You simply place an HTML code that I provide you below on your website, or in the signature line of your emails. Using that code, Clickbank will track and reward you for any future sales of my ebook made to anyone you refer to my website.
I am extremely flexible about the manner in which you promote my ebook. The only thing you can’t do is sell my ebook yourself…whether in an auction, store or on your website.
There is no reason for you not to try this. You can refer people to me and I’ll do the rest! You are never charged anything for participating!
This program does work!
Step 1:
Get a cup of coffee, or something to drink. Relax – this is painless and FREE! :0)
Important note: Educate yourself for a couple of minutes about Clickbank's site. We are going to take advantage of a free service they offer.
ClickBank is the company that will automatically pay both of us when my ebook gets sold. You will be considered one of my ‘affiliates’ by ClickBank. Read about how the affiliate program works. I put this step in here so you can be comfortable about this process.
Clickbank's Site - is where you can read about be coming a CLICKBANK AFFILIATE.
Once you are comfortable with ClickBank go ahead and register (it’s free) as an affiliate by clicking here: Go Now To ClickBank.
Write down your Clickbank ID (or nickname) – you’ll need it again in a couple minutes. (Note: You need to note your nickname or ID, not your password.)
Step 2:
Now put your Clickbank ID where the XXXXX are in the code below.
Here is our magic URL (or link):
Important note: Substitute the XXXXX in the below code with your Clickbank affiliate ID (or nickname) from step ‘B’ before pasting the link on any page.
The question mark must remain in the link – don’t delete it.
You need the following code in your email or web page:

How does this work? I’ll explain the details below:
To summarize, you get paid for putting a simple link (that I provide you for free) on your website.Specifically, if a customer of yours clicks this link and then goes on to buy anything from my website, then you will get paid by Clickbank.
Step by step it looks like this:
1. A viewer from your email or websites chooses to visit my sales page by clicking the link on you have given them.
2. That same viewer sees and clicks the link to my sales page from my website. Once they click on your link to my website, they are automatically assigned to you as a lead by Clickbank.
3. If they go on to buy right then, you get 25%. Also, if at some point in the next 3 months that customer returns to my website and chooses to buy my ebook you will automatically get 25% from the sale because of the tracking or cookie technology that is used to ensure proper credit by Clickbank.
4. How is the book delivered to customers?
Customers are granted access to the download site as soon as they buy. You don’t have to do anything – just refer them to my site. The sales process is totally automated.
5. How do I get paid?
Clickbank is a very reliable online payment service. I have processed thousands of dollars of orders with them as well as thousands of dollars of affiliate payments with them. I have set up Clickbank to automatically give all of my affiliates 25% from every sale that is made.
Clickbank charges a fee to me (see clickbank.com for fee schedule) so you will get 25% after the fees are taken from the sale.
6. How often am I paid?
Twice per month you’ll get a check from ClickBank.com. They will let the amount accumulate to over $25 (or more if you choose) before sending your check. To adjust your minimum check amount log in to your Clickbank account. Since they charge a small fee to cut a check it might be wise to raise the minimum dollar amount of your checks.
7. What if I want to stop promoting your book at some point in the future?
You are promoting my ebook on my sales page and you aren’t selling anything. If you do wish to drop out of the program though, simply delete the link from your website or your email signature. There is no obligation on your part to continue to get paid for referrals.
8. What about returns?
If someone wants his or her money back both you and I will have the sale deleted from our account. ClickBank.com handles this automatically. If you've already been paid commission on an ebook that is ‘returned’, the return will be withheld from your next check.
You can direct any questions to me, or answer them yourself if you know the answer. You can tell people; “I know the author – I was impressed with her ebook and I think you will be too – send them an email if you have questions…contact Cheryl directly.”
9. How do I know that the customers I refer to your website will be tracked?
How do I know I'll be paid?
Visit ClickBank.com and read about their affiliate programs. They have a very reliable system in place. There is even a screen you can access that shows you all the sales that you have been given credit for to date.
Even if someone buys my ebook 90 days after you refer him or her, you will get credit! The affiliate system is very accurate and is used reliably by thousands of people.
10. Can't I just sell the ebook myself on my website?
No. You do not have resell rights to this ebook. You can only sell it via your affiliate link as detailed in the first part of this guide but, otherwise, YOU CANNOT SELL my eBOOK. You can only refer others to buy it from me, and for that you keep 25% of the sale.
Keep in mind that we are selling a product that teaches others how to sell on Facebook using their Etsy Shop!
Appendix A:
How can I test my affiliate link to make sure it is working?
I can’t test your link for you - the cookie in my system gives credit to someone else and over-rides your affiliate ID.
Here’s how you can do it:
You can tell if the affiliate link is working correctly by having a friend click on your ClickBank hoplink, or by clicking your link using a different computer (with a different IP address than the one you used to order my book).
Why can’t I use my own Clickbank hoplink to test the system on your own PC?
Answer: Clickbank uses cookie technology that protects us (you and me) from people trying to use their own affiliate ID when placing an order. To make a long story short – if you place another order for my ebook using your computer USING YOUR OWN HOPLINK the person that sent you to my website the first time will still get credit for the sale – not you. The cookie is set the first time, and can’t be changed for 90 days. This protects both of us from people trying to change the link just before they order.
The only way around this is to clear the cookies from your machine before you test the link.
