ClickBank Has a Secret

ClickBank (CB) is one of the oldest and most successful affiliate marketing places online. Many recognized information-selling gurus got their start there (like Frank Kern) and most Internet money-making info programs are run through CB.

Folks bring their online learning products and programs to be presented and picked up by affiliates who try and sell them. And today some 1.2 million hopefuls are affiliates, hoping to sell these products to others. They earn 30-75% of the selling price. I’ve used CB on and off for almost two years. Very good service.

But there’s one little detail that no one selling anything there will ever tell ya...because it’s pretty bad. But I will tell you now.

ClickBank’s Vice President recently gave an interview and reported these numbers about his company (was in an email from Joel Comm):

1. Clickbank has 1.2 million affiliates (folks who signed up to sell other people’s how-to products and programs online).

2. Only 10.9% of the affiliates – 110,000 – make at least 1 sale every 3 months. That means the great majority – 1.09 million of the 1.2 million – don’t make any sales at all. So of course they make no money either.

3. Of the 110,000 who make at least one sale every three months, only 1% of them – 1,100 – makes enough money (doing affiliate sales with ClickBank) to earn a living. Not millions – just a living. Almost NO ONE makes any money from their money making programs.(!!) Of course we know who does, don’t we?

Are those numbers any different for any well known money-making (traffic generating/niche or Google domination) marketing program on line today?

That was a very successful looking MLM on the outside. I know because I’d worked with them for eight years. In bankruptcy court the true earnings numbers came out – provided by the company. See here.

Anyway, if you’re tempted to buy this week’s “how to make money, build a huge list, dominate your niche, get ranked on Google etc.” because, God knows you DO need and deserve the money, you will likely be happy you passed.

P.S. An alternative to more money? Stop spending it. Especially spending money you don’t have (credit card money). Keep what you have. Protect it. Nurture it. I’m doing the new 5 and 5 wealth attraction experiment. You coming? No cost. Ever. Just you building up your own strength and your own power to give.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
