Navigating Tariffs: Why Supplement Sellers Can Count on ClickBank And What to Do Next https://www.clickbank.com/blog/navigating-tariffs/ Tue, 22 Apr 2025 15:25:44 +0000 https://www.clickbank.com/?p=45099 You’ve probably noticed huge tariff headlines making the rounds lately, particularly the elevated tariffs on China. The updates are coming fast and furious, and it’s hard to know what will happen next.

Of course, ClickBank supports a lot of dietary supplement sellers, and you may be among them. If you haven’t felt a pinch yet with your margins or cost of goods sold (COGs), you’re probably at least bracing for a possible impact from tariffs. 

No one can predict with 100% certainty what’s going to happen, even the seasoned entrepreneurs and product owners on ClickBank – but many are watching for rising raw material costs, increased manufacturing expenses, or general supply chain disruption.

So, in this quick update, we want to put your mind at ease and share a few words of wisdom to help you weather whatever’s ahead. 

1) Resilience Is in Our DNA

ClickBank is one of the only constants in a constantly-changing industry.

For more than 25 years, ClickBank has supported sellers in not just economic booms, but challenging times as well – most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve persevered through supply chain headaches, tightening consumer spending, and all kinds of market ups and downs.

In all of that time, our marketplace has continued to thrive – and so have the sellers who call ClickBank home.

We’re proud of that resilience, but even more than that, we’re committed to being a true partner for our vendors. That means offering tools, insights, and support that’ll help you handle whatever may come at you – and emerge stronger on the other side.

2) The CPA Commission Calculator 

Let’s be real: Tariff hikes and rising COGs can squeeze your margins quickly. If you’re selling physical products like supplements, you’re likely already thinking about making changes or coming up with contingency plans for your pricing and logistics.

Well, that’s why we wanted to remind you about ClickBank’s CPA Commission Calculator.

Many of our top sellers offer cost-per-action (CPA) commissions to their affiliates, which means knowing exactly how much you can afford to pay per sale without putting your profit margins at risk. 

The CPA Calculator helps you do just that by factoring in not just your COGs, but also your refund rates and historical performance to generate the optimal CPA rate for your product (both overall and per affiliate).

COGs calculator

Here’s what you should know about the ClickBank CPA Calculator:

  • You must have an established ClickBank account to use the calculator, as it pulls from your historic performance data to recommend an optimal CPA rate.
  • If you’re selling a physical product, make sure to include your COGs when setting up your product. Without this info, the calculator can’t show you accurate profitability metrics.
  • CPA affiliates aren’t debited for refunds or chargebacks – so your account absorbs those costs. The calculator helps you plan for that.
  • You must maintain a positive account balance to offer CPA commissions. If your account dips below zero, your CPA setup reverts to standard revenue share.

So, what’s the key takeaway? 

ClickBank’s CPA Calculator is a crucial tool to keep you profitable when working with affiliates – even as your costs fluctuate. It’s designed to keep you informed and protect your bottom line while continuing to attract high-quality affiliate traffic and sales.

Want to learn more? Check out our article on the ClickBank CPA Calculator and get thorough answers to all of your CPA questions!

3) No Plans to Raise Fees – Period

We know the last thing you want during times of economic pressure is a surprise fee hike. That’s why we want to be clear: ClickBank has no plans to increase our prices or platform fees in response to these market conditions.

Our goal is to be the most vendor-friendly partner in the space, which means making sure our platform continues to be affordable and profitable for you. 

Let’s Tackle This Together

You may be riding high in your business right now or you may be tightening your belt. Either way, we’re here to support your journey as a supplement seller on ClickBank. 

If you haven’t already, we recommend you take a few minutes to review your COGs, product setup, payouts, and overall affiliate strategy. You should also consider whether a CPA model could offer you a more stable approach in this shifting economic climate.

Do you have any questions? As always, our account managers are here to help you navigate the path forward.

ClickBank has your back. Thank you for partnering with us!

