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.
Both of these trainings are given by gurus who have sold products worth thousands, maybe millions of dollars on Clickbank. But I guess once you become a veteran you become more of a resource for intermediates and less for beginners. That’s why vendors will really appreciate this course as they’ll be able to acquire lots of insider skills and knowledge. This course is also given on a weekly step-by-step basis through videos and “carry home” PDFs.
You can use this skill to help other businesses drive customers to their business. It’s kind of like affiliate marketing, but is often a lot more hands-off and easier to manage. Even though I didn’t want to really create my own products, the information in the vendor section covering ad copy and sales video was critical to becoming a proficient lead generation specialist.
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.
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.
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”.
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!
Wealthy Affiliate never lock any website. As long as you have purchased your own domain name, it’s yours 100%. For hosting, WA doesn’t charge any additional charge for web hosting. It’s included in the membership price which I mentioned earlier on. If you’re referring to the domain name, one domain name costs around $14 to $16 per year. So I really don’t know what’s the expensive hosting you’re talking about.
I have to say that they have covered pretty much everything that you should know as an affiliate. They call it an 8-week program but it will take more than 3 weeks because the videos are 5 – 15 min long and very accurate and to the point. But do not rush the horse and take your time in completing this training. Go through each video and take notes.

“Hi I’m Andrea founder of bikinibutt.com and I am a huge fan of Clickbank. Clickbank has allowed me to create products that have helped hundreds of thousands of women to lose weight and get a great butt and they also are so reliable….they take part of my business and growing my business and I know that I can count on them month after month which allows me to just focus on what I love to do.
The weekly live Q&A webinar is done by Adam and Justin where they answer members questions and help them solve their problems. The webinars are also recorded so that other members that missed it can watch it anytime they want. This is a good platform for members to seek advice and get instant feedback from professionals as the session is done live.
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.

In case you’re someone who is absolutely clueless about digital marketing and clickbank marketing, you can always use the 8-week and 12-week training programs to their full potential. The live weekly sessions will clarify your doubts about anything and everything pertaining to marketing. While the first two weeks elucidate on ideas that you can use for creating new products, the following weeks offer you the necessary insight on setting up your very own sales page and landing page. The fourth and fifth weeks are relevant in helping you explain how your visitors can transform to potential buyers, while the sixth week focuses more on helping you build a proper email list. Finally, the 7th week will give you valuable insights on how you can get your product approved in the specific marketplace where you are selling it on the first place and in 8th week you’ll get to know how you can collaborate with other vendors.
Well, what I liked most about this training is the detailing they have given in their videos. They are just to the point. The vendor and affiliate sections are both so perfectly created and are very beginner-friendly. The product creation, graphic creation, and email marketing sections are so perfectly inlined and very easy to grasp. The last traffic module will help you to understand the basics of traffic generation that will help you in growing any business. The avatar creation part in the course where they teach you about finding your right audience is the core element of any business that everyone should have to learn.

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.

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.
