ClickBank University 2.0 Review (What they don’t reveal to you upfront!)

Very interesting article :)…… is good to have better knowledge after reading your opinion about CB ?
Thanks

Hi Jerry. I’m from the Philippines but I live in Korea. I’m very interested in affiliate marketing. Do you think WA can help me get started and help me earn comissions even though I’m living in Asia? What I’m saying is I don’t really have a lot of connections outside Asia so I was wondering if affiliate marketing is for me. Thanks!

I am from India and I have already made an account in Wealthy Affiliate but the problem is:
“Hi Henry, Free Starter accounts are not available in your country, but we would love to have you as a Premium Member!”
I mailed also but no reply. I know it’s a trusted brand but I want to try first and see what else I need to start earning. I mean do I need a website or paid traffic that I need to invest in?

Thank you so much for a great article. But I personally like ClickBank and what they are offering through their course because as a newbie, it is overwhelming to learn affiliate marketing from the scratch. And that’s what you’ll get inside the course.

I have gained some little experience with Clickbank so far and I can say for sure: IT IS NOT A SCAM AT ALL!

Thanks for this great review!

I only have one comment, the only website/theme platform I trust is Optimize Press, been using it for many years and have made awesome Landing and sales pages with the system to me NOTE: this is just my experience because I dedicated 3 different domain over the years with of course several Products promoted under these domains to each of my Childrens College Fund just to have some type of Transparent, meaning Truthful Experience and The success blew my wife and I away “OptimizePress and Wishlist Members are well kept secrets and the new upgrades and integrations are awesome I have no link to share why because This is just me trying to share a Blessing remember that anything you Do Starts with Belief and as Your Belief Grows Your Faith Grows and then the Blessings come in multitudes “FAITH-FAMILY-FINANCE” In That Order…..

Hey Jerry, I hope you’re good.
I want join the WA and what is the first step? Thanks!

I was thinking about taking them up on their last offer but unfortunately the website “lock-in issue” is a deal breaker for me. Almost $600 for access to a website builder. Whether it’s a one time fee or not should be a crime.

Other than that CBU seems like a great option for learning internet marketing. I follow their YouTube channel and they have some fun and informative videos.

Firstly, sorry about the long messages (this one included). I DO have a tendency to do that being a blogger/writer.

Next, If I knew how to attach a screen shot in this box I would. I could SHOW you what they are doing to me. I will look for a way to copy and paste one here for you shortly. I do have some responses to what you told me.

As for the support, IF you are a current member, I DO agree, the support is great. Once you LEAVE, it is like the Arizona desert. You are the tumbleweed blowing across it. Nothing is heard or seen for as far as you can see or hear, just the whistling through the cacti.

The information you have my friend I am sad to say you are misinformed. I would LOVE to be ABLE to agree with you. I REALLY WOULD. But I can’t. I was wrong on the name calling it Gold over Premium. You are right on the name. It was $379.00 or $359.00. If it is over $350.00 I rounded up. It is closer to $400 than $300.

WA gives you two sites that uses sublinks. When I say sub-links I mean that they make you go into their servers of (for example as I can’t remember their links off the top of my head as I use so many now) say http://www.whatsiteisit.mysite.wealthyaffiliate.com or something like that where it gets routed somewhere before it goes to your site as you are using their main link and it is rerouted to you through them.

That does not happen when you buy your domain. I NEVER pay as high as you mentioned of $14.99 to $18.99. I use Blue Host as my new host and the most I have ever paid there is $11.99 and the outside of the free ones they gave me in the initial buying of the package as one of their selling points.

I have even paid as little as $4.00 for them there. There is no sub-links or rerouting to and through the servers which not only slows you down some but leaves you a little more vulnerable to cyber attacks. I am computer security literate and take that very serious as I have a U.S. patent and work on the computer at times.

I did nothing wrong for the transfer of my site. I am well educated in the use of these systems. I HAD Kyle email me and say it would be forwarded but it never came to me. He never responded back to me when I told him that. In fact, he never responded to me in the first place. He responded to Enom when they went to him. Support tells you this as a non member (copy and paste.. like just about everything else)

“Hey There Michael!

You currently do not have access to the Members Area because your Premium membership is closed. To enable your account and regain full access to all of your information, please resubscribe by clicking the button below!”

That includes reaching out to members to ask for help with this situation too.

You know what is funny? Right now as I go to WA to get the info for my site, some of it has changed. The ENTIRE site has been wiped out and replaced. I guess WA DELETED it or domain shield did. I do not have ANY of my products on it. It was not even a valid link the last time I went to open it. Now it DOES open and shows a damn flower pot. It shows WA servers holding it again at the WA site which I changed several times to the BLUE HOST servers and Enom told them to LEAVE alone and in 10 days they would automatically lock in or something of the sort but of course that did not work either.

If I can secure the dot com under my name then I will let all of this go away as my 3 patent pending items need a landing page soon for investors to check out.

I was working with “Teddy Bear” Chris in WA. I hope he is doing better he was very sick the last time I talked with him. He knew of the problems I was having. Some of them anyway. We lost touch when he had a stroke and needed to recover.

While you talk about ClickBank holding the website “hostage” so to speak if an affiliate or vendor wanted to host their website somewhere else other than ClickBank, Do you know that for a fact? Do you know of this first-hand?

I DO know Wealthy Affiliates first-hand as I WAS a member for 1 year. I used 3 websites through them and I was successful BEHIND the scenes with networking and connecting with people but there I did not get the help I needed or wanted. It wasn’t like I did not reach out to others either but the worst part of being there is right now over a year later.

