Clickbank – A Guide To Clickbank Part 2

 

    

     Here is Part 2 in my series of Clickbank posts.

 

 

 

Why Clickbank?

 

Clickbank is an online retailer, it is the largest digital information site today with an affiliate program network. This  means that it acts as a gateway for publishers and affiliates. This is what makes it relatively easy for anyone to find products that they can promote and earn good commissions from.

 

One of the great thing about Clickbank is that it is easy to set-up an account with, this makes it easy for you to start earning money right away. It uses a “hoplink” system that allows you to insert your affiliate ID, all you need to do is create a nickname that is embedded in your selected product’s URL and you can start selling or promoting the product.

 

Becoming a Clickbank affiliate is also free, there are no registration fees, no hidden charges and no other fees that will be charged if you decide to become an affiliate. You can simply go to the site, choose to become an affiliate and register. Once you do that, you can go ahead and browse through the products available in the Marketplace and choose those that you want to promote. You then proceed to promoting those products and then earn commissions on every sale that you make. Remember that you can earn anywhere from 10% to as much as 75% of the sale value as commission on any sale that is made through your promotion efforts.

 

 

If you have an existing home based business website, or blog, you can start making money without  creating a product of your own. Clickbank gives you a wide choice of products to promote so you can earn money right away.
Clickbank is built on a platform that truly works, people get paid regularly and on time, products get delivered and it is a win-win for all concerned.

 

 

For all the ten years that Clickbank has been in business, it prides itself on never being late for payment even once. Considering the sheer numbers of transactions that they handle on a daily basis, their ability to keep track of who gets paid and paying those people on time is not something to be taken lightly.

 

 

Clickbank also handles recurring billing subscriptions or memberships through its Marketplace. Anyone with an account can offer up to 500 products, this means that mixing in a few recurring billing products to an affiliate’s portfolio or products means a regular monthly income.

 

 

Clickbank also handles all the transactions involving payment of commissions to affiliates. This means that publishers can rest easy and focus on developing new products to sell, publishers will not have to keep track of who sells what when and how much is due that affiliate. Clickbank takes care of everything.

 

 

Clickbank even issues refunds when required. Publishers can go on creating new products without any added stress. All this is available for only a small fraction of the total price of the products, considering all the advantages it seems more like a wise investment.

 

 

Clickbank also provides its partners with the information that really matters, they provide real-time tracking reports, this means that whenever there is a sale of your product, you can login to your account and see the sales records. You can also check the performance of your promotion efforts at any time night or day.

 

 

Look out for my next post when I will be telling you how to sign up for an account. Do you use Clickbank? how do you find it? I would love to know your thoughts, please leave me a comment.

 

To your success

Thanks for reading

Pauline

    Hey, Pauline

    When I first started trying to make money online, Clickbank was on the top of my list.

    I love that you can just sign up and have thousands of products to promote at your finger tips, the choice is overwhelming. (But in a good way)

    I only ever used Clickbank as an affiliate, but I’m sure being a publisher you wouldn’t have any problems. Really a great place everyone, also not being reliant on Paypal as your only payment processor it important.

      Hi Simmeon
      It’s great to have you stop by my blog, thanks for visiting :)
      Yes it was top of my list too! It takes a little while to sort through all the products in the marketplace but their search function is very good, so if you are looking for a specific niche then it’s easy to find products.
      I think we all need to find an alternative to PayPal at times so Clickbank is a good one.
      Have a great weekend

        Pauline,

        Something looks different.
        Is it a new theme? Or is my mind playing tricks on me.

          Hi Simmeon
          Yes you are correct it is a new theme lol I did have the old version of this one but it was not working how I wanted it but now I have an updated one so I changed back from the one you saw when you first visited my blog (I was not too happy with that one!)
          Have a great day

    I’ve had a clickbank account since 2002, and it’s changed a lot over the years – both good and bad.

    Never listed a product, but promoted plenty, and the quality in the marketplace is starting to pick up again as people are shying away from sites like WarriorPlus, DigiResults, JVZoo due to potential issues with paypal and affiliate payments.

    Also I see that you’ve upgraded to thesis, I’ve bought it, but don’t have the time to install it just yet.

      Hi Andrew
      Wow you have had a Clickbank account for a while now, hope you have been successful with it!
      There are some products that are not so good but many more very good ones and if you sift through the marketplace, like I said to Simmeon you can find some great proucts to promote.

      Hope you have a great weekend and come back for a visit again soon :)

    Hi Pauline

    I’m getting closer to being a publisher on ClickBank. Well, I started editing the ebook I’ve been writing again and will hopefully get some time to finish it.

    Once I’m finally finished, I will definitely use Clickbank to publish it.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers

    Tim

    P.S. Thank you for sending me those squeeze pages. They will come in very handy.

    Hey Pauline

    The thing I like about promoting Clickbank products is that you know that your definitely going to be paid…

    The only problem I had was when I was first starting out and it took ages until I got my first payment but apart from that its fab…

    I’ve only ever promoted as an affiliate but I am selling my own product on Clickbank very soon so I’ll get to see it from both sides.

    Hope you are well

      Hi Dawn
      Yes I think we all have the same problem at the beginning, trying to meet the criteria for our first check, but once that is out the way they pay every 2 weeks and that is also what I like.
      Looking forward to seeing your own products on Clickbank, keep me posted so I can take a look :)
      Have a great day and thanks for stopping by again.
