    Hi,
    The good thing is that there is a huge range of products that you can promote + they usually give 50+% commission.

    Take care.

    Hi

    The one big thing I don't like about Clickbank is the fact that a customer can simply ask for a refund without having to go via the seller first. Would be nice to know why people are asking for refunds so you can provide a better service IMO.

    Cheers

    Neil

    I think clickbank is a good choice. The business has been around for years. It's easy to sign up with them and they have an variety of good programs to promote. As kb24 said, the commission are very high with products. A new choice for anyone, especially newbies to start out with. :)

    To start off, this thread belongs in the affiliate section, I believe but we can ignore that for now:). Yes, Clickbank is a great site, very good for marketing and making money as an affiliate. They have paid out more than $2billion, so you know they are good. I recommend joining, but it takes lots of work to make good money from them.

    Clickbank is really good, but I'd suggest cj.com because they have a lot more partners.

    Clickbank is great. It was my first site I used, and I've made around $10,000 with it. :)

    They sell all virtual things. It's really good and the commissions are really high, up to 75% at times, which is really good if you've got products worth hundreds of dollars. There's a wide range of products, and the products are usually pretty decent so you shouldn't have too much trouble selling things if you target your niche well enough.

    I think ClickBank is the best place to start out if you're a beginner. There are better networks when you start to learn to specialize, but ClickBank is great to get your feet wet.

    I agree. It's the network almost all beginners take, as all the reviews and people say it's easiest. It can be in a lot of ways due to not having to submit an application to get in, you are automatically accepted, and also the fact that the system is so easy to get to grips with if you've never done anything like this before.

    There's a ton of information in the affiliates forum (there is even a section for Clickbank) that you can check out.

    It is fairly simple to get an account up and running and start promoting different products.

    I read with interest, the threads here and would like to add another.

    I think Clickbank can have its drawbacks. First you need to find a good product, that has a really good Sales page. The problem is with Clickbank products is that a vast majority of sales pages are pure and utter garbage.

    Unless you sign up to a product with a really good, hot to trot, converting sales page, you can put in a great deal work on your site, only to find that the product does not convert.

    Plus I would recommend buying the product i.e. if it is a book, buy and read, to make sure it is worth promoting, otherwise, again, you can do a lot of hard work, get some sales and then find, that product has many refunds.

    So I guess what I am saying is this. DO YOUR RESEARCH!

    Yes they pay out a lot of money, yes some products are good, however, DO YOUR RESEARCH!

    I will emphasise what MaggieDavid said - DO YOUR RESEARCH.

    There are a lot of great products on clickbank but also many, many not so great ones. The secret to success is sorting the wheat from the chaff.
