The Fastest Way To Make Money On Clickbank! (FREE Method) Reaction And Review

A video making the rounds claims you can make money with Clickbank fast and completely free. The promise: find a Clickbank product that has downloadable video sales pages, grab those videos, upload them to Bitchute, title them with the product name, and watch the commissions come in. Alston watched that video, ran the numbers live on camera, and checked what people who had already tried this exact method were actually earning.

The short version: the math does not add up. But this reaction video is worth your time anyway, because buried inside the debunk is a genuinely workable keyword research approach that small creators are already using to rank on YouTube and TikTok right now. By the end you will know exactly why the Bitchute method fails and exactly what to do instead to give yourself a real shot at Clickbank commissions.

What the “Fastest Free Clickbank Method” Actually Tells You to Do

The original video being reviewed walks through a step-by-step process that sounds easy on paper. First, you go to Clickbank and browse the marketplace until you find a product that includes downloadable video content in its affiliate tools section. The video uses The Smoothie Diet 21 Day Rapid Weight Loss Program as the example product because when you open the affiliate tools for that offer, you find video sales pages you can actually download to your computer.

Second, you download those video files. Third, you create an account on Bitchute, which is presented as a free YouTube alternative. Fourth, you upload the videos there. Fifth, you title each video using the product name, so something like “smoothie diet 21 day rapid weight loss program,” which is exactly what the original program is called. The idea is that people searching for that phrase will find your Bitchute video, click through, and buy the product through your affiliate link. Free traffic, no original content required.

How to Spot a Solid Clickbank Affiliate Program

Before digging into what goes wrong, it is worth noting that Alston points out what actually does look good about the Smoothie Diet affiliate program. Strong affiliate programs on Clickbank give you real tools to work with, and the Smoothie Diet has some of them.

Specifically, look for demographic data that tells you which gender and age range is most likely to buy. That information is useful if you are ever running Facebook ads. Look for email swipes, which are pre-written email sequences you can adapt for your own list. Look for banners you can use on a blog or website. And look for multiple video sales pages at different price points. The Smoothie Diet checks most of these boxes, which means it is a legitimate product to promote. The problem is not the product. The problem is the platform.

The Bitchute Audience Problem: 195,000 vs 845 Million

Alston pulled up Ahrefs and searched Bitchute to get a sense of the platform’s organic traffic. The number he found was approximately 195,000 organic monthly visitors. Then he pulled up YouTube for comparison. According to Statista, YouTube has 845 million monthly active users.

That difference is not a rounding error. It is roughly 4,000 times the audience. And the gap is even wider when you narrow it down by topic. When Alston searched for health and weight loss terms specifically on Bitchute, the volume was thin. People on Bitchute are not primarily there to find diet programs. The platform skews toward a specific type of content that has little overlap with people searching for smoothie diets and weight loss plans. Knowing this matters before you spend hours downloading and re-uploading videos to a platform where your target audience is not spending time.

What the Real Numbers on Bitchute Actually Show

Alston did not just compare platform sizes in the abstract. He went directly to Bitchute and searched for the phrase “smoothie diet 21 day rapid weight loss program,” which is exactly the keyword the original video recommends using as your video title. Here is what he found.

There were already 90 videos on Bitchute using that exact keyword. People had tried this method ahead of you. Then Alston looked at the view counts. One video had been live for 1 year and 5 months, which works out to roughly 17 months, and it had accumulated 363 total views. Others in the same search had 152 views and 119 views. Not one of the 90 videos had crossed 1,000 views. And one additional detail: the top-performing channel running this strategy had been blocked by Bitchute itself for violating the platform’s community guidelines around what it calls “platform misuse.” The most-viewed video in the whole category was gone.

The Conversion Math That Closes the Case

Once you know the view counts, the commission math becomes straightforward. Alston walked through it live. Take the best-performing example: 363 total views over 17 months. A realistic affiliate conversion rate for someone just starting out is between 1 and 3 percent. An experienced affiliate marketer might see 3 percent. Let’s use 3 percent as the optimistic ceiling.

