11. Multiply Your Commissions  Another trick is to incorporate multiple products in one campaign.  Send traffic to your squeeze page and start building your list.  In "week 1" promote one product, then in "week 2" another.  This is a perfect way to discover which is best, then develop your own!

12. Becoming A Clickbank Vendor  To become a Clickbank vendor, you need to create your own infoproduct.  This can be anything from an eBook, audio course, video course or software.  You will need a pitch page (salesletter) and a thank you page (where people download the product).  Follow the simple vendor guidelines in your Clickbank account to start.
