Hello everyone, I have been getting a good amount of emails lately from people who want to know how to make money on Clickbank. I thought, why not share my knowledge with everyone here and show everyone how I have achieved this. I will also be giving away a free training course that will walk you through, step by step and show you how to master Clickbank.
There Are A Few Things You Need To Know Before You Get Started
I know you guys have probably seen other websites out there that claim you can make thousands of dollars in little to no time on Clickbank. I would exit out of any websites who feed you this line of BS. More than likely they are just out to get your money and don’t truly care about helping you succeed online.
Let me put a few things into perspective for everyone who has tried to make money on CB before.
First of all, you can’t make money if you have no idea what you are doing. Am I right? It will take you a while to get trained and learn everything you need to know about affiliate marketing.
This is going to take time, patients and lots of hark work and determination. This is NOT easy and it will require your 100% attention, but it will definitely be worth it in the long run.
You might be asking yourself is this something that I can do even if I’m not good with computers? Absolutely! Anyone who is willing to work hard, stay focused and follow the training can make lots of money doing this.
What Exactly Is Clickbank & How Can I Make Money With Them?
Clickbank (CB) is the #1 digital online marketplace that has been online for 16 years now. There are millions of people who make money with them and they have paid out over $2.5 billion to people all across the globe.
Isn’t it about time that you got your share of this money and started getting paid what you’re worth? With over 20 categories to choose from, you can pick and chose what you want to promote and get started for FREE. There are people in 190 countries who are making money with them and you could join these people today.
There are 2 ways you can make money on CB
You can choose to be an affiliate for the thousands of products that are already in the marketplace. Every time someone clicks on your affiliate link and purchases the product you make a commission.
You can earn up to 75% commission on most items and promote multiple products at the same time. You could also create your own product and sell them on the marketplace.
Here are just a few of the many ideas you could use to create your own product.
You could write your own e-book- This could be a guide or a walkthrough that shows people how to do something. For example, if you are in the romance or relationship niche you could write an e-book that offers tips and advice on how to get your ex back.
How to training videos- Are you a trainer or do you love helping show people how to do something? Why not create your own training video series and sell them on the marketplace?
Healthy living and gluten-free cookbooks- Are you passionate about eating healthy and staying in shape? Why not share this passion with the world and show other people how to eat healthy and lose weight?
Gaming guides and leveling up tutorials- Are you an online gamer who has leveled up your character to the max, or has beaten some of the hardest parts in an online game? Maybe you have the skills to develop an add-on for a popular online game. Did you know there are thousands of gamer’s out there who need help and would be willing to pay for this type of information?
You could create a guide that will help them out and show them how to take their game to the next level and beyond.
These are just a few ways that you could create your own products and make money by selling them on CB.
What You Need To Watch Out For On Clickbank
Unfortunately, everything you find on CB isn’t good. There’s a pretty good amount of low quality products and down right scams on CB. This is due to the fact that they don’t screen any of their vendor’s products.
This means that anyone could bring a low quality product to their network and they would approve it. You will find lots of these low quality products in the make money online niche. They are scattered across the entire platform.
Here are just a few of them that I found that you should avoid
Let’s take a look at a few things here in this listing. This wouldn’t be a product you would want to promote. As you can see the average sale is only $3.25. You want to go after products that are going to pay at least $15-20 per sale.
Also, the gravity is entirely too low. The higher this number is the better. Gravity means how many people have made sales recently promoting this product.
There are a few reasons why this number is low and they could be
- There’re not that many people interested in it
- It could be an old product and no longer in existence
- It’s a low quality product and it doesn’t offer any value to the customer
Here’s another low quality product
We all want to make our first million, but I can assure you that products like this won’t get you any closer to your first million then you were before.
The gravity and sales are zero which is never a good thing. Even though this could be a new product, and maybe it hasn’t gained the momentum that it needs to start converting into sales. I would stay away from it.
What You Should Be Looking For When Trying To Find Products To Promote On CB
You are going to need to do lots of research when you are trying to find good products to promote. This includes checking out the landing page (Sales page) to make sure it’s providing an up front and honest sales pitch. Is it informative and does it get to the point ? or is it all hyped up?
It is also a huge plus if the vendor’s website is an actual website and not just a sales page. This is hard to find nowadays, but it definitely helps when you are looking for a good quality product to promote on Clickbank.
If a product has a recurring commission, you will continue to get paid month after month for making only 1 sale. Make lots of these and you will be building up your residual income This will be listed as Avg rebill in the stats under the program.
You need to take all these things into consideration when deciding on what to promote on CB. Here are a few good examples of great products you could promote.
Here’s another great program that you could promote if you were in the internet marketing/ make money online niche.
The average rebill means that you can make a recurring commission from this product. These are the type of programs you want to be looking for. Also, the gravity is high, so this tells me that there are lots of people making money with this product.
Another good thing about this product is the vendor’s website is an actual website, not just a sales page.
What To Do After You Find A Product You Want To Promote
Now that you have found a product that you want to promote you will need to do some keyword research to see what kind of competition you are up against. It doesn’t matter if it’s the greatest product in the world if the competition is too high you aren’t going to get very far.
Check out the top 5 listings on Google’s first page to see how easy or hard it would be to outrank them. Remember the product needs to help solve a problem and provide the information that people are looking for when they do a search in Google or other search engines.
Here recently I have tackled Clickbank and I have made some money with them. I haven’t made a whole lot but I have made a couple sales in the past few months.
Check out my earning below
Now I know this is not a whole lot of money but this just shows that it is possible to make money with them. You just need to do lots of research, and you have to dig deep and I mean really deep to find some legit products.
Also keep in mind that it took me several months to do this, but it’s no harder than any other affiliate program out there.

