Founded in 1998, ClickBank is a network that  intermediates the online sales of digital informative materials, affiliate products and services together with membership and subscription packages. Market studies indicate that there are more than 12,000 publishers promoting digital products and over 100,000 affiliates that work on ClickBank. When we say ClickBank we say sales, since this business is definitely the most visited converting business on the Internet, servicing the international market at an incredibly high rate. The 20,000 of daily processed orders in fact convert into a $1 million profit per twenty-four hours.
The successful business model that generates such huge profits to ClickBank relies on a formula that brings together more special product publishers, Internet affiliates and consumers. Who benefits from the network? Well, publishers get the chance to sell intellectual property, consumers shop for products that are not available in regular retail stores and affiliates pay incredibly advantageous commissions for their advertising. ClickBank is the link or the intermediary between these three groups ensuring transparency of transactions, high quality anti-fraud protection and a secure operation platform.
Each of the above mentioned groups receive specific assistance and support from ClickBank. A great plus for the network here is its rather closed nature, meaning that permanent development is not carried out at the expense of the customer, and most of all, it is not forced into the responsibility of the client. While with other programs, an affiliate would have to bring other vendors in order to augment the system, ClickBank does not impose any such obligations. The network makes profit on the basis of the commissions paid from sales, which once again stresses out the extent of the transactions conducted in this model.
For consumers, ClickBank represents the chance to purchase all sorts of specialized products and services available with niches only and usually absent from regular retail stores and shops. The variety of products is incredible, the transactions are very safe and the entire system is designed so as to be user and consumer friendly in all respects. Last but not least, extra money making opportunities are provided by ClickBank to affiliates that add products and services from the network on their home page. The most advantageous of commissions here are up to 75% of the sales but more money can come out of referring publishers and affiliates to ClickBank.
