Affiliate FAQ

Straight answers to the questions affiliates ask us most. If yours is not here, Andrew is one email away.

Getting started

How do I become a Clickbank Affiliate?

Start by creating an affiliate account on Clickbank. For more information on this please go here.

From there, you will get your Clickbank ID / Affiliate ID. You will use these to create your Hoplinks.

What is a Clickbank ID and Where Do I Get It?

Your Clickbank ID is also known as your ‘Account Nickname’. It is the nickname by which your account is identified and it is used in the creation of HopLinks. It is also the name you used to log in to your Clickbank account.

Your Clickbank ID is also known as your Affiliate ID.

What are Hoplinks?

A Hoplink is an Affiliate Redirect Link. It is a linking format that allows Clickbank to track which affiliate directed a customer to a sale.

Where do I get my Hoplinks?

You can get your Hoplinks right here in the Trimmer Method affiliate area.

You can find our Hoplink generator under the ‘Promotion Links’ tab. Just enter your Clickbank ID and our Hoplinks will be generated for you.

Where should a brand-new affiliate begin?

Follow the Quick Start. It takes you from a ClickBank ID to your first promotion in five steps, and shows which link suits which kind of traffic.

Commission and payment

How much commission do I earn?

You earn 75% commission on The Trimmer Method. The program sells for $37 as one payment (it used to be $49.95), so three quarters of every sale you send is yours.

How and when am I paid?

All payments and commissions go through ClickBank. ClickBank tracks the sale through your hoplink and pays you directly, using the payment details and schedule you set in your own ClickBank account.

Is there a higher commission for big affiliates?

Yes. We have a 90% Commission Boost for all affiliate rockstars. If you are a super affiliate, contact us so we can give you a commission boost. Email Andrew at andrew@unicapublications.com and tell him how you promote, how many people you reach and when you plan to mail or post.

What does the buyer get for $37?

The Trimmer Method program by Tracey Trimmer in a men’s or a women’s version (the men’s version includes over 20 step-by-step weight loss videos), plus three bonuses worth over $85: Fasting For Weight Loss & Detox, Food Addiction: Breaking The Habit on how to stop emotional eating, and Speed Up Your Weight Loss: Sculpt A Physique In Just 20 Minutes. Everything is digital, so buyers start straight away.

What is the recurring option?

On the order page, buyers can choose the VIP edition, which adds the optional Amazing Self membership: the first month is free, then it is $37 a month. Your hoplink earns on whichever edition they pick.

Refunds and the guarantee

Is there a guarantee for buyers?

Yes. Every order is covered by Tracey’s 60 Day Ironclad Weight Loss Guarantee. A buyer who is not happy gets a full refund by emailing The Trimmer Method Support Team within 60 days. You can quote that guarantee in your promotions, word for word.

Who handles refunds?

ClickBank processes every order and every refund, under its normal rules. You never handle a customer’s money yourself. If a buyer asks you about a refund, point them to the guarantee above.

Tracking and links

What is a Tracking ID?

A Tracking ID is a short code you choose yourself and add to your Hoplink, such as email1 or fbjune. Use letters and numbers only.

The Tracking ID or TID is added to the end of Hoplinks in order for you to track where your sales are coming from. This is especially helpful if you are using multiple platforms.

Does my hoplink get saved?

Yes. When you press Save on the Promotion Links page, your link is kept in your browser for seven days, and every email, post, banner and article in this area shows it ready to copy. If you change browsers or computers, build it again.

Which page should I send people to?

Start with the main video page: it is the page the offer was built around. Use the written letter for men or for women when your audience is clearly one or the other. There are no direct order-form links: every buyer meets Tracey’s sales page first, which protects you and the brand from copycat sites. Every option is on the Promotion Links page, and the which link for which traffic table matches each link to the traffic it suits.

Which link should I use for paid traffic?

The vendor’s note on the main video page says it runs a cookie-based special and that “We’ve found this is the most effective for any form of paid traffic.” Paid ads still go to your own presell page first and then to your hoplink. Our Landing Pages are ready to use.

Promoting the right way

Can I run paid ads?

Yes, with care. Paid ads must go to your own presell page, never straight to a hoplink, and paid search needs a quick email to Andrew first. You must not bid on brand words. The Rules page sets out what you can and cannot say about weight loss, and the Landing Pages page has ready presell pages.

What can I say about results?

Quote the real 60-day guarantee and the program’s own ideas, and always say that results vary. Tracey lost sixty pounds in her own words, so present it as her story. Never promise a buyer a set amount of weight in a set time, and never use before-and-after pictures. The Rules page has the full claims policy and ready disclosure lines.

Can I get a review copy?

We can provide free copies for your review before promotion.

However, we can’t just give it to everyone, so we have listed the criteria below.

  • You have a large mailing list
  • You have your own high-traffic website
  • You have means of promoting the program to large quantities of traffic or to large numbers of people

If you fit one or more of the criteria listed above, please send me an email to request your free copy.

You can reach me at andrew@unicapublications.com.

Please send the following information in your request email:

  • Your Full Name
  • Your Clickbank ID
  • Your Website

Yes. If you need an email, article or ad that is not in the area yet, tell Andrew about your audience at andrew@unicapublications.com and we will create it for you.
