Licensed Distributors of My Shopping Genie may earn commissions on sales of ClickBank products that result from clicks on the Genies they have distributed. In order to activate this extremely powerful feature of your Genie, you must register with ClickBank. Complete instructions for doing that are in your online office. Log in to your online office, click on “Maintenance”, click on “Link Your Affiliate Programs To Your Genie”, read the instructions toward the top of that page and click the link that takes you to detailed instructions for each program.

After you complete the steps for the ClickBank Affiliate program, your Genies will carry your code and all sales from your Genies will be recorded on the ClickBank website. You should log in to ClickBank.com regularly to check your stats and maintain your account.

So, now you are a ClickBank affiliate. What else can you do with ClickBank?

While you were in there signing up, did you look around? Did you take a look at the thousands of products that are in the ClickBank Marketplace?

You are not limited to using My Shopping Genie to promote ClickBank products and earn commissions. In fact, if you do have your own website (and all serious My Shopping Genie distributors should!) or post regularly to your blogs, it is entirely legal, ethical, and downright smart to be promoting ClickBank products independently.

Browse the Marketplace and look for products or services that appeal to your own needs and interests. Not all product creators provide good sales materials, but many do. Look for those who provide graphic or text promotional materials that you can use on your site or in your blogs. It really makes no difference whatsoever if your commission comes from a blog post or a click on your Genie. The links and the codes are the same. The only difference is how your buyer finds the ClickBank product, so it is certainly okay for you to promote your My Shopping Genie link in the same blog post.

Sunny Suggs, the owner of BootScootinTraffic (a manual traffic exchange), has written several very helpful guides for those of us who are new to website and product promotion. Her newest is  All About Clickbank, and she is allowing me to give it away. You can access the PDF document HERE.

All About Clickbank takes you through the steps of registering an account (as does your My Shopping Genie online office instructions), but it also shows you how to create “hop links” to promote ClickBank products in places other than your Genie.

NOTE: If you have not yet activated the ClickBank feature of your My Shopping Genie, do that FIRST, before you download and use any links in Sunny’s book. It probably really doesn’t matter, but it would be better for you to use the referral link in your MSG online office rather than Sunny’s referral link.

The ClickBank Marketplace will give you lots of ideas for good blog content, as well as increasing the likelihood of earning commissions. Don’t leave money on the table! Now that you are a ClickBank affiliate, take advantage of the opportunities that affiliation provides.