363 views multiplied by 0.03 equals roughly 10 people who might have clicked and converted over 17 months. That is less than one potential buyer per month at the absolute best-case scenario. And Alston notes that in practice the conversion rate is probably lower than 3 percent for re-uploaded vendor content because you have no relationship with those viewers. They found a video that already looks like an ad. Trust is zero. If you wanted to earn $100 per day with an affiliate commission of, say, $30 per sale, you would need somewhere between 100 and 1,000 clicks that actually convert. Getting 21 views per month on Bitchute will not produce that result in any reasonable time frame.

What Actually Works: Low-Competition Keyword Research

After running the numbers on the Bitchute approach, Alston pivots to what a real working strategy looks like using the same Clickbank product as the example. The method he demonstrates starts with Ahrefs, the keyword research tool. You go to the “matching terms” section, type in a broad keyword related to your niche (for the weight loss niche, try something like “calories”), and then filter the results by keyword difficulty.

Set keyword difficulty to 10 or less. Better yet, drop it to 5 or less. What Alston found when he did this for the weight loss niche was staggering: queries like “calories in McDonald’s small fries” showed up with approximately 10 million monthly searches and a difficulty score that is genuinely manageable for a small creator. That is real search demand from real people who are counting calories because they want to lose weight. Those are exactly the people who might be interested in a product like the Smoothie Diet.

Other examples that showed up in the same search: “English muffin calories,” “quarter pounder calories,” and similar query formats. These are not glamorous topics. But they are topics with consistent monthly search volume and no major content gatekeepers holding the ranking spots.

Small Channels Already Ranking for These Keywords

To prove this is not theoretical, Alston went directly to YouTube and searched the same terms. Here is what he found when he searched “how many calories are in a croissant”: a channel with 1,230 subscribers had a video on that topic with 840 views. A different channel with 2,900 subscribers had a video titled “healthy croissant recipe lowest calorie croissants” with 4,200 views. One video answering a calories question was only 36 seconds long and was already ranking.

Then Alston searched “calories” as a broader keyword and found that a channel with about 1,000 subscribers had a video with 7,100 views, posted about a year prior. These are not large channels. These are creators who found a gap, answered a specific question, and ranked because the competition was low enough for a small channel to get traction. That is the opening the Bitchute strategy completely ignores.

TikTok and Pinterest Are Real Traffic Sources Too

YouTube is not the only platform where this approach works. Alston mentions TikTok and Pinterest as additional places where low-competition informational content can find an audience without requiring a large following to start.

On TikTok, a 36-second video answering “how many calories are in a croissant” can reach people who are watching food and nutrition content. You answer the question, then close with something like “click the link in my bio for my number one recommended way to hit your weight loss goal.” That link goes to your Clickbank affiliate page. On Pinterest, you can create a pin with a graphic showing the calorie breakdown, link it to a blog post or landing page, and funnel readers toward the same affiliate offer. These platforms have hundreds of millions of users who are genuinely searching for health and nutrition information, unlike Bitchute.

The Real Method, Step by Step

Go to Clickbank and find a product in a niche you can speak to; check the affiliate tools page for demographic data, email swipes, and at least one video sales page.
Note the target audience from the demographic data so you know exactly who you are making content for.
Open Ahrefs and type a broad niche term (for weight loss: try “calories,” “diet,” or “weight loss”) into the matching terms search.
Filter keyword difficulty to 5 or less and look for queries with at least several thousand monthly searches.
Cross-check the keyword on YouTube by searching it directly; look for small channels already ranking to confirm that real people are searching there.
Create one short video or post per keyword; answer the question completely and honestly in 30 to 90 seconds if you are on TikTok, or a slightly longer format on YouTube.
Add your affiliate link CTA in the description or bio; keep it simple and direct (“click the link below for my number one recommended way to lose weight”).
Repeat across 10 to 20 keywords before judging results; one piece of content is not a test, a body of content is.

Honest Drawbacks to Know Before You Start

The keyword research approach is more sustainable than the Bitchute upload method, but it is not without its own challenges. First, it takes time. Creating 10 to 20 pieces of content on a consistent schedule is actual work. Unlike downloading a video and uploading it somewhere else, you need to show up on camera or invest in production.

