Attention New Affiliates: If you are an affiliate that signed up for a ClickBank account after 10/29/19, make sure you navigate from the new Master Account dash to the operational page of ClickBank before proceeding with these instructions.
The ClickBank Marketplace is a space where ClickBank Vendors provide information about the prodcuts they offer. Affiliates can search the marketplace to find out more about particular products and vendors—including their available promotional materials and sales statistics.
The ClickBank Marketplace simplifies the process of finding products to promote. Using the specialized search function, affiliates can browse a multitude of products searching by language, category, type, etc.
When an affiliate finds a product they want to promote, the affiliate generates a HopLink (also known as a referral tracking link) that combines the affiliates account nickname and the vendor’s account nickname. Any sales made via this link are tracked and the affiliate will receive commission according to the product’s commission percentage.
