A Clickbank Conundrum?

Hello all,

First Happy New Year...Here's to making it a great one!

I have a question for those of you who are expierenced with Clickbank. I just uploaded a new sales page and activated my account yesterday. Unfortunately I have a bit of an issue.

About a year ago now I set out to create a system for the construction contracting industry. If any of you have ever worked with programmers before you probably know to add time to the estimated time frame given!
What was originally quoted at a few month project has turned into almost 10 months!

Any rate I want affiliates to promote the service, even though things weren't wrapped up yet I went through the click bank approval process and listed the product as inactive a few months ago.

Now that the fireworks are ready to be lit I checked at click bank and it's not listed in the marketplace. In my account every thing is approved and activated but still not in the marketplace?

I found out that so many sales needed to be made each 30 days in order for the listing to remain in the marketplace..

Now for the "conundrum" part. Is there a way that I can still have affliates sign up to promote even if it's not in the market place? Again on my end of Clickbank everything is ready to go. I've got a good number of people who have been chomping at the bit for months wanting to promote this and want to get the ball rolling asap!...I sent the same question to Clickbank...but because of the holiday (I assume) I have yet to get a response. Patience never has been a strong suit of mine so I'm hoping that someone may have an answer.

Thank You

Happy Trails
Matt
