With ClickBank making money is fairly straight forward and easy. It involves a simple and
repeatable set of actions that I will describe in this article. With ClickBank making money doesn't
have to be hard, and there are definitely no hidden "guru" secrets involved.
In my opinion, with ClickBank making money is a foregone conclusion...if you know how.
Becoming a ClickBank affiliate is a quick and easy process. What is an affiliate? An affiliate is
someone who promotes a product or service to would-be customers in exchange for a commission
on the sale when one occurs.
This ClickBank Making Money - Getting Started Guide is divided into three sections.
ClickBank Making Money - Getting Started Guide (Step 1): Create and Account
In order to become a ClickBank affiliate, you need to create an account. Go to ClickBank.com and
fill out the ClickBank sign up form. The process only takes a few minutes. You will be required to
enter your contact information so ClickBank can get a hold of you to send you your earnings. Once
you've completed the sign-up form, you will receive an e-mail that will include an 8-digit
confirmation code, your account nickname, and your password, which will be identical to the
confirmation code within the e-mail.
After you create your account and receive the confirmation e-mail, click the confirmation link. You
will be sent to a confirmation page. Click the Log In link at the top of the screen. After you enter
your login information, you will be taken to the Account Home Page. This is the page where you'll
be able to keep track of your earnings.
Click the Account Settings tab and you will see the information you entered during the sign-up
procedure. If you have listed a U.S. address, you will see a field called Tax ID flashing obnoxiously
in the Account Information area. All affiliates earning more than $600 a year (which will include
yourself if you follow this ClickBank Making Money - Getting Started Guide) are required to fill this
information out. Simply click the link Tax I.D. Information in the My Account Help sidebar and
ClickBank will help you get this step completed for free.
On the Account Home Page, you will see sections titled Contact Information, Payment Information,
Integrated Sales Reporting, Clerk API Keys, and Developer API Keys. You do not need to fill out
any additional e-mail addresses or phone numbers in the Contact Information section because
your basic account e-mail and phone number have already been entered. You will notice that in
the Payment Information section there are two fields titled Payment Threshold and Payment
Method. Payment Threshold is the minimum amount you need to earn before ClickBank will send

2. you a check. You can edit this threshold amount by clicking Edit on the top right corner of the
Payment Information Box. When an affiliate first begins he or she can only receive payments in
the form of a check. After you have received two checks, however, you will have the option to
receive your payments through direct deposit.
On the Account Home Page, you will notice links to other pages titled My Site, My Products, and
My Images. These pages are only relevant to ClickBank vendors and you do not need to fill them
out.
ClickBank Making Money - Getting Started Guide (Step 2): Select a Product to Promote
On the My Account Homepage you will notice a link at the very top of the screen titled,
"Marketplace." Click it! On the left side of the landing page you will see a list of product categories.
The number one thing, in my opinion, that an affiliate should take into account when choosing
products to promote is knowledge of the product itself. This does not mean you have to be an
expert, it just means that you should at least have enough knowledge to write about something in
the product's general category or have the research skills to find the information you will need to
write an informative review on the product.
Once you have decided on a category, ClickBank will present a list of all their products within that
category. You will notice a Sort-By query box near the top of the screen. It will, by default, be set
to sort the list by popularity. There are other bits of information that are far more useful to affiliates
than popularity. They are, Gravity, Avg%/Sale, and Avg Rebill Total and Avg $/Sale. Gravity refers
to the number of affiliates who have earned a commission by promoting a particular vendor's
product(s). A high gravity score means that the vendor has many affiliates earning money by
promoting their product. This value is a strong indicator to you that the product sells well. The
ClickBank Making Money method recommends only promoting products with a gravity score of
500 or higher. Avg %/Sale ranks vendors based on the commission percentage they offer for each
sale. The ClickBank Making Money method recommends promoting products that award
commissions of 60% or higher. Avg Rebill Total and Avg $/Sale is the amount of recurring income
an affiliate should expect from a single sale. Many products are subscription products that bill
customers at regular intervals. The higher the dollar amount under this field, the more residual
income you will make from your efforts, on average. The ClickBank Making Money method
recommends choosing subscription products to promote with as high of an Avg Rebill Total as
possible while still satisfying the ClickBank Making Money Gravity and Avg %/Sale
recommendations above. Use the Sort-By query box to filter out high-converting products with
residual earnings potential.
Once you've selected a product, click the Promote button to the right of the product listing. You will
be asked to input your ClickBank nickname along with an optional Tracking ID. Click Create. This
will generate a unique HopLink that will be tied to your nickname and the particular product you
have chosen. You should copy and paste the two versions of your HopLink into a text file on your
computer as ClickBank will not store this information for you. You will need these HopLinks to
promote your product and get paid for your efforts.
ClickBank Making Money - Getting Started Guide (Step 3): Start Promoting Your HopLink
OK, you've signed up for your free ClickBank account and have created your first HopLink. You

3. will now need a method of presenting your product to a targeted audience. The ClickBank Making
Money method recommends using article marketing to accomplish this. The easiest and most
affordable way to promote a product is to write a review of the product or informational article on
the product. You can also write articles reviewing your product's competing products and
demonstrate within your article how your product is superior. There are many free ways to
promote ClickBank products but presenting them here is beyond the scope of this ClickBank
Making Money - Getting Started Guide. There are also many things you need to consider such as,
which article directories to submit your articles to, what are their editorial rules, free landing page
options, website landing pages, etc. Below, I will show you how to explore the options that are
available to you to help you effectively promote your ClickBank products for free.
