BASICS OF CREATING YOUR HOPLINK

Clickbank uses a standard Hoplink format:

http://xxxxxx.vendorname.hop.clickbank.net

Since Bullpen Marketing LLC is the company which owns Youth Baseball Parents, the Clickbank "vendor name" is:  bullpen1 (no quotes or parentheses).

So the particular Hoplink to sell the Youth Baseball Parents e-book:

http://xxxxxx.bullpen1.hop.clickbank.net

All you have to do is replace the xxxxx with your own Clickbank account name.  For example, if your Clickbank name is "ABC123XYZ456789" (remember, this is a fake/example name) then your Hoplink would be:

http://abc123xyz456789.bullpen1.hop.clickbank.net

4)  Your visitor will then be directed to the main http://www.YouthBaseballParents.com page with your Clickbank ID in the tracking code.

5)  Assuming your visitor does not clear the "cookies" on his or her computer, you will get credit for any Youth Baseball Parents sales for 60 days.  This allows you to send follow-up information to encourage your visitor to buy the book.  To get more information about Clickbank's Hoplink policies go to http://www.clickbank.com/hoplink_faq.html

One of the best ways to convince prospects to buy through your affiliate link is to send "viral" reports which contain quality information AND your affiliate link.  You will get a list of free reports which cover numerous topics about health, fitness, nutrition, and emotional development.

Once you choose a specific report to send to your opt-in mailing list, post on a forum, or otherwise post online (or offline) you will then be able to "brand" that PDF report with your special Clickbank affiliate Hoplink.

Ebook Cover Graphic Images

Right-click any of these images and save them to a file which you specify on your computer.  You then can upload them when you are ready.

BANNER ADS

INTRODUCTION TO INTERNET (ONLINE) MARKETING:

NOTE:  YOU MUST COMPLY WITH ALL TERMS OF USE, ANTI-SPAM, PRIVACY, AND OTHER POLICIES ON THIS WEBSITE AS WELL AS THOSE OF ANY WEBSITE, FORUM, NEWSGROUP, OTHER PLACE WHERE YOU WILL POST YOUR HOPLINK TO THIS SITE.

There are several ways you can market, promote, publicize, or announce the Metroflex Gym Guide.  Some examples include and e-zine, newsletter, your own website, or a blog.  Here are some techniques you can use on any of these provided they meet all of the appropriate conditions in the stated policies:

1)  Send A Specific E-mail To Your Newsletter/Mailing List

If you have a confirmed "opt-in" (meaning that people have opted in, or given permission to receive e-mail communications from you) mailing/newsletter list, you can send a single e-mail to that list.  This is a powerful technique, and your promoting the e-book will be the entire subject of the e-mail.  The results can be impressive from this technique, and you are welcome to modify the various e-mail articles included in the Affiliates section on this site.  You can even contact me if you need some help customizing your e-mail to make sure that it meets all guidelines as well as entices the reader to visit the website through your Hoplink.

If you do not have an opt-in list yet, you can start building one!  E-mail us for more ideas.

2)  Using Space In Your Newsletter Or E-Zine For Maximum Effectiveness

If you have a newsletter or e-zine (an electronic magazine), you can do several things to send interested visitors to Youth Baseball Parents through your Hoplink:

• Insert A Sponsor Ad
  • You can say that Metroflexgymtraining.com is the "sponsor" of your newsletter or e-zine and place a short ad inside the newsletter/e-zine.  You can access some example ads in the other Affiliate sections of this website.
• Insert A Classified Ad
  • Putting a short classified ad in your newsletter/e-zine is a useful technique.  It is unobtrusive to your readers and it will make them more curious to check out the site.  You can adjust the length of the ad to meet your reader's tastes, and you can use the sample ads in the Affiliate section.
• Insert A Simple Text Link
  • This can either be the full customized Hoplink you created or it can be a "displayed" link of Youth Baseball Parents.  Just make sure that you follow all policies if you do not want to display your specific Hoplink.
• Write Your Own Review & Endorsement
  • If your readers find you to be credible, you can endorse the e-book and/or write your own review of it.  You are welcome to mention the free bonuses which come along with the package (such as the "Get To Know Your Jeans" bonus report) as well. 
• Write An Endorsement About YOUR Experiences
  • If you buy the e-book package and make progress with the information, people are going to be definitely interested in what you have to say.  You can create your own before/after photos, chronicle your experiences, and even share personal experiences with the non-training portion of the book (such as the sections on goal-setting or being an "ambassador" in your gym).
• Put Your Link In A "Signature File"
  • If you post anywhere, many forums and internet boards discourage blatant advertisements.  They may allow you, however, to include a signature file to your e-mails which may have your Hoplink in it.  You will have to abide by the rules & policies of each specific blog site, forum, board, etc. It can be a very useful tool since it is unobtrusive. 

You may also use all of the same techniques for your website, blogs, forum postings, etc.

For your web page, you may also use any of the Banner Ads, ebook covers, or other information which is available to you on this page. 

If you wish to include an article, simply add a "Credit" and you can also include banner ads, e-book covers, etc.  Here is a credit which you may use:
