Why You Need Multiple ClickBank Accounts

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.

Your site page is where you advertise your product to the marketplace.  It is where you set up your commission level for your product and your product categories.  Even if you have 500 products, you can only have one site page.  (My Site in the ClickBank menu)

The Marketplace is for affiliates to find your products to promote.  ClickBank suggests if you have multiple products, then your site page should point to a hub site to promote all of your products to affiliates.  This would have to mean that all of your products are under the same general category, and the hoplinks generated would be to your hub page, not to each specific site.  This does not seem to be a very efficient solution.

So you have to do what many ClickBank publishers do, have multiple accounts.  It is really the only clean way to get each of your products listed in the Marketplace.

One last bit of info about the Marketplace, your product can be listed easily once you setup your categories.  The Marketplace is updated once a day, so your product will most likely show up within 24 hours.  But in order to stay listed in the Marketplace you have to make a sale at least once every 30 days.  If you fail to make a sale once a month, your product will be removed from the Marketplace listing.

Honestly, I see no reason to sell through ClickBank if you can not benefit from the affiliate sales.  You would be making sales from organic traffic, yet paying the additional ClickBank fees.  Sure, you would have to handle your own returns, but it would be worth it in my opinion.
