ClickBank Pay Admin For Blogs

Clickbank Blog Training

Blog Tutorial

We will help you to get signed up with ClickBank who represents 20,000 companies. We will also show you how to get pay tracking links to put into your blog articles.

Clickbank is the only of all of these affiliate administrative accounts that only sends checks to limited countries. If your country is not listed you will still have thousands of companies to choose from with the other three affiliate admin accounts.

Which Companies You Will Be Working For
ClickBank will act like the "middle man" between affiliates (YOU) and the thousands of companies they represent. They have set up their company to use special conversion tracking of all the data you submit. This special tracking will convert to your commissions the sales you make for any of the 20,000 companies. Your commissions will be displayed in your pay account. ClickBank will track every penny you make and will send you a check twice a month for any earnings you have accumulated.

How You Will Be Paid
The pay is pre-set by each individual ClickBank company beforehand. For most companies, pay is based on commissions that usually range from 50% to 75% of the sale amount. (We will show you how to select only companies in this pay range).

You will be assigned a special affiliate promotion link called a "Hoplink." Every company in ClickBank's database will provide you with a unique Hoplink to place into your blogs. You can log in at anytime to your ClickBank account to see how much money you have made in real time tracking. Pay is like clockwork twice a month on or around the 1st and 15th of every month.

How It Works
Every time someone clicks on your special Affiliate URL (Hoplink) and makes a purchase, you get paid the pre-set commission for each of the companies you select.

You can select any of the 20,000 ClickBank companies you choose. After you read a company's offer, you may select that company by clicking on the special button "CREATE HOPLINK."

You are then automatically approved and are assigned the special link you will need to place into your blog articles as we show you exactly how to do in Creating Blog Articles Part 1.

You NEVER have to wait for approval from any of the 20,000 companies. Once you are approved by ClickBank, you are approved by any and all of the companies they represent. We will show you how to select the best companies in ClickBank's data base.

Your ClickBank Main Account Page:

Your ClickBank Account Features
After you have clicked on "Login" you will be brought to your ClickBank account home page shown above.

A. Account Home (Dashboard)	This is the page you will be on when you first log into your ClickBank account.
B. Account Settings	In the account settings you can change your personal information, set your payout request amount, and add your Social Security Number OR EIN for tax purposes (U.S. only will use EINs).
C. Reporting	The reporting will give you details of how much money you have made on particular pay periods. You can locate which data submission produced the earnings by selecting "Reporting," then "Transactions." This will display each of your earnings by the vendor (company) name; it will also tell you who made the purchase and where they are located.
D. Weekly Sales Snapshot	This will display current and most recent pay totals for particular pay periods. This is where you can look to see how much you next check will be for the next pay period. * Don't get confused by the word "Sales" that is a general term used in ClickBank for earnings. You will not be selling anything with with our program.
E. Daily Sales Snapshot	You can login at and you will see your earnings for each day. The earnings are calculated in real time, which means that when one of your pay code links (hoplinks) creates a earning through data submissions, it is reported to this screen. * Don't get confused by the word "Sales" that is a general term used in ClickBank for earnings.

Special Account feature
MARKETPLACE: If you look at the top right of your screen, you will see the "Marketplace" this is where you will select the company or companies you want to create an article or create a link on your blog for.

IMPORTANT: What we have shown you are the basic features you will need to use in your Clickbank administrative account. Don't get confused with the other options that are used by "vendors" (companies that list there sites on Clickbank). You do not need to create products, set up anything else with the exception of adding your EIN and setting your payout threshold in your account settings.

So if you do end up somewhere and ClickBank is asking for money, then you are in the wrong place because ClickBank will never charge you to use their services.

ClickBank will give you a rating green (Good) to (Poor) red. You will not need to worry about this rating as it is for the vendors who list their companies on ClickBank.

How to Select the Companies in ClickBank

We are going to show you how to locate and select the companies to work for in your Clickbank account. We will show you how your pay will be determined based upon each company's offer to you.

This is how you will locate any of the 20,000 companies listed at Clickbank:

You will have two options:

A. Search the Clickbank Marketplace: Here you can search for a particular company, or a type of product or service offered.

B. List of Categories: You also have the option to search for companies by categories, and sub-categories such as "Arts & Entertainment," "Business/Investing," etc. For example, if you wanted to find the company for diets you would look for them under "Health & Fitness."

For our tutorial click on "Computers / Internet" on the list of categories.

You will be greeted by this page:

You will not need to know exactly the definitions we provide for the following, and you will not use many of the features listed below. We are going to tell you what they mean anyways.

A. The Vendor/Company's Link to Website: In the red text is a direct link to the company's website so you can view their product or service they are selling. You can gather any notes about the company such as selling points, offers, discounts etc. to add to your blogs.

In the text below you will see the company will list some information about the product and their pitch to you to convince you to get a link for their company.

B. Initial $/Sale: This is the amount you will earn for each initial sale for this company. Some companies will have products that will have re-bills which would then earn a recurring sale amount after the initial sale. If the company does offer a re-bill they will list it in this column for you to view.

C. Avg. %/Sale: Average percent amount earned per ClickBank affiliate (this is you) per referred sale. Note that this is the net amount earned per actual sale; it is impacted by refunds, charge backs, and sales taxes.

D. Gravity: The number of distinct affiliates who earned a commission by referring a paying customer to the company's products. This is a weighted sum and not an actual total. For each affiliate paid in the last 8 weeks, an amount between 0.1 and 1.0 is added to the total. The more recent the last referral, the higher the value added.

