Clickbank: The Affiliate Managers Friend
by Jason Johns
Have you heard of Clickbank?
You may well have bought something from it in the past as it is one of
the old-timers on the Internet now.
It's been around for years and has a very successful business model.
What it does is provide a central service for people to list products for
sale and to recruit affiliates. Unlike running your own affiliate program
you have no worries about taking payment from buyers, paying your affiliates
or all the support enquiries this entails.
It really is your friend as an affiliate manager.
First, you have no worries about paying affiliates! Clickbank does it all
for you and gives you the money that is left over. So there is no chance of
you spending money that is meant to go to affiliates.
Second, it is less risk for your potential affiliates. They may not know
that your friends call you Honest Jack and may be wary about signing up for
an affiliate program and potentially not getting paid. They know that with
Clickbank you, the affiliate manager, don't get involved in affiliate
payments, it's all done by Clickbank on your behalf.
Third, It gives you the opportunity to automate your business completely.
Clickbank takes care of everything for you, and all you need to do is
occasionally open the mail and deposit a check. Yeah, I know it's
inconsiderate of them to make you do this much work and it disturbs your day
at the golf course, but I am sure you will manage. This automation is an
incredible feature as it allows you to set a website up, promote it, get it
high in the rankings and then leave it to do its stuff with NO involvement
from you, the affiliate program owner.
Fourth, you (and your affiliates) have no worries over refunds, it's all
done through Clickbank. In fact, you can almost have no contact with those
pesky customers if you want to and just accept the cash!
Fifth, your product can be picked up by any one of hundreds of thousands
of potential affiliates to be promoted or listed on a website with no
involvement from you! As you are sleeping, relaxing and playing golf, people
can be choosing to promote your product and setting up webpages all about it
for you.
Admittedly the user interface looks like it fell off Noah's Ark and they
still insist on paying by check instead of joining everyone else in the 21st
century and using direct bank transfer.
However, this is a very small price to pay for the massive benefits that
you, the affiliate manager, can gain from using Clickbank to promote your
affiliate program. It's sheer size and effectiveness allows you to forgive
its shortcomings.
