Quick Start
Five steps take you from no ClickBank account at all to a promotion that is live, honest and tracked. Each step links to the page that does the job, so you never have to hunt for anything.
Do them in order once. After that, each new promotion is just steps 3 to 5.
ClickBank runs the shop for Mind Makeover. It tracks every sale you send and pays your commission straight to you, so your account there is the only one you need. When you sign up you choose a ClickBank ID (ClickBank also calls it your nickname): 5 to 10 letters and/or numbers.
Type your ClickBank ID on the Get Your Link page and click Save My Link. Your link is saved in this browser, and from then on every email, banner code and article in this area shows your link instead of the sample one.
To check it works, follow your link through to the order page and look at the bottom of the order form. You should see affiliate= followed by your ClickBank ID.
Start with one piece, not ten. Choose the one that matches the place you already talk to people, add one honest sentence of your own, and keep the rest for your follow-ups.
Tell your readers you earn a commission, close to the link, where they see it before they click. It is the law in many countries, and readers trust a recommendation more when you are open about it. Here is the line for an email:
Just so you know: the link in this email is an affiliate link, so if you buy Mind Makeover through it, I earn a commission. It does not change the price you pay.
Give each place you share your link its own tracking ID, such as email1, blog_review or pinterest. Add it in the Tracking ID box on the Get Your Link page, or put it after tid= in your link. Your ClickBank reports then show the clicks and sales for each one, so you can see what sells and do more of it.

Start where your readers already are. Each path names the resources to open first, how to run it and the one rule to keep in mind.

How to run it
Send one story email first, then a second one a day or two later with a different angle. Put an ordinary newsletter between promotions so your list keeps looking forward to your emails.
Keep in mind
Only email people who signed up to hear from you. Keep the disclosure line in the email itself.

How to run it
Publish a review or a how-to article, then link to it from your other posts about dating, confidence and relationships. Your own photos and a line or two from your own experience make the page yours.
Keep in mind
Put the disclosure at the top of the page and next to the first link. Rewrite the articles in your own words for search, since many affiliates get the same text.

How to run it
Lead with something useful about self-worth or dating, and let the book be the next step for anyone who wants more. Keep your link in your bio or the first comment, as each platform allows.
Keep in mind
Start the caption with #ad or switch on the paid-partnership label. Only post links in groups whose rules allow them.

How to run it
Send ad clicks to your own page first, such as one of the presell pages on your own domain, and link to the sales page from there. Start with a small test budget and change one thing at a time.
Keep in mind
Email Andrew to have your website reviewed before you run Google or Bing ads. No bidding on our brand names, and no ads that point straight at your hoplink.