Affiliate Marketing with Ember AI: The Game-Changing New AI Tool for Affiliates https://www.clickbank.com/blog/affiliate-marketing-with-ember-ai/ Wed, 05 Feb 2025 15:30:00 +0000 https://www.clickbank.com/?p=43469 If you’re ready to harness the power of AI for your affiliate marketing business, then this announcement is for you!

Obviously, affiliate marketing is more competitive than ever, and breaking through the noise on social media channels can feel like an uphill battle. Whether you’re leveraging free organic traffic or running paid ads on platforms like Facebook and YouTube, you’ll always need compelling, high-converting content to get results!

Enter Ember AI, ClickBank’s brand-new AI-powered tool designed specifically for affiliate marketers. With Ember, you can generate high-performing ad creatives, social media posts, and video scripts in just a few clicks – without spending hours writing or testing copy.

And from there, you can even create AI-powered images or videos that are perfect for sharing to social or using in your ads.

Sound interesting? Let’s dive into how Ember can revolutionize your affiliate marketing strategy!

What is Ember AI?

Ember AI is a cutting-edge content generation tool built for affiliates promoting ClickBank products.

Ember AI interface
Ember AI interface

There are two things right off the bat that make Ember unique in the AI landscape:

  1. Ember is designed to generate content for an affiliate marketing use case
  2. Ember is trained on the marketing materials for top-performing ClickBank products

All of this means Ember understands the language, angles, and persuasive tactics that actually drive conversions.

With Ember, you can:

  • Come up with high-converting ad copy for paid campaigns
  • Craft compelling scripts for short-form videos
  • Create engaging organic posts tailored for specific offers
  • Generate AI-powered videos in just a few clicks

To get started, you just choose whether you want to focus on paid traffic or social traffic with this little toggle in the bottom left corner.

For this overview, we’ll stay in Paid Traffic mode.

Now, let’s talk about how all of this actually works in practice by diving into Ember’s UI and taking it for a test drive!

How to Use Ember AI for Affiliate Marketing

Step 1: Select a ClickBank Offer

Once you log into Ember, you’ll see a list of top-performing ClickBank products ready for promotion.

No matter which top affiliate marketing niche you choose – from health and wellness to survival to biz opp to DIY – you’ll find plenty of products that are proven to convert and ready to promote inside Ember.

Notice how many of these same products show up in the top results on ClickBank’s marketplace (all at the time of this writing).

So, let’s take Ted’s Woodworking as an example.

This is a classic ClickBank offer with strong conversions that shows up all the time in our rankings of ClickBank top offers. What we can do is go through a few simple steps to generate ideas for angles, written copy, and even finished images or videos for this classic affiliate product.

Step 2: Choose a Call-to-Action

Once we set Ted’s Woodworking as the ClickBank product we want to promote, we can jump to the next step, which is choosing a call-to-action (CTA).

Ember gives you multiple pre-optimized CTAs to choose from, all designed to encourage engagement and drive traffic to your affiliate link.

Whether it’s “DM me” or “Click link,” Ember ensures you always have some kind of CTA so that your social posts or ads are getting clicks.

In this case, I’ll choose “Click link to watch video.” Now, we’re on to picking our angle!

Step 3: Pick a Winning Marketing Angle

This is where Ember really shines. Great marketing is all about angles, or capturing the perspectives that will resonate with an audience and encouraging them to take the next step.

Choose an Angle in Ember AI
Choose an Angle in Ember AI

Ember has six different angle types built right into the tool, including:

  • Value: Show off what makes your chosen product an incredible deal.
  • Fear: Tap into your audience’s pain points, especially around potential loss or struggle with if they don’t take action.
  • Story: Share a compelling narrative, ideally one with an inspirational transformation story.
  • Comparison: Demonstrate how this product or solution stacks up to competitors or traditional alternatives.
  • Benefit: Talk about the direct advantages of this product or solution for your audience.
  • Question: Spark curiosity with a thought-provoking question or series of questions.

These 6 specific angles have been proven to connect with audiences across thousands of video sales letters and ad creatives!

For this example, let’s choose Story Angle and see what Ember generates.

