Basics to Understanding Clickbank


So you have your Clickbank Account. Not a big accomplishment, but necessary. Part 4 Introduction is designed to give you a tutorial on how to browse and effectively use Clickbank. You will see more of Clickbank as you go thru Courses.

The way to get access to products to sell is by going to Marketplace. From this link you can get your Affilate Link that gives you a special website link to promote a specific product. In the Marketplace you can also view each of the products Pitch Page.

The Pitch Page is the Sales Letter page of the product you are selling or buying. You definitely want to view this page if you are drawn to promoting a product. Go to the Marketplace if you are not already there.

You have alot of options in how you can search for products. You can search for Category which is self explanatory. The top 3 searched for categories on the Internet, and the world in general are:

1. Money and Employment

2. Health and Nutrition

3. Dating/ Entertainment

Those 3 categories should come as no surprise to you. It makes alot of sense. I cannot pick which category or product you will sell. This tutorial is a quick start guide to using Clickbank. Before you pick your product you will need to go thru some steps.

After the Intro Series we will begin to get into the meat of the course and take you what you do before product selection. To get the most use out of this quick tutorial follow video instructions and do some additional searching on Clickbank.

Similar to your workplace at your job, you want to become as familiar with the Resources that you will utilize on your time Online. So I will select a category. Money and Employment.

Notice there are many categories to choose from. I'll explain each one as a definition that you can understand. A few of these are self explanatory but I will still explain just in case.

Category - This is to bring you through the main groups inside Clickbank. I mentioned above the three main categories which are all listed in the categories. This section will divide the products into the biggest groups.

Keyword - This is similar to a search engine searching with the phrases that match up to a particular product or product group. If you were looking for an Ebay product on Clickbank, you can put in this keyword to help your search.




Product Type- This section has either standard billing which for Clickbank means billing you just once. The recurring billing describes the products that bill you each month as a membership charge. Most of these also pay affiliates a recurring amount for a certain amount of time.

Sub Category - The Sub Category is the groups inside of the category that you chose. Lets say for example that you chose Health and Fitness. You will have a choice of chosing related groups inside of sub category. Fitness, Nutrition, Beauty are some of the different ways of choosing a different Niche inside of a category.

This tool allows you to search inside of Clickbank's directory of products in a more detailed Niche finding way. Finding a gold mine product in a certain keyword can help you.

Sort By - This category has many sub listing inside.

Popularity - This describes the most popular product in its group. The one that has been selling the most and getting the most hits for its page. Usually the highest selling product will be near the top of this list. Searching by popular will give you the products that are all over the Internet, being promoted heavily, and alot of the time over saturated.




High Gravity - This defines the intensity of the products selling in a time frame. A product over 100 gravity is definitely steady selling at a steady pace. Where a product at 500 gravity is selling at a more rapid pace. The gravity of 3.5 means not a lot of orders are rolling in, consistently. The faster a product build up orders the higher the gravity is. High Gravity = High Sales

Low Gravity - This is the opposite of the High Gravity. The products that are low in sells and some non existent. Low Gravity = Low Sales Low Gravity does define products that are not in high demand but do not label low gravity as products you should not sale. Some of these products in their initial launch were high gravity products.

$ Earned Per Sale - This section is the dollar amount earned per sale of each product. The results will bring up the highest amount earned per sale. This will bring up usually the most expensive products and highest percentage paid products. If earning a large amount per sale is a big focus, than this sort by category will bring up highest amount you earn for the category you search.

% Earned Per Sale - Clickbank offers percentage commissions in the range of 50 - 75% profit of each sale you make of the product. The percentage earned per sale will bring up the highest percentage products first and list them highest to smallest. So all the 75% earning products will be listed first, down to lowest.

Future $ - Future $ is similar to the the category earlier with recurring billing. This will show you all of the products that will pay you future commission on their product. They will usually have a limited amount of months that they will pay you.

Total $ Per Sale - This one is a little confusing if you didnt have this guide. This category defines the products that have the highest over all value in the amount of money you can make off the product. This also ties in to the future pay products. The future products will be listed here because this category calulates the amount of time that a future product pays out, plus the inital sale.

The amount of time that the Product owner will pay you commission for the customer retaining their membership. This can be a few months it can be over a year. The products that come up will be the ones that overall will give you the most potential money for all accumulated profits.

A simpler way is if a customer that bought a product and paid the membership fee for life to the product owner, you have a window of time you are paid commission. The product owner will not pay you for ever. By searching this you will see what product owner will go the furthest in compensating you in the highest overall dollar amount with recurring payments calculated into equasion.

% Referred - This category will show the products first that are being promoted only by affiliate marketers. 100% would mean that the product owner has not done any promoting and it has been sold only by other people. If it was 70%, that would mean the product owner promoted and sold 30% of the product sales and other people promoted the 70%. If you search with this you will find the products that are promoted exclusively by other people, down to heavily promoted by Vendor (Product creator) .

Language - This is self explanatory you pick the language to separate the products in the Language format they are written in.
