When a visitor clicks your affiliate link, a tracking cookie is placed on their computer, which lets clickbank know that you are responsible for sending that visitor to my site. When they buy my product from me, clickbank automatically credit you with the sale, and award you the commission.
Clickbank is one of the biggest, most reliable, longest established, and trusted affiliate management programs in the world, so you can be confident that everything is tracked smoothly and accurately.
As you make sales, clickbank will send you your money on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, two weeks in arrears. If you are new to clickbank, initially you will be paid via paper check, every two weeks.
After you have received 3 papaer checks, you can change over to direct deposit, and will be paid directly in to your own bank account every week, which makes it much quicker to receive your payments.
On top of the 75% commission payments that clickbank will send you, I will also send you extra commission bonuses when you reach 100 sales or more. I pay out all bonuses on the same schedule as clickbank (i.e. once per week, two weeks in arrears), but I use paypal. Once youa re qualified for the bonuses, I will send you your extra commissions directly in to your paypal account.
In order to earn as much as possible, you should use as many of the tools and follow as much of the advice in this affiliate area as you can.
The quickest way to start earning money is with PPC and email solo ads. These can give you amost instant results in less than 1 day.
By far the best long term earning potential comes from creating your own referral page such as a review page or blog, and then build the traffic you get to that page. This method will give you a long term income potential, which can increase over time. This is the method my highest earning affiliates use, and I strongly recommend you try this if you are serious about exploiting the best potential from this.
