Quick Start

Your first 30 minutes as a Brilliant Yoga affiliate

If you have just joined, this page walks you from a brand new ClickBank account to your first email or post going out, in about half an hour. Do the steps in order and you will finish with a working link, a message that matches what your readers will see, and a way to tell which of your promotions is bringing in the sales.

You do not need a website, and you do not need to write anything from scratch. Everything you send is already written for this program, and the area fills in your link for you.

7 steps, about 30 minutes Your ClickBank ID is remembered on this computer once you save it, so you can stop and come back at any step.

    Get your ClickBank ID

    ClickBank handles every Brilliant Yoga order and pays every commission, so your ClickBank account is what gets you paid. If you do not have one yet, sign up for free at ClickBank. The nickname you choose when you sign up is your ClickBank ID, also called your affiliate ID, and it is the name you use to log in.

    Your ID must be 5 to 10 letters or numbers. Write it down, because you will need it in the next step.

    Make your hoplink and save it

    Go to the Promotion Links page, type in your ClickBank ID and choose a landing page. If you are not sure which one, choose the video sales page, because Sarah's video does the selling for you.

    Then press Save My Link. From that moment on, every email, post, banner and article in this area shows your own link instead of the sample, so whatever you copy is ready to use.

    Add a tracking ID, so you know what works

    A tracking ID (ClickBank calls it a tid) is a short label of your own that you add to a hoplink, such as email1, fb-group or pinterest. It costs nothing, your readers never notice it, and it lets your ClickBank reports show which email or post each sale came from.

    Use a different tracking ID for each place you promote. After a week you will know exactly where to put more effort, which is the difference between guessing and growing. You can add one on the Promotion Links page, right next to your ClickBank ID.

    Example only: once your link is saved, this shows your own ID. Change email1 to a label for each place you post.

    Watch the first ten minutes of Sarah's video

    Your readers will land on Sarah's sales video, so watch the opening yourself before you send anyone there. In the first few minutes she sets out her main idea, that weight loss is not only about calories in and calories out, and why stress and cravings sit at the centre of her program.

    The full video is long, so come back and finish it later. Once you know what the page says, your email or post can pick up the same thread, and readers who click feel they have arrived in the right place.

    Check the rules before you press send

    Brilliant Yoga is a weight loss and well-being program, so the words you use matter. Never promise a set amount of weight lost or results by a certain date, never use before-and-after claims, and never present yourself as Sarah or the owner of the program.

    Keep the disclosure line at the end of everything you send, and do not bid on the Brilliant Yoga name in paid ads. Everything in this area already follows these rules, so if you change the words, keep to the same limits.

    Test your link, then send your first email or post

    Click your hoplink once yourself. It should open Sarah's sales page, and that is all you need to check. Please do not buy through your own link, because ClickBank does not allow affiliates to earn commission on their own purchases.

    Now send your first email or publish your first post. Tomorrow, log in to ClickBank and look at your reports, where you will see the clicks on your link, grouped by your tracking IDs.

After your first 30 minutes

Days 2 to 5

Keep the launch sequence going, one email a day, or post one new piece from the social page every couple of days. Use a fresh tracking ID for each.

End of week one

Open your ClickBank reports and compare your tracking IDs. Do more of whatever brought clicks and sales, and drop what did not.