With a click, Ember instantly produces conversion-optimized post ideas based on real marketing materials from the ClickBank product Ted’s Woodworking.

No more second-guessing your messaging and copywriting – Ember just gives you exactly what works! Here are a few of the ideas it generated for us:

Each of these angle ideas builds on the concept of a “story angle” for Ted’s Woodworking, weaving a compelling story to draw your audience in and get them to engage with the product.

Step 4: Transform Content into High-Converting Creatives

Once you’ve selected an angle, Ember allows you to instantly convert it into different content formats, including:

  • Video scripts for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
  • Social media posts optimized for engagement
  • Long-form captions for Facebook and LinkedIn

And with Ember’s built-in AI editing tools, you can tweak copy on the fly by clicking in the box and editing yourself, or ask Ember to refine it further using the Copilot chatbot function.

When you’re happy with your content, just hit the share button and then “Publish” to post directly to your social media accounts – no extra steps required!

For our Ted’s Woodworking content, I took one of the scripts from these angle ideas and turned it into an AI-generated video that I can easily publish as short-form content straight to platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, or a rich pin on Pinterest.

All I had to do was hit the “Use This Angle” button and then wait for Ember to generate an Edit of the idea, then hit the “Create…” button, and then “Generate AI Story/Reel.”

This is a powerful and intuitive way to turn written copy into great videos for all the socials on both organic and paid!

3 Advanced Features: Ember’s AI Copilot & Personalization

I’ve touched on the most fundamental use case for Ember, which is coming up with the kinds of angles and hooks that can power successful organic content and paid media campaigns.

But there’s a lot more to explore here. I’ve picked 3 of my favorite advanced Ember features to highlight next!

1) Ember’s AI Copilot

If you’ve ever used ChatGPT, you’ll feel right at home with Ember’s AI chatbot, which is mysteriously named “The Copilot.” (Sounds like the start of a good sci-fi thriller to me!)

This built-in assistant provides real-time marketing insights, suggests improvements to your content, and helps optimize your campaigns for better results.

For example, I prompted Copilot with the following:

“I want to share some of Ember’s capabilities with the ClickBank audience. Can you summarize its best features?”

Boom… INSTANT talking points I can use for an article just like this one!

The Copilot in Ember AI

Best of all, you can easily chat back and forth with The Copilot in Ember to ensure you get the exact output you’re looking for.

2) Personalized AI Writing

So, why not just use the free version of an AI tool like ChatGPT or Claude for your affiliate marketing efforts?

Well, you CAN, of course! I’ve used them both.

But the fact is, these massive AI tools are designed to do everything for everyone. Ember isn’t just another generic AI – it’s deliberately built to learn your tone of voice and personality, and then create content with it for marketing purposes.

If you fill out a quick onboarding questionnaire, Ember will adapt its copywriting output to sound more like you, which means your content feels genuine and authentic, even when it’s powered by AI.

3) AI Image and Video Generation

In addition to generating compelling written sales copy, Ember does a great job of generating images and videos for your chosen affiliate product – or a product of your own – with the ultimate goal of distribution on social media.

It’s possible to use other image generation tools instead of, or in addition to, Ember. But the quality here is very good and streamlines your workflow, which is everything for a fast-paced space like affiliate marketing.

As for video content, I’ve messed around with AI video tools like Sora before, and while they are definitely impressive, they’re too expensive for creating videos for social media – especially at the volume you’re going to need to stay competitive!

Beyond that, you have to add a lot of steps to your workflow, filling in the AI on context about what you’re trying to do, which affiliate product you’re promoting, what its unique selling proposition or hooks are, and why you need the content it’s producing.

Ember is up to speed on all of it from Day One. It’s going to get you where you want to go much faster and more efficiently than trying to piece it all together with several separate tools.

NOTE: In this Ember overview, I wanted to emphasize the strength of Ember’s AI features, because AI is obviously flashy and exciting right now. But I want to point out that you maintain FULL control over how much AI you actually use in your content with Ember.

If you want the tool to generate some ideas that you then write a script from yourself, great! And you can always upload your own images or use the teleprompter feature to record yourself delivering the script. With Ember, you’re in control!

