Clickbank University (CBU) has some pretty good affiliate training, but not my #1 choice. I’ve been doing this stuff for almost a decade now. If you want to be an affiliate and build affiliate websites, then you are better off learning about that stuff from this affiliate training center. They’ve been around for 15 years, and have produced thousands of success stories (some of which I’ve personally mentored, since 2012).
_{If you purchase Thrive Architect this plugin alone, it’ll be a one-time fee. However, there’s an option for you to purchase their membership which allows you to gain access to all Thrive plugins and themes (this is a very good deal in my opinion). In this case, it will be either a quarterly fee or a yearly fee depending on your choice. Thrive Themes does provide a lot of training and support to help its customers so don’t worry that you don’t have the technical skill to use it. It’s all drag and drop. They make it so simple that anyone can handle it.}
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.
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.

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!

I’m anxious to share this with others and I would encourage anybody that has any interest knowing how to start selling products or just helping others sell their product being an affiliate to be able to hook up with Justin because he’s going to change your life. Thank You Justin, thank you for being so humble and so sincere your humility is astonishing and I greatly admire you.”

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 was also a full-time procrastinator just like you but one day I finally thought that I have to do something now. Starting out something is the worst part. Some days were good, some were bad. But at last, you will learn something. Now I am earning a full-time income just as an affiliate. Things will take time my friend but firstly you have to take action.
“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
_{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” .}
I DO know Wealthy Affiliates first-hand as I WAS a member for 1 year. I used 3 websites through them and I was successful BEHIND the scenes with networking and connecting with people but there I did not get the help I needed or wanted. It wasn’t like I did not reach out to others either but the worst part of being there is right now over a year later.
​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 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.
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.

If you want to sell your own digital products, CBU is a great choice, but I don’t recommend you purchase everything Clickbank wants you to buy. As is typical of this type of company, they start you off with one product, then continually add things during the “upsell” process, so your final price becomes way higher than you expected. Keep reading for details on what to NOT buy from them if you go with CBU.

The program at Clickbank University was created after 17 years of research and taking the experience form Clickbank. As already said, Clickbank is a leading marketplace for digital products. It has paid out over 3 billion dollars in commission to date and sold 300 million plus digital products. So it’s safe to say that it’s good resource for designing a training course.
