How to Open a Clickbank Account
After choosing Clickbank for your business, you need to register. Although the registration procedure for both is the same, you should ideally know before registering whether you are going to operate as an affiliate or as a seller. As an affiliate you can set up an account whenever you like and leave it open for when you have a product to sell. If you are going to be a seller it makes more sense to leave registration until you are ready to start selling, for reasons discussed later.
The initial stage is to log on town.Clickbank.com and register to by hitting a registering button on the right corner of the window. Clickbank straight away puts you to the Promote Products” registering page.For ease every registering window forwards you to this page so you should not worry even though you are registering as a vendor.
The next step is to enter your information into the boxes. Clickbank sends checks and does require a Tax ID (though not until after you have registered) so it is absolutely vital that you enter only correct information, as you do not want your check to be mailed somewhere else.
After you have finished everything, you can choose an account name. This is where being a seller or an affiliate really matters. Hoplinks redirect through a Clickbank when you sell a product so that it can keep track of affiliates. These links aren’t pretty. In fact someone looking at it may think that the link will redirect them to an attack site.
You need to make sure you have an account name that matches the product you are selling. At least hints at it so that the link appears more legitimate. As an affiliate, the account ID can be broader, though it would still be helpful if the link matched things you are selling. It simply becomes less important.
You will be sent a password that is equally as ugly as a Hoplink and completely unchangeable. Because of this, it is very important that you write down your nickname and password, as the consequences of losing either of those can be dire. It is very hard to retrieve lost information.Once you have entered all of that data you can click submit and register.
One of the reasons for writing down your nickname is that it is possible to create a website using an affiliate nickname. You have the make the website run on its own for a few years and eventually completely forget what the nickname was. That is the joy of passive income as you can continue to receive checks even without any contact with the Clickbank site, but it also means that you can potentially forget the ID, which can make it difficult if you need to change something in the future.
As soon as you enter the password, your registration will be official. To sell a product of you own, in account settings click “my products” and then click “add new product.” In order to become an affiliate, click “marketplace” and search for affiliate items. Then click “create hoplink,” type in a nickname, and the affiliate link you can use to promote the products will be listed.
