How to Create a Clickbank Thank-You Page

Clickbank is an online retail directory that contains more than 50,000 digital products. Anyone can create a digital product and for a small price, promote it through the Clickbank marketplace. Digital information sellers find Clickbank an extremely effective way to sell products, as Clickbank has an integrated affiliate system. With more than 100,000 affiliates regularly scouring the marketplace for products to promote, a newcomer can make sales without having to actively market his product himself. Two pages are required when making your Clickbank product; the sales page, which is used to describe the benefits of owning your digital creation, and the thank-you page. The thank-you page is where your customers are immediately directed after purchase to download the product.

Instructions

- 1
  
  Open your HTML editor. Create a new page; the name you give it should be something that is easy for you to identify as your thank-you page, but complex enough that digital thieves will not be able to access your page by guessing the name. Therefore, do not call it "thank-you" or "download," but opt for something like "go-dl-e-book." Place a noindex meta tag in the "head" section of the page, as you do not want search engines to spider the page and index it in search results.

  Upload your product to your Web host. To further eliminate digital theft, before uploading the product, change the name slightly. For example, If your product is an ebook called "Fast Weight Loss for Vegetarians," you should change the name enough that thieves cannot guess it, but leave it somewhat intact so customers can recognize the file when they search for it on their hard drive. For our example, "Vegetarian-diet-fast" would be a viable option.

  Copy the link that points to your product. This will look something like "http://yourdomain.com/vegetarian-diet-fast.pdf." Paste the link to your download page. You can do this directly, or make anchor text such as "Download Your Purchase Here" and link it to your product URL.

  Add some text. Thank your customers for purchasing the product, and provide a contact email address so they can reach you if they should experience a problem when downloading the product. Do not assume all your customers are computer savvy; provide clear instructions on how to download the product and save it to their local machine. As per Clickbank terms of service, you must also remind the customer that their credit card or bank statement will show a payment made to Clickbank, or CLKBANK*COM, rather than detailing your product's name. This is important, because if a client is not aware that Clickbank is processing the purchase, she may make a credit card charge-back, and Clickbank will deduct the costs involved with this from your earnings.

  Upload the thank-you page to your Web host. Make a note of the page's URL, which will look something like "http://yourdomain.com/go-dl-e-book.html." You will need to provide it for Clickbank to check when you submit your product. Before submitting to Clickbank, load the URL in your browser and test the download link to make sure it is working correctly.

How to clickbank Start Promoting Your HopLink

OK, you’ve signed up for your free ClickBank account and have created your first HopLink. But where should you actually start promoting your HopLink? Trying to decide where to spend your time and effort can be a bit overwhelming at first, but we’ll give you some ideas to get started. Once you’ve mastered the basics, your imagination is the only limit to the ways you can promote ClickBank products.

If you have your own website, that is one great place to promote hoplinks. However – it is not necessary to have a website to be a ClickBank affiliate! We’ve created a guide called Common Ways to Promote Products that’s a great place to learn about other methods affiliates use to promote ClickBank products effectively.

An important rule of thumb to remember is that if you want to get a good return on your time, money, and efforts, you should promote products to audiences that might be interested in them. For example, if you post your HopLink to a course on Internet Marketing in a forum dedicated to politics or gardening, people won’t click on your HopLink and you may find yourself quickly banned from the forum.

However, if you link to the same Internet Marketing course in a forum or discussion group dedicated to making money online, along with reasons why you think this is a great product and how it can benefit other members, you’re likely to get many more clicks and purchases from your HopLink. Posting a useful and relevant HopLink and description will also make it more likely that members will trust your recommendations in the future.

The same principle goes for other common promotional techniques like article writing or tapping into your social network— the more relevant and useful the product is to your audience, the better your sales will be.
