Creating Your First Clickbank Product

You have a digital product (or many digital products) you
wish to sell. You've designed (or paid someone to design)
a beautiful website to display your products. You get a
couple hits here and there but realize you need to do more
to get that product out where it is seen by a lot of
people. The solution is using affiliates. Affiliates are
people who make money by promoting your products. Unlike
other sources of advertising, when you use affiliates you
don't pay them unless there is actually a sale, so you
never spend money on advertising that doesn't result in
income for you.

Where to find the affiliates? ClickBank is a company that
for a small fee, provides affiliates with access to your
website to check out your products who can then direct
potential customers to your site. When there is a sale
ClickBank collects the payment, pays the affiliate and
sends you your share so you don't need to do any extra work.

Registering with ClickBank is a simple procedure where you
fill out a couple forms with your basic contact information
for payment, name, address, phone, email, website address
etc. You never need to worry, as they do not ask for any
sensitive information.

To get started you tell ClickBank about your product and
once they approve it you negotiate your suggested retail
price. All products are listed at less than fifty dollars
unless there has been a special arrangement decided before
the product is listed.

There are guidelines you must follow. You have to maintain
a website, you must have certain pages in that website.
One of the "must have" pages for your website is the Pitch
(or Sales) page where you will let the customer know what
they are getting and why they want it then directing the
customer to the ClickBank Order page to make payment
arrangements. The other is the Thank You page only seen
once the order has been accepted. These two pages have to
be under your own domain name.

ClickBank only allows digitally delivered products and/or
printed materials that are not necessary to the downloaded
material. The materials must be such that you can download
within 24 hours of purchase. You must be willing and able
to provide phone numbers and/or email addresses for
technical support where there is a live person who will
respond within one working day. Your support pages must be
on your website and in English and your products must
comply with all state, federal and FTC regulations as
regards disclosure, consumer protections and all other
topics. Honesty in your advertising is a must, nothing
misleading or ambiguous.

A few of the big "do not's" are: Do not let anyone other
than the customer be allowed to enter orders, credit card
or bank information. Do not use Pop-up commercials or
spamming and no Sale of multi-level memberships,
franchises, pornographic material, spy ware, etc. is
allowed.

ClickBank reserves the right to terminate the membership of
any vendor who violates their rules and regulations at any
time.
