Clickbank – Over 10,000 digital products for you to promote. So the choices are not slim by any means! Affiliate commissions range from 50 to 75% commissions. Example: Your promoting a work at home affiliate product that retails for $50 dollars U.S. you as the referring affiliate are getting a 75% commission on the successful sale of that product. You check your Clickbank account you just sold that product hurray! You just made yourself a hefty $37.50 commission. Not to shabby huh? The money can really add up.
The one downside of starting out with Clickbank as an affiliate is you have to get 5 sales from 5 different credit cards in order to receive your first check. Yeah I know it sucks – But 5 sales can come pretty quick. Think of it as your initiation. After you receive your first check and you have met there CDR requirements you will be paid once every 2 weeks as long as you make at least 1 affiliate sale. Trust me Clickbank is well worth the initial wait – Their the best in the business by far as far as I am concerned.

Try a few of them out and see who performs the best for your affiliate marketing campaign. If you want to earn extra money online the 3 key steps are learning, motivation, and trial@error.
