Attention New Vendors: If you are a ClickBank Vendor 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.
An important step in attracting ClickBank Affiliates to promote your product is adding a listing to the ClickBank Marketplace.
The ClickBank Affiliate Marketplace is an online marketplace that displays all active accounts with products currently for sale. When affiliates are looking for products to promote, they often check the Affiliate Marketplace first. It’s up to the ClickBank Vendor to create a compelling description to list on the Marketplace to interest potential affiliates.
ClickTip: Each ClickBank Account can only have one Marketplace listing associated with it. If you have different products in different categories, consider opening an additional ClickBank Account. Vendors can link their account together to access via one login. For more information on adding an additional ClickBank Account, check out this article.
