Hi Shanavas,
This view is expressed by many and I think the root cause is that there are so many claims of huge riches made by marketers trying to sell a product. This results in unrealistic expectations for many people which is followed by disillusionment when they don't make thousands of dollars overnight.
Affiliate marketing is tough for anyone just starting out, no matter what networks they choose to work with. Clickbank's marketplace is huge, giving plenty of product promotion choices for everyone. I would concede however that it has its problems too.
I see that you mention CDR on your own blog and it definitely makes getting the first CB check harder - however, if you have read the guide I review here, you will see that it provides an excellent way to overcome the problem.

Hey, thanks for this post it is very helpful for a newbie in Clickbank like me. But I am still having questions about the legitimacy of Clickbank.

Hi Tina,
I'm glad you found the post interesting and hope the book was too.
Not sure why the legitimacy of Clickbank is worrying you, they are the largest retailer of digital products on the internet and are very well established. That's not to say that they are perfect, nor that there are not some questionable products value and quality wise. Remember that all products are created by individuals and not CB themselves.
However, their refund policy is good so customers can buy through them with confidence and know that if they are unhappy they have 60 days to file for a refund.

Waaaiiittt! So basically all those hyped up "you can earn thousands in 1 week" is not possible if you become dormant or if you're just starting? ouch! Do you get negative balance here since you get penalized if you become dormant?

Not exactly. If you are making thousands in one week, CDR is unlikely to be a problem as you would no doubt have fulfilled the five different credit card stipulation and probably made at least one Paypal sale.
It's only really a problem for those who make a couple of sales and then go months without making any more. Eventually, if you do not make regular sales, you will start to accrue penalties. There won't be a negative balance, but you can conceivably see all your earnings disappear in charges if you don't make the grade. It should be made clear that you only have to make this qualifying requirement once - after that you're OK.
It's an incentive to weed out the inactive affiliates really, but it usually catches new affiliates by surprise. This free guide is designed to help people fulfill the requirements with a $3 investment for rebranding rights. By promoting their rebranded copy, they should find it much easier to make the sales. Remember, it doesn't matter how much the sales are for, just that you meet the initial minimum numbers.
9 out of 10 Clickbank affiliates have failed to do this! That means there are thousands out there who can really benefit from this guide and, as Harvey points out, if someone is not prepared to invest $3, how serious can they really be about online success?

@Viraj,
Well, it really shouldn't take that long. Without knowing how and what you've been promoting it's impossible to explain your lack of results. By all means email me if you would like to discuss further and maybe I can offer some suggestions for you.

Click bank can be a great place to make money if you can drive traffic to your links or should I say drive traffic by your links. Tho one thing I learned early is cloak your links and if possible have a domain to redirect to your affiliate promotions

26/01: Clickbank For Newbies | Essential Reading
I often write about Clickbank on this blog because there are so many affiliates and so many products to promote as an affiliate.
However, did you know that around 90% of Clickbank affiliate accounts are inactive? Quite shocking huh? Well, it's true, and the main reason for this is something that few people talk about, tucked away in Clickbank's terms of service and it proves to be a killer for many hopeful Clickbank affiliates.
Before getting paid you need to need to meet the Clickbank Customer Distribution Requirement. Here's what that means...
"In compliance with US law, ClickBank will withhold payment of any account balance until the following criteria
is met:
* Sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers and
* Sales made with two different payment methods (either Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal). Note: PayPal
purchases do not count toward the minimum 5 different credit card numbers".
OK, so maybe that's not so bad but it gets worse because of the way Clickbank treats "dormant accounts". Basically here is what they say...
"Accounts with a positive balance but no earnings for an extended period of time are considered dormant. Dormant accounts are subject to a charge of $1 per pay period after 90 days of inactivity, $5 per pay period after 180 days of inactivity, and $15 per pay period after 365 days of inactivity"
Ouch! This is the major cause of Clickbank affiliates losing heart and giving up. Harvey Segal, the author of many Clickbank ebooks and owner of the CBGuide has come up with an ingenious answer to anyone facing this problem and it's free for anyone who wants to read it. You don't even need to opt-in to a list to get your copy.
This is another piece of essential reading for anyone working as a Clickbank affiliate and I recommend you go and get your copy now. As with all of Harvey's offerings, it's a very well thought out and executed product that will genuinely help people to succeed with Clickbank.

If you are thinking of selling your own products in the Clickbank marketplace you might also like to read the Clickbank Results report which will give you an excellent grounding in how to get affiliates promoting your products rightout of the gate.
