I'm in a big dilemma. ClickBank or JVzoo?

Hmm... I want to give you a quick answer man.
JVZOO https://www.jvzoo.com/compare
All the way, Awesome updates and stuff.

After being slapped all about the place by PayPal, I would definitely say 2 thumbs up for your ClickBank choice. If JVZoo offers other payment options that are non-PayPal, then I'd give them a 2 thumbs up too because I like their system. Keep in mind that ClickBank also deals with sales tax and sends out all required tax forms. If you are using other systems, you may be responsible for sending those out yourself.

Something else to take in consideration, I've been analyzing the traffic you get from Clickbank affiliates vrs WSO affilaites. Seems that if you use clickbank you get a wider audience of affilaites that can send more heat because the affiliate base is larger and many of the guys that can send a lot of traffic are worried about losing their paypal accounts - since it happens a lot with people that send massive amount of sales.

However, the quality of affiliate lists seems better in the WSO space, same with the offers.... with that being said... WSO space transparency is key - and also great customer service, fast (public) response time too. Public being another KEY.

Go JVzoo... (that's copyright protected! )

Do not think twice. And like Matt said make sure you have customer service and all ready for launch. Actually I think you could benefit a lot from the Matt's link... They have some great stuff to share!

People don't lose their PayPal accounts because of high trade volume.

Sometimes they get paused, but I don't think they get completely closed down because of that.

High sales volume means lots of money for PayPal.

That said- PayPal is looking down on things like 100% commissions these days. Anything like Rapid Action Profits, or offering affiliates in Warrior + or JV Zoo 100% commissions can get you on PayPal's bad side.

As for your question- I think it depends on how big you want your product to be. There are a lot more affiliates on CB, but JVZoo seems to be the higher quality platform- and is getting a LOT more updates than CB.

I've tried to buy things from people that use JVZoo and there is always some type of error with PayPal so I would try ClickBank IMO!

JVZOO is racing fast to close in on Clickbank, in my opinion JVZOO is the best choice for anything to do with internet marketing, Clickbank is great for any other niche.

About the 100% commission: some say they have problems with paypal, some say they don't. The top WSO sellers still say they have no problems with paypal. But in case you doubt, just ask paypal, that is always the best way. And that goes for any doubts on any subject for any site including Clickbank and JVZOO.

The same goes for the block paypal sets to accounts. You can ask paypal why they do it from time to time, and you get a very good answer.

Test them both and see which one really works for you. The best way to find out in my opinion.

I like JVZOO as well but I don't use it for selling anything and probably never will. The reason is because once your customer buys your product through JVZOO, JVZOO thinks that they are now THEIR customer.

This means that when your customers go to download their product they will see lots of ads for other IM products (whether your product was IM related or not). JVZOO will also put them on their mailing list and send them promotional emails. I have received six emails from JVZOO (not an individual vendor) promoting the same JVZOO product in one day. I'm sure they wouldn't resend to me if I opened them immediately but still, I view this as spam from the service provider. And does the last vendor I purchased from get commissions on all these other products JVZOO is promoting? I don't think so.

I try to protect my customers from other people's spammy promotion. So I don't currently use JVZOO.

But a final thought is this: Why don't you use multiple transaction service providers? Have sales pages set up for each one. You can set it up like this:
yourdomain.com - buy with PayPal (no affiliate program) or RAP (with affiliates)
yourdomain.com/cb - buy through ClickBank with their affiliates
yourdomain.com/jvz - buy through JVZOO with their affiliates
yourdomain.com/wso - buy through WarriorPlus with their affiliates

As long as you do nothing to cheat your affiliates out of their commissions, they won't mind. You can use several different affiliate marketplaces to reach the most affiliates.

Also, check out DigiResults. You can sell your clickbank product through them as well as your direct sales. They don't send out email to your customers either. Their marketplace and affiliate pool isn't as big as JVZoo or W+ but their service is, IMHO, the best.

First and foremost, JVZoo commissions are instant via PayPal. In my opinion this is the number one reason affiliates are flocking to JVZoo. As compared to ClickBank who makes it hard for new affiliates to get paid, and traditional networks like Commission Junction that may take up to 90 days to pay your commissions, JVZoo uses PayPal’s Adaptive Payments technology to pay you instantly at the point of sale.

According to their site:

Our system runs on Paypal’s adaptive payment system which allows your payments to go directly into your PayPal account the moment a sale is made. Unlike other instant payment systems with Paypal, JVZoo has a true payment system that allows you to be paid for EVERY sale that is made.

