    Hello everyone, awhile back i was thinking about trying my luck with clickbank because really to be honest there is really no website content you have to worry about to make your site successful, you just need a good landing page and the traffic comes from PPC and then you just try and convert your clicks. The only hard part is choosing your product.

    Anyway the first reason i never really picked up CB is because i did not have the funds to run a adwords campaign. Well since then i picked up proxies and they have been mildly successful and i should be expecting a 500$ payment from google next month. I will continue to run proxys as my second income but the income i get right now from google is hardly enough to become my primary. So about 125$ of that 500 will go to fees i owe and then the rest will possibly go to CB campaign.

    What i want to know is. Right now i might start studying and looking for a product and do tons of research about a product to pick. And i will most likely test out with a voucher then see if i can get a nice ROI. if so i will continue but i want to ask some questions to you vets out there.

    1. How do you get paid by click bank? do they send you money everyday or every month? if its like google where you get paid basically two months later wouldn't work out for me, if i could get paid everyday then i could turn around and use that money to buy more adwords.

    2.Is it possible to make Click bank Affiliate marketing a real income? 500$ a month on average for proxies with me isnt bad but i couldn't live off it or anything so is it possible i can push click bank to a point where i can live off it?

    3.Is click bank earnings more reliable instead of adsense? I don't want to be paying for a 600$ a month appartment and earning 1000$ threw CB then one month i only make like 300$..

    4. Is it worth it? I know some people are really successful with Click bank, but whats the % that are? is it like 10% actually make money threw CB but 90&% just out right fail?

    Any answers would be great. thanks for your help.

    I have had nothing but very good success with clickbank. Although I use free advertising techniques.



    To your success,

    Twice a month -see their site FAQ's for more specific information. Twice a month is a lot better than a lot of affiliate networks out there, such as Amazon where you could go 2 months without seeing your money :p

    Yes, it all depends on how hard you're willing to test, try, work, and learn. To the diligent, success will come.

    There's been some discussion about the reliability of Clickbank lately. You can kind of read whoever you want to on this - some say there's tons of glitches and missed sales and broken hoplinks at times... others don't seem to be too affected. I don't think I'd rely on CB as your sole source of income into you're well into the game and making significantly above the minimum survival income level. As with everything, products and sales on the internet can vary, and you want to make sure you're not living on the edge.



    That's definitely a personal decision. Aside from occasional tech. problems as discussed above, there's no reason why Clickbank shouldn't work for you if you put the A)time to research & learn and B) hard work & testing into it. I started out knowing nothing about marketing, sales, products, landing pages, cloaking, hoplinks, opt-ins, etc etc, and here just a few months later I'm making a solid, significant amount of money from Clickbank.

    I'd wager to say the 90% that outright fail are those who think it's a cheap fix, a get-rich-quick scheme, and when they put up their ads for the uber popular MP3 downloading programs with keywords like 'download MP3s' and spend 100$ adwords with no sales, they say hey, screw this, it can't work for me.

    We all have our failed campaigns and wasted money on adwords - it's not an issue of getting the marketing right on the first time - it's about learning, testing, and refining - putting the time in to figure out what works, testing against it, and making adjustments.

    If you're willing to do hard work and not think of it as just a get-rich-quick scheme, (like anything in life..) you'll do well. There really is no easy shortcut to money on the internet, but with a little time and effort, Clickbank is a very decent way to make some extra cash.

    proxy or proxies. they are mainly used for the teens who have sites blocked at school or the people overseas who use them alot. you can check out www.proxyradar.info for example. you just type in the address and then it takes you to the site but it hides your IP. so it can't be blocked inless they block the proxy website.

    And thats for your response Telmari, i think ill go ahead and try it out. I'm gonna start research now and then by next month i think ill be ready. I was just worried that my 500$ would go to waste if i don't hit it on the bullseye.
