I’m almost convinced to go with Clickbank for my WSO (since I already have 4 CB accounts).

Now we all know that the aim is to get as many affiliates on board as possible in order to make your WSO successful, and it’s been pointed to me numerous times by people of good standing on the Warrior Forum, that affiliates will be hard to attract if I use CB as the processor for my WSO.

The reasons for this the say are:

…It’s easier to sign up as an affiliate through WarriorPro or JVZoo.

…delayed commissions payments with CB

…..higher costs for affiliates with CB

Also with CB there the issue about purchasers using their own CB affiliate link to buy.

Example:

Suppose you have WSO product and it’s $5.

My CB account by default has a 50% commission. The purchaser uses his CB affiliate link to buy the product, so he get the product for $2.50

Even though I’ve put the WSO product in an existing CB account with other products, I know I can change the Commission% to ‘0’ for that specific product, so the above won’t happen.

However, if I do that then it also totally precludes ANY affiliates that sign up to sell the product from getting a ‘legitimate commission on the product.

So it seems I’m between a rock and hard place…

I either accept that I will get ‘dodgy’ $2.50 sales for those smart enough to us their CB affiliate links to buy, but don’t want to be affiliates.

I suppose any Vendor who sell products on the CB platform is open to this.

Although in my mind that whole scenario become worse

Suppose you have a main product you sell normally every day for $97 on Clickbank (and you’ve set the commission at 50%)

You do a WSO and offer the product at say $57 ( again, processing it through CB)

Now the ‘clever’ buyers in the know, use their CB affiliate ID to purchase the WSO

Which means now, as the vendor for that WSO, I get $28.50 for that WSO sale, on what was originally a $97 product.

Am I missing anything?

Any thoughts or suggestions please John

I’m going with Clickbank for pretty much everything I’m going to be selling online, especially in the IM market.

Affiliates love it and anything you can do to show them some love (like using Clickbank) comes back to you in spades.

I prefer Clickbank myself….you’re dealing with an expert brand that are well known and are respected worldwide because of it. Affiliates get paid on time, everytime and that’s why they love it.

I used a different platform (don’t wanna bad mouth anything here!) and let’s just say that for my next launch I am definitely going with Clickbank.

Clickbank for me everytime – it’s a no brainer Lol

The approval process would be just the same. I have found the approval process not too bad as you learn what to include/exclude from experience.

You can list additional items from the same account but that could lead to issues for obvious reasons.

It may be an extra step but the fact you don’t go through an approval process with other affiliate platforms means you could be doing something PayPal don’t like.

Hope this helps.

seems to me that PayPal has got a bee in its bonnet. In today’s economic climate wouldn’t you think they would want to get money from as many sources as possible? As long as your are doing nothing illegal, why wouldn’t they accept a payment? Maybe its because Clickbank is a major rival and words have been exchanged? Who knows. I will definitely be going with CB – their track record is impeccable.

That MP3 that’s floating around the web of the phone call between Warrior Anthony Ayers and PayPal says it all. PayPal does or did not like the WF and how Warrior+ operates as they made it clear in that call that Warriors weren’t adding any value by selling products to other marketers in their eyes.

Now I got an email from Mike Lantz the other day and I guess you did too where it seems that PayPal have kind of changed their mind but only by enforcing certain conditions on WSO sales through Warrior+ and you can read about them here:

http://www.warriorplus.com/support/knowledgebase.php?article=43

In a nutshell, all new WSO launches through Warrior+ mean you need to give them certain authorities in your PayPal account first, thus…

“WHAT PERMISSIONS DOES WARRIORPLUS NEED?

We will need you to grant us permissions in the following areas:

=> Express Checkout: Allow us to initiate payments on your behalf.
=> Refunds: Allow us to initiate refunds on your behalf
=> Transaction details: Allow us to see payment details on a specific WSO Pro transaction
=> Contact Information: Allow us to access some basic information about you, like your name, country, and your Paypal email and ID”

There’s other changes like proper split pay so if you’re happy doing that then you can use Warrior+ but who knows if there’ll be more demands from PayPal down the track?