If you’ve been in affiliate marketing long enough you would have probably tried various affiliate programs that implement “instant split PayPal payment” for sales and commissions – sites like . In theory the program will split payments received from buyers between sellers and buyers, directly to their PayPal account. In practice however, it uses a rotational order button to distribute payment between the seller and affiliates at the percentage set by the seller.

In other words, if a seller set commissions to be 50%, the first sale will be made to the seller’s PayPal account, while the second sale will be made to the affiliate’s PayPal account. The third sale goes back to the seller’s PayPal account, and so on.


There’s a massive problem with this model: REFUNDS!


When a buyer requests for a refund, the seller would have to check if the payment was made to his PayPal account, or to the affiliate’s PayPal account. If he did not receive the payment, he would have to ask the buyer to contact the affiliate directly (or contact the affiliate on the seller’s behalf) to get a refund.


As you can expect, this is a very messy and potentially destructive for your online reputation. Buyers would find it difficult to get their money back from the affiliate, especially when some of them may have never known a third person was involved in their purchase.

I don't buy any products from ClickBank because of the tax they charge. And I don't get charged tax from JVZoo or anyone else I buy from.

I, for one, am just starting but I got the feeling and the input the jvzoo is better. I can't help you with details and reasons but it's just a ground feeling of better-ness when it comes to the first one.

You should use JVzoo or WF for product launch and the move your product to Clickbank or clicksure.
Hope this help

Clickbank. Jvzoo is basically an affiliate management system. You have to collect payment yourself using your own paypal address. There's always a risk there

Hi Taskemann,

I'm curious to know how you made out with your membership product launch and what you decided between jvzoo or Clickbank?

I'm just getting ready to launch a membership site geared toward offline businesses and I started to set it up with Wishlist but then after some research found that DAP allows not only to integrate with jvzoo but you can set up several different affiliate programs for the same membership site just by creating separate sales pages and products within DAP (not visible to everyone but affiliates would send their traffic to the corresponding sales page to the affiliate network they are in)

So, I'm now setting this all up but would love to know how you are getting on with your choice?

Thanks,
Sally

I am a jvzoo affiliate

but people totally get it with clickbank, JVZOO it is harder to.....

1) test and track everything.

2) Upscale and move to PPV, other PPC networks, and larger media if you have a winner.

3) Purchase banner ads on high traffic forums and blogs. I have 39 ads on different blogs and another 25 or so ads on forums. LOL. Yes, its a pain to track lol, but these are very high converting ads, because they are infront of high targeted traffic. You do not even have to be good ad copy, you just have to test and track it all.

4) Make sure you are sending them to optin page and use videos, audio and email messages to build relationship, then plug what your offer is.

5) People love gettin free reports...but here is the kicker, send them free reports with affiliate links, your own stuff, more offers and even higher priced products. When I did this my income doubled literally within a week.

6) Don't just use PPC, we are 2012 now, and make use of social media, press releases, media, guest posting, and other areas like blog commenting on high traffic sites. You do this, and then track these and see which one is brining you home the bacon, then you cancel the ones not working and you go nuts with the tactic that worked.

Do all this, and you will be well on your way to $300+ a day.

Remember I have my own products. Being an affiliate is good, but you will soon find you are making someone else rich. Make your own products and find affiliates to market it for you....$100 dollars a day will seem like chicken feed when you actually have your own successful products, but for now just do what I said above you should be good to go.

So I pick clickbank, and learn to do lists, and you should be sweet. Listbuilding seems to go better with clickbank than JVZOO, but that is just my experience.

If I were you I would choose Jvzoo over clickbank because you don't have to pay the fee to be in clickbank. Maybe It has changed where Jvzoo charges a fee for your products now. I would choose Jvzoo over Clickbank

Dear..you make money online to..make money easily right ??
So I'd really recommend you to get money straight to paypal...JV-ZOOOO

They are awesome..
they pay a the same minute as the guarantee of the vendor ends..which means that if there's a 30 day money-back guarantee..well..you will get your money only after the 30 days are ended and the buyer has not asked for a refund..so you can be sure that the money you earned..is yours FOR LIFETIME !!

That's my point of view..go on that man !

I always remember my first sale on JVZOO ..97 $ WORTH PRODUCT..MADE 48,50 $ commission..WAS AMAZED..and knew that I could keep that money for LIFE..no need to mess with refund..cause i got paid by jvzoo ONLY AFTER THE 30 DAYS GUARANTEE WAS OVER..and the buyer didnt ask for a refund !
I join here a screenshot so you see byyourself how it feels/look when you get your first payment haha
Only to make you smile..and to show you everyone can !
