1.Where do you find the products to promote?
Affiliate networks, like Clickbank, provide affiliates with thousands of digital products(available to download immediately after the payment).There are other affiliate networks,such as Commission Junction or Linkshare,but in this case we are going to use only Clickbank.You simply go to Clickbank’s marketplace and look for the product that you are willing to promote.How to use their marketplace will be explained later on.
2.How to promote the products?
This is probably the most difficult part of the whole business.There are tons of ways to promote a product,but some of them are effective,some of them are not.Some are free, and some you have to pay for.We will discuss both free and paid methods of advertising,and after it will be up to you how you want to promote the products.
3.How Do You Get Paid?
Pay periods end at 12:00:01 am Pacific time on the 1st and 16th of each month. For security reasons payment is made by check only.Checks are mailed within 15 days after the end of the pay period.US checks over $5,000 are sent at Clickbank’s expense by US Priority Mail wherever possible.US checks over $10,000 are sent overnight via FedEx wherever possible.
Pay period is simply 7 days period which calculates how much you have earned during that period.Clickbank pays your commissions regularly,and usually there are no delays.After you received the check, you just take it to your bank and ask to put the money on your account.It takes about 1-2 weeks for the check to clear,depending on your bank.
