Affiliate Information

After you've signed up with Clickbank for your FREE affiliate link here's what to do. Your link is called a "hoplink" and it is just a way to keep track of who sends what traffic where. Please email me with any questions on how to do it but you must know how to make your own hoplink.

When you sign up to clickbank here's the link you get
http://xxxxx.jimmysm77.hop.clickbank.net

Note that "jimmysm77" is my vendor name in clickbank. All you need
to do is insert your name where the "xxxx" is. Say your nickname
is "tallguy4" (that's mine so use YOURS), your link would look like

http://tallguy4.jimmysm77.hop.clickbank.net

It's that easy. When someone clicks on the link then they will
taken to www.jimmysmithtraining.com and a small tracking code
will be placed that marks where they visitor came from.

What's important to know is that clickbank uses a 60 day tracking
file so that means that the visitor can come to the site as many
times as they want during 60 days, you still get credit.

Another trick is to use the www.jimmysmithtraining.com display
link. People don't like when they are being sold but research has
shown that they will buy when it comes from a 3rd party not linked
to the product. So just use www.jimmysmithtraining.com as your
display link when you insert your affiliate code.
