Once you have decided to use Clickbank for your Internet marketing business you will need to open up an account. Though the process is the same, it is a good idea to know beforehand if you are going to be a product seller or an affiliate. If you are going to be an affiliate, you can open up the account at any time and save it for when you have found a product that you want to sell. When you are signing up as a product seller, however, it is best to wait until you have a product for reasons that will be discussed momentarily.
The initial stage is to log on town.Clickbank.com and register to by hitting a registering button on the right corner of the window. Clickbank straight away puts you to the Promote Products” registering page.For ease every registering window forwards you to this page so you should not worry even though you are registering as a vendor.
After this fill out the fields. Clickbank mails checks and needs a Tax ID after registration, so it is essential that the contact information you provide is accurate to avoid your payment being posted to the wrong address.
After completing all necessary information, choose an account nickname. This name will allow you to take advantage of “Hoplinks,” which keep track of affiliates by redirecting through Clickbank. However, these links are so ugly that people may believe they link to attack sites.
As such, you need to make sure you have an account name that matches the product you are selling (because your account name is inside the Hoplink) or at least hints at it so that the link appears more legitimate. As an affiliate, the account ID can be broader, though it would still be helpful if the link matched things you are selling. It simply becomes less important.
You will be sent a password that is equally as ugly as a Hoplink and completely unchangeable. Because of this, it is very important that you write down your nickname and password, as the consequences of losing either of those can be dire. It is very hard to retrieve lost information.Once you have entered all of that data you can click submit and register.
Another reason to write down your nickname is that it is possible to create a website using an affiliate nickname, let the website run on its own for a few years and eventually completely forget what the nickname was. That is the joy of passive income as you can continue to receive checks even without any contact with the Clickbank site, but it also means that you can potentially forget the ID, which can make it difficult if you need to change something in the future.
As soon as you enter the password, your registration will be official. To sell a product of you own, in account settings click “my products” and then click “add new product.” In order to become an affiliate, click “marketplace” and search for affiliate items. Then click “create hoplink,” type in a nickname, and the affiliate link you can use to promote the products will be listed.
