So, You Want to Start an Aliate Program?
All savvy businesses are constantly searching for that next customer acquisition channel
that will allow you to find and convert new customers profitably. For some, the aliate
marketing channel is exactly what they are looking for.
“Aliate Program” - A paid media channel where you pay commissions to companies and
individuals with their own audience or trac source.
This marketing channel can be explosive. Starting an aliate program can be one of
the best ways to quickly scale new customer acquisition and increase daily sales volume.
We have seen companies 5-10x their business in a matter of months with a proper aliate
channel launch.
Let’s pause and address something before we continue...
After being in the aliate marketing industry for over 20 years, ClickBank has seen and
heard a lot. There are some common misconceptions about the aliate marketing channel
that need to be addressed before continuing. Here are some things you need to know:
• It is NOT multi-level marketing.
• It is NOT influencer marketing.
• It is NOT a “get rich quick scheme.”
• And, it is NOT easy to get right.
Y
ou might be thinking, “Okay, that’s great, but is it the right move for my business?”
That all depends on if your offer is affiliate-ready. This guide will help you understand if
you are ready and exactly what you need to do to get there, if not.
Today, aliate marketing programs are a dime-a-dozen. They’ve become a default channel
much like any other token channels that are ubiquitous amongst all marketing teams.
They come in all shapes and sizes. Most of the time, these programs are not moving the
needle for the business. This is because aliate programs are often an after-thought and
the time and resources required to build a successful program are not invested up front.
In this guide, we’ll outline exactly what you need to focus on in order to start a scalable
aliate program for your business. We’ll outline the main dierences that produce the
results only a fraction of all businesses ever reach.
Ready to learn exactly what separates the good from the great aliate programs and
how you can find success of your own?
The secret is to focus on building an aliate marketing program that SCALES.

Build an Oer Worthy
of a Program
Who is the ideal candidate for starting an aliate program?
The first and most critical step is the strategic planning and building of an oer.
What do we mean by “an oer?”
An oer is not your homepage. An oer is not an ecommerce store featuring all of your
products. Nor is it a landing page.
An oer is a very specific solution, to a very specific problem, that helps a lot of people.
Your oer must address the main pain point your target customer is experiencing,
explain how your product solves it, and oer a direct call to action (CTA) to make a
purchase decision at that moment.
We highly suggest starting with a singular oer as you begin building your program.
We see far too many programs fail out the gate because they miss this step. Developing
a solid oer takes extreme focus and precise iteration to get right. Focus on just one.
You’ll thank us later.
How to Build an Epic Oer
Research and Identify a Primary Pain Point
Conducting preliminary research is the fi
rst step to identifying the needs and pain points
of your potential customers. The more you know about the niche you plan to enter, the
more you can tailor your oer to satisfy buyers, create trust, and build a brand reputation
in your industry.
PERFORM COMPETITIVE RESEARCH
We encourage our clients to consider what their competitors are doing. Understanding
what the competition is doing is a good place to start. It can help you avoid certain pitfalls
and get a step in the right direction. Checkout what your competitors are doing with
affiliates. Are they doing well? Are their offers compelling? Avoid using this research to
rip and repeat what your competitors are oering. Use the information you find to orient
yourself in your niche. Note what you like, what you don’t like, and go forward in your
own direction.
Pay special attention to competitors who are currently running programs that are seven
figure programs. Focus on the highest selling aliate oers in your niche. Keep an eye out
for referral programs masquerading as aliate programs as well.
The single, most
critical element
that aliate
program success
hinges on is
the oer.
An oer is a very
specific solution,
to a very
specific problem,
that helps a
lot of people.

SURVEY YOUR AUDIENCE
In the startup world, “product market fit” is the buzzword. In our world, it’s all about
“aliate oer fit.” To attain this critical fit, you must start by listening to your market. In this
case, listen to aliates and what they would be interested in promoting to their niche.
There are many ways you can approach this, but here are a few resources to help you
get started:
• How to Survey Your Audience
• Market Research Survey Ideas
• Finding the Right Pain Point
• Discovering Pain Points
Craft Your Story and Build a Sales Page
Crafting your story and building a sales page may seem simple, but it is dicult to get
right. Successful stories and sales pages eectively sell a product with an engaging
narrative. The goal is to reach a high conversion rate from visitor to purchase.
CRAFT YOUR STORY
Your goal is to craft and tell a compelling story about your product. You must illuminate
your product as a solution by showing through your story how it solves an identified pain
point. After witnessing thousands of product launches on the ClickBank platform, we
can confidently tell you:
stories sell
. Spend the resources required to craft the right story.
This often requires hiring a professional copywriter. Specifically, we suggest hiring a
copywriter with direct response and sales copy experience. This is a highly developed
skill and it’s worth every penny.
If you’d like to take a swing at it, here are some useful resources:

