How do I sign up for a ClickBank Account?
ClickTip: As of October 29th, 2019, the process to sign up as a ClickBank Client has changed. ClickBank Clients start their sign up process by creating an account, and then creating individual account nicknames. From those nicknames, new clients can then navigate to the Account Management platform where they can update their payment information, add products, find products, network with affiliates, and complete many other functions and tasks for their unique accounts. These accounts are accessed and managed from one central login where their sales data can be analyzed as a whole and tickets for all the accounts can be managed in one place. This central login area is referred to as a "Master Account."
Signing up for a ClickBank Account is the first step to getting started as a ClickBank Affiliate or a ClickBank Vendor. There are four distinct phases to the sign-up process: signing up, completing the profile, creating an account, and updating payment information. Regardless if you want to become a ClickBank Affiliate, or ClickBank Vendor (or both) the processes are, by and large, the same. Below, find a comprehensive guide to signing up for a ClickBank Account.
