Introduction to Using Clickbank.com


Clickbank is the largest affiliate network of digital products in the world. With over 10,000 digital products, including anything from e-books on dog-training, to training manuals on how to make money online, this network will allow you to find just about any informational product to sell online in just about any industry.

There are several different components of Clickbank that you need to understand in order to be able to find your way around efficiently and choose products based on the correct criteria. In this tutorial we are going to walk you through everything from setting-up a Clickbank account to grabbing your linking codes. We'll also outline how to take advantage of a great Clickbank tool offered here at Wealthy Affiliate and show you how to choose "quality" products to promote.

Signing-up For Your Free Account

Before you can promote any of the products within the Clickbank network, you need to have your own unique nickname. It is absolutely free to sign-up for an account and register your nickname. This can be done by visiting the following page:

https://accounts.clickbank.com/public/#/signup/form/key/

Note that Clickbank only allows advertisers from certain countries to join. If your country of residence is not on their list, you will not be able to promote products on the Clickbank network. If this is the case, please do not feel like you are out of luck. There are many other networks online that will likely accept your country and these include:

Cj.com
Linkshare.com
Shareasale.com
Performics.com
ClixGalore.com

When you're in clickbank (marketplace) and you've found a product or service you want to promote, click the red promote button - a pop up window will appear - it will automatically have your nickname in there - and you can add a tracking ID if you want, now click the Create button, a new pop up window will appear with your hop link created

You won't get credit, have you opened a clickbank account? You need to be logged in for it to auto populate, however if you're not logged in you can simply add your nickname - but I always recommend being logged in.

Your nickname will not be in the code, clickbank has updated thier hop links to be secure - this is known as the hoplink shield

Yep take that code and place it on your site wherever you want. Use the code that's in blue it creates that text link, also know you can change the link from Click Here to anything you want.

Copy the code put it on your site - make sure to be in the Text mode of your page or post editor - then simply change the text of Click Here