I own my own physical brick and mortar business called Love Lights(c)LLC. I HAD a website of http://www.lovelightsllc.com BEFORE WA and registered it until 2019 purposely in case something like this potentially did happen.

Sadly, it has and still IS going on. When I finally decided to leave WA and not renew at the roughly $400 gold member membership price, WA changed the websites email holder to no longer for example to be mike@lovelightsllc.com but to mike@domainshield.com. I have had several agencies contact the owners of WA to rectify this plan and I have even been emailed directly saying that they have “fixed the problem”.

As you may or may not know, to transfer a site you need to get the EPP code and then point the servers at the new host. The NEW host is then to send you a validation code that is ONLY accepted at the website email address to which is taken over by domainshield.com. Since THEY hold access to that email. I am locked out of the website. I cannot verify their validation code. I cannot point the servers at the site. I contacted WA again, now, there is no response.

None to me or to Enom who was fighting for me and BlueHost who is also fighting for me. Blue Host charged me over $150 LESS for hosting and total control of my sites and for unlimited domain monitoring and maintenance too.

Compare that to the WA services and I felt it was better for me to save the cash since the site was mine in the first place. They also locked two other sites I was using for affiliate marketing.

If they can do that to me, who else have they done it to? I have not heard any reviews for CLickBank except this one and it IS good to know they ALSO have hidden fees.

Have you checked out the Inbox Blueprint by founded by Anik Sengal? I am doing this now and making GOOD money at it teaching others things I know like the back of my head.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder my friend. Good luck in your WA business. Maybe YOU can get my websites unlocked and get me my validation codes so I can keep my .com and get back to selling my patented toy bears (U.S. patent #8,376,807) and to introduce the 3 patent pending toy lines.

I have to wait to do that and it is costing me money that soon will turn into a legal battle if it makes me miss my launch day due to this. I have been working on this since December and currently have stopped “chasing it down” as other deadlines are getting passed over because of them.

I had to catch up to go back to that and you just reminded me of it. I am going to go follow up on that right after I post this to you. I doubt that you will allow this to go public anyway. If you don’t maybe you can show this to someone that CAN get me back into my old website’s email and get it away from domainshield.

If I can get into it and get my validation code so the new servers will get pointed to the site or vice versa (however it works) then I will go away quietly into the night (lol.. sounds like an old horror movie to me) but seriously.

You could help me a million times over if you could find out how to get through this domain shield issue that WA has put on me.

THEY SAY they have put a forward on the website but that did not solve the validation code. I have never received one when one was sent. Not in an inbox, trash or spam box. Not in a forward or direct to my personal email that they said it was sent to of azpatriot36@yahoo.com.

Outside of this MAJOR issue, I enjoyed the people I met at WA, the videos and the learning I did there too. I found I could gather more information on my own for the tools were, average to me and if you upgrade they became much much better.

It CAN be worked with the basics but it will take you a long time to get them working using a host sublinked website and just 2 before you have to pay for your domains which one should want to do even for the 1st two so you do not have the long sublink. I wouldn’t buy from a sublink. I would think it is a trap or a “sneaky” website more so than a “trusted” dot com site. That is why it is ALWAYS worth paying the $11.99 or $12.99 for the domain registration, for the MILLIONS of people like me in the computer security field.

Hello, I have a few question if you could help me please!

I came across ClickBank. Basically I studied how to make money online from like 6 months now and never got started, and I almost started with ClickBank. But first of all I don’t want to make my own products. I want to do affiliate thing until I can make my own products and sell them.

I have a question though, is it true that they make like 6-7 figure a year from affiliate marketing? And also what you need to do afterward when you have more than $2K in your account? Do you need to setup a business account at the bank because I heard that when you start making money they will block it till you have the business setup.

My last question is, should I take the wealth academy? I need to say I need training like from the basic. I’m pretty new to this thing. Or can you recommend me something until I can get the WH academy? I really appreciate your answer, thank you very much 🙂

Hi Jerry,
For the business model Wealthy Affiliate is using, is it focusing on making our site rank in Search Engines

OR

Do they teach us how to to get leads and market the products by email marketing?

Thanks!

I came across this ClickBank university, recently during the summer of 2017. I am not sure if it was the updated version but, I am glad you reviewed this product. I almost signed up with them, thinking that they would actually provided answers to building a business. For some reason, I changed my mind. Probably because, I knew it had a catch to it somewhere. And, after reading this article. I can clearly see why I did not sign up.

I am already involved with Wealthy Affiliate, and they are an awesome company. I see you recommend Thrive Architect as a page builder. Is that a year fee or a one time fee? and do I have to have technical skills to use this product? I look forward to your response…Have an awesome day!

Hi Jerry, Yes I never really went through this academy but I went through a similar one, JVZoo Academy. I ended up spending $300 + on the tools and website/landing page builder which was horrible and didn’t host anything. I needed to buy hosting for that.

I will admit that it was quite in-depth if you wanted to create products and sell them on JVZoo but that was not my intention. They do this obviously because they make money from content builders, not affiliates.

I was considering giving ClickBank University a try but now that I see it is pretty much the same I will just pass.

I saw a webinar a few years ago with ClickBank University and to tell you the truth I was very impressed. But like you said what I realized was that they are really expensive. Nevertheless, many members have said how ClickBank has made them some really good money. I agree with you, the Wealthy Affiliate University platform has the best online training by far.

Thank you for your brilliant description.
If I have a product to sell, the ClickBank University 2.0 would be suitable for me, wouldn’t it?
If I want to promote someone’s product, the Wealthy Affiliate would be a good choice, wouldn’t it?
