How to Promote Clickbank Products Without a Website (STEAL My Methods) [2024]

You can use many effective tactics to promote Clickbank products and generate commissions without having a website. In this post, I’ll highlight some of the top strategies for promoting Clickbank products successfully without your own site.

Can You Really Promote ClickBank Products Without a Website?

Yes, you absolutely can promote ClickBank products successfully without having your own website.

The key is focusing on high-converting offers and leveraging external platforms to generate traffic.

With the right strategy, you can build a profitable ClickBank affiliate business without ever needing to create a site.

Getting Started as a ClickBank Affiliate

Even without a website, promoting ClickBank products has never been easier. Just follow the steps below and you’ll be cashing affiliate commissions in no time at all!

1. Choose a Niche

Before you get started with promoting ClickBank products you will need to know what niche your content will be centered around.

If you already have your niche decided, you can skip ahead and skip to picking out an affiliate offer.

However, if you are just starting out with ClickBank and want to choose a niche based on how much money you can make then keep reading below.

If you are in the health niche, Clickbank has the best offers of any marketplace, but they also have some great offers in the wealth and relationship niches.

2. Find ClickBank Products to Promote

Now that you have chosen a niche, it’s time to choose a couple of ClickBank products to start promoting.

First, you need to signup for a ClickBank affiliate account. It’s free and easy to get started.

Once you have signed up for a ClickBank account, navigate to the Affiliate Marketplace to begin searching for offers to promote.

I’ll start my search by narrowing it down to a specific niche and then filtering the results by Gravity: High-Low.

You may be wondering how the ClickBank Gravity Score metric is calculated.

The ClickBank Gravity Score is a performance metric calculated over a 12-week rolling period used to measure the sales momentum of offers on the ClickBank affiliate marketplace. It calculates the number of unique affiliates that have made a commission on a particular offer during the aforementioned time frame, and weights more recent sales more favorably.

The higher the Gravity Score, the better an offer is currently performing for a wider array of affiliates. It’s not an end-all-be-all metric but it is certainly helpful when choosing a new offer to try out.

The next step is to examine if the offer is good enough to promote (can it make consistent money).

Once I find an offer that looks solid, I’ll use the eye test on its landing page and funnel to determine whether I think it will convert well.

Let’s try this out with the offer below 👇

John Thornhill’s Ambassador Program is one of ClickBank’s top IM (internet marketing) offers. The reason I chose this offer as an example is that the whole premise of the Ambassador Program is to help you set up your own funnel to promote ClickBank products without actually needing your own website.

I know, I know…how meta of me 😂

I actually signed up for John Thornhill’s Ambassador Program to check it out and it’s a pretty damn good affiliate marketing system for total beginners, so I promote it as well.

Sending traffic to this type of polished webinar landing page will more often than not result in the user entering their information.

From that point on, the lead is pushed through a conversion-optimized funnel, and you receive 50% commission every step of the way (including all recurring billing).

In fact, the average commission earned per conversion, including upsells and recurring revenue is over $350 and you have the opportunity to make up to $3493 for just a single sale!

John is so confident that the Ambassador Program will work for almost anyone who is serious about making money online that he even guarantees you will make $2000 in the first 90 days.

Unlike other IM webinars out there, this one is no frills and jumps immediately into explaining step-by-step exactly how the Ambassador Program works. If you are interested in a super simple system to make money promoting some of ClickBank’s top products you should do yourself a favor and watch it.

3. Get Your Affiliate Links

Once you’ve found a ClickBank offer to promote, you need to grab an affiliate link to share with your Twitter audience.

ClickBank links are often referred to as HopLinks. In order to generate a HopLink for a specific offer just follow the steps below:

The first step is to click on the blue Promote button located to the right of the offer description.

Next, enter your ClickBank account nickname, tracking ID (optional), and choose which landing page you want to send your traffic to. Then click the Create HopLink button.

The final step is to click the Copy button.

When you share this HopLink with your Twitter audience, and they make a purchase, you will get credit for the sale!

Be sure to choose how ClickBank pays you…or you will get a paper check sent to your house once you reach your payment threshold.

Best Ways to Make Money on ClickBank Without a Website

You’ve learned how to identify profitable ClickBank products that align with your niche. You also know how to generate affiliate links to promote those products.

Now that you have all the pieces in place – it’s time to put that knowledge into action by kicking off your affiliate marketing promotions.

There are many ways to promote your affiliate links…

But what are the best ways to push targeted traffic to your affiliate links?

Below are 3 methods that I think are the most effective ways to promote ClickBank products outside of having your own website.

1. Use Systeme.io to Build a Lead Magnet Funnel

One of the most effective ways to promote Clickbank products is by building a lead magnet funnel.

For those who aren’t familiar with it, a lead magnet funnel is a powerful way to build an email list and audience to market to.

Systeme.io is my go-to platform for creating lead magnet funnels as an affiliate marketer.

I’ve been using Systeme exclusively for over 2 years and I love how easy their drag-and-drop editor makes it to quickly build high-converting landing pages.