Why Every Affiliate Needs Ember AI

I’m impressed to say that I’ve only scratched the surface of what you can do with Ember. I just wanted to provide a good overview of what’s possible here for affiliate marketers and product owners.

And honestly, these are REALLY cool features!

I’m a long-time professional content marketer (I’d rather not share HOW long…) – and it’s uncanny how effective Ember is at coming up with compellingh ideas for content or ads, executing on those ideas with text generation, and ultimately, turning that copy into multimedia assets.

But here’s the potentially million-dollar question:

Why bother with a tool like Ember AI?

Here’s the reality: Your affiliate success comes down to you publishing quality content at scale. Whether that’s for testing dozens of paid ad creatives until you find a winning combination for your affiliate offer, or just building your own organic following, your business will live and die on both the quality and quantity of your content output.

The good news is, Ember makes this easier than ever! Whether you’re focused on free traffic or paid ads, Ember empowers you to:

  • Save time generating high-quality content
  • Eliminate writer’s block with AI-driven angles and ideas
  • Test and refine messaging to improve conversions
  • Stay ahead of the competition with cutting-edge AI

Make no mistake, your competition IS using AI right now to promote their affiliate program of choice. But because Ember is a brand-new tool, they may not be using it yet!

So here’s your chance to grab a huge advantage and leverage AI’s features to help your business scale faster than ever before. This is the perfect time to start leveraging AI to help you find more success promoting the highest-converting affiliate products on ClickBank.

Stay tuned for more information on how to get started with AI + ClickBank!

You can register for ClickBank Summit NOW so you don’t miss even a second of this value-packed webinar! 

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Now that you know about the event, I want to talk about what you’ll be learning there, which is a business model you can use to earn an income. But first, let me introduce myself!

I’m Keely, social media manager here at ClickBank and a minor social media influencer that makes money online through content creation! I’ve dedicated my time at ClickBank to creating content that helps others learn how to make money online and monetize their audience! It’s a huge passion of mine to be able to help others find financial freedom, which is why I’m here. 

So now, to the WHAT of affiliate marketing! 

At the base of it all, affiliate marketing is simply about making money online. As an affiliate, your job is to find products you can promote online and well… promote them, and help bring in a cash flow for yourself. 

With affiliate marketing, there are three KEY PLAYERS in the game:

  1. The product owner or brand: a business looking for more people to promote their products online. 
  2. The consumer: the person on the internet who will buy those products. 
  3. The affiliate, or YOU if you so choose… 

Affiliates promote brands’ products, and the consumer buys those products. As an affiliate, you then receive a percentage of each sale on the product, which is how you earn money; and the business gets more people to keep purchasing their products.

The money you earn as an affiliate all comes from the commissions earned when you get a sale through your own special tracking link. Brands choose their commission rates based on a bunch of calculations and factors that we won’t worry about right now.

While it seems simple enough, there’s a lot of nuances that come with affiliate marketing. With all the different niches, audiences, product types, sub-niches, and everything in between, it can feel pretty convoluted trying to get started. However, I’m here to break it down for you, term-by-term and step-by-step! Let’s go! 

Affiliate Marketing Basics

So we know now WHAT affiliate marketing is, at its core: promoting products from a seller or brand and pocketing commissions for every sale you generate!

Let’s go back to the basics and break it down. Affiliate marketing has 3 key players, right? We have a business owner, so let’s start with them. Let’s say the business owner’s name is Jerry in this case, and Jerry wants to promote their products and gain more customers and sales for their microfiber towel company. 

This microfiber towel company has been doing pretty well on its own, but isn’t seeing the continued growth they were hoping for. Jerry’s microfiber towel company decides they want to budget for an affiliate program to get affiliates to help with their marketing efforts.

So, the company reaches out to a few affiliate networks, and they finally find the right one for them (hopefully ClickBank!). Next, Jerry’s chosen affiliate network helps onboard Jerry’s microfiber towels onto their marketplace. They work with Jerry to decide what kind of commission rate they’d like to offer to affiliates who promote their product, and they iron out a few more details.

