There is lots of room for improvement on this one.

I was discussing this with members of the 5 Bucks a Day and Earn 1k a Day forums and they highlighted a few downsides:

1. Clickbank has an 8 week refund window – no questions asked. That gives someone the ability to use the content of the site and download resources for almost 2 months, and then request a refund. The site owner would have no recourse. I think that is a little excessive.

2. Clickbank’s fees are fairly high and this solution might not be as cost effective as others (but it’s nice to not have to manage your own affiliate program.)

3. If you are in the Information Marketing business, many people will buy through their own links to get an effective rebate every month on their own memberships. Outside this marketplace, other customers are probably not aware of how to do this.

There are ways to deal with the first problem like tying membership to some kind of desirable rights or tools. Then people will have a need to stay members. There isn’t much to do about number two but complain and number three is just a cost of doing business with Clickbank.

Still, there is a lot of opportunity here!

The Go-To Guy!
