry?
Products and websites that promise, to show you how to make money with Affiliate Marketing?
Websites with a lot of hypes and screen shots of their earnings?
I can not tell for sure. That is for you to decide for yourself.
For Affiliate marketers picking the right products, to promote in any niche is key to success. But it is challenging. Especially for marketers who promote products using Clickbank’s Marketplace.
The stats provided by Clickbank is quite useful, but it does not guarantee any success.
Marketers preach testing EVERYTHING, but the truth is most affiliate marketers do not test. (I am guilty of this myself)
It is fair to say that most marketers do not test at all. Tracking at best for many are clicks and sales.
Is there an easier way, to ensure a high degree of success to your benefit when it comes to picking products that convert well?
The lazy and fast way to pick products on Clickbank is to ‘Reverse Engineer’ the strategies that other SUCCESSFUL Clickbank affiliates advertise.
It’s a little sneaky, but it’s not unethical. It saves you a lot of time on ‘testing’ new products. Plus, it saves you money with advertising products that may not convert well.
Here’s a quick way to find out which products you should pick to test on your list, or spend money advertising:
1. Find out top affiliate earners in the market you want to advertise. (Avoid shoeshine boys, and pick serious affiliate marketers who test)
2. Subscribe to their list. Filter their promotional emails, in an organized manner in your email program.
3. Watch and monitor EVERY product that they are promoting, and the frequency of promotions they do.
4. Pick those products to test and promote to your list, and to advertise online.
The hardest part of this whole process is to determine who the top earners are, in a specific niche. If you watch a market long enough with watchful eyes, eventually you will figure out who is actually making money in that niche and who the ‘shoeshiners’ are.
Here is a pointer: Some of the top Affiliate Marketers are marketers who spend BIG MONEY on advertising the same offer FREQUENTLY, and for a LONGER period of time.

Reverse Engineering does make it a lot easier in getting your clickbank promotions.
This is something that the “BIG” marketers online are doing and it is working for them
so why not take advantage of it.
Thanks for getting out this “little secret”.
