Clickbank| Article #316 : THE COMPLETE CLICKBANK GUIDE – PART 2

In this installment of our complete Clickbank guide, we’re going to dive into the nuts and bolts of just how Clickbank works. Because there is so much to their site, this is going to cover a lot of territory. So just take it one step and at a time and you’ll be fine.

Let’s start off with some of Clickbank’s legalities. There are quite a few because of how massive Clickbank is. So it’s important to know what they are.

Pay Periods

Pay periods end at 12:00:01am Pacific time on the 1st and 16th of each month. For security reasons payment is made by check only. Checks are mailed within 15 days after the end of the pay period. Checks over $5,000 are sent at our expense by US Priority Mail (US) or Global Priority Mail (Europe, Canada, Australia, etc) wherever possible. US checks over $10,000 are sent overnight via FedEx wherever possible.

If you think that there are people who don’t have checks over $10,000 then you haven’t met many gurus online. Clickbank has many affiliates making large incomes online.

Payment Preference

Payment preference is a predetermined minimum amount of money you must have in your account before we cut you a check. You may select an amount from $10 to $10,000 as your payment preference amount. The default setting is $100. We hold your check until your payable balance reaches this amount. A $2.50 accounting charge is deducted from each check we issue. To change your payment preference login to your account, click the link to "access your account", click the link to "modify your account", select the desired amount from the drop down menu, and click the "save changes" button.

I hope you noticed the line I bolded. If you sign up with Clickbank and leave this as it is, you are going to have to make $100 in sales before you see your first check. As a starting affiliate, and speaking from my own experience, I can tell you that you may be waiting for a long time. My first paycheck was for $60 and some change. If I had left my account at $100, I would have had to wait until the next pay period, providing I finally broke $100, to receive my checks. I have lowered my balance to $25 to make sure that I get a check every pay period, or at least have the best chance of doing so.

In our next installment of this series on Clickbank, we’re going to continue with some of Clickbank’s policies, picking up with their policy on completed sales.

See you then.
