   I am a Clickbank affiliate but I only promote two products.   The majority of products on Clickbank are rubbish!
   
   The problem is that most of the big affiliate networks charge a lot of money to become a merchant - ShareASale, for instance, charges a setup fee of $600.  Clickbank charges about $50 and doesn't screen applicants, so anyone with a lame e-book can join up and market their product.
   
   There are some excellent products on Clickbank but you need to be picky.

   Overall I like Clickbank.  They provide good tracking statistics for affiliates, they pay on time and they have a large number of products to promote. Yes, some of these are rubbish, as Marisa Wright says, but I have a policy of testing any product before I promote it.  If it is rubbish I return it for a refund.
   
   This unfortunately backfired on me some years ago when, by chance, I happened to return 3 products within a couple of weeks.  The next time I tried to buy a product through Clickbank I found that they had blacklisted me and would not let me buy anything! So the moral here is: try before promoting, and return the rubbish VERY carefully.

   When I first looked at Clickbank I thought it was just people selling information you can get for free on the Internet.
   
   I have recently changed my mind as I have found the most amazing product and it is sold via Clickbank. I have become an affiliate with Clickbank so that I can promote this product.
   
   If ever I create an electronic product I will probably sell it via Clickbank.
