ClickBank Sign Up Instructions
Clickbank is the 3rd party company that handles the processing of our credit card transactions as well as the affiliate program tracking. (All commission checks are mailed out directly from clickbank). In order to promote the Turbulence Training e-book, you must first become a Clickbank affiliate.
If you're not yet signed up at clickbank, then setting up your clickbank account is the very first step. Simply click on the link at the bottom of this page that says, “Clickbank Sign up”; and a new window will open up that takes you to the clickbank.com signup form.
On the clickbank sign up page, you can fill in your personal details and pick your own special clickbank account name (also called a clickbank “nickname”).
After you've set up your clickbank account, then you're ready to start promoting the e-book through your special affiliate hoplinks. When someone purchases after coming through your link, you receive 51% commission on each sale.

Once you have signed up at clickbank for an affiliate account (it's free, just go to the: Clickbank Sign Up Instructions), then you are ready to start promoting and marketing the ebook.
Creating Clickbank "Hoplinks"
Marketing the Stubborn 7 Pounds ebook is simple. All you do is put special links on your webpages or in your newsletters to send traffic to the Stubborn 7 Pounds website. These links are called "CLICKBANK HOPLINKS" and they are important because this is how Clickbank keeps track of the traffic you send to www.stubborn7.com and gives you credit for the e-book sales you generate.
So the very first step after you have signed up for your clickbank account is to understand how to make a hoplink. Keep in mind, if you make your link incorrectly, that is kind of like putting an ad in the yellow pages and using the wrong phone number! (YOU are responsible to make sure your hoplinks are coded correctly!!!! )
Here is how to correctly make your hoplink:
The current standard clickbank hoplink format is:
http://xxxxxxx.vendor.hop.clickbank.net
"joshgarage" is the vendor (product) name, so that looks like this:
http://xxxxxxx.joshgarage.hop.clickbank.net
So now, all you have to do is insert YOUR clickbank affiliate nickname in the place where the x's are located
For example, if your affiliate nickname is "mraffiliate" (hint: it's NOT - use YOUR nickname, this is just an example!!!!!), then the hoplink would look like this:
http://mraffiliate.joshgarage.hop.clickbank.net
That's all there is to it! Or if you want clickbank to generate your Stubborn 7 Pounds hoplink for you, click here: Affiliate ProgramClickbank Hoplink Generator for The Stubborn 7 Pounds
When someone clicks through YOUR hoplink, they are redirected to www.stubborn7.com and a "cookie" (a small tracking file) is dropped onto the computer of the visitor. This "marks" that visitor as coming from your referral.
Clickbank uses 60 day cookies, so that means if the people you send to www.stubborn7.com purchase that day or if they return any time within the next 60 days, you will get the commission for the sale (currently 51% commission rate of net sale, or approximately $18.00 & change, U.S.).
I have one last suggestion. If you are using hoplinks on a web page, it is best you use a "DISPLAY URL" of www.stubborn7.com rather than exposing the actual clickbank hoplink. Tests have shown that when people realize they are "being sold something" on a commission basis (as opposed to simply getting a "recommendation" from an independent 3rd party), the conversion rates may drop, therefore it's best to "hide" your affiliate hoplink in your HTML code and use www.stubborn7.com as the display link.
Some advanced internet marketers even use "link cloaking" for this reason (and other reasons), but that will have to be the subject of another article.
If you have any questions about making hoplinks, whatsoever, please CONTACT ME any time!
