Not necessarily.

People who have had distinguished professional careers in other businesses may have a distinct advantage over masses if they are common sense smart, but they certainly don't get an automatic ticket to riches online. There are lots of people who have made solid incomes online who never graduated college or had a true 'white collar' position in corporate world.

Remember, it is absolutely true when "they" say that online mind set needed for success is unique. Online marketing differs from any other type of marketing and demands a simplistic and tactical process in order to produce results. For seasoned professional (Pro), this can be a challenging quandary.

Why? Because people who are educated or have already had profitable careers in other vertical markets are often blinded by their success. Professionals who have had successful careers elsewhere (not online) tend to have a certain stubbornness to them making it difficult to actually "unlearn" some of things they know and learn what they really need to learn in order to make it online.

Stubbornness will certainly slow down a professionals success track and can severely damage optimism. While seasoned professional is smart and experienced, if that professional isn't seasoned and experienced in online world, it won't matter...they will still have to learn how things work on Internet.

Quite simply, if a person hasn't had a successful online business, they are a newbie, regardless of their past history. Sure, people that are ex-professionals might have smarts to leap ahead of rest of pack if they have similar or transferable experience, but if they don't concentrate on basics, they can fail just as easily as someone uneducated or inexperienced in any type of career.

In order for seasoned Pros to be successful online, they have to reflect on their past building blocks that made them successful in their chosen profession and remember that any success is built around fundamentals. Acknowledging that online world is different than any other, and recognizing that certain basic steps need to be taken, are 2 vital concepts that must be engrained into a professionals mind set for starting and succeeding in an online business.

This Clickbank setup really is an easy task once you know how. Hopefully what I am about to show you will save you some time, especially if you are selling a digital product...

Your primary sales page of your site should send reader to your order page when reader clicks "order" button...on your order page, customer orders by clicking "Order" button. Do yourself a favor, re-iterate what customer will get on your order page and drive home your guarantee again also.

On your order page, there should be an order button that, when clicked, will open up a Clickbank page where user will put in his or her personal information (country, state, zip) to Clickbank.

At this point user is sent to another Clickbank page where user will put in his or her personal and payment/credit card information.

After user puts in credit card information and sale is approved, Clickbank sends user to another Clickbank page that has heading "Click Here to Complete Sale" and it gives Clickbank order number on that page.

After user clicks that "Click Here to Complete Sale" link, Clickbank will send user to your "Thank You" page.

NOTE: You will have to let Clickbank know where your "Thank You" page is located when you sign up with Clickbank...they make it very easy. When I say "where its located", I mean URL of "Thank You Page".

Make your "Thank You" URL page something odd, something that cannot be guessed by someone...this will cut down on theft.

Make your "Thank You" URL page something like: "www.yourwebsite.com/ebk2av184-ntx.html" where "ebk2av184-ntx.html" is name of html file of "Thank You" page.

Your"Thank You" page will be built in your HTML Editor...it will be a html file that you'll have to upload to your site, just like you would any other web page on your site. In example above you would have named page "ebk2av184-ntx.html".
