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”.
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.
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.
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. :-)
Plus: The creators want to help you stay motivated all the way so when you reach the end of the ClickBank University 2.0 program…. when you work your way through all the videos, the training, the exercises and qualified for your certification, The creators will ship you a valuable little bonus and I think you’re gonna love it…. it’s a physical hard copy of “Gary Vaynerchuk’s” brand new best seller “Askgaryvee” .
This is a new product that you will learn of after you join CBU training. It’s a professional drag-and-drop tool for creating landing pages, websites and offer pages. The catch 22 with this tool is it costs a hefty $594. You can pay this in two installments of $297 and since it comes with advantages such as ability to integrate with ClickBank you may consider purchasing it.
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.
It CAN be worked with the basics but it will take you a long time to get them working using a host sublinked website and just 2 before you have to pay for your domains which one should want to do even for the 1st two so you do not have the long sublink. I wouldn’t buy from a sublink. I would think it is a trap or a “sneaky” website more so than a “trusted” dot com site. That is why it is ALWAYS worth paying the $11.99 or $12.99 for the domain registration, for the MILLIONS of people like me in the computer security field.
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.
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.
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!