From there, the affiliate marketer – possibly YOU – comes along. You start learning how to make money online, and then you decide it’s time for you to jump into the rabbit hole of affiliate marketing as well. You take the first step, which is deciding on your niche.

Deciding on your niche essentially means you’re choosing what kind of products and promotional space you want to be in. When I first started with affiliate marketing, I took a look at myself, my hobbies, and what I enjoyed, and decided on a health and wellness niche, since that aligns a lot with what I do and my day-to-day lifestyle. 

Once you’ve decided on your niche, you’ll take the time to research different affiliate products within that niche to find a product that you think will sell well to your audience. 

NOTE: Friendly tip from a fellow affiliate… When it comes to searching for affiliate programs, I like to take a look at a few different factors to help me decide on the best affiliate program for me. I first will look at commission rates that are generally offered with the affiliate program. Then, I’ll check out the marketplace and get a feel for how intuitive and easy-to-use the platform is. I also like to look at the different products on the marketplace to make sure they align with my niche, my goals, and my potential audience. 

As an affiliate, once you’ve chosen your niche, your affiliate program or programs, and the products you’re going to promote, you’re nearly there. The biggest decision now is whether you’re going to focus on a paid traffic source or an organic one. What does this mean? 

Paid vs Free Traffic

Think of the two options as cars. Paid promotions are sort of like driving a really nice, fast car… A Porsche or Ferrari maybe. It’s going to cost you more upfront, but it’ll get you where you want to go REALLY fast!

Essentially, paid affiliate marketing is promoting products of your choice with paid ads. Whether that’s paid advertising on Meta (Facebook), Google, or native, it costs money upfront to get that going – but once you do, you can quickly see a big return on your investment, since paid advertising reaches a large targeted audience quickly.

On the other hand, there’s organic affiliate marketing. If we stick with our car example, organic is sort of like the Honda Accord of affiliate marketing. Nothing fancy, but dang if it isn’t reliable and consistent. It’s not going to cost a lot out of the gate, but with a little love and some consistent driving, you’ll reach your journey as well. Organic affiliate marketing is simply promoting products without paying to reach your audience. That can look like growing an organic audience on social media as a content creator, creating YouTube videos, having a podcast, publishing blog posts, or anything else that reaches an audience organically. 

Organic affiliate marketing definitely takes a longer time to see return on investment, but it’s totally worth it if you’re willing to dedicate the time and effort into it – and it’s definitely a stable way to grow your own business for the long term!

I have a video that goes into the HOW of organic affiliate marketing. You can check out our video going more in depth on how to monetize your social content below: 

With that in mind, once you’ve decided between paid and organic, you’re off to the races, metaphorically speaking! It’s time to start promoting your products. As an affiliate, there’s a lot that goes into the preparation of becoming an online marketer. Understanding what affiliate marketing is and how to get started is the best base for the beginning of your journey. 

Okay, there’s one more key player here in the affiliate marketing world: the consumer (aka the customer or buyer). This is the third party who is purchasing the products that you, the affiliate, are promoting! The buyer is a person within your niche that you’re trying to reach, either through paid media on platforms like YouTube Ads or Facebook Ads, or through organic channels like social media or a blog. 

So you’ve got the brand, like Jerry’s microfiber towel company, who is looking to get their products promoted to new audiences; you have the affiliate, or YOU, who is going to promote those products; and you have the consumer, or the person in your niche who is going to make a purchase on the product you’re promoting. Once they’ve taken that action, you and Jerry both receive a commission on the sale, and BAM – you’ve earned your first dollars from affiliate marketing!

Affiliate Marketing and ClickBank

Affiliate marketing is most certainly not for the faint of heart! It takes a lot of hard work, dedication, research, and drive. It’s definitely not a get-rich-quick scheme – it’s an actual, legitimate business model you can use to make money online, if you’re willing to put in the work!

We go into detail about all of the affiliate marketing events for the year – be sure to check them all out!

