Author Intern System Affiliate Program
Dear Partner,
Welcome to the Author Intern
affiliate program!
Our Affiliate Program is managed by ClickBank, one of the oldest and most reputable retailers of digital products on the Internet. You will receive your payments directly from ClickBank. You will also be provided with Web access to your sales statistics so you can directly monitor your sales activity. Because we view you as a partner, we are offering a generous 50% commission for each sale that you make.
To begin referring potential customers to the AuthorInterns.com Website, you need to sign up for a ClickBank "Nickname" and create a "hoplink." Your "Nickname" identifies you as the referrer. Then to earn credit for a sale, your customer must first follow a ClickBank hoplink. The link takes the customer to the AuthorInterns.com sales page, and automatically credits you with that referral.
Getting Started:
1. If you do not already have your free "ClickBank Nickname," sign up to promote products and obtain your Nickname. Go to:
https://www.clickbank.com/affiliateAccountSignup.htm?key=
2. Create a "hoplink for the Author Intern Program using the following URL:
http://YOUR_NICKNAME.vmti0126.hop.clickbank.net
Just replace "YOUR_NICKNAME" with your actual Nickname and use the URL to forward your visitors to the AuthorInterns.com Website.
That's it! So for example, if your ClickBank Nickname is "judy1234" your Affiliate link will be:
http://judy1234.vmti0126.hop.clickbank.net
Here is the link in html:
<a href="http://judy1234.vmti0126.hop.clickbank.net" target=_top>CLICK HERE</a>
You can replace CLICK HERE with any promotional text or image you prefer.
To open a hoplink in a new window, use the following:
Set the target attribute of the hoplink to "_blank". Here's an example:
href="http://judy1234.vmti0126.hop.clickbank.net" target="_blank"
Testing Your Hoplink to ensure its working
You can verify that your links are set up correctly by following these steps:
1. Enter your hoplink into a new browser window, and hit ""Enter."
2. Click on one of the AuthorInterns.com ClickBank order links.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the
ClickBank payment window. You should see your
account nickname listed as the affiliate. For example,
[affiliate = judy1234].
This test proves that your link is set up correctly. It also ensures that your account will be credited with any commissions earned from paying customers as a direct result of your referral.
As mentioned above, ensure that your
link is set up in the following format:
http://judy1234.vmti0126.hop.clickbank.net
- Replace judy1234 with your Nickname.
Author Intern Program Marketing Suggestions
Personal Recommendation to your List
A personal recommendation is by far the most effective method used to close sales.
Write a Review
Another powerful way to increase your sales is by writing a review. Tell your visitors exactly what you think of the product and explain what this product has done for you; or how much time it has saved you. Remember to focus on the benefits.
At the end of your review, highly
recommend the product to your visitors and
provide them with a link containing your ClickBank link to the product.
Other Promotional Materials
Add Some Originality
Although you will be provided with promotional materials, keep in mind that the top selling affiliates develop their own promotional methods and sales copy. If you use the same exact material for your marketing campaign as everyone else, you will not distinguish yourself from the competition. To experience better results, you should develop your own style and simply use the promotional information provided as a guideline.
Articles
You can post the following articles on your Website or include them in your e-zine. In the Resource Box, change the URL to your ClickBank link. These articles cannot be edited or modified. Only this link can be changed
