Your ClickBank Check
August 21, 2008
I have mentioned the requirements you must meet in order to get your first ClickBank check in previous posts. But it can be a bit confusing why you are not getting paid even though you have made some sales.
The main roadblock is something innocently called the CDR: Customer Distribution Requirement
ClickBank accounts cannot be used for the sole purpose of collecting rebates or otherwise extending credit to yourself or others. In compliance with US law, ClickBank will withhold payment of any account balance until it contains standing sales made with 5 or more different credit card numbers, including at least one Visa card, and one MasterCard. PayPal purchases do not count toward the minimum.
So your sales need to meet the above criteria before you will ever get a check. The next hurdle is your minimum check amount which you set in your account details. The default is $100, so once you meet the CDR you must have the minimum check amount in order to get a check. Higher is sometimes better here because there is a $2 fee per check.
I was asked recently about the check itself and how it arrives. It comes via the regular USPS mail to your address of record in your account. It is a plain business envelope with a return address of WWW.CLICKBANK.COM . It could easily get mistaken for junk mail so be sure to look carefully. Inside you will simply find a check and nothing else. It will have your name and address as well as your ClickBank id. Just for the record, the checks are paid from Wells Fargo Bank out of Boise, Idaho.
ClickBank also has direct deposit options:
ClickBank is pleased to offer direct deposit of your ClickBank account payment to U.S. bank accounts at no extra charge. An account must have first received three paper paychecks within any 90-day period before it is eligible to enroll in direct deposit. Direct deposits may take 1-2 business days to reach your account, although many direct deposits are received on the same day that we send them.
They also offer international Direct Deposit for their worldly affiliates.
All your payment, or lack of payment, information can be found under the Reporting tab of your ClickBank account.
Why You Need Multiple ClickBank Accounts
August 18, 2008
I love ClickBank. There is really no other way to say it. You put your product in the marketplace and you immediatly get a stream of affiliates promoting for you day and night.
There is one odd little glitch in the system however. What if you have two products?
This is not a problem for Clickbank, you can have up to 500 products on one account.
BUT…
You can only have one site page.
PayPal Premier Account

There are actually very few differences between the Premier Account and the Business Account. However, there are a number of differences between both of those accounts and the personal account.
Logging in to PayPal
August 10, 2008
Now we’re going to log into our PayPal account and begin to go over some of the things that we have available to us.
NOTE: Because the items that you will have available to you are different for each account type, we are going to do this review based on having access to everything. If you want to actually be able to access the sections we cover and can’t do so, you will have to upgrade your account in order to do so. Otherwise, this tutorial would be impossible to do. Okay, now that we have that out of the way, let’s dig into the PayPal site and see what we have there.

PayPal
July 17, 2008
For those who are already somewhat familiar with PayPal, please bear with me for just a moment. PayPal is a payment processor, plain and simple. What this means is that if you want to collect money for services rendered over the Internet, and don’t have or can’t get your own merchant account, PayPal will collect the money for you and deposit it into your online account. From there, you can then transfer the money to your own bank account or even have PayPal issue you a check.

Many programs or sites will provide you with already written e-mail or classified ad copy designed to help you spread the word effortlessly. All you need to do is copy/paste and send it out to your list, safelist, or
various other e-mail advertisement methods. This can have both good and bad side effects, depending on how you handle the marketing resources they provide you.
