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.
My #1 Tip, no matter WHAT you do online, CBU or otherwise: Stick with it, don't just jump around from one method to another if you don't find success right away. It took me a good YEAR to get my first Affiliate sale, but I also wasn't following any particular training, and was just jumping around from method to method....so I do have a bit of experience there and know what i'm talking about. :-)
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!
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.
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…..
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 just completed week 8 after spending about 30 minutes every other day and $47 to digest this affiliate marketing thing. I’ve had reservations since day one as the information seems outdated. Everything your review mentions is true. My own research on their claims back it up as I’m skeptical by nature. Before I took the next step and spend another $500 I decided to dig a little deeper and found your blog and am so glad I did. Their niches suck, and amazingly their number one popular product to market is Clickbank! the second most popular is the dog training Adam keeps mentioning in the affiliate path.
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.
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!
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.
This is a useful resource for most tools you’ll need to your online business successfully. Some of these are: social media tools, Email Service Provider (ESP) and your website domain. Ordinarily you could just search Google and you’ll arrive at different vendors for these, but the advantage of using the links in the CBU toolkit is you’ll be able to purchase from legit vendors at a friendlier price.
