Hi ALL! I am George Pierce, this is part four of Make Money Online Fast with Clickbank and this post is about why I am suggesting Clickbank, however, the marketing strategies and tips in this training series will work with any affiliate. If, for some reason, CB does not seem like a good fit for you, your endeavor, or your business, no problem.
What I am sharing is based on my personal experience and my sincere belief that what I am sharing is one of the easier and faster ways to make, money as an affiliate marketer. In my humble opinion, you will find the ingredients that you will need to make money with CB as quickly as possible.
I am a fan of CB, but NOT everyone is a fan. The following snapshot is an example of what I am saying, and why I am making it clear that this training will work with other affiliate networks.
Before you write off CB, allow me to share a true story.
My Story
I had the pleasure of having my son visit for almost two weeks over the Thanksgiving holiday, I love to eat, so my son's being here is a perfect excuse for going to restaurants. I Googled one restaurant that my son and I love, in order to double-check its hours. We were planning on going there on a Sunday evening. I am so blessed to be able to live in the mountains of western NC, but it is in the Bible Belt, which means that some businesses are not open on Sunday or close early on Sunday. The restaurant was going to be open, but I found some negative reviews, which led me to YELP, where I found a lot of negative reviews. My son reminded me that our experience on the last visit was excellent. In addition, most of the reviews were about online orders, and we would be dining in. We went, the food and service were superb! My son then reminded me that many good or great experiences do not show up on sites such as YELP. We were an example of an excellent review that was never made.
FYI, the above rating has only 98 reviews.
Allow me to share some amazing numbers about ClickBank
CB has over 200 million customers
CB is the 87th largest Internet retailer in the US
At the time of this post, CB has 276 categories and 21562 product listings
CB has over 6 million entrepreneurs on their platform
CB does over 200 million dollars in annual sales
Based on my experience with CB, they have been excellent.
In addition, Trust Pilot gives CB a 4.1 review rating.
WHY Clickbank?
CB controls the money!
Your benefit is that you can be confident that you will get paid. Since I have not been paid while working with OTHER affiliate networks, I can attest that it is more than disappointing, I am a content marketer, which is what this training is based on, and investing your time and effort and then making sales that do not result in commissions is not pleasant. Furthermore, based on my experience, on the Internet, it is almost impossible to get paid, when your affiliate marketing seller turns out to be a SCAM.
CB runs a tight ship!
In addition to knowing that you are getting paid, you can have confidence in the products or services that are offered by the sellers on CB. CB is going to cut loose sellers that have high returns or too many complaints.
Commission Groups?
CB commissions are higher!
I use sparingly sites such as Amazon which averages around 3% commissions and put more focus on sites such as ShareASale, Rakuten, and CJ. whose physical products pay around 10% commissions, however, CB typically pays 50% and more. Once you are established, as you see in the snapshot above, CB will put you in a commission group, which means an even higher commission, typically 85%! It used to be that you had to contact each seller to negotiate a higher commission, the above snapshot shows some of the vendors for whom CB has upgraded commissions for me.
CB has a great selection of products!
There are over 21K product listings at present. Whatever your niche, CB probably has many products that you will want to affiliate with.
CB looks out for its buyers, sellers, and affiliates!
Some large online sites claim to care, but it seems that their actions do not back that up. As mentioned in an earlier post in this training, I recently had an issue with CB, the issue was caused by my web host, but CB bent over backwards to fix the issue, over-delivering on service.
CB Stats!
CB not only keeps excellent track of your stats which allows you to quickly see how you are doing, but it also keeps track of the sellers's stats, which allow you to make a better assessment.
We will get into how to read stats in future posts. We will also focus on seller resources, which are what some sellers provide to help you to more easily share their products and to more easily bring buyers and sellers together, This training, as mentioned in an earlier post, is geared to beginners, so we will be taking a hard look at resources. Great resources can help newbies get remarkable results.

Much success,

This is an impressive training series for people looking to earn an income on Clickbank. Your training and tips will help so many to be successful on Clickbank.
In my opinion, newbies join CB and get little to no results, as I did years ago. It does not have to be that way, thank you, Terri.