Second, keyword difficulty of 5 or less does not guarantee ranking. It means the competition is lower, not zero. A new channel or account may still take 60 to 90 days to rank even for easy terms. Third, Ahrefs is a paid tool. There are free alternatives like Google Keyword Planner or YouTube’s autocomplete suggestions that can approximate the same research, but the filter functionality Alston demonstrates requires a paid Ahrefs subscription. Fourth, TikTok’s algorithm rewards consistency and posting frequency. One video about croissant calories will not go viral on its own; a dozen of them built around a coherent theme give you a much better chance.

Find Your X

Before picking a Clickbank product and running keyword research in a niche, it helps to know which business model actually fits your situation. The keyword content approach works well for some people and feels like pulling teeth for others, depending on your skills, your schedule, and what you are actually willing to do consistently. If you are not sure where to start, finder.platformproof.com walks you through a short set of questions and gives you a personalized recommendation based on what you already know and what you have time for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bitchute a legitimate platform for affiliate marketing?

Bitchute is a real platform, but its audience is small and specialized. As of the time this video was recorded, Bitchute received around 195,000 organic monthly visitors according to Ahrefs data. The platform skews toward niche political and alternative content, which means health and weight loss offers have very limited reach there. People are not going to Bitchute to search for diet programs the way they do on YouTube or Pinterest.

What conversion rate should I expect for Clickbank affiliate products?

According to Alston, a realistic conversion rate for a beginner doing affiliate marketing is between 1 and 3 percent. Experienced affiliates may reach 3 percent with warmed-up audiences and strong presell content. If you are sending cold traffic from re-uploaded videos to a direct sales page with no relationship built, your actual conversion rate will likely sit at the lower end of that range or below it.

How long does it take to start earning commissions with the keyword content approach?

There is no universal answer, but building 10 to 20 pieces of content consistently on YouTube or TikTok and then waiting 60 to 90 days for traction is a reasonable expectation. Some keywords will rank in weeks, others will take months, and a few will never rank at all. The goal is to create enough content that a portion of it gets traction and sends steady traffic to your affiliate links over time.

Does this keyword strategy only work for weight loss and health niches?

No. Alston uses the weight loss niche as the example because the video being reviewed features a weight loss product, but the same process works in any niche with search demand. You find a Clickbank product, identify the audience it serves, and then use Ahrefs or similar tools to find low-competition informational keywords those people are searching for. Personal finance, cooking, pet care, and software tutorials are all examples of niches where this approach can work.

Do I need to pay for Ahrefs to do this type of keyword research?

Alston uses Ahrefs in the video because it gives him the ability to filter by keyword difficulty and see precise monthly search volume quickly. Ahrefs is a paid tool. If you are not ready to pay for it, you can approximate the same research using YouTube’s search autocomplete (type a keyword and see what phrases populate), Google’s “People Also Ask” boxes, and free tools like Ubersuggest’s free tier. You will have less precise data, but the core approach still works.

Can I promote Clickbank products without ever appearing on camera?

Yes. Pinterest pins require images and text, not video. A blog post targeting a low-competition keyword can rank on Google and link to your affiliate offer without any video at all. Even on YouTube, some creators use screen recordings, slideshow-style presentations, or AI voiceovers rather than appearing on camera. The keyword content approach does not require a specific format, just honest and useful content that answers what the searcher is actually looking for.

What makes a Clickbank product worth promoting vs one to avoid?

Alston mentions several signals of a quality affiliate program: demographic targeting data that helps you understand the buyer, email swipe copy that shows the vendor has thought about how affiliates communicate value, and multiple sales pages or price points. You also want to check the product’s gravity score on Clickbank, which reflects how many affiliates have made sales recently. A gravity score that is too low means few people are converting. A score that is reasonable suggests there is real buyer demand.

How many pieces of content do I need before I should expect to see results?

One video or pin is not a test of whether the strategy works. Alston does not give a specific number in this video, but the general principle in content-based affiliate marketing is that you need enough content across enough keywords to have statistical odds in your favor. Publishing 10 to 20 pieces of content targeting different low-competition keywords gives you multiple chances for something to rank and send traffic. Some creators see their first commission at 5 pieces of content; others need 30 or 40. Consistency over 90 days is a more useful measure than counting individual pieces.
