I often get this question: how and where should I promote Clickbank products? My answer is to start with what you have.
If you have a blog, a YouTube channel, or a social media account, start there, and when you make some money, you can add other media.
What is Clickbank?
ClickBank is a global e-commerce platform and affiliate marketplace founded in 1998.
The company has more than six million clients worldwide, making it the 87th largest Internet retailer in North America.
What are ways to make money in Clickbank?
There are two ways to make money on Clickbank. The first one is as a vendor or seller; this is when you have your product and you list it on the Clickbank marketplace, and other people( affiliates) can promote your products, and you give them a percentage of the sale ( if they generate one).
Also, you can make money as an affiliate. When you sign up with Clickbank, find a good product, promote it, and generate a sale, you will get a percentage of that sale. This percentage usually ranges from 30% to 90%.
It does not matter which way you choose to make money with Clickbank; the promotion methods I will discuss in this post work either way.

5 Best Places To Promote Clickbank Products
There are many ways you can promote Clickbank products. I tried to promote products everywhere, including flyers, word of mouth, etc; here are the five best places to promote Clickbank products.
On Your Blog.
Blogging is a great option for people who are introverted, camera shy, or love to write.
To start a blog, you need a domain name, which costs $12 a year, and hosting, which costs $11.
For $12, you can start a blog and use it to promote Clickbank products and make extra income.
You can learn how to start a blog here.
How to use a blog to promote Clickbank products.
There are five ways you can use a blog to promote Clickbank products.
Add a banner to the sidebar of your blog.
You can add a banner if you have a sidebar on your blog. In my experience, people click less on these banners. I have one blog with this type of banner, and it is doing okay.
Add a banner inside your post.
Another place you can promote Clickbank products is inside your post; You can add a banner code ( usually provided by vendors). I find this more effective than having a banner on the sidebar.
The image above is the banner inside my fitness blog. It looks so natural that someone will think it is a part of the blog post, but it is a banner promoting a Clickbank product.
Add a link inside the post.
Another way to promote Clickbank products using a blog is to add a link inside your content; in the same post ( image below), you can see the word diet plan is a clickable link.
If someone clicks on this, it will take them to an affiliate product, a diet plan.
Write a review.
Another way to promote Clickbank products with your blog is to write a review article. This is the article you write about a certain Clickbank product; you write the pros and cons and then provide the readers a link to buy a product ( if you like it), or you provide them a link to buy an alternate, better product.
This is very effective because if someone is looking for a review about the product, it means they are about to buy. They need someone to give them a little final push. This can be you.
Build an email list.
You can start collecting emails from people who visit your blog, and when they join your email list, you can redirect them to a Clickbank product.
I explain here how to turn your blog into a list-building machine.
Using Your Youtube Channel.
If you are a person who is comfortable being on camera, or even if you are not, you can create a faceless YouTube channel and start promoting Clickbank products.
To start a YouTube channel, you will need three things.
Video footage.
You can record yourself using a phone or a camera. If you do not, you can get footage online and put it together to produce a good video.
A voiceover.
Also, you have two options here: recording your voice while recording a video. I recommend getting a good microphone for this, or you can use AI to generate audio. I use Amazon Polly, which is free.
A video editing software.
This is the software you use to edit videos. If you speak clearly, the editing will be easier. You just cut scenes you do not want and ensure good audio levels.
You will probably need to assemble a few clips if you get your video footage online on sites like pexels.com. The video editing software can help with that.
I use Camtasia Studio to edit my video; you can get one here.
How to use a YouTube channel to promote Clickbank products.
I promote Clickbank products using my YouTube channel in two ways.
Mention the product in each video.
For example, If I want to promote a fitness product, I found on Clickbank. I will create a video on any fitness-related topic, such as how to get fit, even if you’re busy.
I will include a simple call to action at the end of the video. If you want to learn more about how to get fit, Click the pinned comment below this video.
Then I will go back to the video description, I will add a simple comment and a link to a Clickbank product.
Click a review video.
You can create a video reviewing a product, your experience with the product, your results, and your opinion; again, at the end of the video, you can ask the viewers to click the link on the description to check out the product.
Tip: Make sure the first thing on your description is a call to action with a link to the Clickbank product.
Using Your Social Media Accounts.
If you have social media accounts like X, Pinterest, Instagram, or Facebook, you can use them to promote Clickbank products.
How to promote Clickbank products using social media.
Promoting Clickbank products on social media is not as straightforward as in a blog or YouTube channel.
Here are the steps I follow to promote Clickbank products on social media.
