Step 1

Registering Your Affiliate Account

You as the affiliate will have to sign up for an affiliate program either directly from one vendor’s website that offers affiliate program or through an affiliate network. I assume that you are a beginner so I recommend you sign up with affiliate network so you can have access to multiple affiliate products that you want to promote. By doing this, you will have one check payment for all your affiliate sales commissions in different products that you promote.

Joining affiliate programs is free. All you need to do is sign up to the affiliate network’s application form and agree to the terms and conditions set by the affiliate network. What you should understand here most is that you are NOT an employee of the company. It is not a contract job. You are on your own so it is up to you how you work out your affiliate marketing promotions. You set your own hours. You get paid only when you generate sales through your affiliate promotions.

The following are my recommended affiliate networks where you can register:

1. www.clickbank.com – considered as the largest marketplace for digital products. Each vendor (merchant) selects an affiliate commission percentage for their products in advance. Affiliates (you) promote the products, and refer interested customers to the vendor's web site. The vendor's web site explains the product, and refers customers directly to ClickBank to buy it. ClickBank makes the sale, pays the vendor, and pays the affiliate. Affiliates can freely promote any product and be assured that they will be paid for every sale they generate. Vendors can freely accept new affiliates without fear of fraud or misrepresentation. ClickBank's services are underpinned by four patents that protect key aspects of the system, including the linking of payment to the distribution of commissions. You will be issued your own account with log in
access. All lickbank affiliate commissions are processed instantly through the affiliate program. No affiliate commissions are processed manually. They are automatically sent in once a customer purchases.

2. www.cj.com – Lots of great affiliate products are also offered here. CJ, which stands for Commission Junction is one of the most well-known programs, with over 1000 companies to choose from. Some people are making over $100k per month just from this provider!


3. www.paydotcom.com – This is another affiliate network for ebooks and softwares. They pay commisions through PayPal every 15 days.

4. www.amazon.com – the largest marketplace for both digital and physical products. The best thing with amazon is that most people that you direct to the marketplace know what they want and they are hot buyers!

I highly suggest you start with Clickbank.com. They have more than 11,000 digital products where you can choose from and there are many hot selling products in different niches in there that many people are buying so you can also position yourself in getting a cut on those hot selling products. So far, in my experience it is the easiest and fastest way to enter a market as compared to other affiliate networks.

In Clickbank, each vendor (merchant) selects an affiliate commission percentage for their products in advance. Affiliates (you) promote the products, and refer interested customers to the vendor's web site. The vendor's web site explains the product, and refers customers directly to ClickBank to buy it. ClickBank handles the sales transaction, pays the vendor, and pays the affiliate. Affiliates can freely promote any product and be assured that they will be paid for every sale they generate. Vendors can freely accept new affiliates without fear of fraud or misrepresentation.
ClickBank's services are underpinned by four patents that protect key aspects of the system, including the linking of payment to the distribution of commissions. It is absolutely free to sign up as a ClickBank affiliate and you can use the same ClickBank account to be an affiliate for any of their 11,000+ merchants. You will be issued your own account with log in access. All Clickbank affiliate commissions are processed instantly through the affiliate program. No affiliate commissions are processed manually. They are automatically sent in once a customer purchases.

You can go to the following link to sign up:


https://accounts.clickbank.com/public/signup.html

When you sign up, your Clickbank ID is very important. It will be required for you to log in to your account, to change your password and the most important is for tracking your affiliate sales as this will be included in your affiliate link. Since the Clickbank ID will be included in the hoplink, you would want to keep it short. You either select an “easy to remember id” like your name or to have a very unique ID like z4x51.

Fill up the necessary information in the sign up fields. All fields with asterisk are required. You may just enter your mobile phone number if you do not have a landline. Be sure to read to client contract and click the box that indicates you agree to the Terms and Conditions of Clickbank. It is required on becoming a Clickbank affiliate.


After submitting the form, a confirmation code will be emailed to you. Just follow the instruction
in the email or enter the confirmation code and your account will be created. Finally, your account password will be automatically generated for you. With these, you can now log in to your account using your Clickbank ID and password.


You would receive an email after you submit your application from Clickbank as an affiliate.
Just click on the confirmation link to confirm your application. Once it is confirmed, you are now
eligible to promote products in the Clickbank marketplace.
