Clickbank affiliates that use landing pages?

Vendor's site offer free report to gain email subscribers. Then vendor offers the real product to the subscribers. If you're an affiliate, you will get the sale when the email subscriber (that visited your affiliate link in the first place) buys the product.

Anyone know?

He already answered your question. let me try again..

you send the visitors through your affiliate link,
they are forced through the 'squeeze page',
then usually they are presented with a stop page thaty tells
them to go confirm their email
when they click to confirm their email they are taken to
the download page for the free offer and usually they
will try to upsell them into a paid version and often if
they click no to the upsell they'll be presented with a
downsell which is a paid version but with less bells and whistles.

a simple example - they offer a free book on how to do container gardening,
i'm into to that so i give em my name and email, i then go and click the link
in the confirmation email, and i'm taken to a thank you page where i can grab
my free download, but on the same page, they say:

wait, before you go... would you like to buy these 7 videos where we show
you how to select perfect fertilzer, how to pick the right planting pots, how
to setup a cheap irrigation system to water your plants with ease for under $10
bucks, as well as a quick rund down of common pests and diseases and how to
plan/overcome them, etc, plus we'll give you 10 email credits that allow you to contact us for one on one email support - for only $47?

and i say no $47 is too much right now, so they say, ok we realize that $47 might
be a bit much right now for you, so how about we give you all the videos, but take out the 10 one-on-one support emails, and you pay just $27 instead?

so that's how they tend to work.

but be careful with this method - some merchant only give you credit for 30, 60 or 90 days. professional companies will permanently link your affiliate id to their email, so no matter whenthey buy from the follow up emails, they will be forced through your affiliate link before they are allowed to purchase so you still get credit for years to come - this is how i usually setup my programs, and sometimes i go as far as making my sites by referral only - so nobody can join without a valid referral link, and everyone is forced to join under an existing member.

but most don't do this, and instead they just use a 30-90 day cookie that expires.

either way they set it up is fine though.

I use the same method Its easy I have a opt in page that gives away a free report. This is sent over 7 days thats 1 per day I also have in the reports a link to clickbank products related to the report Any sales made I get a commission.
Hope this helps
