I recently received a few questions about creating links and how to do clickbank tracking.

“… About clickbank…I have been reading up on it. So you create a hop-link and then post it all over the place? Where do you suggest posting them to get the best results? Also…I was a little confused about actually creating the hoplink and having an ID tracker. how do you do that?  Thank you!! You’re awesome and have been so much help!”

There’s quite a few questions in this question so let’s tackle them all.

1. “you create a hoplink and then post it all over the place?”

UMMM. . . not so much.  Your best bet to making affiliate sales is to find products that are relevant to the things you’re talking about. Then provide some information about the topic and offer up the product as a solution or more information.

example:

I have a my “wahm blog” where I talk about cooking and family and how I put all the things I do together without going insane.  I’ve been thinking about doing some 30 day cooking.  Now if I was to do a whole blog post focused on 30 day cooking I might check clickbank to see if there was a guide or manual about how to do 30 day cooking. At the end of my post I could mention if people want to get started or learn more here’s a great resource, and then give the link.

Being relevant and targeted to the information you are discussing is the BEST way to create affiliate sales.

2. “Where do you suggest posting them to get the best results?”

If you have a blog ~ doing a blog post on a specific topic and then using a product to provide more relevant information is a great way to go. If you don’t have a blog there are tons of places you can do something similar for free.

Squidoo ~ you can create a Squidoo lens on the topic and then have a link to the book for more information.  (If you don’t know how to create a squidoo lens, here’s a FREE 7 day how to Squidoo course that will take you through it step by step.)

Blogger is another great place you can create free content. It’s a blogging platform, but they host all the content for you, so all you have to do is post.

Hubpages ~ another great place to create free content, very similar to Squidoo.

The key is to create very focused content on one topic. Make sure you provide quality information but don’t give it all away ~ or there’s no reason for them to buy.  My mentor Jimmy D. Brown calls it “useful but incomplete” So go ahead and tell them WHAT ~ and then lead them to your affiliate product for the HOW.

3. “I was a little confused about actually creating the hoplink and having an ID tracker.”

To answer this I’ve put together a little video that will hopefully make things clear.  Below the video you will find the html code I talked about in the video you will need to create a clickable link for your affiliate link.

Now as far as creating a clickable link ~ don’t forget if you’re using a place that has a text editor you can just click the chain link button in the text editor (once you’ve highlighted the text you want to make clickable) and then put the link in the box that opens up.

If you’re creating content somewhere that doesn’t have a text editor ~ like Squidoo you will need to use html, but it’s not hard.

The code you will need is this:

<a href=”youraffiliateurl”>the keywords you want clickable</a>

That’s all there is to it.
