If you have ever been interested in making money online, then I’m sure you have heard of Clickbank and JVZoo. They are two of the most popular affiliate marketplaces.

They are websites where people add their digital products to sell, but it’s not just about them processing the payments, they have a built in affiliate system which means that other people can quickly and easily get an affiliate link to a product and then promote that product for a profit.

The products on Clickbank and JVZoo offer affiliate commissions of 25%, 30%, 50%, 75% and sometimes 100% of the sale price.

The reason some product owners pay 100% of the sale price is that they are either building up an email list to which they can sell other products to later or they have a series of higher priced products waiting in the sales funnel.

Some product owners pay commissions on the follow-up products which are offered to customers as they go through the buying process in the sales funnel.

These are known as Tiers. An affiliate can be paid commissions on several tiers.

These follow-up offers (tiers) can be One Time Offers (also known as an Offer Bump) which can only be purchased at that precise time, or/and access to a monthly course paying recurring subscriptions.

For example: The Front End product could be a $27 (Clickbank and JVZoo use US dollars) eBook and training, the follow-up One Time Offer (OTO) could be a $47 set of templates or a two hour recording of an in-depth live training and the second follow up offer could be a $97 a month coaching and mentoring club.

As an affiliate of the product, you could be paid 75% or even 100% for any sales you make of the $27 Front End product, 50% for any sales of the One Time Offer product and 30% each month of the $97 monthly coaching and mentoring product.

That 30% is not just for a person signing up for the $97 per month coaching and mentoring product, it is often 30% of the $97 paid each month for as long as the customer who bought through your affiliate link keeps paying.

30% of $97 is $29.10 which is around £21 at time of writing. If the person who purchased access to the $97 per month coaching and mentoring course stayed a member for six months, you would earn £21 each month totalling £174.60.

That is on top of the money you would have earned from the initial sales.

Let’s say that you were paid 75% of the $27 Front End product – $20.25 and that you were paid 50% of the $47 One Time Offer – $23.50, add to that the six payments of $29.10 from the monthly coaching and mentoring product – $174.6, you will have earned $218.35 from that one customer, which at time of writing is roughly £163.

Not everyone who buys the Front End product will buy the One Time Offer and not everyone who bought both the Front End product and the One Time Offer goes onto buy the monthly product.

Let’s say that you promoted the Front End product and made 100 sales. From those 100 sales, 30 people bought the One Time Offer and from that, 3 people bought access to the monthly mentoring and coaching product and paid for six months… your commissions would look like this:

100 x $20.25 = $2,025 – earned at time of sale

30 x $23.50 = $705 – earned at time of sale

3 x $29.10 = $87.30 (x 6 = $523.80) – earned each month

Overall commission total: $3,253.80 (£2,441 at time of writing)

The reason people love to promote products which are listed on Clickbank and JVZoo is that they do not need to spend any time and money creating products of their own.

Nor do they have to spend thousands having professional copywriters and designers create high converting sales pages.

The products which are listed on Clickbank and JVZoo have had a lot of time and money spent on them.

As an affiliate, you can benefit from that without the hassle of having to do it all yourself.
