PayDotCom is the new paypal-based alternative to ClickBank.
As an affiliate you can promote the products listed at
PayDotCom just like you can at ClickBank - it's simply a new
affiliate network that you can join for free and earn money
through product sales. The only major difference is that you
dont have to wait for a check to arrive in the mail... they
payout via PayPal.
As a merchant, PayDotCom has a lot of features that make it
a more appealing option than ClickBank. For starters, your
merchant account is free (unlike ClickBank which charges a
$49.95 activation fee).
And again, you dont have to wait for a check - in fact, when
one of your products sell (either directly, or through one
of your affiliates) the money goes directly into your PayPal
or Stormpay account. There's no waiting period at all.
Another perk is that you can sell an unlimited number of
products through your PayDotCom account. With ClickBank you
can only sell one product per account (unless you purchase
EasyClickMate software to get around this) - which means you
pay $49.95 to set up each product on ClickBank. PayDotCom does
have a one time $29 activation fee for multiple products, but
that one fee will allow you to set up an unlimited number of
products.
You can also sell both physical and digital products through
PayDotCom. You can even set up subscription based items, such
as a membership-based site or ongoing service. ClickBank only
allows you to list digital goods, such as info products.
It just makes sense to choose PayDotCom over ClickBank.
There are tons of reasons why... but another one of the big
differences is that PayDotCom allows you to email all of
your affiliates - ClickBank does not. That has been one of
the major problems with ClickBank - that you had no idea who
your affiliates were, and no way to contact them. Add in the
fact that you had no control over refunds, were forced to
offer a specific guarantee and had no real stats to work
with... and ClickBank was extremely restrictive. However, it
was the best option for a long time because it was one of the
only options (outside of setting up the software to manage
your own affiliate program in-house).
I signed up for a free acount myself, so I've had an opportunity
to check things out behind the scenes. It's very easy to use,
and they offer a lot of features to both the affiliate and the
merchant. I was impressed with it, myself - and am surprised I
havent heard more talk about it than I have.
Check it out for yourself:
http://paydotcom.net/?affiliate=8361 Click the Vendors button there on the main page, and then click
the "check it out to compare..." link.
I'm not sure why anyone would even choose ClickBank anymore,
now that PayDotCom is available. For years now there has been
talk about inaccurate reporting at ClickBank, "dry spells"
where no sales were reported at all in accounts that get
consistent sales otherwise, etc. With all of that in question,
and all of the features lacking that any good affiliate
program manager should offer... I see ClickBank needing to
make major changes, or phasing out altogether.
And I'll give you one more reason to sign up for a free
account, if you havent already: You can refer other people
to PayDotCom and earn $5 for every new free account that
results from your recommendation. I remember when PayPal
first appeared on the scene... and offered a $10 referral
commission. Since the accounts were free, a lot of people
signed up when they were introduced to PayPal by someone
else... and many people made hundreds - even thousands -
of dollars on those referrals!
This is another such opportunity ;)
The link I gave above (
http://paydotcom.net/?affiliate=8361)
is my own referral link. It will cost you absolutely nothing
to set up a free account - through which you can promote other
people's products, or set up your own to sell - and I will
earn $5 when you do that. From there you can share your own
link with others, and earn $5 for every referral (in addition
to selling products for commission, or kick-starting your
own affiliate program).
PayDotCom stands to benefit YOU in several ways... and by
signing up (again, at 0 cost to you) you can also support
all of my work here online at the same time.
A win/win for us both ;)