BUILD A SALES PAGE
A sales page is a specific type of landing page with one very specific goal — get the
visitor to make a purchase. A sales page is one page that can vary in length. This is where
your story will live.
Here are a few basic traits of the anatomy of successful sales pages to get you headed
in the right direction:
• A single page format.
Limiting your story to a single page is a reliable method to increasing conversions.
Telling the complete story, only highlighting the most important information, and
only asking the user to do one thing is why keeping this to one page is important.
• Fast page load speed.
Page load speed ensures that your content gets in front of potential customers
quickly.
• Plenty of white space.
White space on a page isn’t “wasted real estate.” White space helps viewers navigate
the information and eciently work through the story and flow of the content.
How to Take Your Business to the Next Level with an Aliate Program

• Most important info “above the fold.”
“Above the fold” means the area on the screen before the viewer has to scroll.
It is recommended that all important and salient information about your oer is
presented on the first and initial screen that the viewers see.
• Features a story.
The story about your product must be easy to read, relatable, simple to follow,
and compelling.
• Clear, simple, and persuasive copy.
Stay away from run on sentences and superfluous language. Readers like straight
forward messaging that is engaging.
• Low on design and high on function.
Choose every element on the page carefully. Everything on the page is there only
if it is necessary to persuade the visitor to purchase. This page does not have to be
super “brand heavy.” Your content should be the star of the show. Don’t distract the
user from your copy.
• Consistent, immediate calls to action.
Your sales page should feature high contrast buttons and text links that use
consistent language to encourage the viewer to the same action: purchase now.
• Utilize scarcity tactics.
Scarcity tactics are often used to evoke a sense of urgency in the buyer. This can be
things like limited quantity or time.
• Social proof.
Social proof is an important part of any eective sales page. Utilize testimonials,
reviews, and case studies. Make sure that you follow FTC guidelines though.

Optimize Your Conversion Rate
The conversion rate of your oer is the verification that you’ve identified the right problem;
that you’re telling the right story; and that your sales page is performing as it should. This
metric has a deep and widespread impact on your entire aliate program. Aliates will be
directing their valuable trac to your oer. If your oer does not convert that trac for
them, they don’t get paid. If they don’t get paid, they will simply find a dierent oer that
does convert.
• Split Testing
Spend the time to test, re-test, and test some more until your sales page performs
at the best level possible. Split testing (or A/B testing) is absolutely essential. It
is an eective way to systematically improve your conversion rates using data.
There are many things you can test and small tweaks can often make a big impact
on conversion.

Build an “Oer Flow”
This step is all about increasing your average order volume (AOV). This will increase
your margins which will give you more flexibility for aliate commission payout. More
commission payout will make your oer more attractive for aliates to promote.
Building an oer flow is about building the experience your customers have after their
initial purchase decision. Once a customer clicks on your purchase CTA from your sales
page, there are a variety of tactics you can use to increase this initial order amount.
It’s important to note that a good AOV is relative to the number of conversions your
oer is yielding. You might have a great AOV but a small number of transactions. This
won’t lead to a successful program. You need to strike your balance between AOV and
conversion volume.
UTILIZE TRIED AND TRUE OFFER FLOW TACTICS
Here are some of the most common tactics for increasing AOV:
• Order Bumps
An order bump exists on the order form and occurs before a purchase is complete.
• Upsells
An upsell flow kicks o after a customer has completed a purchase.
• Minimum Cart Value/Minimum Price Discounts
This is when you set a minimum price your customer’s cart must reach in order to
unlock a discount or oer.
• Time Limit on Oer
Set a limited time duration associated with an oer.
• Package Deals
Pair your oer with a complimentary product and discount.
• Incentivize Purchase
Oer free gifts, cashback rewards, credits, bonus products etc. to incentivize
buyers to commit.
Examples & Links:
• Read more about how oer bumps and upsells work on ClickBank.
Tip the Economy of Scale in Your Favor
The outcome of building an epic oer means that the economy of scale will begin to work
in your favor. All of these factors begin to build on each other and the output is profit with
higher margins. The higher your profit and margins, the more you can put back into scaling
and putting more volume through it. Here’s an example:
Here’s an example:
• Dave sells a health supplement product for $40.
• The cost of goods for the product is $10.
• After his oer bump and upsell flow the average order volume is $60.
• He pays 40% commissions to his aliates.
• After taxes, fees, aliate payout, and cost of goods, Dave earns about $18 per
product sold. This means he could take $10 of pure profit and invest another
$8 to increase commissions, incentivize aliates, or invest in trac of his own.
• Furthermore, Dave knows that once he gets that initial order from a customer he

