For a one time set up fee of $49.90, Clickbank is definitely worth it. I had my first account in november last year and have been making consistent income since then. 90% of my sales came from clickbank the first two months. Their support is 1st class. Every enquiry was answered to my satisfaction. It really helped me to start out. But of course need I say you must have a good product to sell first. Do your research. Good luck.
Seems to me the <$50 to get a merchant account w/ CB is a good investment. When you consider that 30,000 products are active at any given time, this is a good metric on why CB is the 800 lb. gorilla in the room. Considering most of the keyword tools I use all ping the CB network to provide me with stats on gravity, commercial intent and other useful metrics, that CB has major mind share with most of us affiliates. CJ, Hydra and pepperjam aren't too bad either.
Can you still earn money off ads if you havnt paid this $49 fee, as i have an account?
If you are referring to clickbank's hoplink ads, yes of course you can. You will be paid a referral fee/commission just like any other affiliate programme. Not so much like adsense where you are being paid by per click.
I dont understand, are you an affiliate or a merchant?
Because I payed nothing 2 years ago when I signed up for an affiliate account with Clickbank.
Maybe its new move by clickbank to curb non converting affiliates registration.
If you are serious about making money from affiliate marketing then I will agree that they are worth paying for otherwise you will just end up not been able to generate any sale and losing your money.
But there are equally other good affiliate marketing sites such as Commission Junction, Shareasale, Pepperjam network, etc that are free to join and I would advise you to start with those instead of paying to join Clickbank.
Is clickbank worth paying for?
