From: Tim CoulterDate: Friday, April 30, 2004
If you feel frustrated at the performance of your ClickBank business, you are not alone. Perhaps you see yourself in one of these common predicaments …
- Confused by all the conflicting advice circulating in the online forums
- Bewildered by the ever-growing range of “essential” ClickBank add-ons
- Frustrated by being unable to get ClickBank to work the way you want it to
- Fearful that your profits are being stolen
- Anxious that your business is falling behind its competitors
- Suspicious that ClickBank’s technology will leave your business high and dry
But, like so many other ClickBank users, I very soon began to see its limitations. It was this experience that got me started on my mission to understand the whole story.
Your massive book occupied me for two days of solid reading. I shudder to think at the amount of work involved in producing it - the presentation and accuracy is outstanding.

But I hate to tell you this, you could have scrapped the whole book and simply offered the bonuses - a multitude of tools to help us get the best out of ClickBank. These alone would be a best seller - as undoubtedly your magnificent book will be.

A key factor in ClickBank’s appeal is the simplicity with which it enables net marketers to create professional ecommerce businesses without spending a fortune on software, services and expertise. Even a rookie marketer can launch a net business using ClickBank with relative ease.
But, as with most inventions that achieve cult popularity, ClickBank’s users have steadily stretched the boundaries of its capabilities to gain ever-greater levels of performance from their net enterprises. The result is that what started as a beautifully simple idea is becoming the province of the tech-savvy, hard-nosed netrepreneur.
To make matters worse, there are almost as many different ways of using ClickBank as there are members. The ClickBank community is just too diverse and innovative for a single standardized approach:
- Some members are merchants; others are affiliates or resellers. Many mix two or three of these roles.
- Some members operate a single ClickBank account; others use several.
- Some merchants sell just one product; others sell dozens or even hundreds.
- Some merchants use multiple websites; others integrate their online presence.
- Some merchants use affiliates to promote their businesses; others do it themselves.
- Some affiliates have their own websites; others choose email, ebooks or PPC.
- Some affiliates work with a range of affiliate networks; others are dedicated to ClickBank.
- Some members are technical wizards; others need a little help from their friends.
With so many complications, there really isn’t a simple “one size fits all” explanation of how to set up and use a ClickBank account - especially if you want to squeeze out every last ounce of profit.
And as web technology relentlessly extends the limits of possibility, ClickBank’s original “vanilla flavor” design falls further and further behind. The result is that innovative marketers and developers are continually creating ever more extreme add-ons to keep the ClickBank community at the cutting edge. Did you know that there are now more than 30 software products dedicated to enhancing your ClickBank business effectiveness?
It’s great news if you can keep pace with these developments. But if, like the majority of ClickBank members, you rely on ClickBank’s own published advice to guide your business strategy, you’re in danger of getting stuck in the crawler lane.
In contrast to its competitors, ClickBank makes little effort to proactively educate or support its users. Most members can’t remember the last time they received an email message (other than a sales notification) from ClickBank. And the company’s website offers little more than basic technical information - hardly an approach that will inspire you to achieve your best.
Whether we like it or not, the ClickBank community is separating into two groups - those with the know-how to get ahead and those who trail behind. As the knowledge gap widens, the choice is clear. You’re either one of the “haves” or the “have nots”.
