“Hi my name is Miles Baker. I had heard about other people making money online and I was really intrigued by the idea. I made numerous short-lived attempts in the process, I came across Clickbank in 2001, I received a check in my mailbox from Clickbank for $7.38…it was the first time ever in my life that I had received any kind of residual income. My mind totally started racing of all the possibilities of what I could do… if I really applied myself few years later I was marketing with Clickbank full-time I’d quit my job and I was receiving checks for over $10,000 every two weeks
You know what is funny? Right now as I go to WA to get the info for my site, some of it has changed. The ENTIRE site has been wiped out and replaced. I guess WA DELETED it or domain shield did. I do not have ANY of my products on it. It was not even a valid link the last time I went to open it. Now it DOES open and shows a damn flower pot. It shows WA servers holding it again at the WA site which I changed several times to the BLUE HOST servers and Enom told them to LEAVE alone and in 10 days they would automatically lock in or something of the sort but of course that did not work either.
If you want to sell your own digital products, CBU is a great choice, but I don’t recommend you purchase everything Clickbank wants you to buy. As is typical of this type of company, they start you off with one product, then continually add things during the “upsell” process, so your final price becomes way higher than you expected. Keep reading for details on what to NOT buy from them if you go with CBU.
If you purchase Thrive Architect this plugin alone, it’ll be a one-time fee. However, there’s an option for you to purchase their membership which allows you to gain access to all Thrive plugins and themes (this is a very good deal in my opinion). In this case, it will be either a quarterly fee or a yearly fee depending on your choice. Thrive Themes does provide a lot of training and support to help its customers so don’t worry that you don’t have the technical skill to use it. It’s all drag and drop. They make it so simple that anyone can handle it.
WA gives you two sites that uses sublinks. When I say sub-links I mean that they make you go into their servers of (for example as I can’t remember their links off the top of my head as I use so many now) say http://www.whatsiteisit.mysite.wealthyaffiliate.com or something like that where it gets routed somewhere before it goes to your site as you are using their main link and it is rerouted to you through them.
I was also a full-time procrastinator just like you but one day I finally thought that I have to do something now. Starting out something is the worst part. Some days were good, some were bad. But at last, you will learn something. Now I am earning a full-time income just as an affiliate. Things will take time my friend but firstly you have to take action.
There is nothing wrong with that because I am also an Affiliate and have launched only 1 product in which I was the 3rd partner lol. So it’s totally upon you. But there will be some people who will definitely try this because it is powerful stuff. It’s great for creating a customer base or email and list and then promoting relevant products to them.
First of all, I’m not saying you MUST host your website at ClickBank. But if you’ve started building website using their Builder tool, it’s hard for you to move it somewhere else, not because they hold “hostage” to your website. It’s because the contents are built in such a way that it can only be shown properly using their Builder. When you move your website to somewhere else, you have to spend a lot of time re-doing all the content to make it look visually appealing. You get my point here? This is just like many other content/page builders. Once you stop using the plugin, your content is no longer readable.
Email them and ask if they'll promote it. You'll be surprised! It does help if they know who you are first, but this is easy enough to do. Follow them online, Re-Tweet their stuff, comment on their FB and Twitter posts and add VALUE. Once you've done this for a week or two and they know you a bit, it's much easier to get them to promote for you! 🙂
“I got really excited to find CB University a few months ago because one of my dreams this year was to create my own products instead of just promoting other people’s products. I’m glad to say that I’ve been taking action on my own product and I’m on my way to work on releasing my own new product very soon. Thank you Justin and Adam for what you guys do. Very inspirational to see both of you create a platform like this to help other people live their dreams. That’s exactly what I ultimately want to do as well. Taking that step one step at a time. Thank you!”
Sadly, it has and still IS going on. When I finally decided to leave WA and not renew at the roughly $400 gold member membership price, WA changed the websites email holder to no longer for example to be mike@lovelightsllc.com but to mike@domainshield.com. I have had several agencies contact the owners of WA to rectify this plan and I have even been emailed directly saying that they have “fixed the problem”.

Clickbank University (CBU) has some pretty good affiliate training, but not my #1 choice. I’ve been doing this stuff for almost a decade now. If you want to be an affiliate and build affiliate websites, then you are better off learning about that stuff from this affiliate training center. They’ve been around for 15 years, and have produced thousands of success stories (some of which I’ve personally mentored, since 2012).
I’m anxious to share this with others and I would encourage anybody that has any interest knowing how to start selling products or just helping others sell their product being an affiliate to be able to hook up with Justin because he’s going to change your life. Thank You Justin, thank you for being so humble and so sincere your humility is astonishing and I greatly admire you.”

As for being OVERLY positive, as you said, I don’t really get that ‘feeling’ when browsing their site. I expected to ‘see’ them ‘shouting from the rooftops’ about how awesome CB University is (based on your comment), but didn’t really get that feeling. It just felt to me like they were trying too hard to come off a real review, despite it clearly not being one.

This is a new product that you will learn of after you join CBU training. It’s a professional drag-and-drop tool for creating landing pages, websites and offer pages. The catch 22 with this tool is it costs a hefty $594. You can pay this in two installments of $297 and since it comes with advantages such as ability to integrate with ClickBank you may consider purchasing it.