Affiliate Marketing Conferences

As a fellow content creator and person who is working on monetizing my audience, it can sometimes feel defeating and even impossible.

If you’re already in the business of making passive income online or starting your own side hustle, sometimes a little extra push is all you need. Finding success in your online business can feel hard, but with such great rewards, it can push you to be your best and earn money online!

What is Affiliate Marketing? 

Before we dive too deep, let’s talk about affiliate marketing: What is affiliate marketing and how do you get started as an affiliate?

At its core, affiliate marketing is all about earning money online. As an affiliate, your job is to find products to promote online and well… promote them. With affiliate marketing, there are three key players in the game. You’ve got the product owner/brand: a business looking for more people to promote their products online. You’ve got the consumer: the person who will buy those products. Then, you’ve got the affiliate, or YOU if you so choose. The affiliate promotes the brand’s products, and the consumer buys those products. 

You, the affiliate, get a percentage of each sale on the product, which is how you earn money, and the business gets more people to keep purchasing their products. The money you earn as an affiliate all comes from the commissions earned by promoting products. Brands choose their commission rates based on a bunch of calculations and factors. 

Ultimately, there are a few avenues affiliates may choose to pursue: paid marketing and organic marketing. Paid affiliates exist in the paid advertising world. They choose products within their niche and promote them through paid ads on platforms like YouTube or Facebook Ads. Being a paid affiliate requires some upfront costs from the affiliate, but the payoffs can be exponential.

Organic affiliate marketing takes a different route. These affiliates choose to promote their products without spending money. A lot of affiliates will promote their products through a blog, YouTube channel, or social media profile. If you want to learn more about how to start your affiliate marketing journey with $0, you can check out our how-to here!

All in all, affiliate marketing is an amazing side hustle to get started with, if you haven’t already. It takes some time, dedication, and sacrifice. It isn’t a “make money overnight” kind of deal, but with a lot of hard work, you can definitely see a lot of monetary gains.

NOTE: We’re going to assume you already have your free ClickBank account, which allows you to grow your business as an affiliate or product owner/advertiser. If not, feel free to sign up with ClickBank here!

Once your Fiverr account is set up, you can browse through the marketplace for a curated list of quality freelancers for ClickBank clients in the affiliate space.

We chose each freelancer to ensure they meet the high standards of both ClickBank and Fiverr, providing you with the confidence to move forward with your project!

When it comes to hiring, you’ll notice that most prices are incredibly affordable, in the spirit of the “five” dollars implied in Fiverr’s name.

For small, quick projects, you can often get what you need done for just $10, $20, or maybe $50! All you have to do is click on one of the freelancers’ smiling faces, fill out the details of your project, and go through the onscreen steps to complete your order!

Most freelancers will get back to you with your requested deliverable in just a few days, depending on complexity. If you have any problems or challenges you’ve been wishing you could get help with, this Fiverr marketplace might be the way to do it!

From Sunday, June 11 to Wednesday, June 14, ClickBank’s elite affiliates and product owners – those who have achieved the coveted Platinum status – will be gathering at the stunning Unico Resort in Riviera Maya, Cancun for an unforgettable, all-inclusive experience.

The Unico resort in Riviera Maya

Imagine it: sipping on beachy cocktails by the pool, expanding your horizons with relaxing or adventurous off-site excursions… And how about chatting with savvy marketers who have hit a minimum of $250K in annual gross sales on ClickBank (with many of them earning well into the millions)?

Possibly the best part is enjoying all the incredible food and drink you can handle! (I know I’m looking forward to that.)

In this quick post, I want to outline what ClickBank Platinum Summit is, touch on the Platinum Program, and share some insights from a few of our top Platinum clients on how you can follow in their footsteps and become Platinum yourself!

Why ClickBank Platinum?

There are a lot of things I could say about ClickBank Platinum and the Platinum Summit, but I could never express it as well as Izabela Fukano, one of our brand-new Platinum clients.

We had the pleasure of interviewing her during another ClickBank live event when she had been Platinum for just 10 days!

