How to start making money online by being an affiliate

In my last post, i have talked about adding a payment gateway to a website, so that people who are selling their products/ services can receive their money with ease from their customers.

But how about people who don't want to sell anything, but would just like to promote other people's products / services? You can start promoting products/ services that are listed in Clickbank Marketplace.

For those who don't have an account yet, you need to register an account first. It's free. Click here to register a new account with Clickbank.

After you are done with the registration, go to the Clickbank homepage, which looks like this. Click on Promote Products .



Then you will be directed to the Clickbank Marketplace. The page looks like this.



Browse through the products available. Then choose the product you would like to promote. For example i chose Butterfly Marketing Manuscript which pays 70% commission by clicking on [earn 70.0 %] . You will soon see a red pop-up window asking for your Clickbank username so that it can generate an affiliate link code for you. Key in your username and submit.



Soon you will see that red window returns an affiliate link code for you like this.



So you just have to copy and paste that link anywhere you feel appropriate. If someone click on that link, and eventually purchase that product within 60 days, you will get the referral commission. For Butterfly Marketing Manuscript, it's 70% . Better than you selling your own product huh?