For example, I’ll create an opt-in page where visitors can enter their email address in exchange for a free PDF guide related to my niche. I can customize the content, colors, images, and layout exactly how I want without needing any technical skills.

Once visitors opt-in, they are immediately redirected to the thank you page. Here I provide access to download the guide, along with a call-to-action to check out a related Clickbank offer I’m promoting.

Systeme includes email marketing on its platform, allowing me to instantly capture new leads and trigger automated email follow-up sequences.

Over the next few weeks, these emails will nurture subscribers by sending valuable content from my niche. My affiliate promotions are strategically timed within the sequence.

In just a few short hours, I can create a complete high-converting funnel using Systeme’s visual editor. It has all the features I need to build my email list and promote affiliate offers as an online marketer.

Here’s an overview of how to use Systeme to create a lead magnet funnel for a ClickBank offer:

1. Sign up for a free Systeme.io account
2. Choose the Funnel menu
3. Click the blue Create button in the upper right-hand corner
4. Choose the Build an Audience option
5. Pick one of the included Lead Magnet templates
6. Use their drag-and-drop editor to customize the opt-in page. This is where visitors can enter their email to download your lead magnet (like an eBook, checklist, etc).
7. Customize the Thank You page that visitors will be sent to after opting in. Make sure to also promote your ClickBank product on this page.
8. Add an email autoresponder sequence. This will send subscribers a series of follow-up emails after they opt-in. You can promote your Clickbank offers within these emails as well.
9. Drive traffic to your opt-in page through social media, SEO, paid ads, etc.
10. Track conversions and optimize your funnel over time.

The key benefit of a lead magnet funnel is that it builds you an email subscriber list. This allows you to continually market to these leads and refer them to Clickbank offers.

Systeme.io makes it easy to set this up in a visual editor without any coding.

Give it a try and start growing your list to boost Clickbank commissions!

2. Parasite SEO

With parasite SEO, ClickBank affiliates leverage authoritative sites by contributing guest posts with links to their affiliate offers.

By piggybacking on trusted, high-traffic websites related to your niche, you can dramatically accelerate the visibility of your affiliate content while staying 100% anonymous.

The goal is to strategically insert your affiliate on relevant pages of authority sites. When visitors find these pages through SEO, they will also discover your offer

Identify reputable sites that accept contributor posts and write compelling guest articles seamlessly featuring your chosen affiliate products or services. The high domain authority of the host site will index and rank your content quickly, sending you free affiliate traffic.

For example, as a ClickBank affiliate, you could write an advertorial-style guest post promoting Billionaire Brain Wave (a top ClickBank offer) on a high-DA website, seamlessly including your affiliate link.

This piece would then get quickly indexed on that powerful domain and hopefully rank high in search engines for your target keyword(s), creating a viable traffic source for your affiliate offers.

Although it may seem easy, implementing a successful parasite SEO campaign typically calls for paying for your placement on the host site.

In a “pay-to-play” scenario, you must budget your money well so that the affiliate commissions you earn eventually outweigh the costs you incur.

However, there is also an easy way to promote your affiliate links for free using a Parasite SEO strategy.

By posting to free UGC sites that Google likes to push to the top of its SERPs you can often get affiliate link clicks for the price of FREE.

Some free sites you should post affiliate links to:

• Reddit
• Medium
• Quora
• LinkedIn Pulse

Each of these platforms has different rules and standards regarding how you can promote affiliate content, and more often than not, you will have to resort to some “grey hat” tactics to get your posts/comments approved.

3. Pinterest Affiliate Marketing

Pinterest is often overlooked for ClickBank affiliate promotions but it can be a top-tier traffic source.

There are over 400 million monthly active users on Pinterest, and nearly 2 billion monthly searches.

I’ve been successfully promoting ClickBank affiliate offers on Pinterest for almost 6 years.

Many people who teach Pinterest affiliate marketing will tell you to link your pins directly to your affiliate links.

That works (with a very low conversion rate), but what I would suggest is to instead use Pinterest as a traffic source for the lead magnet funnels I showed you how to create with Systeme.io.

To recap how that works:

1. Drive users to your lead magnet
2. Collect their email address
3. Send them to your ClickBank offer
4. Continue to remarket to them until/if they unsubscribe from your email list.

Another big brain tactic would be to send the Pinterest traffic to advertorial-style landing pages (created with Systeme.io) and link to your ClickBank affiliate offers directly from there.

Pinterest is a complicated beast, so there is a learning curve involved. I use tools like Tailwind and Pin Inspector to do the heavy lifting for me, but you still need a bit of an education on the platform to see any real success.

Thankfully for you; I wrote an entire post about my Pinterest traffic strategy that you can use to get started.

Final Thoughts…

ClickBank affiliate marketing without a website is very doable. In fact, it’s easier for beginners to get started making money online this way.

Don’t let the lack of a site hold you back – get started today leveraging the tactics covered in this post and you’ll be earning commissions in no time.
