Using the clutch will affect the wear of the bike, however, some people say its nore controlled to do it that way than throttle. Usually, you'll find the engaging spot of your clutch, pull in the clutch while rolling off the throttle, and simultaniously blip the throttle back with power while releasing the clutch right before the engaging area. All this needs to be quick and controlled.

kinda like how i release when your mom pulls me all the way in and bounces?

no wait.. its not like that at all is it?

edit:

your clutch will last you a long time as long as you're not letting it slip much, but it will wear faster than with normal riding.

Yup Yup Yup, if this is your first time, I would recommend getting used to what you are doing on a dirt bike or 50 or something.

Hales is right the only way to really get the clutch where you need it to be is to loosen it up a little bit... rev it to the redline, then pop it and try to lean backwards a little bit you'll do wheelies every time
