Clickbank exclusive links? can it be done?

[osail]

ive contacted clickbank on this and haven't received a answer

Suppose i have a product and i want to discount it and have it be available only for one particular affiliate.

now the reason why i say this is to help keep it exclusive to that person. and to not really have the offer open to usual affiliates or to have it open on the marketplace at clickbank to be shared with others so that i do not lose money from the discount link being shared.

any ways of doing this or methods?

or perhaps their is a hassle free way of setting up a affiliate link not threw clickbank?

Thanks

Well I've never seen CB offer anything like that, but you can do something similar on your own without much work if you can take payment another way (paypal etc)

Then just give the affiliate you want to give the discount to a link that says yoursiteexample.com/offerpage.php?discount=12345

Then add this php to your site

<?php
$discount=$_GET['discount'];

if($discount=="12345"){
header("refresh: 0; url=/discountofferpage.html");
}
?>

Hope I've helped. Let me know if you have any more questions.

hmm it kind of dose, however the thing i do like about CB is that it automates several things and dosent have a huge fee to it.

paypal dose on the other hand, plus i have had my account hacked into several times and would not like to deal with that again.

is there another service that takes care of,
main fee, Subscription fee, and affiliate commissions?

You might want to look into 1shoppingcart.com, I've been using them on some projects and been very happy with the features... autoresponder, payment processer, affiliate software with 1st and 2nd tier, etc., everything a growing marketer needs to build a business.

Osail,

There are two methods

1. Set up another Item in your CB account at the discounted
price. You will then need an affiliate management script
like easyClickMate or Hopguard to provide affiliate links to
the two different items.

2. Set up another CB account with that product, for that
affiliate only, but don't submit it to the CB marketplace.

i thought it was automatically sent to CB marketplace, like you didnt have a say whether to list it or not.
(if your wondering, no i dont have a product, im just trying to figure some things out for an idea i have)

i think this may work, im not sure on how to test it out though and make it work, im slightly familiar with code and php. but not to greatly.

also i was thinking about using paydot.com.

although to be a merchant do you have to have a pro paypal account for you to pay your affiliates?

No - you have the option.

If you want to test the code I gave you (even though the other option might be the better way to go) Just Create 2 "sales" pages.

the first you would name index.php and the second you would name discountoffer.html

you add the php script from above anywhere on the index.php page (inside the head tags works best)

Then just upload both pages to your ftp.

Open your browser to mysite.com/whateverfolderyouuploadedthefilesto/ and you should see the body you wrote for index.php

Then type in mysite.com/whateverfolder.../?discount=12345 and you should see whatever you wrote up on the discount offer page.

Voila

Hope this helps
