1. 1

   Get your ClickBank ID2 minutes

   ClickBank pays your commissions, so you need a free ClickBank affiliate account. Your account nickname is your ClickBank ID (it is also called your affiliate ID), and it must be 5 to 10 letters or numbers.

   Already have one? Go straight to step 2.

   Make your hoplink1 minute

   Type your ClickBank ID into the hoplink maker. Add a tracking ID too if you want to see which post or email made each sale (for example fb_group or email1). Your link is saved in this browser, so every email, post and ad in this area now shows your own link instead of YOURIDHERE.

   Pick the page your link opens2 minutes

   One product, four ways in. Match the page to how warm your reader is. These four are the ones we recommend, so use them rather than the other options on the links page.

   Link type	What opens	Best for
   45-minute sales video type=video	Dr. Steve G. Jones's 45-minute sales video. He tells how he climbed out of $80,000 of credit-card debt and explains the six-step method.	Warm readers who already trust you: your email list, your blog readers and YouTube viewers who are used to watching longer videos.
   Written sales letter type=6steps	The same offer as a written sales letter that people can read at their own pace.	People who prefer reading to watching, readers on a phone at work, and visitors who arrive from an article or review.
   60-second quiz type=quiz	A 60-second quiz, "Do you have a millionaire's brain?", with a free personalised assessment and a free video at the end.	Cold traffic and social media. A quiz is an easy first click for people who have never heard of Steve.
   Free eBook page type=optin	A free eBook, "The Skill of Money Magnetism", that readers get by entering their email.	Audiences who like to start with something free: Pinterest, social posts and newsletters where a gift fits better than a sales pitch.

   Choose your first promotion3 minutes

   Start where you already have attention. One good send to people who know you beats ten posts to strangers.

   You have an email list

   Send the first story email from the emails page with your video link. Two days later, send the second email to anyone who did not click.

   Open the emails

   You post on social media

   Pick a quiz post from the social page. A question people want to answer about themselves gets more clicks than a product pitch.

   Open the social posts

   You run a blog or website

   Publish a review or article from the articles page, rewrite it in your own words and link to the written sales letter.

   Open the articles

   You buy traffic

   Send ads to your own bridge page, never straight to your hoplink. Start with the landing pages, then pick ad copy that fits your platform.

   Open the landing pages

   You want your own angle

   The hooks page gives you 14 ways into this product, each with opening lines and the link type that suits it.

   Open hooks and angles

   You want to see the product first

   Read the course review to see exactly what buyers get before you write about it.

   Add the disclosure line30 seconds

   Put this line in every email, post, article and video description that carries your link. Our rules and ClickBank's both ask for it, and readers trust you more for it.

   I may earn a commission if you buy through my link, at no extra cost to you.

   Read the do and don't list1 minute

   Breaking these can cost you your commissions, so read them once before you post. The full rules are on the rules page.

   Do

   • Tell readers you may earn a commission, using the line above.
   • Describe the product as it is: a $47 money-mindset program with a manual, audio and self-hypnosis tracks, backed by a 60-day guarantee.
   • Send paid traffic to your own website or bridge page first.
   • Rewrite the swipes in your own voice so your readers hear you, not a template.
   • Email Andrew for a website review before you run Google or Bing ads.
   • Use tracking IDs so you know which posts and emails bring sales.

   Don't

   • Promise income, results or a set amount of money.
   • Bid on brand keywords such as "Total Money Magnetism", or use the brand name in search ad copy.
   • Point ads straight at a Total Money Magnetism page or at your hoplink.
   • Use words like "scam" or "fraud" in your ads or copy.
   • Email people who did not ask to hear from you.
   • Present yourself as the owner or creator of Total Money Magnetism.
   • Invent deadlines, limited places or price rises that are not real.
   • Give investment or financial advice in your promotions.
