Clickbank: Affiliate Referral Contract

7 replies
Hi Warriors,

I am trying to set up a 2 tier commission structure for my product. Basically, to reward anyone who refers other affiliates to me.

I have already set this up with an affiliate. But what do we do after this?

Anyone with this experience, please help.

Thank you.

William

    You will need some sort of affiliate platform that supports this. Most of the hosted solution do not support this type of setup so you would probably need to run your own inhouse affiliate program using a program such as idev affiliate.

    Do you mean you have set up the Affiliate Referral Contract explained here Joint Venture ?

    Then the next step is for that affiliate to recruit affiliates and supply you with their ClickBank ids. You then add those ids to the list of referred affiliates in his contract.

      Setting Up an Affiliate Referral Contract
      An Affiliate Referral Contract is typically used to allow a ClickBank vendor to work with an affiliate manager or JV broker, who will recruit affiliates to promote the vendor's product in exchange for a portion of each sale generated by those affiliates.
      For example, Vendor A meets Affiliate Manager B at a conference or in an online forum. Affiliate Manager B knows many affiliates in the relevant niche, and offers to recommend Vendor A's products to those affiliates. Vendor A and Affiliate Manager B can create an Affiliate Referral Contract that will pay Affiliate Manager B 20% of Vendor A's portion of each sale made by one of the affiliates referred by Affiliate Manager B.
      Affiliate Referral Contracts can also be used to allow vendors to "bonus" specific affiliates above and beyond the normal 75% commission by putting the affiliate's nickname in their lists of referred affiliates and agreeing the share of the vendor's earnings that the affiliate will receive as a "bonus."
      To set up an Affiliate Referral Contract, take the following steps:
      1. Click Account Settings
      2. Click My Contracts
      3. Click Create Contract
      4. Under Name, create a unique name for this specific contract. For example, you can enter the Affiliate Manager's name or other unique details.
      5. Under Contract Type, choose "Affiliate Referral"
      6. Under Contract Partner Account Nickname, enter the ClickBank nickname (account name) of the ClickBank client with whom you wish to share a portion of each sale.
      7. For Commission %, choose the % of your share of each sale that you wish to share with your partner. Please note that this % is of your share as a vendor from each sale, rather than from the total sale amount.
      8. Optional: If you want to set a maximum amount of earnings you will pay out to your partner, you may enter it in the Maximum Payout field.
      9. Optional: Instead of a maximum amount, you can instead enter a maximum # of transactions on which you will share earnings with your partner before the contract is automatically ended. This is an easy way, for example, to give a copywriter a share of the first 500 sales.
      10. Set a Start Date for the contract.
      11. Optional: You may set a specific End Date for the contract.
      12. Optional: By checking the Requires Mutual Termination box, each partner in the contract will be required to agree to cancel the contract. If this is not selected, either party can choose to end the contract at any time.
      13. Read and agree to the terms and conditions.
      14. When you have completed these fields, click the Submit button. Your partner will receive an email asking them to confirm the contract.


      Harvey,

      The above is the contract I was referring to. I am at item 6. After entering the referral affiliate name, where do I enter their referred affiliate IDs? Or maybe I got the contract wrong entirely?

      Your help is well appreciated.
      Thank you.

      William

        Complete the contract and you will be taken to the Group Editor screen where you can add the ClickBank ids.