8
can ascend that customer to increase their lifetime value to over $100. This means
he could further increase his aliate commissions to gain even more new customers
through this program.
How much should you pay your aliates in commission?
According to Thomas McMahon, senior business development manager at ClickBank,
sellers need to be competitive with their commissions in comparison to their competitors
but should stay within what they can aord based on profit margins. The better your
margins, the better you should make your commission rates to further incentivize
your oer.
For a more indepth view into how to pay your aliates, check out Thomas’s video on
how much commission you should pay your aliates.
• What goes into calculating the right commission rate?
Product price, commission percentages, joint venture, cost of goods, fulfillment
and shipping, net revenue per sale — it all has to be factored in to set your
commission rate for your affiliate program at just the right spot. The goal is to
find that sweet spot where you’re acquiring the max amount of new customers
through affiliates motivated by a high commission while still maintaining a good
net profit.
• C ommission Tiers We’ve Seen Work at ClickBank:
Digital offers
- 75% to 100% commission range
Physical offers - 35% to 60% commission range
High ticket offers (above $100) - 30% to 60% commission range
• C ommission Calculator Tool
We also have this handy-dandy Commission Calculator Google Sheet you can
use to model your economy of scale.
Without a killer product that converts trac at a profit to your business, you won’t be
able to have the engine that’s critical to move your aliate program car down the road.
Once your oer is solid, it’s time to move to the next phase, increasing your customer
lifetime value.

Increase Your Customer
Lifetime Value
Customer lifetime value is the average total revenue you earn from a customer over their
entire lifecycle with your brand. This di
ers from the initial order amount number we talked
about earlier in this guide. This section will cover why this metric matters to your aliate
program and how to increase it.
The goal of building a great oer is to acquire new customers for your business. The
secret sauce of a scalable oer and aliate program is related to what you do after you
have acquired that new customer.
The majority of our biggest clients are leveraging aliate programs for customer
acquisition, not for new profit. They are giving the lion’s share away and monetizing
their customers with cross-sells, ascension products, or third party offers where they
act as the aliate themselves.
Your aliate program will be acquiring an audience, a captive individual with a willingness
to buy. What you do with this user is what dictates your profit and your long term success.
A prime example is Coca Cola. Coke spends millions to get you to take the first sip. That’s
when they begin making money o of you. You will be paying aliates to help you get a
customer to take that first sip. Then, it’s your job to begin making money o that customer.
Let’s break down the most common tactics for increasing customer lifetime value.
Cross-sells
This tactic is simple. Instead of just selling a customer one of your products, cross-sell
them multiple related products.
There are two main types of cross-selling. The first is to form partnerships with other
businesses. This can be a formal or informal partnership with a business that oers a
complimentary product to yours. These arrangements can work on many dierent levels
and dimensions. But the core value is that you share a similar audience and you can
refer each other business in exchange for payment of some form. This works especially
well when the two products sold together are more valuable than the two products on
their own.
The second type of cross-sell is to your existing customers. This is simply oering a
related product you have to your existing customers. For example, you may find that
when you initially sell them a web design course, those customers often purchase your
copywriting course as well. Look for naturally occurring product clusters and purchase
behavior and turn these into strategic cross-sell journeys in order to increase the lifetime
value of your customers.

