How to Make Money as a High Intensity Muscle Building Affiliate

Thanks to the Internet, there are many, many ways to promote High Intensity Muscle Building and earn money as a High Intensity Muscle Building affiliate.

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 High Intensity Muscle Building program, 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 below that says, “Clickbank sign up page link”, 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 75% commission on each sale.

Affiliate Hoplink Instructions

Once you have signed up at clickbank for an affiliate account (it's free, just go to Clickbank Sign Up Instructions), then you are ready to start promoting and marketing the e-book.

Marketing the High Intensity Muscle Building e-book is simple. All you do is put special links on your webpages or in your newsletters to send traffic to the HighIntensityMuscleBuilding.Com website. These links are called "CLICKBANK HOPLINKS" and they are important because this is how Clickbank keeps track of the traffic you send to HighIntensityMuscleBuilding.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

sportsfit is the vendor (product) name, so that looks like this:

http://xxxxxxx.sportsfit.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 mickey (note: use YOUR nickname, this is just an example!), then the hoplink would look like this:

http://mickey.sportsfit.hop.clickbank.net

That's all there is to it. When someone clicks through YOUR hoplink, they are redirected to www.HighIntensityMuscleBuilding.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 HighIntensityMuscleBuilding.com purchase that day or if they return any time within the next 60 days, you will get the commission for the sale (currently 75% commission rate of net sale).

I have one last suggestion. If you are using hoplinks on a web page, it is best you use a "DISPLAY URL" of www.HighIntensityMuscleBuilding.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.HighIntensityMuscleBuilding.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, please contact me any time!
