A Look At ClickBank For Money Making Opportunities

by Sean SEO on August 8, 2008

in Internet Marketing

clickA lot of new and experienced internet marketers make money with ClickBank. What is it and how does it work? The idea is that you direct people to ClickBank hoplinks where your user ID is listed and you’ll make a commission if the person buys the product. You can sell through e-mail marketing, websites, blogs and article marketing or bum marketing.  ClickBank sells digital products like e-books and membership sites.

You can also publish your own products on ClickBank for a fee so can do more to earn money above and beyond selling other people’s digital items. If you have an idea for an e-book or membership site, you can sell memberships through the ClickBank marketplace and make money when people buy copies of the digital product. Selling your own product on ClickBank can be great because you can have affiliates sell the product for you and increase your chances of making money.

How Does ClickBank Pay?

ClickBank pays by cheque or direct deposit and there are some requirements such as minimum order quantities and a specific mixture of credit card types that should purchase before you are cleared to receive payment. They also have policies regarding chargebacks. You’ll find a number of products to sell through ClickBank and many marketers make the lion’s share of their income through this program.

Have a most outstanding day.

Hi Sean,

I like Clickbank because there are lots of products to choose from. It’s very easy to join and get started with but I’m yet to make any money. I get quite a few clicks on my hoplinks but no sales. The products seem popular but maybe they are too popular and the market is saturated.

I have much to learn. :)

Go back and have another look. Have you looked at their rating in Clickbank yet?

It’s great to have a place like Clickbank, especially as a beginner when you don’t have your own product. You can find something that fits your niche and can start marketing and earning some money :)

I have started using Clickbank but like Jazz I haven’t had any luck yet.

Their is plenty of ideas in this blog so it will be a matter of pulling it all together

Same here Gee. I have started to focus on new(ish) products as the number of affiliates would be less and allow a better chance to compete over products which have been available for some time with many affiliates.

I have an account but haven’t picked any products yet. And I think I’ll be holding off until I work my way through all of Sean’s material. I like Cemil’s suggestion of focusing on newer products. That might be the best way to approach Clickbank. Another little note for my Learn And Earn notebook. :)

Hi Sean

I have heard many different stories about Clickbank yet most people have reported no income for their efforts. It is probably because they give up too soon or need to learn more. We are all learning so much with you Sean that I know if we keep on learning and taking action we will all be able to earn a really decent income from internet marketing.

I have always been interested in Clickbank, and I am definitely going to give it a go. I just need to learn some more Market Samurai and SEO.

Clickbank is a great starting point for beginners. It is easy to navigate your way around and plenty of great easy to understand info to get you started. Which is where you should spend some time doing your research before you take the leap :-)

I agree Helen. I have sold a couple of things on CB, but haven’t really pushed stuff yet – well not as much as I perhaps should.

Clickbank is neat because it is an easy way to get high demand products to promote and all the delivery etc is handled by others and not us.

I do have my own products that I am developing and I will have a look at selling them on clickbank. I think it will be a good little income producer.

Clickbank is certainly worth giving a shot Elly. You never know, you just might have the next top selling Clickbank product ;-)

There is such a huge range of products on Clickbank to choose from that you could spend your entire affililiate marketing life there !

What a great place for people who want to earn money working from home writing Ebooks and then on the flipside selling an affiliation for the Ebook.
