I saw a webinar a few years ago with ClickBank University and to tell you the truth I was very impressed. But like you said what I realized was that they are really expensive. Nevertheless, many members have said how ClickBank has made them some really good money. I agree with you, the Wealthy Affiliate University platform has the best online training by far.
I purchased Clickbank Builder, unfortunately, a while back ago. They promised that certain templates for different niches were “coming soon” and that you could build “unlimited membership sites. They added only about 1 or 2 new templates in the past 240 days since I purchased it and there is no way to build a membership site. Since I am passed 30 days, they won’t refund me, nor have they directly answered my statement about not delivering on a product they are marketing. Scandalous!
I only have one comment, the only website/theme platform I trust is Optimize Press, been using it for many years and have made awesome Landing and sales pages with the system to me NOTE: this is just my experience because I dedicated 3 different domain over the years with of course several Products promoted under these domains to each of my Childrens College Fund just to have some type of Transparent, meaning Truthful Experience and The success blew my wife and I away “OptimizePress and Wishlist Members are well kept secrets and the new upgrades and integrations are awesome I have no link to share why because This is just me trying to share a Blessing remember that anything you Do Starts with Belief and as Your Belief Grows Your Faith Grows and then the Blessings come in multitudes “FAITH-FAMILY-FINANCE” In That Order…..
“Hey there, my name is Mike, Clickbank University has provided the most value for the least amount of my money invested of anything that I can recall in years I would say, my favorite part was probably the webinars where I could actually pose my questions to the instructors and get custom specific answers to my questions oh that’s just been invaluable as well as very enjoyable you know if you’re feeling a little uncertain…. well I’m not very tech savvy or I haven’t sold anything online…. if you’ve got the interest and the determination, then, yes you can succeed via Clickbank using Clickbank University’s lessons and instruction it’s really up to you”
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.
If you have heard about ClickBank University and are wondering what it is all about, then you are already on the right track. “Clickbank” is one of the largest and most popular affiliate networks. Firstly I suggest that you join Clickbank if you haven’t already, because it’s totally free. But Clickbank University is not free, it is a training community that helps you to achieve success as a vendor and/or affiliate.
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.

Another feature that definitely makes the cut is the CBU toolkit. Although you’re required to pay some extra money for it, the tool seems to be worth the value since it lets you access all the necessary resources for fully running a working website. Some of these tools include the email service provider tool, tools for social media marketing and so on.

I came across this ClickBank university, recently during the summer of 2017. I am not sure if it was the updated version but, I am glad you reviewed this product. I almost signed up with them, thinking that they would actually provided answers to building a business. For some reason, I changed my mind. Probably because, I knew it had a catch to it somewhere. And, after reading this article. I can clearly see why I did not sign up.
3) For the bank account, I don’t think it’s necessary to set up a business account or something. I’m not really familiar with the banking system and the rule just yet. But a lot of my friends are doing well with normal bank accounts if I’m not wrong. Anyway, most of the time, your affiliate commission will be paid to your PayPal account first. After that, you can then transfer it to your own bank account if you need the money.
So, this is all you need to start a successful affiliate marketing business. Literally, that’s all I have to say. What CBU will not give you is Experience and you will only get that if you take action now. Yes, this is your real problem that you do not take action. I have already told you that this Affiliate Training program is best for you but you are still procrastinating.
Summary: ClickBank University 2.0 has a solid course with useful tools to help people create their own digital products, market it on ClickBank and make money. They also have a set of course to guide people in affiliate marketing but the information is limited and outdated. In addition, CBU has a high-ticket upsell which they did not reveal to you upfront. So, take note of that!
