New affiliate marketers often begin with Clickbank and if they are are lucky and or with a lot of hard work, make some sales only to run into Clickbank's Policy re: dormant accounts. Understood it is in place to protect against fraud, however to the new marketer who is likely struggling to learn, progress and make sales...it's like a kick in the teeth to see hard earned money being zapped because of lack of sales. It takes a tremendous amount of faith in oneself not to get discouraged and quit. Very good points made in this post.

You can advertise your own site I think from classified ads inside E-bay and also link from inside your ebay store. Then just promote your site as normal getting backlinks etc Whenever I get around to writing an ebook I will use paypal and sell from my own website.

I'm kind of hesitant because Clickbank dating manual advertisers number in the hundreds (there's 149+ listed). I'm currently researching PayDotCom, but the interface is a lot harder to use (from the advertiser side) than Clickbank To advertise a product on Clickbank, you have to pay ~$50 fee.

I am UK based and there are some decent products on clickbank I would like to promote, however, having just logged back in after a brief absence, have found that the small amount of commission I earned has been eaten up by clickbanks dormant account charges, also never an email to say "You Got Funds" ! They say you can only have direct deposit account after you have made 5 different sales for different products!, and then only after your check has been sent to you and deposited in your account,! They provide no proof of postage or email that a cheque has ever been sent, or is going to be sent and who are you to be able to say that they didn't send it, or it was not received....so when the imaginary cheque arrives..five times and clears..you then can have a real account, but there does not appear to be any way of tracking your hits or sales and most of the products for sale are with landing pages that redirect and want the potential customer to purchase a bigger package or register their email for the next big thing that you have no control over what so ever give them your bank details and begin promoting their products spending £100's of pounds and getting hits,..but only to find that the customer has been redirected via an email link, that you can't track ! I really think you will find that the very vast majority of products for sale actually are commissioned by the owners of clickbank, and thrives on the gullibility of new-comers and the honest intentions of most of us genuine people trying to sell a product to enhance our lives and other peoples lives, not just to line the pockets of these unscrupulous con men under the umbrella of paypal, I hope that their dubious practice is exposed before too long and that someone in the UK will develop the same type of program, and also that Paypal will listen to the complaints that should ALL be registered ..no matter how insignificant they may seem...so I lost about £34.. big deal..but even if you times that by a few thousand, it is still a lot of money. I like your website and please excuse my ramblings! John http://www.goldwriters.com hello Erica ,

I just had a horrible experience with them through one of the programs that I promote. I typically receive payment directly to Alertpay, though when they were changing credit card processors, I had to use the Plimus option through this company. They have held our money for months stating that they have an investigation processes for the 1st month that a vendor is with them ... meanwhile, the company I represent has been with them since Oct 2008 and has had very few charge backs and no problems. Not only did Plimus hold the affiliates earning, but also thousands of dollars they owed to the vendor. Each month they would issue an email stating that they were paying and then a recap that they were not a few days after. The live customer service is only for the customers - not affiliates or vendors. You have to play email tag for any explanation, and it is vague. After months of their holding our money with no valid explanation, they have just started releasing the money to the vendor. They paid only 10% for the first payment. I would suggest that you go ahead and develop your own if not planning to use clickbank or paydotcom. FYI: I would not recommend, Plimus.

So far I have made $88.00 in sales on Click bank but that is with only 3 sales. Not only does a person need 5 sales, 1 Master Card and one Visa, but hey must also make atleast $100.00 before a check is sent out for the first time. Considering the affiliate is more then likely paying a compay like Adsense for the key words this can be both costly and supprising. I had to stop my sales because at the time I had to direct the funds for the Pay Per Click to other places. The profit I would have made would have covered my costs but since I didn't know about the delay, my fault for not reading all the fine print, I did some serious damage to my account. Short and sweet expect about 1 of 20 or so of your products to sell well. That is how my encounter with Clickbank went. Hope it goes better for everyone else.
