After you have become an official member
on clickbank.com, you are able to start promoting and advertising
the Mx Training Journal software.
There
is no difficulty in marketing Mx Training Journal.
As a matter of fact, the only thing you should do is to
place special links on the web pages you own or in the newsletters
you send. It is in this way that you send traffic towards
the MxTrainingJournal.com website. How
does this work? It’s simple: the links you put on
your web pages are actually called “clickbank hoplinks”
and represent the way in which Clickbank manages to keep
track of the traffic one sends towards MxTrainingJournal.com.
This is how you get credit from the sales your pages generate
through these special hoplinks.
Now
that you have your own clickbank account, the next step
is to learn how to generate a hoplink. In order for the
process to be successful, and for the link to get a commission,
you must pay attention to the way in which you code the
hoplink. An incorrect code will prevent the link from being
productive.
2
easy steps to correctly make your hoplink:
The
current standard format of a clickbank hoplink looks like
this:
http://xxxxxxx.vendor.hop.clickbank.net
The vendor for Mx Training Journal is me John Melin so the link above should
look like this:
http://xxxxxxx.johnmelin.hop.clickbank.net
The x’s in the link above stand for the clickbank
affiliate name of the person who wants to promote the product,
so the last step you have to do would be to replace them
with your own affiliate nickname.
Example: Let us say your clickbank affiliate
nickname is JohnSmith. In this case, the hoplink promoting
Mx Training Journal software should look
like this:
http://JohnSmith.johnmelin.hop.clickbank.net
Piece of cake!
How does the process actually happen? Whenever
Internet users click one of your hoplinks, they are immediately
redirected towards www.mxtrainingjournal.com. Next, a small tracking file (called “cookie”)
is placed inside the visitor’s computer, marking his
visit as coming from your hoplink.
When do you get paid? As Clickbank works
with 60 days cookies, whenever someone your hoplink sends
towards MxTrainingJournal.com page buys the product, you
will get the commission for that sale. It doesn’t
matter whether that visitor doesn’t purchase the My
Training Journal software that very day or not. If he returns
any time within the next 60 days, you will still be paid
for the sale. And just for you to know, you will get somewhere
around $18.00, the equivalent
of 51% commission rate of net sale.
Any tips? Of course. My last suggestion
is to “hide” the fact that you’re working
with an affiliate hoplink by using a “DISPLAY URL”
of www.mxtrainingjournal.com instead of
the actual clickbank hoplink. The explanation is that people
are reluctant to the idea of being sold a product on a commission
basis, as they don’t see the promoter as an independent
3rd party which offers them a simple “recommendation”,
but as someone who is only interested in getting the commission
from the sale. The immediate consequence is a drop in the
conversion rate and neither of us wants that to happen.
It is from this very reason (and not only) that some of
the advanced Internet marketers have started to use the
“link cloaking” strategy, but this will be the
subject of a future article.

need help during the process!
