Operation and business system

Before delving into the full operation of this platform, I want you to be clear about one thing: ClickBank is not a business system itself, but simply a platform for merchants and affiliates.

Why am I saying this? Very simple: many people believe that entering a site as popular as this one will start earning money from the first moment, which is far from the case. You need your own work system to take advantage of all the qualities of this platform.

ClickBank: registration and first steps

ClickBank registration is an easy process and of course completely free (as well as its subsequent use). You can do it through the following link.

You simply have to complete a form with the usual data that any affiliate platform usually requests (name, address, country, method of receiving payments, etc.).

How to earn money with ClickBank?

There are two ways to earn money on ClickBank. You can use either one (or both), they are completely compatible.

Being an affiliate: your mission is to promote digital products and services in exchange for a commission, which can reach up to 75% for each sale.Selling products: if you have ever thought about selling your own digital product (an ebook, an electronic guide, a course on a specific subject, etc.), ClickBank is the ideal place to do it. You just have to put your product up for sale on the platform and offer affiliates a commission so they can take care of selling it.

ClickBank affiliates: what is it and how does it work?

Promoting products as an affiliate is one of the easiest and most lucrative ways to earn money online, since your only mission is to promote a product that has already been created and where the seller will provide you with all the tools to do so.

In the case of ClickBank, to discover all the available products you must go to the "Marketplace" tab that you will find at the top of the web.

From there you can find any service or digital product through the 21 available categories (left menu) or the search function (search for products).

Another example of how to sell products as an affiliate

In this example I am going to tell you about the experience of my friend Victor, a real crack when it comes to getting the most out of both this and other digital marketing platforms.

Within the large number of web pages that it manages, it has one that is especially well positioned in the niche of health and healthy living. After a year of hard work and posting great quality content, it has built a large community of readers and quite a lot of organic traffic.

After that, he went to ClickBank and searched for products related to the theme of his site. The one that he liked the most was a method to lose weight in a few weeks naturally, a product with good references and quite powerful statistics (high severity and popularity and recurring billing).

From there, he decided to create an article about the product, its benefits, and why it was worth buying.

Product quality and return terms

Because ClickBank doesn't have a screening process for the services people decide to sell, there's a pretty hefty amount of shoddy products out there, something you can quickly check by taking a look at all the categories you've been able to see before.

Because of this, you may be tempted to sell some products for the simple fact of their high profitability, but it is better not to do so if you have doubts about their usefulness.

In any case, one of the strengths of this platform is its guarantee policy, which grants a 30-day period to make a return in the case of not being satisfied with the purchase made.

ClickBank makes it incredibly easy to sell your own products. If, for example, you plan to create an electronic book, you can use this platform to increase your audience and sell it more easily. All you have to do is register as a seller, upload the product to the web and create your sales page.

The cost of this service is a one-time fee of $49 and then 7% for each sale you make. You can set the price you want and then assign the percentage of benefits that your affiliates will receive. Once your product is on the market, the links will be automatically created for you.

If you meet this requirement, your sales can skyrocket. You only have to imagine the fact of having dozens of affiliates promoting and recommending your product on their blogs or web pages, many of which are visited by thousands of people every day.

However, this method would not be used as an exclusive promotional tool, but rather as a complement to your own campaigns within your blog, social networks or YouTube channel.