Ascension Products
Ascension products are products that are your next-step for a customer during their
journey
. You will use your initial purchase as a trip-wire which begins their journey to
make this next purchase. These ascension products are purchases that multiply your
customers’ LTV for your business.
Ascension products often look like the following:
MEMBERSHIPS/SUBSCRIPTIONS.
These are recurring purchases that automatically occur in a given time period.
Monthly subscriptions are the most common. These can create some of the highest
LTV customers when customers are retained month after month.
HIGH TICKET PRODUCTS.
These are products that have a higher purchase price and take place once the customer
has been able to get to know you and your brand. You must ascend your customers to
a higher level of trust in order to convert them on these oers.
Retention
This is an often overlooked tactic for increasing lifetime value (LTV). The relationship
should go beyond the first date. The first purchase should be the beginning of a great
experience with your product. Investing in support and customer service will drastically
impact your ability to re-convert customers down the road and/or retain your
memberships and subscriptions. The common saying "it’s cheaper to keep a customer than
acquire a new one" is common because it’s true. Reduce your customer churn. Focus on
the quality of your product. Retain your customers. Your LTV will rise.
Act as Aliate for Third Party Oers
After you acquire all of these new customers through your aliate program and increase
their LTV through retention, there is one other tactic to consider: monetizing your email
list. As you build lists of customers you know are interested in your niche, consider acting
as an aliate yourself to promote another related product in your niche. The revenue you
make as an aliate will go straight to your bottom line because you’re simply leveraging
an audience you already own. Send a well-crafted email out and watch the aliate revenue
come in. No media buying. Just hit send.
After you work towards increasing your customer lifetime value, it’s time to consider the
next phase: finding the right people to help you run your affiliate program.

