ClickBank University

ClickBank University Overview

We’ve all heard about ClickBank, it’s one of the most popular marketplaces for affiliates and product creators on the internet. There are hundreds of stories of people who are making huge amounts of cash with ClickBank products. I think we can say for sure that ClickBank is not a scam. It’s a marketplace where people can advertise their products and collect affiliates for their products. It has a good reputation and has paid out around $2.5 billion to it’s affiliates.

But does that mean each ClickBank product is legitimate?

Unfortunately, no, it does not.

There are a lot of sketchy products that are published on ClickBank and grow in traction due to one reason: high affiliate fees. In other words, the creator of the product allows affiliates to receive a large portion of the total price of the product if they promote the product. It doesn’t necessarily matter if the product is useful, as long as the affiliate is making cash, he’ll continue with his marketing. Sadly most marketers don’t test a product before they start to promote it. That can lead to a lot of problems further on down the road.

ClickBank University is ClickBank’s attempt to create a step-by-step course that’ll teach marketers how to earn money with ClickBank. It was created by Adam Horwitz and Justin Atlan. It teaches people how to create info products, sell them, create squeeze pages, collect affiliates, build lists, and more.

You’ll also learn how to create products that can be published on ClickBank for maximum revenue. There are hundreds of training videos within the members area, but unfortunately, most of the modules are locked, unless the full package is purchased, which costs $800. On the other hand, the training videos that are available are quite informative and easy to follow.

Can the same information be found elsewhere?

Maybe.

Let’s take a look at ClickBank University’s Pros and Cons.

ClickBank University Pros vs Cons.

Let’s start with the pros.

Pros:

• Good training material. Covers lots of topics such as how to create a product, how to research a product, how to generate product ideas, etc.

• Simplifies the process of creating products.• They’re active on social media.• Lots of videos for people who want to follow each step.• $1 for 7 day trial (though a lot of the modules are locked).• You can place comments under each video.• Teaches how to create residual income from products by recruiting affiliates.• Once the full membership is purchased there are no more up-sells.• University Talks. Watch videos and interviews of top ClickBank marketers.

Cons:

• High price for full membership. Out of the price range of most people.• The system locks videos that it believe you shouldn’t view. In other words, it attempts to

make it difficult for people to become overloaded with information which is common when it comes to working online. But this system makes it difficult for experienced marketers to skip to the sections that they’re unfamiliar with.

• It only teaches members how to sell ClickBank products.• The support is a little weak. Seems like the staff doesn’t respond to emails and questions in a

timely fashion.• The community is inactive.• You can’t skip the introduction video.• So as you can probably tell from reading through the list of pros and cons, the product is not

terrible. But it’s also not that special. The main problem that I have with ClickBank University is the price. I wouldn’t want to hand over $800 for training that I probably already know. If I didn’t know how to create a business, I could learn how to do from this website, for free.

Who is ClickBank University Intended For?

Well, the sales video claims it’s for anyone who wants to create a legitimate business online. But it seems like most programs are targeting the same group of people. It’s another course that teaches people how to make a business from scratch. It’s mainly designed for people who want to create cash through email lists which are created with squeeze pages.

There’s a lot of cash to be made with email marketing and it’s not a bad idea to start building a list of your own. But is it necessary to hand over $800 to learn how to do that?

I don’t think so.

In fact, I can learn how to do all of that for free, it’s not that complicated.

But I guess if you have enough cash and you’re interested in building an online business, ClickBank University might be the right choice for you. Unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of cash to spend on new programs.
