    Hello, Im trying to support my family by selling my products on CB. If anyone knew the answers to these questions it would help me a great deal and Id really appreciate it:

    1) Does CB's 7.5% includes the paypal fee? Or is that an additional fee on top?

    2) My site sells physical products but also has an ebook section. Am I allowed to host the CB salespage on my main website/sub-domain or do I need a new site dedicated to CB only?

    3) I read that "CB will only allow vendors to link to one page for multiple products"... I have 3 products which are not-related... Does this mean:
    a) I need a totally new site and account for each product?
    or
    b) I need a new account for each product but can sell all three on the same site?

    If anyone knows the answers to these questions please help me. Thank you in advance.

    1) Cb does not pay through paypal.

    2) You can promote 1,2,3 or all products on a webpage.

    3) One account is all you need no matter if you are promoting 1 or 100 products.

    Since your site sells physical products, you should look into Amazon Associates program. It's been around since 1998.

    Physical stuff like books, video games, clothes, jewellery, etc are more popular than ebooks.

    Thank you Nihangshah, but the only reason why I mentioned my physical products was to explain how I cannot have my entire site dedicated to Clickbank... given this fact, would CB let me devote only a portion of my site to them or do they demand exclusivity?

    Thanks Laxman for your time:

    Sorry what I meant was, if CB receives a payment from a customer via PP, do I need to pay the PP fee on top of the 7.5% or is it included?

    Will CB allow me to sell CB products on a site which also sells physical products on other pages?

    My products are not-related to eachother therefore it would be odd to have them all on the same page. How can I get 3 separate landing pages?

    I really appreciate your time, your doing a good deed thank you :)

    father-of-5,

    1. ClickBank's fee includes Paypal's fee. However, CB's fee is actually 7.5% + $1.

    2. You don't need a new site dedicated to CB- you just have to give them a page where you have digital products for sale and use CB's payment link. They don't demand exclusivity, though you should make sure the landing page you use is dedicated to your CB product(s) or affiliates might not be interested in promoting it since visitors might otherwise buy stuff that affiliates wouldn't get credit for.

    3. If the products aren't related, you'd probably want to set up 3 different CB accounts, just so you can have a unique Marketplace listing for each product. However, you don't need different sites for each, just a different landing page on your site (CB calls them HopLink Target URLs) where affiliates will land the traffic. FYI, you can get discounts on your second and third CB vendor accounts if you ask them. I think they charge $49 for the first account, but only $29 for each additional one if you ask their product approval team when setting up additional accounts.

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks CorpMutiny for your help, that was great. So I've passed that obstacle but have now been hit with another.

    Basically, when buyers click to buy my ebook I just want to present them with a X-sell page where they have the opportunity to add other items to their order for a higher price. See sandbox here: mytestingserver.xp3.biz/cbtest/pitch1.php

    My amateur programmer says it cant be done because there is no way to change the price listed with Clickbank, but I know thats not true because other vendors have already cracked it, like:
    hemorrhoidmiracle dot com
    burnthefat dot com

    Does anyone know what the trick is here? Can you please summarize the answer for me so my programmer can overcome this obstacle? Any assistance would be much appreciated.
