Even though this smells a bit like a troll, like looking for a response to use to start a flame war, I'll respond anyway, it's been one of those days. Hopefully this will be seen as constructive, which is the intent of my response. Full Disclosure: I've been through the wars, have chosen the "quick and dirty" path before, and fortunately, learned the error of my ways. Wish I'd heard something like this before I went down those paths, which eventually cost me far more (dollars and personal respect) before I finally learned that I should be looking for the long term, not a quick return for minimal effort. Spent a small fortune along the way reaching for the next shiny object, before I got smart and settled in for the long (though initially slower) path to sustainable success.

Perhaps you have the cart before the horse. Most folks start with an idea of what they want to do, then get hosting and a domain name that will rank for the topic (niche) they are considering.

If you've already registered in Clickbank, I have to assume that you intend to do some affiliate marketing for one (or more) of the vendors on ClickBank.

There are tons of programs available here on BBHF that relate to various methods of affiliate marketing. Some of them are better than others, but because I'm no longer participating in affiliate marketing, I cannot provide a decent review of anything that is currently working.

Yes, various methods come and go. Some quit working after a while (mostly because they take advantage of some loophole that gets closed) but others are evergreen. That is, they continue to work year after year, and only need relatively small tweaks along the way.

You really need to look at what resonates with you. If your only goal is to make a hundred dollars a month, you really have no direction. Look at what you like, what you're interested in, and what you can believe in. Then take a look at the offerings on Clickbank to see what matches with your demeanor and interests. It's a whole lot easier to promote something you believe in and know at least a little about than some random other thing that might have a high rating. Bear in mind that the higher the rating on Clickbank, the higher the competition (because more people that couldn't really give a whit about it are promoting it just because it's currently popular.)

Internet marketing isn't a quick buck. Sure, there are some ways to grab a quick buck, but it takes a lot more work than most folks will admit. The problem with a quick buck is that it ends right away. You have to find another "scam" to promote for another quick buck, over and over. Yes, I used the word scam, because many of the quick buck methods are just that, scamming for a quick response.

Real internet marketing takes dedication, work, and a vision (or at least an understanding) of what you like and want to be associated with. You need to build a brand, with the idea of creating a long term business that can sustain long term sales (and commissions if you're going the affiliate route) so you don't have to start over every few weeks (or months).

Sorry, this may not be what you were hoping to hear (read), but it's the real world. Yeah, I know that 90% of the "programs" out there are about making the quick buck, but the way they make the quick bucks are by selling the how to make a quick buck programs, not by actually executing what they tell you works. You just have to have the discipline to look for the ones that are really about building a long term business.

Yeah, PT Barnum said "there's a sucker born every minute" and with today's world with the relatively anonymous internet, you can try to be one of the charlatans that would have been run out of town once the locals caught on, or strive to be someone that spends some time with introspection, to find out what fits your psyche and moral compass, and looks for something that you can build into a long term business that matches your inner needs, which will ultimately make you more money than a series of "quick buck" efforts, and overall, for a whole lot less effort. Not that it's going to be easy (most of the quick buck programs lie to you to get you to buy, it's really not all that easy any more) but with a decent amount of dedication and work, you really can build a business worthy of calling your own (and one you'd be willing to put your real name on).

Don 't take this as negative, just look at what can do to start the process of working toward a long term, viable business you can be proud of.
As a start, think about what you like, what you know something about, and what you are willing to do more work on to learn the "rest of the story", to be come intimate with the ins and outs of the topic (niche) so you can truly become the subject expert. If you do find something that works for you, that resonates with your being, the work you perform won't seem like much work at all, and you'll eventually be a success if you pay attention and work towards the goal of building a sustainable, long term business.
