THE COMPLETE CLICKBANK GUIDE - PART 14

In this final installment to our guide to Clickbank, I'm going to leave you with a few tips that I have learned over the years, including some bits and pieces of information that I think you need to know.

First of all, to include a complete and thorough guide on all of Clickbank would take a 100 page book at least. Hopefully, the information contained in this series will at least get you started.

Okay, first thing you need to know about Clickbank hoplinks is that if you are going to do email advertising, you CAN'T use them in your email ads. You have to cloak them with something like Tiny URL. Clickbank no longer allows their hoplinks to be used in emails.

If you plan on buying a Clickbank product using your own nickname, Clickbank will not credit you with the sale until you have had at least 5 sales credited to your account from outside sources. Lots of people try to get products for half off by doing this, except it only works if they are an active Clickbank affiliate with at least 5 sales. So get your sales first before you try this.

If you are a vendor with a new product, you won't get listed in the marketplace until you've had at least one sale. So, if you want to get into the marketplace right away, simply make a purchase of your product yourself. Don't worry! Clickbank will let you do this and even encourages it. Why? Well, it's more money for them.

If you are an affiliate of Clickbank but not a vendor, meaning you don't have your own product, you will not get an email notification upon making a sale. Only vendors get email notifications. So if you want to know if you've made any sales, you have to check your account. I suggest doing this at least once per day.

If you are a Clickbank vendor, upon getting a sale notification, send the customer a thank you and try to get them to opt into your list in the process. The thank you shows you appreciate their business. And by offering them a bonus to opt into your list, you have a better chance of them doing so.

If you want to add products to your products list, you simply take your current vendor hoplink and change the product number at the beginning of it. So if you have 5 different products to sell, the 5 th product will have a 5 at the beginning of the hoplink.

If you want to get a second product listed in the marketplace, you will need to open up another vendor account. Only 1 product gets listed for each vendor. The additional account will cost you $29, instead of the $50 for your original account.

If you are a vendor, I suggest using CGI scripts to make it difficult for people to guess your download page. People are always trying to do this and many good hackers actually get away with it. Protect your download pages by doing everything you can do.

If you are an affiliate, frequently check the stats of the products you are selling. If you see that they start to move in an unfavorable direction, you might want to consider selling something else instead. The marketplace changes daily, so check your products at least once per week.
