Clickbank or paypal

Ok I have built my first digital product. I have already started the aproval process for clickbank. However I will not have the 50$ required to make it go live once it is approved. So should I just switch it to paypal after it is approved and waiting for me to pay the funds. I do have a merchants account with paypal but I wanted the clickbank stature of affiliates to help promote my product. I know I can also set it up so others can promote the product and recieve 100% of the commissions but that wouldnt make me any money other then from the list I will be building from the sales page.

    I think you are talking apples & oranges here Clickback is to help with affiliate marketing. Paypal is for payment processing I think you will eventually want to use both in tandem. If I were you for now I would get the payment processing going and deal with the Clickbank issues when you start making some money. There are other ways to market your digital product that are free it doesn't have to be Clickbank yet.

    One of the things I keep seeing and learning from the forum, is to leave paying for anything until the latest point, make sure you have gained expereicne first so that you can fairly assess things, with this in mind my steer would be to focus on Paypal first, Clickbank can come later once you have generate sufficient revenue and expereicen to invest it wisely

      I already have the experiance with all of this. However with all the reading I have been doing both here and another forum. It looks like it is better to build your own product so I did.

      And to the one making point about the paypal button. The paypal button I am actually going to be using when I switch it to paypal will not change from the current button I already installed for click bank. The good old simple gold add to cart button with the credit cards and paypal logo on it. Which will not interfere with paypal or clickbank so I am set in that sense. Also The way I look at it by switching to paypal as soon as they approve it at clickbank. Which should be in a day or so it should only take a couple sales to generate the funds. For the product I actually dropped the price from what I was going to sell it at from 77 to 37.

      I Have also already started promoting the site so that it is ready the second eveything is ready to go for the buyers.

    Either way you'll have to actively seek out affiliates to sell for you. It's rare that just start getting tons of affiliates to start signing up to sell your product on Clickbank just by putting it there.

    I prefer Clcikbank.because paypal sometimes hold your account due to too much money.
    But clickbank has no problem like this.So,stick to clickbank.

      None of what you're saying makes any sense.

      First of all, Clickbank and PayPal, apples and oranges.

      Clickbank - Affiliate marketplace
      PayPal - Payment processor.

      What does getting your product approved by Clickbank have to do with
      you wanting to take PayPal payments? If you want to take PayPal payments
      put a button on your site and be done with it.

      But you don't have to be approved by Clickbank to do that.

      And if you DO have a payment button that goes directly to PayPal, thus
      bypassing the Clickbank buy process, NO affiliate is going to promote
      your product.

      Your whole thread is pointless.

      If it's that you don't have the money to get your product approved, then
      do something to earn the money so that you CAN get it approved and
      paid for.

      Totally pointless what you want to do.
