There are many reasons why Clickbank produce faster results than any other program.

They are one of the most trusted sources online and therefore people just tend to use them more in general, for payments is always on time and all products have a full refund.

Quite a lot of popular online marketers use Clickbank as vendors in order to sell their products, therefore obviously affiliates will have to join Clickbank in order to promote these highly popular products.

Clickbank also have a huge variety of products in basically any niche and affiliates tend to build micro niches that will be based on the product itself. (hard work to maintain them)

At this point my major income also comes from Clickbank, but it is not as easy as it seems, for you constantly have to stay on top of the competition and promote the products that is highly popular in order to make sales. Some products have a limited "shelf life" as I call it, because after popularity had worn off the sales drop, and you need to find the next product to promote. There are in fact many reasons why some fail at Clickbank and why others have huge success.

The reason why you see these sudden payments is all because of popularity, there are quite a few ways to get your hands on a "hot" product and start promoting it before anyone else, these will give you instant sales, but like I said it can wear off just as quickly especially in a highly competitive niche.

I had only joined Wealthy Affiliate about 2 weeks ago and I already have better success in promoting it than my Clickbank products, because it sell it self and also because there is no annoying sales-pages or constant attempts to up-sell you into other products or upgrades. I had also find that people are more prone to the free option. Sales pages are loosing popularity because prospects got used to them now and just click out, a lot of Clickbank products are based on sales-pages and up-selling, indeed very hard to promote.

My secret to making sales is simple I build myself around the product, meaning I make sure that when people see me, they automatically see the product and know exactly what they will get and how they can obtain any information that they need. Prospects like to buy from someone who seems to be an expert in his/her field. Create a short page about yourself and how you had become successful, you can add WA as your business platform and tell people a little about how it had helped you (not a sales pitch). Make this link available on your social profiles, your blog and your email signature.

Hope this help

mmmattm29,.thanks so much for the discussion provided concerning the quickness of money making from Clickbank within a few weeks. I also doubt about the time of money making in WA. Might be I have to wait for years to get the first few dollars revenue earned from the WA community in spite of being a premium member ! For me,the money is still in the air but I don't know where and when it would be found.
