Getting my money from Clickbank

Hi,

During the start of my IM days I built niche sites and used clickbank as my first company to sell products. I quickly became bored of doing it this way and went on to create more worthwhile sites. I have just looked at my clickbank account now and I have about $200 which I want to get at. It isn't much but not bad considering I spent about 30 mins building the site.

Anyway, I know clickbank has some rules about when I can get paid. I was wondering if I could buy a product for like $5 using my own affiliate link.

I have already used this technique once before so i'm unsure if I might be wasting my money because clickbank needs a certain number of different payment methods before they send me my money right?

I'm leaving to go travelling for 2 years in 3 weeks and would love to find a way to get this money.

Any advice welcome

    Yes, it does. And you really need to read them for yourself. Here they are (top paragraph).

    Yes, you can. And it'll count as one of your five qualifying purchases toward the Customer Distribution Requirement.

    There's a chocolate-cake recipe e-book for something like $3.95 (I think) which pays commission, too, and is said not to be bad.

    You can also get a couple of friends/relatives to buy it, perhaps, using your affiliate-link?

    And remember that the CDR refers to five different credit-cards, NOT to five different customers.

    You'll need to be very quick, to get the money within 3 weeks, especially if it's coming by check. You need to work it out carefully, paying particular attention to the pay period and payment-date details, and so on. But most importantly of all, read it all for yourself on Clickbank's website and don't rely on second-hand opinions in forums, because it's normal for threads like this to fill up rapidly with misinformation and incorrect advice from people who mean well but may just be repeating what other people have said without verifying it for themselves.

      Time isn't an issue I can get a family member to cash it.

      So I need 5 different payment. I have 3 so far so just another two with different credit details. Shouldn't be too hard

      Just means i'll lose about $10 in the process of geting the money
