Selling Different Products Under One Clickbank Account
If you want to sell more than one product - like e-books on different topics - you’ll need a way to make the hoplink redirect the visitor to the appropriate page or site. You shouldn’t dump all your products on a single page, because it’s distracting to the visitor, generates less sales and no decent affiliate is going to promote an unfocused site like that.
Unfortunately ClickBank allows you to sell multiple different items, but only gives you one hoplink URL per vendor account. To comfortably sell different products under one vendor id, you’ll need to use a trick or two. Read on.
ClickBank allows you to append additional data to the hoplink, e.g. “http://affiliate.vendor.hop.clickbank.net/?product=product2″. It is possible to write a script (a computer program) that will use this information to seamlessly redirect the visitor to a different site for each item.
Luckily, you don’t have to do that yourself - there are already several solutions available :
EasyClickMate
Okay, EasyClickmate has a lot more features than just selling multiple products using one ClickBank account. It protects your download page, calculates click and conversion stats, can notify you by e-mail when an affiliate makes a sale, increases your ratings in search engines, provides a back-end for your affiliates to check their own stats and more. It’s also easy to install, and the author can install it for you (for an additional fee). More info at EasyClickMate.com
CB Multi-Item Manager
If you think you don’t need all the additional features of EasyClickMate or think it’s too expensive, take a look at this multi-item manager - www.richwerx.net/cbmim.html. For less than half the price, it will also allow you to sell more than one product under one account, and includes a download protector as a bonus.
Personally I’d recommend using EasyClickMate, as many of it’s features are really essential to being a ClickBank merchant and you’ll wonder how you managed without it.
