I don't about you... but I find it very difficult to sell products from afflilate programs such as Clickbank. I only had 3 sales for an entire year!!! In the end, I got so frustrated that I try withdrawing my clickbank account. Clickbank refuse to let me go off. If you do not make any sales for a long period... Clickbank will deduct some money from your balance... I think they are not very good to affiliates
I was successful with Clickbank after a couple weeks. What methods are you using to sell the products? let us know and we can try to help... good luck!
I don't think you know the half of it. I have been with Clickbank for around 4 years. Out of that time it took me over 3 years to get my first check even though I had reached the minimum payout level at least 3 times. What happened is that as you said they deduct money from you. They deduct $2 per month. The reasons why I didn't cash out even though I had reached the minimum payout level is because I couldn't. This is because you also have to get at least 4 sales from 4 different credit cards that are in the US I believe. Now I think alot of clickbank products use paypal for their payments method. So trying to get 4 sales from 4 different credit cards can take some time if you don't get many sales.
The Clickbank is not available to my country, but I was not know that they have some limitations when the payment is in question. Thank you.
