Getting ClickBank Affiliates

A recent reader found my blog by searching Google for "getting ClickBank affiliates", so I'd like to address that here today. I like to follow the readers' lead when possible, and write about what people hope to find here.

ClickBank has somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000+ registered affiliates waiting to promote their products, so that is definitely the #1 place to go to find affiliates to sell for you. It seems counter-productive to try competing with the mighty ClickBank website itself, so I would suggest to just let it do the work for you. Afterall, that's what it was designed for.

So I think the key is to make sure your ClickBank Marketplace listing is order, being well written and correctly describing your product. If that is already the case, and your product is, in fact, something fairly well in demand, the affiliate recruiting should pretty much take care of itself.

And it shouldn't take long to get started either, since many ClickBank affiliates often choose to promote the very newest products available. The idea is to get a head start against their competition. If a product is fairly popular, there is usually lots of competition among the affiliates before long.

Outside of this, most sites include an affiliate link to offer the opportunity to promote the product using ClickBank. If your site already gets a substantial amount of traffic, this is probably something you want to include to attract the most affiliates you can.

If you've already done all this and still aren't seeing many affiliates getting involved...you may want to try raising your commission percentage offered. ClickBank now allows you to offer as high as 75% commissions. That might sound like a lot to give back, but remember that each sale from an affiliate's efforts is a sale you wouldn't have had otherwise - and you got it with no effort on your part.

I'm not really an expert on this subject, since I've only been on the affiliate side of the fence since I've been involved with ClickBank. But their website gives you all the details you need to get started as a seller. That's what's great about ClickBank - they make the whole process easy.

If you haven't already registered as a seller with ClickBank, you can find step by step instructions on how to do so, including frequently asked questions and answers right here: www.ClickBank.com/Sell_Products

Hope this helps when you're ready to unleash the next big ClickBank best-seller onto the internet!
