How to get paid from ClickBank – Tips on how to meet the ClickBank CDR

If you are a ClickBank affiliate, you probably already know the Customer Distribution Requirement (CDR) policy.

The CDR is the ClickBank anti-fraud policy, to avoid a fraudolent use of the ClickBank account; in short you cannot purchase ClickBank products using your own affiliate link just to collect rebates.

That is why  “ClickBank will withhold payment of any account balance until the following criteria is met:

  • Sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers; and,
  • Sales made with two different payment methods (either Visa, MasterCard, PayPal or European Direct Debit(ELV)). Note: PayPal purchases do not count toward the minimum 5 different credit card numbers.”

I joined the ClickBank Affiliate Program last year and started to promote ClickBank Products. In a short period i made 9 sales, for an amount of commission of $167.48.

At first i was very excited, making sales was very moivating but then i saw on my PayChecks report the column Status with thelink to the CDR.

This was very frustrating: not only you have to meet a payment threshold before you get paid, but you also have to do several sales, but sales have to be made from FIVE different credit card number. Considering that the best part of my sales come from PayPal, it is not that easy to meet the CDR. This was very discouraging, and is one of the main reasons why many affiliates fail at ClickBank affiliate marketing.

But there is more: according to ClickBank “Accounts with a positive balance but no earnings for an extended period of time are considered dormant“. Dormant accounts are subject to a charge of $1 per pay period after 90 days of inactivity, $5 per pay period after 180 days of inactivity, and $50 per pay period after 365 days of inactivity”.

Of Course, if you do a lot of sales on ClickBank, this is not a problem to you, but what if i made other, let’s say 10 sales and all customers pay with PayPal ? I will not able to meet the ClickBank CDR, so getting sales does not mean you will get paid.

I find the solution to my problem in this free ebook from Harvey Segal on how to met the Customer Distribution Requirement. You can download it for free, no signup, no email required.

Don’t let the title fool you; if you are a ClickBank affiliate and you don’t know what to do to meet the ClickBank Customer Distribution Requirement, my advice is to read the Harvey Segal’s ClickBank for Newbies free ebook; you might be losing commission without knowing it.

Marketing Research and Keyword Analysis


Marketing Research and Keyword Analysis.

On the first article we have seen some of the MarketPlace where you can find good products to promote.
Now it’s time to decide which Niche we want focus on and find the right Keywords to address our Niche.
Remember, the more broad the Niche, the more competition, so maybe it’s better to find a Sub Niche to target with our Marketing Strategies.

As for the first point, Marketing Research is very important to Discover profitable Niches; refer to the Marketing Courses that you find at the end of the article; all these Courses have good sections about the brainstorming process to choose a Profitable Niche

As for the Keyword Research, the first tool that we examine is Google Keyword Tool, the free Google tool to do keyword research. Go to  https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

and start to do keyword research.

So, in example, if you are promoting a product related to “hair loss”, you can start your research entering your keyword or phrase, entering the Captcha Code and clicking the “Get Keyword ideas” button

Google Keyword Tool

Find key phrases with a number between 1000 and 40000 searches /month or more; they can be both mainstream keyword (i.e “hair loss”) or the so-called long-tail keyword (i.e. “how to stop your hair loss”).

Use the Exact match in your research to have more relevant results (select “Exact” in the Match Type combo) and click the “add Exact” button on the keywords you want to use:

Find about 15-20 keywords and phrases relevant to the Niche you want to address and describing the products you want to promote.

Use some of these keywords to do more research, and then export your keyword List in a .txt file clicking the link supplied:

Select also some “buying keywords” like, i.e “purchase hair loss treatment”.

Now you have to check on the competition for these keywords.

Put your keyword phrases in google search engine as an exact phrase (that is enclosed in quotes) and look at  the competition for your keyword.

Repeat this process for all the keywords in your list and select only the keyword phrases with 15000 or less competitors.

You should end with about 15-20 keywords that fit these requirements.

This process end up with a selection of keywords to target; the more keyword you are able to discover with low competition, the better. This will help you to rank better in google, to have more traffic, and to get more sales.

Introduction to Affiliate Marketing


Introduction to Affiliate Marketing
This is the first of a series of articles i wrote about Affiliate Marketing and how to find and dominate a profitable Niche. Let’s start with a simple introduction to Affiliate Marketing.
Do not expect a lot from this articles; i’ll try to maintain as simple as is possible and explain the basic concepts, so they are aimed to a non expert audience.
Affiliate Marketing, as the term suggest is a Market, and like in every Markets there are at least three main actors;
The Vendor: a private or a company who sell its services or products;
The Buyer : who is going to purchase those service and products;
The Affiliate: Is an intermediary (read salesperson) that sell the Vendor’s product to the Buyer and receive a Commission for his selling activity.
What the advantages? For the Vendor the availability of a sales force otherwise impossible to hire thus covering a broad Market, for the Affiliate the commission fee covering the marketing and promotion efforts. Obviously for this mechanism to work commission should be adequate as no affiliate will really put a lot of effort into promoting a Product if the return is not good enough. So, in example, if you’re looking to market a new product that costs $149 per sale, and you pay your affiliates $0.50 per sale, well, you’e just not going to have that many affiliates,and that means low promotion and lower sales.
So, as an Affiliate, you should:
- join a MarketPlace
- find a good product to promote that has good commissions
- promote this product
- sell the product and earn.

Some of the best MarketPlaces for digital Products are:
ClickBank
PayDotCom
Commission Junction
Plimus

For Physical Goods:
Amazon.com
Ebay.com
ShareASale.com

There are several parameters to determine if a product is good to promote. These are some of the most relevant:
- Gravity: indicates the number of affiliates who have earned a commission by promoting a particular product (the higher the better). This parameters indicate that the product is converting well.
- Total$/Sale: Total$/Sale is a relevant indicator for who know how much is going to spend on promotion for each sale, so they can select only products whose Total$/Sale is higher than the advertising costs.
- Avg%/Sale: similar to the former, but in percentage. – % Referred: This is the percentage of a vendor’s sales that are referred by affiliates. A high Ratio indicates a well established Vendor with a wide affiliate base.
- Future $: This refers to subscription products, where Affiliate earn recurring revenue from a single sale.
So, as a rule of thumb, choose to promote products with high gravity and high Avg%/Sale.
