Are There Any Affiliate Network Like Clickbank?

Jojo83 · Dec 14, 2014

Hello everyone, I'm new in the world of affiliate marketing. I want to get the most out of it. I would like to know from you guys if there are some affiliate programs/network that are easy to register to like Clickbank. An affiliate network that doesn't have strict requirements like having your own website or blog, just all in all just easy to get into. Also one that pays with paypal and is open worldwide because I'm from the Philippines. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated. Thanks.

I'm much more of a fan of CPA offers, which stands for Cost Per Action. This means you'll get paid for every action a potential customer makes, such as signing up for promos and programs, buying coupons, etc. and I think getting people to do these is much easier than getting them to buy whole products. That's just my opinion though and if you're interested then just search for it on Google and the top results are usually reputable companies of this industry.

Ok thanks, that's a good suggestion. I'm new to these terms like CPA, etc. I think with clickbank you have to make a sale, I don't know what it's called. CPA offers are better overall based on what I have learned here.

The closest one that I've come across is called RapBank. They are very similar to CLickbank, but the products don't look quite as good and there isn't as good of a selection as there is with Clickbank. I'm pretty sure that they offer instant payments too, so once someone has bought from you it will appear in your PayPal account.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it and it's nice to know that they pay with paypal.

Yeah, I haven't used the personally, because I didn't like any of the products that they had listed, but that was about 2 years ago, so maybe it has changed a fair bit. Who knows?

Yes, with Clickbank you'd need a sale of a book or product to get the commission whereas I think with CPA offers you could get paid with just sign ups and other similar actions by potential customers. They are very similar industries, from what I understand, but I think signing up with CLA companies require for you to do a phone interview first.

The big drawback with Clickbank is that if you get a sale, you won't see that money for a while because they have something called CDR (I think), which basically means that you have to get 5 sales, from 5 different forms of payment (paypal, visa, etc) to be able to get your first check.

Oh really, I didn't know that. They didn't mention it in their website, maybe hidden in some fine print somewhere.

Anyway, so it's really a lot harder to get your first check through clickbank. More reason to look for better affiliate networks.

It's there, but it doesn't stick out. I knew about it at the time, because a lot of people were complaining about it, but I didn't think it would be a big problem. I think once I got my fourth sale, I basically wrote an email to support and asked them when my funds would be released. They replied back saying that I'd have my check sent on the next payment date, so it may be worth a shot to try that.
