The Clickbank Code

1 Comment
Most people who are just beginning to get into the idea of on-line marketing eventually come across ClickBank. This is no bad thing; becoming an affiliate with ClickBank is simplicity itself. Paradoxically it seems, most newbies quit affiliate marketing or any form of online marketing, having made no money whatsoever, and in many cases ending up out of pocket.
Why Do So Many People Quit?
ClickBank have a mechanism in place that is designed to protect themselves and their vendors from people who use the system simply to purchase products cheaply for themselves using their own affiliate link. This policy dictates that before you will earn any money, you must have made sales paid for using at least 5 different credit cards, and 2 different payment methods, including Visa, Mastercard and PayPal. Note that the 5 different credit cards MUST be credit cards. Different PayPal accounts do not count towards this.
Additionally, there is a payment threshold that you must reach before you receive payment. This is set to $100, although you can change it.So although you’ve made your first sale, if you don’t make enough additional sales to meet all the criteria, you’ll never get paid.
To make matters worse, if your account remains dormant for a set period of time, ClickBank will start charging you to maintain the account. If the account stays dormant for an extended period, you could find that ALL the money that you have earned has gone completely.
I found out about ClickBank’s accounting policies the hard way. I lost about $50 in affiliate commissions because I didn’t make enough sales to meet all the credit card criteria or the payment threshold. My account went dormant and all the money was taken by ClickBank as account maintenance fees. Like most people, I hadn’t read the accounting policies in detail. I knew of the credit card and PayPal requirements, and also of the payment threshold, but I knew nothing of the account charges for dormant accounts. Not until I logged in one day to find my balance was $0.
Don’t Give Up
But I didn’t give up because I knew that there are many affiliate marketers out there who have passed these barriers and are making good money from ClickBank products.The Solution
Then I discovered an incredibly simple way of giving by ClickBank account a big kick, which propelled it through the payment threshold, and collected more than enough different credit card payments and PayPal payments along the way.That incredibly simple idea was created by the renowned ClickBank expert, Harvey Segal. He has produced a FREE report, ClickBank for Newbies, which explains the problems with ClickBank in detail, and shows you a very easy way of getting around them.

I recently wrote on this blog about ClickBank Portals.
If you’re not a programmer, you’re definitely not going to be able to make your own portal. There are plenty of scripts out there which let you set up your own portal, but if you’re not technically minded or don’t have a web hosting service, you might find it difficult to set them up.
Another alternative is to use an affiliate based portal. Basically, this is a portal that is arrived at via an affiliate link (which contains your ClickBank nickname). The portal initialisation code then extracts the nickname and applies it to the products advertised within the portal. This means that you earn all the affiliate commissions from sales made to visitors who arrived via your affiliate link.
All you have to do is drive traffic to that affiliate link.
If you would like a FREE ClickBank Portal, visit CBMall. It really does cost nothing, and if you direct traffic to it, you could make a lot of money in affiliate commissions. And if you are struggling with trying to get past ClickBank’s accounting policies, this could be a great way of getting enough sales to qualify for your initial payment.