* E. Vendor Details: Here there may be listed some special features of the vendor. Some of the details may be special promotion tools the vendor may offer such as articles, banners and other promotional tools. There are some other details that will be listed about vendor in this section as well and you are welcome to view them if you choose.

** F. Avg $/Sale: This is the final amount you will be paid for each sale from the companies product with all the factors considered. This is the amount you will look at to determine how much you will be paid by this company for your promotions for each sale.

* Really the only place you will need to look is the "Avg. $/Sale" to determine your pay for each company. The other details can be more confusing than it is worth to understand.

**Also it is good to look through the 'Vendor Details" to see if there is any promotional material provided by the vendor that you can use in your promotions such as banners or articles.

G. Promote: If you were to decide to work for any of the ClickBank companies this is where you will get your affiliate promotion link also known by ClickBank as Hoplink that you will use to post in your blogs.

Getting the Promotion Links for Each ClickBank Company
Once you have located the companies you would like to promote in ClickBank, you will need to obtain their special promotion link also known by ClickBank term "Hoplink" in order to get credit for the link you create.

As with your PayDotcom account, you will need to be logged into your ClickBank account to obtain the affiliate promotion links for any of the companies in ClickBank.

After you are logged into your account, click on "MARKETPLACE" button.

For our training purpose click on the "Computers / Internet" link in the marketplace

You will then be at the following page:

Note: ClickBank uses the term "HOPLINK" which is the same as "Affiliate Pay Code Link," so you know they are both referring to the same thing.

Whenever you want to get your affiliate promotion link/hoplink for any ClickBank companies you want to promote, click on the "PROMOTE" button.

When you click on "PROMOTE" a separate box will pop up

(make sure your pop up blocker is off) that will look like this:

You will see a confirmation of what % this company is going to pay you for all your commissions on the top of the page.

A. ClickBank Nickname: In this box enter your ClickBank nickname (the one you chose when you signe up with ClickBank).

B. Tracking ID: This is only for Web site owners, YOU WILL NOT USE THIS FEATURE.

C. After you have entered your ClickBank nickname, click "CREATE"

The following box will then pop up:

You will see a confirmation of what % this company is going to pay you for all your commissions on the top of the page.

A. Hoplink: This is the actual Hoplink you will copy and use on your blogs. Copy the complete hoplink that starts with the "http:// to the ".net/" and everything in between.

B. HTML CODE: This is only for Web site owners, YOU WILL NOT USE THIS FEATURE.

Your hopink will now be displayed as we show in the box above.

As in the example above, the complete hoplink for this company is:

http://9d890h4qy3m-a0c9t0qlozrbvg.hop.clickbank.net/

NOTE: Each hoplink will be different for each affiliate (you) and each company. So your hoplink will not be exactly as shown above, but the format will be the same.

The hoplink is the link you will need to use on your blogs. So you will need to do this each time you choose a company to place on your blogs.

We will show you where to post these hoplinks on your blogs in the Creating Weblog Part 1 tutorial page so you can start earning money.

Using Marketplace Filters to Find the Best Companies

Video Note: The ClickBank Marketplace page in video may look a little different than your Marketplace
page.All of the features will work the same in your page as in the video. So don't worry if your
ClickBank page looks different than what is shown in the video.

We will show you a formula we use to select good ClickBank companies. This is not written is stone, but can get you a better idea on how to select good ClickBank companies.

We are going to show you how to select good ClickBank companies by using two important factors:

FACTOR 1: When looking at the performance stats of $/Sale, % /Sale, % Referred and Gravity. We want you to ONLY focus on % Sale, and Gravity.

Why these two? The answer is this:
The % Sale will be the percentage that this company is willing to pay you in commission of each sale. You ONLY want companies at or above 50% for each sale you produce. So make sure when selecting a company, you look at this to make sure you are going to make at least 50%.

The Gravity is another important performance stat to look for when choosing a company. This number represents the number of affiliates that are promoting this company's product.

With this you can tell if the company is overly saturated with promotion thus creating TOO MUCH competition; or if it is TOO LOW and may not be a well-established company.

When selecting the Gravity make sure this number is between 10 and 275. (check this part of the training often as these number we suggest can change as the ClickBank market expands)

You can search through ClickBank Marketplace until you find companies 50% or above in % Sale and between 10 and 275 in Gravity. This will still cover about 80% or more of the available ClickBank companies.

FACTOR 2: After you find companies that meet Factor 1's criteria, you now must inspect the Web site to see how well the Web site is layed out. Click on the red text of the company information to enter the site. Look at how good the website looks, here are some things to look at:

1.) Is it professional looking?
2.) What is its impression on you?
3.) Would you purchase this product if this was what you were looking to buy?
4.) Does the website get its selling point across?
5.) The site is NOT full of irrelevant information

Some other good selling points on the pitch but are not required are:

Time Sensitive - The web site is only offering a discount or reduced price for a limited amount of time.

Testimonials - The web site has actual people that have tried the product and have been satisfied.

If you find good companies using Factor 1 and Factor 2 you will have the first big piece of the puzzle. You do not have to follow these two factors if you choose. We just are trying to eliminate you getting a bad company, or over saturated with workers company.

So when you want to make money for any companies in ClickBank on your blog, do these following steps:

1.) Log into your ClickBank admin members account.
2.) Choose the company you want to work with in the "Marketplace."
3.) Get your affiliate promotion hoplink.
4.) Add to your blog by way of an article or simple link as we will show you in the Creating Weblog tutorial.
