Six Compelling Reasons to Sell Ebooks on Clickbank
Clickbank.com has paid out nearly $2 Billion to online business owners just like you in the last 10 years – and that number is growing fast. Yet, for a lot of marketers, Clickbank has a bad rap. I\’d like to spend the next 2 minutes showing you why you absolutely should sell your ebook on Clickbank.
Who does this article apply to?
* If you\’re currently selling your product with a simple paypal button. Consider switching to Clickbank.
* If you have a shopping cart (like 1ShoppingCart.com) that you\’re using to sell your products. Consider also setting up a separate page or URL where you sell your product on Clickbank.
Here\’s why…
Diversification of your Payments
You may not be aware of this, but PayPal.com has been known to “freeze” accounts while looking into them after they\’ve been flagged by one of their employees. While Paypal.com is a trusted company, they do have to watch out for their own interests.
So, if this happens to you, your account will not be accessible during that time. That means you can\’t withdraw money, you can\’t pay affiliates, and you can\’t process refunds. You\’re stuck.
I don\’t know about you, but I have bills to pay – which is why I recommend that you also sell products via a secondary payment method like Clickbank. They pay via direct deposit into your Checking account every 2 weeks, like clockwork. If, heaven forbid, your account gets flagged by Paypal – you\’ll be able to pay your mortgage while getting it cleared.
Less Book-Keeping
With Clickbank, you get paid weekly or when you reach a certain dollar amount that you\’ve set. That means that you can pay less in accounting fees – because you\’ll have a maximum of FOUR transactions per month, assuming you\’re getting paid weekly.
Compare that to using a paypal button or shopping cart – where every single transaction has to be entered by your bookkeeper – and you can see the advantage.
100,000 + Sales Force
Yes, Clickbank has the eye of over 100,000 registered affiliate niche marketers in 145 countries. Many of these affiliate search the Clickbank marketplace first when looking for products to promote. If you\’re not listed there, they can\’t find you.
Clickbank\’s HopAds Program
You may be familiar with Google Adsense, but, did you know that Clickbank also has an advertising program? As a vendor, you can create Ads that automatically show on affiliate websites – based upon keywords.
So, if your ebook is about “Saving Money on Groceries” and someone with a frugal or homemaking site puts the HopAd on their site with keywords “grocery” or “save money” – your ad may display in rotation with the other ads – as long as that ad is live on their site.
Hands Off Affiliate Management
If you\’re using your own shopping cart like 1ShoppingCart.com then you have to manage your affiliates or hire someone to do so. While this is definitely a profitable thing to do, some tasks can be a nuisance, like collecting W-9 forms (if you\’re in the United States) for taxes.
If you sell through Clickbank, that\’s not an issue. They handle it for you.
Affiliate Payment Safety Cushion
If you\’re selling your products through your own shopping cart, then every month, you have to make sure to keep a “cushion” in your paypal account so that you have enough money to pay them.
That\’s not an issue with Clickbank. You ONLY receive your profits after affiliates have been paid. And, Clickbank handles paying them for you. You\’re totally out of the loop.
There you have it. Six reasons why you should consider putting your ebook on Clickbank for sale.
