Once you have signed up
at Clickbank for an affiliate account (it's free, just go to the:
Clickbank Sign Up Instructions), then you are ready to
start promoting and marketing the ebook.
Marketing the Online
Instant Profits ebook is simple. All you do is put special links
on your webpages or in your newsletters to send traffic to the
Online Instant Profit.Com website. These links are called "Clickbank
Hoplinks" and they are important because this is how Clickbank
keeps track of the traffic you send to Online Instant Profits.com
and gives you credit for the e-book sales you generate.
So the very first
step after you have signed up for your Clickbank account is to
understand how to make a hoplink. Keep in mind, if you make your
link incorrectly, that is kind of like putting an ad in the yellow
pages and using the wrong phone number! (YOU are responsible to
make sure your hoplinks are coded correctly)
Here is how to
correctly make your hoplink:
The current standard
Clickbank hoplink format is:
http://xxxxxxx.vendor.hop.clickbank.net
Puredigi is the
vendor (product) name, so that looks like this:
http://xxxxxxx.puredigi.hop.clickbank.net
So now, all you have
to do is insert YOUR Clickbank affiliate nickname in the place
where the x's are located
For example, if your
affiliate nickname is benstevens (hint: it's NOT - use YOUR
nickname, this is just an example), then the hoplink would
look like this:
http://benstevens.puredigi.hop.clickbank.net
That's all there is
to it. When someone clicks through YOUR hoplink, they are
redirected to www.onlineinstantprofits.com and a "cookie"
(a small tracking file) is dropped onto the computer of the
visitor. This "marks" that visitor as coming from your referral.
Clickbank uses 60
day cookies, so that means if the people you send to Online
Instant Profits.com purchase that day or if they return any time
within the next 60 days, you will get the commission for the sale
(currently 75% commission rate of net sale, or $33.90 U.S.).
I have one last
suggestion. If you are using hoplinks on a web page, it is best
you use a "DISPLAY URL" of www.onlineinstantprofits.com
rather than exposing the actual Clickbank hoplink. Tests have
shown that when people realize they are "being sold something" on
a commission basis (as opposed to simply getting a
"recommendation" from an independent 3rd party), the conversion
rates may drop, therefore it's best to "hide" your affiliate
hoplink in your HTML code and use www.onlineinstantprofits.com
as the display link.
