I love going to the Warrior Forum to see what questions are being asked. Today’s seems to be this one. “Is ClickBank still profitable?” Now, you’re probably wondering what would bring a question like this up. Well, I’m going to explain the reasons and then, I’m going to separate fact from fiction and hysteria. Yes, there is a lot of that going around and it’s about time somebody set the record straight.

Okay, let’s start with the reasons why this question gets asked so much. For starters, there are a lot of ClickBank affiliate marketers out there. I can’t even count that high. So the general consensus is that the market for selling ClickBank products is saturated and that there is no way to get a foot in the door today if you already haven’t.

Another reason that people ask if the model is still sustainable is because there is a lot of talk going around about buyers of these products actually stealing commissions. What they supposedly do is replace the affiliate’s link with their own and buy through that link itself. Because of this, potential affiliates feel that it’s just not worth promoting a ClickBank product.

Finally, there is the general feeling that ClickBank products themselves are not any good anymore. I don’t know what brought this one on but that’s how a lot of people feel.

So okay, those are the problems we’re facing. Let me put each one of them into perspective so that you can see the actual reality and not the hysteria that some people like to cause if for no other reason that the fact that they simply have no life.

Let’s start with the competition. Of course there is competition. But competition in itself is NOT a bad thing. If you go above and beyond what the typical affiliate marketer does, which isn’t much, you can leave the competition in the dust. The key is simply doing more than the typical affiliate.

What about stealing of commissions? Well, in the make money online product line, this does happen. But with ClickBank’s new cloaking system, these thefts have been cut down dramatically. Also, there is no reason why you have to promote in this niche. There are tons of products in other areas where the buyers are NOT marketers and they DON’T steal commissions. In fact, they are the easiest people in the world to sell to for a number of reasons.

Finally, we have the myth that ClickBank products aren’t any good. This is just absurd. Sure, some products are crap…just like at any other marketplace. It’s not the marketplace that makes the product good or bad. It’s the product creator.

In short, ClickBank is more than a viable option for selling affiliate products. Learn some solid affiliate marketing tactics and you should sell ClickBank products just fine.

To YOUR Success,
