The version that appears below has been
especially customized for Timeless
Enterprises' ClickBank Marketing
Affiliates.
Thank
you for your interest in the ClickBank
Affiliate Program! The ClickBank Affiliate
FAQ will answer some common questions
asked about how to earn commissions by
promoting ClickBank products.
How
do I become a ClickBank
Affiliate?
You
must first sign up for your FREE ClickBank
account. If you have not yet signed up for
a ClickBank account, please
CLICK
HERE. During
the signup process you will select your
ClickBank nickname. Your nickname is your
unique ID that allows us to accurately
track and award the commissions you earn.
You will use your nickname in all
affiliate links (hoplinks) that you
create.
Commissions
on all of the products you'll be able to
sell from the ClickBank inventory range
from 1% to 75% and are determined by the
publisher of the product. The minimum
commission for a single sale is $0.25, and
the maximum is $100.00. Please note that
ClickBank publishers can change their
commission rate at any time.
Can
I use one ClickBank Account for all of my
affiliate links?
Yes.
You can promote any number of ClickBank
products with your Timeless Enterprises
ClickBank account.
I've
opened my ClickBank account. What do I do
now?
Visit
the Timeless
Enterprises ClickBank Affiliate
page and
create your links to any of the products
available to market. You can also visit
the ClickBank Marketplace to browse all
the other ClickBank products available to
promote.
How
do I identify the most successful products
to promote?
You'll
always win when you promote
Timeless
Enterprises' ClickBank
products.
Simply select one or more, and take
advantage of our exceptional line of
products and our first-rate marketing
assistance.
You
can also visit the ClickBank.com site to
see how other Clickbank products are
ranked in the marketplace. Timeless
Enterprises frequently features other
ClickBank products on our Web sites, for
purchasers who want additional information
products. By featuring our coopetors
ClickBank products, we also earn
commissions if one of our site visitors
decides (can you imagine it???) not to
purchase one of our products, but finds
our referrals useful.
Can
ClickBank generate my hoplink code for
me?
Once
you have your ClickBank nickname, you can
visit the Timeless
Enterprises ClickBank Affiliate
page and use
the links there to generate your
proprietary hoplinks for all of our
ClickBank products.
You
can also visit the ClickBank.com
Marketplace and easily generate the
code(s) you need to add to your website
for any ClickBank product. When you find a
product you would like to promote, click
on the commission percentage. You will be
prompted to enter your ClickBank nickname,
and your hoplink code will be generated
for you.
Is
there more detail on the hoplink
format?
Yes.
You'll find this at the ClickBank.com
site. Click through to their Hoplink FAQ
for complete details.
Rather
than selecting specific products to
promote, can I simply refer customers to
the ClickBank Marketplace?
But
you can send potential customers directly
to the ClickBank Marketplace andlet them
choose any of the thousands of products
offered. When you refer a potential
customer to the ClickBank Marketplace, you
will earn a commission when a customer
follows a Marketplace link and purchases a
ClickBank product. The commission amount
is calculated by the purchase price and
the commission rate of the product. To
make a hoplink to the marketplace, use
"marketplace" as the VENDOR name in your
hoplink:
http://AFFILIATE.marketplace.hop.clickbank.net
(Be
sure to replace "AFFILIATE" with your own
ClickBank nickname.)
What
if I use an affiliate link that looks
different than the standard ClickBank
hoplink?
Please
be aware that if you use a third party
product that changes our hoplink format in
any way, there is no way for us to verify
that your commissions will be tracked
properly. ClickBank can only provide our
clients with technical support for our own
authorized hoplink format.
Can
I send customers directly to the URL that
ends in "/?hop=nickname"?
No.
The "?hop=..." is just information we pass
along to the vendor's web site AFTER
recording a legitimate referral via
hop.clickbank.net. If you bypass
hop.clickbank.net there is no way for us
to track your referral.
How
are commissions calculated?
Here
is an example of the commission
calculation if you are promoting a product
that offers a 50% commission:
Retail
Price: $49.97
$49.97
Subtract
7.5% + $1
-$4.75
Net Sale
Amount:
$45.22
50% of
the remainder:
$22.61
Therefore,
as the referring affiliate for this sale,
you would earn $22.61.
When
I earn a commission, how soon will it be
reflected in my account?
Any
commissions you earn will be posted within
two minutes of a successful
purchase.
How
can I tell which products are generating
the most sales for my
account?
Upon
logging into your ClickBank Affiliate
account, select "Click here for credit and
debit reports". Choose a date and time
frame under "Sales Reports" and click
"View". The nickname of the publisher from
whom you earned each commission will be
listed under the heading
"Referral".
How
will I be paid the commissions I
earn?
ClickBank
issues checks twice monthly to all
qualified accounts. See the ClickBank.com
Paycheck Policy for full
details.
I've
made a sale, why haven't I received a
check?

payment preference: In your account you
