Clickbank Trademark Use Guidelines

Any product that contains a reference to Clickbank must contain a disclaimer to the effect that there is no connection between the vendor and Clickbank, and that the product is not approved or endorsed by Clickbank.

Over the years I have seen numerous ebooks containing a suitable disclaimer that states that Clickbank is a registered trademark of Keynetics Inc.

At the time of creation of the products, this was part of the disclaimer supplied by Clickbank.

Having read the updated Product Promotional Guidelines on the Clickbank site, I see that this has now changed and the standard disclaimer that they provide has replaced “Keynetics” with “Click Sales”.

So if you are currently writing an ebook or other product that mentions Clickbank, you might want to check that you have included the latest disclaimer as supplied by Clickbank, the wording of which is…

CLICKBANK® is a registered trademark of Click Sales, Inc. and used by permission. [Read more...]

Clickbank Payments – The Hidden Charges

If you’re based in the USA, then this post doesn’t really apply to you, but you might want to check it.

I am based in the UK and it will come as no surprise to you that I am a Clickbank Affiliate – after all, that’s what this site is all about.

Every 2 weeks, Clickbank send out cheques (checks) to the thousands of affiliates who have accrued commissions that exceed their payment threshold.  When I first started out as a Clickbank Affiliate, I left my payment threshold at $50 because I wasn’t getting many sales and I wanted to receive the money as soon as possible without falling foul of the Dormat Account policy.

After receiving my first cheque, which was for $44.75, I happily went to my bank to pay it in.  Of course, the payment was in US Dollars, and my bank account is in UK Pounds.   I wasn’t [Read more...]

Become an Instant Clickbank Millionaire with Fake Stats

We’ve all seen countless sales pages showing screenshots of Clickbank accounts. You know the kind of thing – tens of thousands of dollars coming in every day. Numbers that you can only dream of weeing in your Clickbank account.

How do they do it? Well that’s why you need to buy their product isn’t it? They will show you the very system that earned them more than $10,000 per day.

Merchant or Affiliate?
Did you notice how carefully I worded that last sentence? Notice that I didn’t say that they earned $10,000 per day by USING their system; but it was the system that earned them that money.

What’s the difference?

Well, somebody who has a system to sell can earn money in two different ways. The first is by using the system. The second is by selling the system. If they used the system that they are [Read more...]

Top 30 Most Visited “Affiliate Marketing” Clickbank Sites

Previously, CBIntuition has published lists of new Clickbank products on a weekly basis. I’m not convinced that the lists were particularly useful, especially as so many new products are introduced every week.

The thing about new products is that nobody knows much about them, so the only way they would have been useful is if the posts on this site contained genuine reviews of the products. That’s not really practical at this stage – I certainly don’t have the time and resources to obtain, try out and review every new product.

Additionally, the majority of people who visit CBIntuition are themselves affiliate marketers, so having lists of all new profucts in every category was a waste of space. So, I am experimenting with a number of alternatives. Here is my first one. It’s a list of the top 30 most visited sites in the Affiliate Marketing category.

Being successful at online marketing is a whole different thing. It doesn’t matter how many websites you create or how many advertisements you create, if nobody sees them, you’ll make no sales whatsoever.

Droid Generator – Go Mobile with Your Marketing

In the online marketing world, it has been long known that software is a great money-spinner; more so than other info-products such as eBooks. Unfortunately, you have to train as a programmer to be able to create software, and that’s not a quick and easy task.
I know! I am a professional programmer and I spent 3 years studying Computer Science at University, and after many years of experience, I’m still learning new techniques.

Software programs that are used by the consumer are also known as “applications”, or “apps” for short. You must have heard the name “App” thousands of times since the advent of the iPhone and iPad, and other smart mobile devices.

There are now thousands of apps in the Apple iStore and the Android Market, and the number is increasing daily. Most savvy companies are producing apps to promote their brand. The apps are often [Read more...]

Disappointed with Affiliate Marketing?

There are a lot of people (and I mean a LOT!) who have tried their hand at online marketing only to end up losing more money than they made. Many took the advice of others that affiliate marketing is the way to go, because you don’t need your own product, don’t necessarily need a website, it is somebody else’s responsibility to fulfil the orders, and you get a nice commission from each sale. If it’s a Clickbank product, the commission can be as high as 75%.
In a nutshell it sounds ideal. You get paid more than half of the purchase price and all you have to do is get people to visit the sales page to buy the product.

Unfortunately, that’s where the bubble bursts. Getting people to the sales page is not quite as easy as the professionals make out. If you don’t have a [Read more...]