Find the Right People to
Run Your Aliate Program
Alright, you have an awesome oer and you have a plan to hit your customer lifetime
value goals. Now, how do you pull it o? This is where finding the right people to run your
aliate program is critical.
You may have the right people currently working for you. If that’s the case, congratulations!
Finding a good team is hard. Or, it may just be you, wearing all the hats for a while. Or,
it may be time to seek out, recruit, and invest in talent for your business. Here are a few
roles you may want to fill:
CEO
This position gives the team leash and resources to run the program right. They cast
vision and guide the overall direction of the program as it relates to the core business.
When you’re a solopreneur, you fill this role.
AFFILIATE MANAGER
Our strongest recommended position you create and fill is the aliate manager role.
This role is a B2B (business to business) development role that will be recruiting aliates
for your program. This person should be outgoing, sales-minded, a people person, and a
straight up hustler. The success of aliate programs often hinge on this person’s ability
to acquire the right aliates to promote their oer.
COPYWRITER
Our second strongest recommendation is to invest in a copywriter. If you don’t hire a full
time copywriter, at least bring one on as a contractor. Seek out the best you can aord with
long form and sales copy experience. This individual will play a key role in developing your
oer, pages, swipes, emails, ads, and much more. If hiring a copywriter is not possible for
your business, there are a ton of resources and training available online, but this is a very
highly developed and specific skill that takes a serious investment.
LIST MANAGER
This individual manages your email lists and sends. They are detail oriented, data driven,
and all about the numbers. It helps when they have writing and sales skills as well, in case
they need to create some ad hoc emails.
DEV/TECH
Aliate programs will all have technical tasks that require completion. It’s an unavoidable
fact. It’s important to have someone on your team to take care of needs related to
integrations, IT, development, and anything related to technology.
WEB DESIGNER
We encourage you to find a web designer who is conversion focused and has conversion
rate optimization experience. Don’t hire someone who just focuses on aesthetics. Ideally
they will have experience with sales page building and using tools like Clickfunnels or
similar experience.
How to Take Your Business to the Next Level with an Aliate Program
12
PROJECT MANAGERS
Sometimes this is the CEO. Sometimes the aliate manager wears this hat, too. In an ideal
world, you’ll have a dedicated body for this. This individual should be detail oriented and
task oriented to ensure things come together at the right time. They herd the cats and make
sure things get done.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Customer support becomes pretty important when you start scaling. Without a doubt,
customers will experience issues. The customer support team member will take the crap
and turn it into lemonade for your business. This will become a recruiting tool for acquiring
aliates. If they know you have dedicated support it will give them even more peace-of-
mind when promoting the oer.
Speaking of recruiting aliates… that’s what we’re going to look at next.
How to Take Your Business to the Next Level with an Aliate Program
13
Recruit and
Test Aliates
Let’s be clear — this is not a “build it and they will come” situation. Having a great oer
is only the prerequisite you must have to begin promoting the oer to aliates and
recruiting aliates to partner with your brand.
This takes work. Lots of work. Hustle to be more specific. This is why we strongly
recommend hiring a full time aliate manager to take on this challenge.
You need an individual to own this area within your organization.
Key roles for this individual will be finding aliates, recruiting aliates, pitching oers,
and identifying and joining platforms that help (like ClickBank).
How to Find Aliates for Your Program
Here are a few methods for finding aliates to promote your program. It’s important to
convey the attractiveness of your oer, the themes of your story and brand, and, essentially,
what’s in it for them.
DEVELOP YOUR PITCH
You will need to be able to clearly articulate why your oer will convert, what kind of
customer will convert, and how much aliates will make per conversion. This is all about
convincing aliates to partner with you. Oftentimes sellers will create pages to refer
interested aliates to in order to give them this pitch and what they need to be successful.
Thomas McMahon, Senior Business Development Manager here at ClickBank, covers the
top 3 ways to attract aliates to help promote your products in this video.
NETWORK YOURSELF OR HIRE AFFILIATE MANAGER TO NETWORK
Whether you decide to fill the role, or you hire someone to do it for you, get out there
and network. Go to events like Trac and Conversion. Cut deals on the fly. Network face
to face. This legwork will pay huge dividends.
COLD OUTREACH
Engage online. Join and interact on Facebook groups and other online communities.
Use your pitch. Put your sales pants on and hammer the pavement.
WORK WITH AFFILIATE NETWORKS
One of the awesome benefits of working with a solution like ClickBank is our aliate
marketplace. This can add a lot of fuel to the fire here. But don’t rely on this network for
your initial traction. Get the ball rolling. Start working with aliates and then compare
those relationships to what exists on the network you work with.
How to Take Your Business to the Next Level with an Aliate Program
14
CONSIDER ALL THE ANGLES
Keep these things in mind when recruiting and testing aliates:
• Who has the trac and how can you connect with them?
• Who’s the audience and where are the aliates who have access to them?
• Know your numbers and know what these aliates need.
How do these aliates like to get paid and how much?
• Are there places I’m not looking that I could explore?
Look at aliate networks, Facebook groups, etc.
• Tap your network.
• Don’t start with top aliates. Test and optimize first. You often get just one shot.
Don’t fire this bullet too early. Start midsize and work your way up to top aliates.
• Be transparent. Tell them if this is a new oer. Set the right expectations.
• Create incentive for them to try. EPC guarantees, or other incentives.
• Don’t forget to ask for testimonials as you go.
Once you start building an affiliate base, it’s time to consider how you will scale
your affiliate program. We cover that in the next section.

