Hey, I love this article thanks! I’m a complete novice and have found it very confusing with all the options on courses and opinions about them. I really like the look of ClickBank University but I can’t decide on it because of the price. I understand it has a ton of features but because I’m worried I’ll take too long learning and not all the modules are available to me immediately, resulting in me over-spending or losing interest. After reading your review I can see how good it is and it’s worth the money but then again in this review they love ClickBank University a bit too much, so not sure if they are just saying it’s great (link removed by editor). I would love an honest opinion from someone who has used it build a successful business and whether I actually need all the bells and whistles just to get started?? Thanks Jim, appreciate your help!


Like I already mentioned, this program comes with a detailed walkthrough for educating newbies about clickbank marketing and affiliate marketing. It includes 8-week training program on affiliate marketing, a 12-week training program for vendors, live weekly sessions with founders, a private support group on facebook, the clickbank builder and the clickbank builder toolkit.
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.

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.
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.
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 did nothing wrong for the transfer of my site. I am well educated in the use of these systems. I HAD Kyle email me and say it would be forwarded but it never came to me. He never responded back to me when I told him that. In fact, he never responded to me in the first place. He responded to Enom when they went to him. Support tells you this as a non member (copy and paste.. like just about everything else)

“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!”

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. :-)​

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”.
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.

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.
But believe me, they don’t know shit about what they are talking about. They don’t even know what is inside that training program that they are promoting. They just want you to buy that crap so that they can make money from your pocket. Stay away from those scams. Because if anything is bad, then the seller will lure you with discounts, offers, and bonuses.
First of all, I have been with WA for years and I’am getting good results. So you definitely have no rights to say that I’m misinformed or anything like that. Just because you had some problems for your site in WA, it doesn’t mean WA has the full responsibility for it. I’ll explain later. But to be honest, I must say you’re the one that’s misinformed.

​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 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.
