Clickbank is an affiliate marketing opportunity that many MLM bloggers use to promote their own products as well as make some income from other people’s products. Let’s take a look at some pros and cons and some strategies to get the most out of Clickbank.

Many of products offered at Clickbank are e-books and software that are broken down into several different categories. If you decide to promote a product besides your own as an affiliate, while the money can be OK, some of the products are not very high quality. I would seriously recommend that you carefully study which products you promote and that you or someone you have confidence in has personal experience with them. As well, make sure if you are promoting your own product at Clickbank that it is high quality and you provide good customer service so others will want to market it for you.

Clickbank Pros

  • Ease of use. As an affiliate you just need to insert your affiliate ID into a URL to be activated for the product.
  • Good commissions. Some products pay out up to 70%.
  • Leverage our 100,000+ active affiliates to find new customers for your own product.
  • Sell your products as one-time downloads, or monthly subscriptions.
  • Customers may pay using any major card brand, or PayPal.
  • International multi-lingual, multi-currency checkout.
  • You decide the commission rate you wish to offer to affiliates.

Clickbank Cons

  • Many of Clickbank’s products are not good quality.
  • Clickbank affiliate interface is not very helpful.
  • There are no built in options for creating links automatically like with other affiliate programs.

ClickBank does however provide e-book authors access to over 100,000 online possibilities. Affiliate marketers who operate a website, blog or another online outlet that deals in a specific topic will search for quality products to offer to their visitors. This provides an opportunity to offer your publication to potentially hundreds of affiliate marketers that already offer products in your product area. This not only generates revenue but helps with (yes you guessed it) establishing yourself as an expert.

If you are unskilled in the area of promoting yourself, your products and what to do with prospects, you are going to have a difficult time getting anywhere with your MLM recruiting or business. Even if you have 100 products and belong to 100 affiliate programs, you will be seriously disappointed with the results if you don’t know what to do with it all. Along with knowing where to find tools like Clickbank, you have to know how to put it all together.
