Overview
An important step in attracting affiliates to promote your product is adding a listing to the ClickBank Affiliate Marketplace. The ClickBank Affiliate Marketplace is an online marketplace that displays active accounts with offers ready for promotion.
When affiliates are looking for products to promote, they often check the marketplace first. It’s up to the ClickBank Seller to create a compelling description to list in order to interest potential affiliates.

There is one marketplace listing per ClickBank Nickname. If you have different offers in different categories, consider creating an additional nickname from your primary ClickBank account.
After the first 90 days following seller activation, a seller must meet one of the following criteria to be eligible to be included in the marketplace:
Have an affiliate generated sale or rebill transaction within the past 90 days that have not been subsequently returned.
Have a marketplace listing that has been updated in the last 90 days.
NOTE: If your marketplace listing is no longer appearing in the marketplace, try adding an affiliate tools page, or updating your listing to be more descriptive and compelling.
Follow these steps to add or update your ClickBank Affiliate Marketplace Listing.
Step 1: Log in to your ClickBank account.
Step 2: Click the Accounts tab.
Step 3: Click the nickname with the marketplace listing you want to update.
Step 4: Click the Vendor Settings tab and then click My Site.
Step 5: Locate the Marketplace Information box and click Manage Marketplace Listing.
Step 6: Select the Category and Subcategory that best fit your marketplace listing.
Step 7: Enter the listing details. The Offer Title and Offer Description are mandatory fields.
Step 8: Enter up to 10 keywords that describe the offer.
NOTE: As a best practice, we recommend using keywords that are related and relevant to your offer. Based on our data, affiliates most often search for the specific offer name; the surrounding subject of the offer (weight loss, type of diet, dog training, etc.); and the type of products included (supplement, coffee, e-book, etc.).
Step 9: The Affiliate Tools URL, Affiliate Support Email Address, and Skype Name are optional but highly encouraged. Providing marketing content and contact information to your affiliates via an Affiliate Tools page is a great way to attract and retain affiliates.
Step 10: Provide a name for your landing page, a description, and the URL.
NOTE: This is typically your Pitch Page URL. For sellers with multiple landing pages, adding a description helps affiliates find the type of landing page that they need. We encourage sellers to keep the landing page title informative (i.e. Video Sales Letter, Text Sales Letter, Quiz Funnel, etc.) and then use the Description section to provide more information about that landing page.

Step 11: Click Save to save and publish your listing. Click Save Draft to save your listing as a draft. This allows you to publish your marketplace listing when you’re ready to launch an offer or a product. NOTE: Changes to your Marketplace Listing are not immediate. They will be updated within the ClickBank Affiliate Marketplace within 24 hours.
