So Tell me " What IS Clickbank?"

If you have been online very long at all or if you have been researching affiliate marketing for any length of time, then "What is Clickbank?" has been YOUR question as well!

Clickbank and Consignment Shops ... 

...are basically one and the same in my opinion.

Let me explain in a common country mom's language :)

Let's compare affiliate marketing to having a consignment shop....

Let's say you have your shop on main street and you have a variety of things in your shop on consignment from which you make a commission if a customer stops by and buys...

Affiliate marketing is exactly the same principle - the only difference is that you now have an online site or storefront where you have to find ways to get traffic to - so that people will actually be able to find you - and when they 'stop by' and make a purchase - Bingo, you make a commission!

Actually, when you have an online store - you don't have to:

  • store products

  • handle products

  • in most cases you don't even have to handle the money

  • very minimal overhead costs - if any

  • product line is vast
  • Why Use Clickbank? 

    Founded in 1998, ClickBank is the online retail outlet for over 10,000 digital product publishers and their 100,000 active affiliates.

    ClickBank makes a sale somewhere in the world every three seconds. They serve over 200 countries, and are consistently ranked as one of the most highly trafficked sites on the web.

    There are over 100,000 active affiliate marketers currently using ClickBank.

    And, from all the stories, not one of them started their career
    knowing that they wanted to be an affiliate marketer. Now, they can't think
    of anything else they would rather do.


    Take Miles Baker and Russell Brunson for example.

    Baker didn't finish
    college, tried IT support and sold hot tubs full-time.

    Brunson tried his hand
    at real estate, side jobs, ran a raking company that lasted all of four days
    and tried making it big with e-Bay.

    Both men found ClickBank, fell in love with affiliate marketing and are
    making a full-time living through their online businesses.

    Clickbank and Affiliate Bank... 

    ClickBank provided both Baker and Brunson the tools they needed to start
    and run their online businesses, including prompt and reliable payment of
    commissions earned and comprehensive tracking, analytics and reporting.

    Russell Brunson's introduction to affiliate marketing and ClickBank started
    with a trial and error period. "I was still in college, my wife was supporting
    me and I always felt guilty," he said. So, Brunson knew he had to be
    creative in solving his financial quandary.


    At that time, Brunson was trying to make a living buying and re-selling
    goods online.

    While at the post office, Brunson realized that all the time and effort put into
    buying, posting, selling, packing and shipping wasn't paying off; he then
    bumped into a gentleman that had, "80 packages, all the same size that looked like CDs," he recalled.

    When Brunson learned that the man was
    selling the items online, a lightbulb turned on.

    "I thought, 'That's cool!'

    I did further research on what I could sell on CD or
    even just through a download.

    That led me to find ClickBank. I thought to
    myself, 'This is the answer.'"

    That answer was ClickBank providing affiliate marketers, like Brunson, with
    thousands of products, in dozens of categories, to promote.

    Like many
    affiliates, Brunson also became a product publisher.
    "I earned about $250,000 during my senior year in college and within a year
    of graduation had crossed the million dollar mark," he said proudly.

    Affiliate marketing works because revenue is generated for both the product
    publisher (the e-book writer, software developer, etc.) and the affiliate
    through a pay-for-performance revenue sharing model.

    Affiliates choose
    which products to offer from ClickBank's Marketplace and know, up-front,
    the amount they will make when a transaction takes place.

    Commission
    rates for affiliates vary, depending on the rate set by the product publisher,
    but for ClickBank users the rate is often as high as 75 percent.
