Introduction: What Is ClickBank, Really?
ClickBank is a platform that connects:
You get a unique link. When someone buys through it, you get paid.
Simple. The complexity comes from choosing the right offer.
Step 1: Start With Your Niche, Not the Marketplace
Before logging into ClickBank, answer:
-
Who am I talking to?
-
What problem are they dealing with right now?
Examples:
-
“Beginners who want to start an online business.”
-
“Small business owners who need better marketing.”
This will save you hours of random scrolling.
Step 2: Use Filters Intentionally
When you’re in the Marketplace:
-
Choose a category that fits your person (e-business, marketing, health, etc.)
-
Sort by relevance, gravity, or popularity—but don’t worship the numbers
-
Open 3–5 offers and inspect them closely
What to look for:
-
Clear, believable promise
-
Solid, non-shady sales page
-
Decent support and materials for affiliates
Step 3: Evaluate Offers Like a Human, Not Just a Marketer
Ask:
-
Would I feel good sending someone I care about to this page?
-
Does it genuinely solve the problem I’m talking about?
-
Would I buy this myself?
If the answer is “no,” move on. There are plenty of options.
Step 4: Plan the Path, Not Just the Link
Don’t just blast your ClickBank link everywhere.
Think:
-
How will people discover this? (content, social, email)
-
Where will I clearly explain the problem and solution? (posts, videos)
-
How can I follow up with people who don’t buy right away? (email list)

Step 5: Start With One Offer and One Plan
Instead of grabbing 10 links, do this:
-
Choose one offer.
-
Map out 3–5 pieces of content that point toward the problem it solves.
-
Decide where you’ll capture leads (optional but powerful).
-
Decide how you’ll share your link in a way that serves, not spams.