Izabela talked about how, even before she was a Platinum client, she was given the rare opportunity to attend Platinum Summit and experience the transformational power of Platinum Summit firsthand. While at Platinum, Izabela was introduced to a vendor who later gave her early access to promote their product before it was listed on ClickBank’s marketplace – and she even met her future business partner there!

All of this happened because of the high-quality networking opportunities at the Platinum Summit. But the benefits of Platinum status don’t stop at Platinum Summit.

As a Platinum client, you’ll enjoy year-round perks like:

  • Twice-weekly payments
  • A dedicated account manager
  • Personalized support
  • Custom introductions to other ClickBank clients
  • Expedited product approvals
  • A Platinum award to showcase your achievement

I’ve had the pleasure to speak with many, many ClickBank Platinum clients, and it’s truly incredible how much these perks help them reach higher levels of success.

I always like to say that Platinum status isn’t the end goal for your affiliate marketing journey – it’s still just the beginning!

How to Become Platinum on ClickBank

So, what’s the secret to reaching Platinum status? I’ve chatted with Platinum clients and gathered some awesome expert tips to share with you:

1) Izabela Fukano

Izabela Fukano leveraged the power of Facebook Ads to drive her affiliate marketing efforts, ultimately reaching Platinum after three years in May of 2023. She recommends being selective about the products you choose to promote and sticking with whatever plan you decide on.

For her, the plan was affiliate marketing with “weight loss + Facebook Ads + ClickBank.” She also discovered the power of storytelling in your ads, because stories can capture people’s attention and make them engage with your ad without you needing to make any specific claims or promises about a particular product.

And her advice? “All you need is one campaign, one video, one ad to reach Platinum,” she says.

2) Liss Graham

Liss Graham is an email marketing and list management pro who works with many of the top ClickBank clients, helping them monetize their email list in exchange for a percentage of the sales she and her team generate.

Coming from a small Texas town, Liss has had an incredible path to success in the affiliate marketing space. She started out as a science teacher and randomly came across a weight loss product that helped her lose 50 pounds – and then started working with the team behind the offer, eventually becoming their email manager.

Since 2016, she’s been in business for herself. Her first-ever live event was ClickBank Platinum Summit when she went as a guest of one of her clients. The very next year, she was Platinum herself – and she’s never looked back!

“You’re the one who’s limiting yourself. You can grow and be as big as you want to,” Liss advises.

3) Ernesto Mejia

Ernesto Mejia was suddenly laid off from his engineering job after years in his field, and needed a way to provide for his family. He turned to affiliate marketing on ClickBank and found success with Facebook Ads after 9 months of consistent work.

At the end of 2019, he reached ClickBank Platinum status and has now made Platinum for four years in a row. Nowadays, he swears by YouTube Ads for driving traffic to his affiliate offers.

He says, “It’s great to have a platform like ClickBank, great to find great offers, have a winning mindset. You can take your business to whatever level you want. And enjoy the journey, the ride. It’s kind of like a rollercoaster. It’s a matter of enjoying all of it, the ups and downs.”

Many of our Platinum clients have found a lot of success in the health and fitness niche – but no matter what industry you’re in, these strategies and insights can help you level up your own business!

Key Takeaways

So, if you’re an up-and-coming affiliate or seller, what are the biggest takeaways that will help you achieve Platinum status?

  1. Stick to the plan. Izabela pointed out that it took her three years of consistent work to make it to Platinum. Just be aware that this is a marathon, not a sprint – and even once you find some success, there will be speed bumps along the way. Trust the process and keep doing the steps, and you’ll go far!
  2. Know your traffic channel inside and out. All Platinum clients are masters of their domain. Liss Graham knows email like the back of her hand, having worked in the space for a decade already. She can explain the nuances of buyers lists vs. leads lists, cite optimal click rates, and rattle off the subject lines from her most successful email sends. Whatever your traffic channel, you should get to know it supremely well.
  3. Develop your skills. You will never reach a point where you’re totally perfect. Algorithms get updated, trends change, new products come on the market… So your goal is to never stop learning and growing. There’s a famous quote by T. Harv Eker: “Your income can only grow to the extent you do.”
