Clickbank vendor question - Paying affiliates in the backend

by Adam Roy
7 replies
Howdy.

I was reading on Clickbank's one-click upsell feature, but you have to have pulled in more then 5,000 sales to become eligible.

I want affiliates to make commissions on sales made on the back end, after initial purchase. How do I do this without utilizing Clickbank's one-click upsell feature?

PS This will be my first time putting anything on clickbank so any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

I want my affiliates to make commissions if I offer up a product a month or so after the customer purchased, rather than immediately after purchase you know?

      If it's in the same account just make another product. Not sure how long the cookies last though. But that's how you do upsells without using one click. It still tracks as long as it's the same main account being used.

        Wow really? Well if that's the case scratch what I said.

        And yea this is true because affiliate links dont have the item ID in it like the vendor link does.

        I heard something somewhere, that if you have more than one product on your account, the user sees these as options while they're purchasing, is this true?

          No that's not true. No one will know you have extra products on your account unless you offer the products to them.

          Affiliates will be paid commissions on any product sold through the same account as the product they are promoting - provided it is within 60 days of their referral.

    This is taken straight from the Horses mouth. I went through this with Clickbank sometime ago...

    "There are two ways to present a "One-Time Offer" to your potential
    customers. The first is to present the offer before any purchase has been made.

    The purchase path would look like this:

    1. Customer reads your Pitch Page and clicks on the button to purchase.

    2. Instead of taking the customer to the order form, the button takes the
    customer the next page of your site that offers an optional upgrade to the
    product.

    3. The customer chooses between the payment buttons for either the original
    product or the upgrade version and purchases. The different buttons have
    different links, relating to the different item versions under the "My Products"
    section of your account.

    For example, the Thank You Page for the original item alone is listed as Item 1
    and the second Thank You Page (that includes downloads for both the original
    product and the upgrade) is listed as Item 2.

    Then your Payment links would say:

    http://1.VENDOR.pay.clickbank.net

    http://2.VENDOR.pay.clickbank.net

    4. After purchasing, the customer goes to the Thank You Page of whichever
    version of the product they chose to buy.


    The other way to present a "One-Time Offer" is to offer the upgrade after the
    customer has purchased the original product. The purchase path would look like this:

    1. Customer has just completed purchasing the main product and is taken to the Thank You Page for that product.

    2. Upon arriving at the Thank You Page, the customer should see these three
    things at the top of the page:

    * A note from you that tells the customer they have completed their order and will see a charge from CLKBANK*COM or ClickBank on their statement.

    * Your contact email address for technical support.

    * The instructions on how to obtain the product the customer has just purchased.

    After these three items have been clearly displayed on the page, you may offer an additional product below. Keep in mind that you must make it very clear that the customer can have access to the product they purchased without having to purchase anything further, and also that purchasing the second product will result in an additional charge.

    After you present the one-time offer product, you must have two links at the
    bottom of the offer: a link where the customer can buy the second product, and a link that clearly states that they can opt-out of the offer and simply be taken to the product they have already purchased.

    3. At this point the customer will choose to either buy the one-time offer
    product, or ignore it and choose the link that takes them to their download.

    4. If the customer chooses to purchase the one-time offer product, that link
    will take them to the ClickBank order form for the second product. Make sure
    that after the customer orders the second product they are able to get both of the products they had purchased.

    No matter which method you use to present your one-time offer, make sure that you always give your customers the option to choose just the basic option that they were originally interested in. Customers will not purchase upgrades they feel forced into buying."

    Hope that clears things up for you...

    Cool thanks guys!

    So, I can in fact say there are Upsells, even if they are not offered immediately after purchase right?
