Make Money With Clickbank For Beginners

March 16, 2008

Promoting products from Clickbank is a great way to make money online. Clickbank is a website that connects people who create digital products with people to promote them, which are affiliates.

Clickbank is popular mainly because of the high commissions offered. While Amazon offers its affiliates 4% commission, affiliates can earn up to 75% commission with Clickbank products. You can’t find such high commission rates anywhere else.

The other benefits of being a Clickbank affiliate is it’s free and easy to sign up, you can get started immediately without going having to be approved, you get to pick what you want to promote from a wide variety of products, and you don’t have to invest a single cent to get started. You don’t need any special skills or money to be a Clickbank affiliate.

If you are new to Clickbank, you should go to the website and look around the marketplace to see what type of products are being offered. Most of the products are e-books, but there are also downloads, software, and any type of product that is digital instead of physical.

Before you get started as a Clickbank affiliate, you need to choose a niche. Some examples would be potty training, making money online, dating, weight loss, Ipod downloads, and French.

After you have chosen your niche, you need to sign up to be an affiliate on Clickbank, then look at all the products offered related to your niche. You can type in a keyword and search for all products related to your keyword or you can select a category and view all products in that category. Take a look at the sales page by clicking “view pitch page” to see if it looks like something you want to promote. Pay attention to the price and what percentage the commission is. Clickbank commissions tend to be high, which is good news for you.

In the Clickbank marketplace, there will be numbers below the title and description of the products. One of those says “grav”, which means gravity. “Top Movie Downloads” has a gravity of 257.29 while “Traffic Ticket Secrets” has a gravity of 5.69. The higher the gravity is, the more affiliates there are promoting that product. So you know there are a lot of affiliates promoting “Top Movie Downloads” but not many are promoting “Traffic Ticket Secrets”. If you want to promote a product, then you should, without even paying attention to the gravity. Some people prefer to pick the most popular products, while others choose to promote a product where they won’t have a lot of competition.

  • Once you have selected what you want to promote, click on “create hoplink”. Then you just type in your user id and now you’ve got a hoplink to a Clickbank product. You need to save this hoplink. Open up a Word document and copy and paste your hoplink there along with information about the product it goes to.
  • Anytime someone clicks on your hoplink they will go to the sales page of that product. If someone decides to order, you will get credit for their order and earn a commission. You can always check your commissions by logging into your Clickbank account.

You aren’t stuck with promoting just one product. You can choose to promote as many as you want, there is no limit. It’s better to start with one or two and work on writing reviews and getting traffic to your website and then signing up with more if you want to.

Thousands of people are earning money every month just by promoting a product someone else created, and you can too!
