Do You Know Why Most ClickBank Affiliates Fail?

Do you know why most ClickBank affiliates fail?

So you've made your first sale. Happy ? Motivated ? Of course. Now for the bad news. Getting a sale does not mean you get paid. The first reason (easily solved) is that you need to meet a payment threshold before you get paid.

By default ClickBank sets this at $100. So what you can do is lower it if you wish, you can go as low as $10 but be aware that $2.50 is deducted for each check payment to you.

Note also that payment is only sent at pay period end time which is every 2 weeks. You need to have received 3 pay checks before you can opt for direct deposit and receive payment every week.

But it's the second reason that is the BIG one. In my experience it's one of the most common complaints at my forum and others. Before getting paid you need to need to meet the Customer Distribution Requirement.

You can read the full detail in ClickBank's Accounting Policy but here is the essential bit. In compliance with US law, ClickBank will withhold payment of any account balance until the following criteria is met:

* Sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers and * Sales made with two different payment methods (either Visa, MasterCard, or PayPal). Note: PayPal purchases do not count toward the minimum 5 different credit card numbers.

What this means is - at the very best - you are going to NEED FIVE SALES BEFORE YOU GET PAID. Feeling frustrated ?

Well it get's worse. Let me tell you about 'dormant' accounts. Accounts with a positive balance but no earnings for an extended period of time are considered dormant.

Dormant accounts are subject to a charge of $1 per pay period after 90 days of inactivity, $5 per pay period after 180 days of inactivity, and $15 per pay period after 365 days of inactivity. So you could hit lucky on your first day as an affiliate, earn a big commission ( the maximum possible is $100) then wait and wait for at least 4 more sales before you can get hold of your earnings.

Meanwhile after 3 months of no sales deductions begin chipping away at your account. Are you then surprised why newbies struggling to make sales become disillusioned and start to quit ? Over 90% of ClickBank affiliates are INACTIVE.

But here's how we are going to solve this problem. The solution Obviously if you could make some quick easy sales of something, anything - which need not even be your selected product niche - then you will be able to meet the Customer Distribution Requirement, become eligible to receive your first check and soon get the 3 checks allowing you to move to direct debit - which then means weekly payment and no more waiting for the postman to deliver your check.

So our problem would be solved if you could offer customers an affiliate product which is so highly desirable and attractive that it will be a no-brainer for them to purchase.

Well there is such a product. It's a product aimed at ClickBank newbies. It solves their biggest problem. It's incredibly cheap. It's a package which costs just 3 dollars ! That is the minimum sale price for a ClickBank product.

This is a brilliant idea to help you keep your ClickBank account active and not pay the per period charge for inactivity! Get your free ebook: ClickBank for Newbies, Click here.
