It is a series of online training courses primarily focused on teaching both vendors and affiliate marketers how to use Clickbank to promote digital products. Newbies can also learn how to become affiliate marketers from scratch. The classes are given over an 8-week period and information is mainly disseminated using videos. The company was created in 2013 and upgraded to version 2.0 in 2016.
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 I’ve had reservations since day one as the information seems outdated.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.
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.
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.
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.
As you may or may not know, to transfer a site you need to get the EPP code and then point the servers at the new host. The NEW host is then to send you a validation code that is ONLY accepted at the website email address to which is taken over by domainshield.com. Since THEY hold access to that email. I am locked out of the website. I cannot verify their validation code. I cannot point the servers at the site. I contacted WA again, now, there is no response.

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.

​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! 🙂
Clickbank University is a good product that's worth the monthly membership cost of $47/month. I think that for someone looking to create and promote their own digital info product through Clickbank, this is probably going to be your best investment. If you are an “expert” in something and want to make money off of your knowledge, now's the time to start!
