And before we proceed to the good and bad of Clickbank, you might want to take a look also at the explanation of the abbreviations found on Clickbank.
$/sale: the commission you are going to get when someone bought the product through your affiliate link.
Future $: the recurring or residual income. This affiliate program might offer back end offer or charge certain monthly fee for membership.
Total $/sale: total commission of $/sale + Future $.
%/sale: the percentage of sales the vendor is offering. If the %/sale of the product is 75% and it cost $100, your commission will be $75 (including Clickbank commission).
%rfd: this the number of sales came from affiliate marketer instead of the vendor.
Grav: this is the gravity which means the number of affiliate marketers who are promoting this product. So, the higher the number, the competition you will face.
That basically sum up the terms you need to know about Clickbank and let's proceed to the good and bad about this popular affiliate network.
Good
Just like what you saw in the abbreviations, Clickbank provides clear statistic to the performance of the affiliate product it carries.
As you already know, Clickbank hold most of the digital products you need and it basically settle all the administrative stuff for you. You just need to sign up for an account, find your affiliate program, create your affiliate link and start promoting your link.
As long as your commission has reached your set threshold, Clickbank will automatically mail you the check twice a month. Don't worry, Clickbank is punctual with the delivery. You just need to be ready to cash in your check.
The commission you get from Clickbank is usually very high. You can even earn up to 75% of commission. That is not all, imagine the money you will be earning if the products come with back end offer or monthly membership. Although the commission you earn from these channels might not be as high, it is still a great income source considering that you don't need to do much to get the money.
Lastly, you can promote multiple products with a single affiliate ID and this can really save your time and help you manage your affiliate marketing business.
Bad & Ugly
Because Clickbank is a famous affiliate network, many vendors publish their product with the network. However, Clickbank didn't screen through the products hence I can say the products that you see in the network is not all are quality products. You need to look at the reputation of the vendor, the sales page and probably search for its review in the search engines. Surely you don't want to waste your time promoting something that is not good.
The worst thing about Clickbank is that it is easy for people to hijack your commission.
It is common that buyers will create their own affiliate link and order the product through their link. Once they reached the threshold, they will get the commission and save some money in the process.
Imagine all the hard work you have done to promote the product to the visitors and they bought the product without sharing the commission to you. It is really sad.
I hope I have shared enough information with you about Clickbank and you can start making money with the business.
