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.
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.
“Hi my name is Miles Baker. I had heard about other people making money online and I was really intrigued by the idea. I made numerous short-lived attempts in the process, I came across Clickbank in 2001, I received a check in my mailbox from Clickbank for $7.38…it was the first time ever in my life that I had received any kind of residual income. My mind totally started racing of all the possibilities of what I could do… if I really applied myself few years later I was marketing with Clickbank full-time I’d quit my job and I was receiving checks for over $10,000 every two weeks
_{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.}
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…..
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.

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!

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”.
4) For your last question, I’m not sure what’s the “Wealthy Academy” or “WH Academy” you’re talking about. I suppose you’re talking about Wealthy Affiliate? Anyway, I understand that you’re looking for a place to get a basic step-by-step training to help you get started on doing the real thing. So, I do recommend you to sign up with Wealthy Affiliate. It’s a platform which will provide you with step-by-step training from scratch, teaching you how to set up your own website, things like that. It’s Free to get started, so I’ll see you in the community soon!
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.
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.

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.
I have to say that they have covered pretty much everything that you should know as an affiliate.

_{While each of these features seems equally attractive, the Clickbank Builder Tool 2.0 truly stands out from the rest. This tool is particularly useful since it helps you in creating professional websites, offer pages as well as landing pages. The tool follows a drag-and-drop format and comes with several in-built templates that assist you in creating beautiful pages.}

I’m sure there are some misconception because it’s impossible to no getting help in Wealthy Affiliate. If you have issue with your website, WA’s 24/7 Site Support team will respond to you pretty fast. Most of the time within a couple of minutes. If you have other issues, Kyle and Carson are there to help as well despite it may take a longer time for them to reply.
_{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.}
