but all right so let’s let’s do direct linking a little while ago I made a presentation on YouTube and so we’re gonna follow through with that and we’re gonna do that I’ll do that with the tactical pen thing okay so first you need to have if you’re gonna do direct linking it’s not an option you have to have a tracking service there are free ones people have suggested different ones I use clickmagick I’m gonna show you how to use clickmagick it’s pretty affordable and I think it’s amazing and I think it’s the only way to be successful if you’re gonna do direct linking and also pretty much the only way to be successful if you’re gonna do even landing pages and everything I think it’s just essential to success in affiliate marketing with paid traffic so you’re gonna connect clickmagick with Clickbank I’m not going to show you that I did that earlier today there’s very good training on it in clickmagick thing the next step is to get Clickbank tracking link alright so now let’s go to the tactical pin the number one tactical pen in America I’m gonna click promote and I’m going to create a tracking link so this is my tracking link from Clickbank alright and by the way this is a handout that I gave you on the presentation and it if you watch it later in the product members area then I’ll also have a link to this visual demonstration and then the video where I explain it so don’t worry about catching all the details now so I just created the link tracking link and we’re gonna create a click magic tracking link now so we’re gonna go to the click magic and we’re going to paste in the click bank link here and then it says add a question mark tid to the end by the way this is also part of the checklist so after I go through a couple times I don’t literally like open up the in this did take me a while to get this process down but I didn’t like open up this thing and look through pictures because I didn’t have it yet but I did have a checklist so here’s the condensed version version of the checklist so go through it once visually maybe a few times but then eventually you can just come back to this one and just every single time bang out all these steps you’re good to go get Clickbank we just did that create click magic make sure to add the tid at the end this might sound confusing but I’ll just show you so we’re gonna take that and add question mark tid so what does this do a click ID is generated by click magic in each every single click that comes through click magic is gonna get its own ID it’s gonna be like a 6 character six number letter character thing and we’re gonna use that to track sales in Clickbank but just know so T ID equals click ID again this is in the instructions the next step is to test the click magic tracking link so I’m going to create this I’m gonna call it tactical pen and I created a a URL a domain I bought a domain to show you guys different things throughout the course but if you want to you can actually just use the default click magic thing either way is fine I’m just gonna call it tactical just say no cloaking I don’t need any other options and we’re gonna create link all right so now click magic has created this thing called a click magic tracking link now let’s make sure that it’s all connected correctly and it’s going to the right place so I’m going to copy it paste it all right so it loaded the sales page correctly now we need to get to a checkout page so that we can verify that it correctly got my my Clickbank account ID so this one is called DN new I just created this new account to show you guys stuff so let’s see if we can get to a checkout page all right looks like it’s going right to the checkout page great so now the way that you can verify this you can verify two things one that it’s properly attributing you as the affiliate in Clickbank so you’re gonna get credit for the sale and number two the second thing you look for is right here it says so dn new that’s the name of my clickbank account up here it says right here this is my account name so that’s correct it’s correctly tracking my account and then it says dot and it has look one two three four five six seventy nine I guess it’s a nine character so these nine numbers are a unique click ID so click magic generated nine numbers so now from now on it’s gonna take this link and it’s going to put those nine numbers right here so it’s gonna know if a sale came from a particular click if you set it up like this correctly okay so it’s all set up correctly that’s all working and again if this doesn’t make sense just go back through it until it does make sense test click magic tracking link okay so we did that so here you can see the affiliate ID and the click ID that both working create ad and Bing ads so get final URL from click magic tracking like all right so the final URL this is again if we’re doing direct linking the final URL is going to be whatever a person last lands on when they click on your link so this is the final URL this is important because when we go to Bing we need to put this as the final URL oops again sorry if this is sounding like gibberish I’ve been talking and talking but now we’re going through these steps and it will make more and more sense every time you do it and every time you watch this make sense all right we’re not to the add part yet but that’ll matter in a second so this yeah I can show you here so you can see we need to put the final URL if we’re direct linking as whatever the offer landing pages not our own landing page and then we’re gonna put the tracking details down there all right so I’m gonna show you that stuff next