Pick the right social media platform.
Most people get lost; they think all social media are the same, but they are not.
Pick the social media depending on your natural ability. If you like to write, you can pick Twitter (X) or Facebook.
Pick TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, or YouTube shorts if you like creating short videos.
If you like creating graphics or taking pictures, you will be better with Pinterest or Instagram.
After picking the social media, create an account if you do not have one.
Create a landing page.
Almost all social media platforms do not allow you to post Clickbank links on their platforms.
You will have to create landing pages so people can go first to the landing page and then to the Clickbank product.
The good news is that you can do this for free using Systeme.io, a premium free landing page builder.
You can create a free system.io account here.
If you promote weight loss products, you can download a done-for-you landing page here.
If you promote a make-money online product, you can download a landing page here.
Add your landing page link to your social media page.
Now you have a landing page, add the link to your page, and include a summary of what you do and a simple call to action.
Grow your account.
Now you have everything in place, and you need to start posting content into your account to figure out which content people like the most, go to a larger account in your niche, find out which content gets more interaction, and post similar content.
Another thing you can do is to start following people who follow those bigger accounts in your niche.
Since we know they like this type of content, they will probably like our page, too.
This is what you can do to grow your social media account.
Post at least three times a day: Since this is a short form of content, you should be able to post thrice daily minimum.
Participate in the community: Share other people’s content if it is related to your topic, comment on their page, and genuinely help out people.
Follow active people: Follow people active in your niche, most of whom will follow you back; this is how you grow your account.
Ask questions: Questions will help to increase engagement on your social media page.
Use DM: Direct messages can be great ways to increase sales in social media; use them to your advantage, do not spam people, and make sure your messages offer value first to the person who will read them.
Using Paid Ads.
All social media have an option where you can pay, and your message can be shown to users; this is the fastest and most scalable way to promote Clickbank products.
How to promote Clickbank products using paid ads.
To promote Clickbank products using paid ads, please do the following.
Pick ad platforms.
All major search engines and social media will offer you an option to promote your products to their users.
I recommend picking one and learning it first. If you succeed, then you can try a different one.
If you are starting, I recommend starting with Facebook.
Create a landing page.
Even if you pay them, they will not let you send visitors directly to a Clickbank link; you will need to send the visitors to your landing page, and then you can send them to a Clickbank product.
The good news is that you can do this for free using Systeme.io, a premium free landing page builder.
Create an Ad.
The next step is creating an ad promoting your landing page, including an image and short text about your offer.
You can see an example of Facebook ads below.
Set a budget and turn on the ads.
After you create the ad, you will need to set up a budget; if you are new and testing out, you can start small; between $5 and $20 per day is enough; if your ad is making you a profit, you can increase the budget.
Then, you must submit the ad for approval ( this applies to all paid ads).
I recommend creating at least three ads, then letting them run for three days, figuring out which ones are getting you more clicks and sales, increasing the budget for the winners, and turning off ads that are not performing.
Note: If you stay until the end, you will get a surprise bonus, including images you can use for your ads.
Using Email Marketing.
All four methods we discussed involve sending your prospects directly to the Clickbank product without capturing their email addresses first.
This is good, and you can make many sales this way, but if you can change one thing in those methods, you can potentially 10X your income. That thing is adding a lead capture page before people see the Clickbank product.
How to promote Clickbank products using email marketing.
Email marketing is so powerful that companies are estimated to make $42 for each $1 invested in email marketing, which is an insane return on investment (ROI).
Here are the steps to promote Clickbank products using email marketing.
Create a giveaway.
You need to create a simple giveaway related to the Clickbank product you are promoting. If you are promoting a fitness product, your giveaway should be about fitness.
A giveaway can be anything from an audio, a video, a discount code, or anything that will add value to the recipient.
Create a lead capture page.
You can create a simple lead capture page, as the name suggests; this page will capture the name and email of your prospect, and in exchange, they will get your giveaway.
You can use System.io to create a lead capture page.
Send them to a Clickbank offer.
After they Click get instant access, two things will happen: one, they will redirected to another page, which can be directed to your Clickbank product.
Second, they will be added to your autoresponder ( system.io has a built-in autoresponder). You can email them to welcome them and a link to download a giveaway.
Send them regular emails.
After they receive your first email, you can keep sending them more emails; these emails can be stories, product recommendations, etc.
I usually send one email per week, but you can decide to send emails every day or every other day; please remember to include the links to the Clickbank products to make some commissions.
Here, I go in deeper on how to start email marketing for beginners.
