Afficliate Links In ClickBank Digital Ebook Okay?

by ghcoleman

Hello,

I'm just writing an ebook to sell via Clickbank and wanted to know if it is okay to include my own affiliate links to products described in the ebook?

I just wondered how clickbank affiliates would respond if they don't get a cut of the extra profits via those affiliate links?

Cheers,

Glenn

    If the ebook sells well on it's own merit, then affiliates probably won't mind. And actually - most affiliates sell clickbank items without ever knowing what's in the product.

    It's probably kind of like how I feel when I check out the marketplace on CB and click on the sales pages and the signup popups for names and email addresses comes up. A little underhanded. If the person decides to not purchase but sign up for the "free" newsletter does the affiliate get the name and email address? No.

    If you want to sell affiliate products by way of an e-book then give the e-book away to build your list.

      Actually - opt in forms on clickbank pages sometimes get an underserved bad rap. For instance, I have a product w/ an opt in on the page, that actually brings my affiliates more sales. The affiliate may not get the actual email address, but because of clickbank's 60 day cookie, they'll get a sale later that they would have not recieved if the opt in form wasn't there.

    I promote several clickbank products (and I purchase most of them first ), and I have no problem with affiliate links inside the product. As long as I get my commission, I'm happy.

    I will admit, though, that for my own products I sometimes give affiliates a branding tool so they can get the commissions for the products mentioned inside my e-book. I generally do it this way when I'm trying to add to my list.

    Hope that helps!

    There is seriously not a problem with it. I sell ebooks on clickbank and paydotcom and i have never had a complaint as long as you are sincere about it. Dont plaster an ebook with affiliate links but say if your showing someone how to create their first ever website an affiliate link through to hostgator or godaddy is a great idea. Plus you will get good affiliate sales back from it.
