When it comes to Internet marketers who promote other peoples products by being an affiliate, there is only one affiliate product marketplace which virtually all affiliate marketers are familiar with, and that is ClickBank.

For years now, ClickBank has helped thousands of affiliates make A LOT of money by promoting and selling the products which are listed within the ClickBank marketplace.

Since ClickBank is so popular and so wide-spread (many product owners use it to help sell their products), it is important to learn how to use it as an affiliate marketer to make more affiliate sales.

Here are some quick steps to get you started using ClickBank;

  1. First you have to sign up to become an affiliate so that you can promote the products listed in their marketplace and make affiliate commissions. Signing up is free, so you don’t have to worry, in fact, if you are just going to use ClickBank as an affiliate, then everything will be free for you!
  2. After signing up you will now have your own unique affiliate code/nickname, this code is important since it will be what differentiates your affiliate link from every other affiliate promoting the products. Upon sign up you choose what this code will be.
  3. You can browse all of the available products to promote by visiting their “Marketplace”. You can search all of the different products by categories, how well it’s selling for other affiliates, the commission percentage, as well as a bunch of other search criteria.
  4. Once you find a suitable product to promote in your niche market, then click on the “create HopLink” link under that product. This will open a new window where you can input your ClickBank nickname/affiliate code to create your own unique affiliate link (ClickBank calls your affiliate link a “HopLink”).
  5. With this affiliate link you can now promote it and send traffic to it to get more and more people seeing that product. If someone should purchase that product after coming to the page using your affiliate link, you will earn a commission!

Those are 5 steps that you can take right now to be well on your way to earning more affiliate commissions!

The above steps are a quick outline so I will expand a bit more later on with more blog posts, so be sure to check back soon.
