1. You promote your affiliate link and a software author you refer submits his product to our site.
Your ClickBank id is immediately registered with that book, it cannot be 'lost' as with a cookie system.
2. A vendor agrees to sell it.
3. He opens a vendor account using YOUR ClickBank id.
You therefore start earning from ClickBank's Referral Program (for full details click here)
In summary:
Your commission will be in two parts
Part a) Immediate payment: 20% of the $49.95 activation charge = $9.94
plus
Part b) Throughout the next year: 5% of ClickBank’s markup of every sale.
Part a) $9.94 is fixed
Part b) This depends on the price of the product and the number of sales.
Let's take the average price of a ClickBank product, viz $42
We'll discard extreme sale volumes such as complete flops or products which have millions of buyers. Consider an product which, even with the ClickBank affiliate force behind it, makes only 3 sales a day - so it's a 1000 (approx) sales in a year
Your earnings will be 1000 X $0.207 = $207 (for that one product)
So total for the year: $217
NOTE: products
which provide recurring commission can be very profitable.
where ccccc is your ClickBank-id
Click through to 'Submit your Product' then to the 'Submission Form'
Near the end of the page you will see a Coupon Code - this should show your ClickBank id.
The Transactions Report in your ClickBank account will show earnings as follows
Part a): This will show a $9.94 sale with vendor = RESELLER
Part b): Commissions will appear each week as Transaction Type = 'Bonus'
If you want to know the name of the vendor account and be notified when it is activated use CBWatch
By doing this we will also be able to notify you
when a product has been submitted and accepted at our site.
Your task is simply to find authors of software and get them to our site where the way forward is simple.
So where do you find them ?
They are everywhere.
- Try your Facebook and Twitter colleagues
- Check out forums which focus on software products and make contact with members who show expertise in the topic, or pay to insert an ad.
- A simple offline ad in a magazine or newspaper
==> "Authors: we'll sell your software"
(Full Promotion Guide coming later)
Once the product is in the Marketplace then the more sales it makes the more you earn.
So you could become an affiliate for the product.
But a better idea would be to recruit others to the affiliate program.
Why not discuss this with the vendor - a win-win situation for you both
