Many people start their online business as affiliates. And many of those people use a Clickbank product initially. And many of those people have never been paid by Clickbank even though they’ve made a sale!
I’ve often been asked “why hasn’t Clickbank paid me yet even though I’ve made several sales”
Doing some research online today it appears that something like 90% of all Clickbank affiliates are officially dormant!
That in itself is not good for them because any commissions earned but not yet paid by Clickbank are getting eroded by Clickbank fees. You can read more about that at Why You May Never Make Anything From Clickbank
Now let me briefly explain the main problem most new affiliates encounter…
Clickbank rules (read small print) state that before they will issue their first cheque for commissions generated payment has to be made by 5 different credit cards. That means that you have to have generated 5 sales as an absolute minimum before you are paid.
By default, there is a threshold of $100, which means that until that amount has been generated a cheque will not be released, even if 5 different cards have been used. That one is easy to overcome – the threshold can be over-ridden but you need to be careful not to go too low since Clickbank deduct $2.50 from each payment they make.
Now there is a tidy way to get the first 5 sales. For a free report – no opt-in required – and there is no catch just take a look at Clickbank for Newbies. There’s some really useful information in their too and a way to make a few of your own affiliate sales.
If you have some funds with Clickbank right now that haven’t been released this could be the answer.