Scale and Manage
Alright, you’ve got the oer, you’re ascending your customers to a healthy lifetime value,
and you’re recruiting a
liates. Congrats! You have an aliate program.
Now, how do you eectively manage and scale it?
That’s exactly what we’ll cover in this final section.
Once you have recruited affiliates and they are transacting orders for your offer, the next
challenge is managing and scaling them. Scaling a program can be incredibly difficult
without the right tools and processes in place.
ClickBank has been empowering entrepreneurs for over 20 years, in 200 countries with
over $4 billion in commissions paid. You could say we know a thing or two about scaling
aliate programs. ClickBank was designed to help sellers like you build, market, and scale
your oer. We are the only global marketplace that enables sales growth without growing
the work, so you can focus on scaling this new aliate program of yours.
How does ClickBank enable unlimited scale? Well, we take care of the work that can hold
you back from growth. For example, payment processing, fraud protection, and taxes —
to name a few. On top of that, our aliate marketplace helps connect you with aliates
who are eager to promote your product. Learn more about selling your oer on ClickBank
and all the features that help you scale here.
Without further ado, here are ClickBank’s hottest tips to help you scale your business and
become the next aliate program success story.
OPTIMIZE YOUR AFFILIATE RECRUITMENT TACTICS
As you continue to grow, you will discover certain channels and sources where your
best aliates come from. Watch the performance of your aliates. Look for rockstars and
ask yourself where they came from and how you can find others like them. We’ve noticed
that success breeds success when it comes to aliate momentum. Once you have some
aliates working well with your oer, this tends to build on itself and other aliates who
promote similar oers will naturally find your oer and be attracted to it.
PAY YOUR AFFILIATES ON TIME, EVERY TIME
One of the most important affiliate satisfaction levers you can pull is the payment lever.
Affiliates require consistent payment. On-time payment is where ClickBank shines.
ClickBank helps you automate aliate payments and make it seamless for you and your
business. Make sure your aliate program pays your aliates on time, every time.
Paying your aliates on time is something that can become incredibly challenging as
your aliate program scales. If you don’t have the right process and solution in place,
it’ll blow up on you and cause massive damage to your program.
How to Take Your Business to the Next Level with an Aliate Program
16
Also make sure you pay attention to how your a
liates prefer to be paid. There are many
dierent models out there; CPM, CPA, revenue share, etc. You must balance what’s best
for your business with what your aliates want. There are definitely advantages from your
standpoint as a seller to certain models over others. Revenue share, for example, protects
you as a seller since you only pay your aliate when they make an actual sale.
FIND A TAX AND REMITTANCE SOLUTION
As you begin issuing hundreds and thousands of affiliate commission checks, you’ll soon
discover how big of a headache things like 1099s, W9s, and tax remittance per state and
international laws can become. Finding a partner like ClickBank to help you track, manage,
and pay all of this can be a real lifesaver. This is another huge hurdle that often blocks a
business from scaling their program to its full potential.
SELL YOUR PRODUCT IN AN AFFILIATE MARKETPLACE
Placing your product in a marketplace like ClickBank where there are over 100k aliates
and product owners already can greatly increase the exposure of your program. ClickBank
also helps by providing JV contracts (joint-venture contracts) for visibility enhancements.
AVOID LEGAL COMPLIANCE ISSUES
ClickBank has an entire department dedicated to helping you with FTC and FDA compliance.
KEEP A PULSE ON PERFORMANCE WITH REPORTING
Make sure you’re tracking your key performance metrics for your offer and affiliate
performance. ClickBank will help you track clicks, order form impressions, and sales by
default. Learn more about ClickBank reporting here. This will help you identify potential
issues as well as top performing affiliates to build and strengthen relationships with.
PAY ATTENTION TO QUALITY
Chargebacks and refunds can quickly stunt the growth of your program. If you start
getting penalties because of high chargebacks it can have a huge impact on your bottom
line. ClickBank has fraud prevention software built-in to protect your business from rogue
affiliate sign-ups etc. Pay close attention to the traffic quality from your affiliates. Manage
the right affiliates. Give good affiliates more and further incentivize them. You can also
protect your brand by blacklisting affiliates that have shown negative signals. Establish a
solid affiliate policy that defines how you will stop bad things from happening when they
eventually arise.
DON’T LET PROCESSING CAPS HAMSTRING YOUR GROWTH
When your daily sales volume takes off because of your program, processing caps can
quickly put an end to what would have been a banner day for your business and turn it
into a nightmare. ClickBank has no processing caps or mid-balancing you have to worry
about. You don’t need approval by Visa, Mastercard, Amex, or Discover.
CENTRALIZE RESOURCES FOR AFFILIATES AND CREATE SELF-SERVICE PLATFORM
When you host your offer on a marketplace like ClickBank, you’ll love how it empowers
your affiliates to self-service their needs and promote your offer with minimal hand holding
and limitless scale. If you want to control every facet along the way, we’d recommend you
go the self-hosted route. This is much more difficult to scale and requires a lot more effort
on your end.
FORM STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS
Whether it’s your ClickBank account manager making an introduction on your behalf, or
your own personal networking at a tradeshow, never stop building connections. Your next
handshake could easily become your next biggest deal. ClickBank clients enjoy tapping
into our deep rolodex of some of the industry’s biggest names. Connect. Collaborate.
Learn.
WORK WITH TOOLS THAT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS
As you build out your offer and begin optimizing your affiliate program, you’ll quickly
discover the need for integrations. These integrations are an important piece of the puzzle