Thanks so much for this awesome write-up Scott!
I am new to online marketing. please, can you help with info on how to market on click bank and WA? I tried signing up on WA but it’s showing my country is not on the list. I am in Nigeria, and I work hard to earn. please, advice me on what I should do.
Scott Newkirk
You are most welcome Lordson!
Like you, I was also new to online marketing and I had 0 knowledge on how to market products online. In the past 3 years, I have learned how to successfully market products on both the Clickbank and WA platform and have had a huge amount of success with it. I would be more than happy to help you do the same thing and show you exactly how to successfully market products on both of these platforms.
Unfortunately, Nigeria happens to be 1 of the countries where the starter membership isn’t available. You would need to Join As A Premium Member in order to gain access to the WA community. I hope this helps you out Lordson and please let me know if you have any other questions or need a hand signing up or getting started.
I really am looking forward to working with you and I’ll talk to you soon.
Cheers

Ivette
Thank you so much for the information, I am an affiliate with clickbank and believe me I have been very confused and not knowing what i’m doing wrong with clickbank. I’ve been very discouraged because I have not made any sales at all, but, knowing now…reading what you have shared about clickbank has opened my eyes and it’s true I really have to dig deeper because there is a lot of useless things on there.I’ll keep trying and hopefully get some sales going & making money! Thank you again! “Happy Success to everyone.”
Scott Newkirk
Hi Ivette,
You are very welcome and I’m glad this post has helped you out and provided you with the information you were looking for. When you don’t have the right training on how affiliate marketing works, then you won’t have a good understanding of how to be successful at it. You also won’t make any sales as you have mentioned above. A couple years ago I had no idea how to make money with Clickbank or with any affiliate program until I found Wealthy Affiliate.
There is a multitude of low-quality products on there as well and you really do need to be careful what you promote on there as well.
Wealthy Affiliate offers step by step training on how to build an affiliate marketing business. You can apply their training to absolutely any affiliate program. This includes Clickbank, Amazon, Best Buy, Target or the thousands of other vendors online. If you truly would like to master the art of being successful online then I would highly suggest you check them out.
You can get started for FREE here with absolutely no risk. Test drive the entire program before investing any money whatsoever. I will be there to help you out every step of the way and answer any questions you may have. I do want to thank you for stopping by Ivette and sharing your experience with Clickbank with everyone here.
PS: Do more than try and hope you make sales, get trained in the proper way and take action on what you learn.
Make It Happen Ivette!!
I really am looking forward to working with you
I hope to talk to you soon

