The ClickBank Jigsaw

How to Join and Use ClickBank

Some Wealthy Affiliate members are running into trouble joining and using ClickBank.

I joined ClickBank many years ago as both a vendor and as an affiliate, but when I took another look at it recently, much had changed. It seemed much more complicated. Perhaps they have been reading from the Google and Facebook playbook!

So I've put this training together to illustrate how to join ClickBank in the simplest possible fashion, bypassing the optional training etc. etc. and then getting an affiliate link for a product you want to promote as an affiliate.

Thanks for running through that. I have not yet signed up to Clickbank, but it is on the horizon. It is good to know I can skip most of it.

I am not surprised they are looking for you to take the raining and sign up to their FB account. The more information they can get from you the more they will be able to promote to you and or sell to someone else.

I know I am cynical.

Great training, Phil!

I have some questions, though...

So, here's my quandary...

Once you have the hoplink, where do you post it?
As an HTML?
As a short code?

And what appears, just the link, the short code or will an image (banner, logo, etc) appear?

And if you want an image to appear (banner, logo, etc) Is there a way to learn if that affiliate program provides those options?

Great questions, Rudy.

I use a drag and drop editor, so I can only tell you what I do. I don't use/have never used either the WordPress classic or block editors, but I imagine they will have equivalents.

If I want a text link, I enter the text, select the link icon and copy and paste the hoplink (or a pretty link generated from it). The text appears underlined (or whatever I've selected in global typography to represent links) and is live. A visitor clicking on it is taken to the vendor's page with my affiliate link.

If I want an image link, I drag and drop the image icon to where I want it and then fill in its properties to specify the image file, its size and the hoplink as the URL that the image links to.

Within the product's ClickBank listing, there is normally a link to its affiliate program, which will include any banners etc. that the vendor provides.
