Why I Don't Sell Via Clickbank Nowadays
Some years ago, I sold quite a lot through Clickbank. It was when I lived in Mexico, and I had a website on learning Spanish. I sold some Clickbank items on that subject. I also sold some dog-training items from Clickbank for another site I was doing a lot with.
But over time I realized that these things were high priced compared to the various ebooks and videos other people began doing. You may remember that I used to be a librarian, and that means I really like to provide people with free information.
Or at least low-cost. There are tons of books on Amazon on most subjects, also on other good book websites.
Every now and then someone's link takes me to Clickbank these days, and while I may be interested in their topic, I'm too frugal to go for it. Just the other day, I noticed a site on preparedness that sure looked a lot like a book I have on it... both were about Mormon methods of preparedness,
So do whatever suits you, of course! But I'm unlikely to resume using it.

Good for you! It's true about the cost - there's a reason those merchants can afford a 75% commission or higher for a digital product; it's because it costs them nothing but they still make something if they charge a high enough price.
You are so right about better, less expensive information being available elsewhere.
And I bet you sleep better at night knowing that you are promoting something worthy of your reader's hard earned money.
Hi Rosana,
That is very interesting to know. I was looking for some affiliate links to add to my site the other day and a lot of them were through clickbank.
I was seriously considering going down this route, but now I think a bit more research is needed first.
Thanks for sharing your experience and have a great weekend.
I don't use clickbank either, except when reviewing companies who are using it. Guess I haven't missed too much.
Hi Rosana,
Sounds like you have much experience and success in this online world.
I think I need to learn from you.

I see. I am building an affiliate site and will just test the waters out on there so this is pretty good info and the discussions also discloses other options.
Just like you I prefer to provide site visitors free stuff and the best bang out of the amount they spend so I will always seriously be looking at alternatives.
Thanks for the info, Rosana.