Great article it’s now easier to make money on clickbank with there own online affiliate training network with their top affiliates. I joined a few weeks ago. Clickbank is my #1 source of income and this post really has helped me out. I will follow your advice so that I can double my earnings with clickbank.
Keep up the great work!
Scott Newkirk
Hi Adam,
Yea I’m actually getting ready to do a review about Clickbank University. There’s lots of potential with Clickbank, but you also need to be careful what products you’re promoting. There’re lots of low-quality products on there and some that’s not worth your time. If you follow these tips that I have laid out for you above, you should be able to filter through all the junk and find the quality programs that offer the most value.
Thanks so much for stopping by Adam and sharing your experience with Clickbank with everyone here today.
Cheers,
Your Friend, Scott

I’ve been online marketing for 2 years and haven’t really used clickbank yet. This is mostly because nothing it offered was relevant to my first website (within the fashion niche), but also because I heard so much talk about how horrible the marketplace was. However I have been thinking recently I may want to reinvestigate the whole CB market and see if I can dig up anything of value to promote within a new niche. Do you use it to promote products within the IM niche or something else?
Thanks the the very thourough walkthrough of this topic of clickbank, I definitely can back you on your training recommendation… it’s most excellent! : )
Scott Newkirk
Hi Wendy,
I have been doing internet marketing for close to 2 years and this is my first time making money with Clickbank. I admit the marketplace does have lots of low quality products on it. You do have to do lots of digging to find some legit products, but trust me there are some on there.
Most of the products in the IM niche is no good. The money I have made here was in another niche and I just setup a test site to see how long it would take it to make money. I am promoting a few Clickbank products in the IM niche but I haven’t made any money from them yet.
Thanks so much for dropping by Wendy and sharing your thoughts on Clickbank with everyone here.
I wish you lots of continued success online.

Hey Scott.
I’ve always been interested in Clickbank; however, I really have a tough time finding high quality products to promote. I do product reviews in the “money making” niche on my website and I would say that 95% of the “money making” products on Clickbank are trash.
It makes it really easy to promote higher quality products, but at the same time it would be nice to come across more products that are actually high quality and that I would feel comfortable promoting on my website.
Have you come across this in your experience using Clickbank?
Dustin
Scott Newkirk
Hi Dustin,
There is a bunch of low quality and in some cases crap on Clickbank. I agree with you that 95% of the products in the make money online niche is trash. You do have to dig really deep to find products that are high quality. As you seen in my post I did manage to find a few good ones.
As I was doing my research I found some decent products to promote, but they were in another niche. At least if I would happen to start up a new niche site I would have a few good products to start out with. It is possible to make money with Clickbank as I have shown you some of my earnings with them so far.
I would give them another chance Dustin and see what you come up with. It’s always nice to add another income source to your multiple streams of income. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts about Clickbank. If you need any help finding legit products to promote, let me know. I would love to help you out with this.
To your continued success
Your Friend Scott
Neil
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Clickbank and there’s some awesome tips here, Scott. I mainly recommend Amazon and CJ products, but after reading your article, I will definitely take Clickbank in to consideration.
I would certainly love some free training on mastering clickbank and I will be following your recommendation 🙂
Can I really achieve financial freedom through promoting Clickbank products?
Cheers, Neil
Scott Newkirk
Hi Neil,
I’m glad this has helped you understand just exactly how Clickbank works and hopefully it has inspired you to check into it further. Even though there are tons of low quality products on the marketplace you shouldn’t look over this. With the right amount of research and digging you could definitely add this as another reliable source of passive income.
With plenty of hard work and dedication you really can achieve financial freedom through Clickbank alone. If you need any help finding the right products to promote or need my help with anything let me know and I would be more then happy to help you out man.
Thanks so much for stopping by Neil and chiming in on this discussion.
