My New Year’s Resolution
January 22nd, 2009
Posted by: Jennifer Johannsen, VP of Operations
With the start of every new year, of course, comes New Year’s Resolutions… Well, this year, one of my New Year’s Resolutions (which I challenge you all to take on, as well) is to spread the word about ClickBank to friends and other acquaintances.
During these challenging economic times, ClickBank offers a unique opportunity for anyone to make a little extra money, either as an affiliate or as a publisher. I realized that while I see all of the benefits ClickBank has to offer day in and day out, I rarely tell people that I run into outside of work why it would benefit them to join and how they can get started.
As Greg and Jeff mentioned in their blog posts (”DIY with ClickBank” and “Put Me in Coach…“), first you need to think about your unique knowledge and about your niche. Then you can take that to the next level, and think about what kinds of problems and questions your friends have the answers to that most people don’t, and explain to them the benefits of writing that up in an e-book and selling that through ClickBank.
For those of you that spread the word online, there is something in it for you too… ClickBank’s publisher referral program is a great way for you to promote ClickBank and earn extra commissions for doing so. You will earn 20% of the $49.95 activation charge when your referred publisher activates their account. You will also earn 5% of ClickBank’s typical markup of each sale that your recruited publisher makes for one calendar year. For more information, please visit the Referral Program and the Referral Program FAQ page on the ClickBank Web site.
I wish you and all of your referrals the VERY best in 2009!!!

I think that this is a great resolution, and a good way to spread the word about Click Bank. This would be a great benefit to me as a publisher.
But I would like to suggest that if you want your affiliate program (having people refer new publishers) to click bank to succeed you should consider raising the affiliate commission. As a publisher I can tell you from my own experience that not to many people will promote my product if I give even 50% commission.
In addition I think you should dig a little deeper into your own blog for some great ideas and tips on how to be a successful publisher.
Here is one blog post that I suggest you start with.

Here is a quick quote
“When you are new to ClickBank, you may be thinking “I can’t afford to offer 50% or higher commission to affiliates.” The real question you should ask is, can you afford NOT to?”

Good Luck
Keep up the good work, I enjoy the blog a lot, I have been following you guys since day one and I enjoy to see this blog grow, together with ClickBanks affiliate Program.
I came to the blog hoping that there would be some information on offer to explain whats going on with clickbank stats? Last 2.5 days stats have been crazy. When I go to check our Awstats, I find they are crazy as well.
Anyone know whats going on?
Clickbank used to pay commissions for referring new AFFILIATES as well as publishers. I recall Clickbank paid a small commission for every sale a referred affiliate made. Don’t know why Clickbank decided to stop paying commissions for referring affiliates but that is why I haven’t promoted Clickbank in a long time.
