Using Clickbank to make money

Clickbank has become synonymous with affiliate marketing in the past couple of years. This website offers a valuable service to both those with products who want to sell and those who want to sell but have no product.

Let’s look at selling your product through Clickbank first. If you have any type of informational product, you can set up an affiliate program through Clickbank and have hundreds of vendors selling it for you in no time flat. The setup fee for putting a product on Clickbank is $50, but once you have your account set up, you can add as many products as you wish. They charge you a percentage for each product sold through their affiliates.

The advantage to using Clickbank as your affiliate program organizer is that you don’t have to apply for an expensive merchant account, the website handles all payments. They also organize your affiliates so you can make sure that you pay your vendors on time, and can see at a glance how many people are selling your products.

Also, Clickbank has a pool of about 100,000 affiliates, so you do not have to struggle to attract two or three vendors to your site; they are already there, browsing for new opportunities. It can save the average webmaster a lot of time, as opposed to setting up your own affiliate program by writing your own code and then trying to find people to sell the products.

Now, if you are interested in becoming one of those 100,000 affiliates that Clickbank boasts of, you can sign up for free. Everything on Clickbank is an information product, so you can download them immediately once you pay.

The data base on the Clickbank website is massive, with thousands of products to choose from. Each one has vital information such as the price and the percentage that you, the affiliate will receive. Becoming an affiliate for any of these products is extremely easy; you simply need to plug your Clickbank ID into the code given for each product! The ID works with any product in the data base and instantly gives you access to any promotional materials that might be available for the product.

For example, you might decide to promote a cookbook on your website. Adding the code with your ID will allow visitors to click on the link to buy the cookbook, giving you a percentage. However, there are millions of cookbooks out there, so why would they buy this one and from you? This is where promo material comes in. The cookbook site might give affiliates sample recipes to post on the website, plus a fancy cover to display, as well as other information. All of this can be used by you to help create interest in the book.

Clickbank is a good option for both affiliates and affiliate marketers. It is certainly worth checking out if you have a product that you want to sell, as it is far more economical than many other options out there. And for affiliates, it offers a wide variety of products to choose from and instant access with just one ID.
