Blindingly SIMPLE Way To Easily Add Targeted Hopfeed Clickbank Products To Your Sidebar via HopAd – Affiliate Marketing Tip #3

Good morning gentle reader!

Let me ask you a delightful question.

What do *you*….think about…

HELL?

No, I'm not talking about:

Nor even

Although I will admit, the following is quite a clever comeback:

Ahem.  Methinks I just digressed.  🙂

No indeed, when I personally think about Hell, I think about parents who showcase such a mind-numbing level of selfishness and stubborness that the Green Hornet would dive for the RAID first.

'course, that has nothing to do with today's blog post topic at all! 

Except it *did* give me a dandy excuse to include the above videos.  🙂

Anywhos!

The topic of this week is the joy known as affiliate marketing.  And today is time for Tip #3!

Drumroll please!

Ever want a quick easy way to add niche targeted Clickbank products to your sidebar?

I must credit Bill Vick over at 40 Plus Fitness for reminding me of this goodness!

G'head, click on his link (40 Plus Fitness) and lookie quick-like at the sidebar.

You'll see, under Our Supporters, the following:

And if you click on any of those links, you'll see they go to the targeted affiliate product, along with Bill's clickbank affiliate ID.

Ain't that grand?

And wouldn't you just love to be able to do that yourself?

'course you would! 

And here's how.

---

Step 1.)  Know thy Clickbank ID.

You choose one when you sign up for Clickbank.

Need one?  Grab it here!  It's free.

---

Step 2.)  Visit the Hopfeed page.

Zee page, it be:

www.clickbank.com/account/hopAdBuilder.htm

Here you can choose a Text Ads Builder or a Tab Box Builder.

Choose Text Ads Builder.

---

Step 3.)  Fill out the keywords you'd like to use.

Here's my screen after I added "social marketing" as the keyword., and also "blogSM: for my tracking ID.

Then:

---

Step 4.)  Click NEXT and get to Appearance.

You'll see the following exciting goodness:

See that first dropdown? 

Click on it – you can use any nifty neato popular ad configuration you'd like, including making your own custom size!

Here's an example of me changing the link colors and also setting the number of products (in this case, "rows"), returned.

Notice the "refresh link" on the right at the top of the ads!

This allows you see just how your ads are going to look and feel.

Once you're thrilled down to your not-frost-bitten toes (which I currently have), click on Next and:

Step 5.)  Get your code for your text sidebar widget.

You'll be presented with something like:

<script type="text/javascript">
    hopfeed_template='';
    hopfeed_align='LEFT';
    hopfeed_type='IFRAME';
    hopfeed_affiliate_tid='blogSM';
    hopfeed_affiliate='lingstar';
    hopfeed_fill_slots='true';
    hopfeed_height='800';
    hopfeed_width='250';
    hopfeed_cellpadding='5';
    hopfeed_rows='6';
    hopfeed_cols='1';
    hopfeed_font='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans Serif';
    hopfeed_font_size='9pt';
    hopfeed_font_color='000000';
    hopfeed_border_color='FFFFFF';
    hopfeed_link_font_color='00B029';
    hopfeed_link_font_hover_color='C90D00';
    hopfeed_background_color='FFFFFF';
    hopfeed_keywords='social marketing';
    hopfeed_path='http://lingstar.hopfeed.com';
    hopfeed_link_target='_blank';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" 
src='http://lingstar.hopfeed.com/script/hopfeed.js'>
</script>

Finally:

Step 6.)  Paste that Clickbank Hopfeed code into a text box widget on your sidebar.

And once you do, you'll see something like:

Except, of course, it would be in your sidebar.

Neat, eh?  And remember:

Once you have this code pasted into your text widget on your sidebar, you're home free – you don't have to tweak the product offerings again!  Clickbank does that for you.

If that's not easy, I don't know what is!

Oh, and if you need help for adding text widgets to your sidebar, this quick video shows it nicely!
