It just hit me... with clothing being a $200 billion dollar industry in the US, why are there 0 Clickbank Vendors selling custom-made clothing?

      Oh that is right, electronic products only on Clickbank. Weird.

      Do any other affiliate networks offer physical goods?

    Ditto. Clickbank is just for downloadable products so they couldn't sell physical stuff which is why clothing is out.

    You can find the clickbank blog talking about physical versions of info products some 9 months ago, this gives a merchant another upsell path as well as a means to capture a mail address. The physical products seem to be limited to Disk or printed book versions of digital products.

    The majority of affiliate networks are about physical products. Clickbank affiliates are so accustomed to high commissions they would probably have a hard time adapting to the 2% - 15% associated with most physical products.

      The clothing industry doesn't operate on 2% - 15% commissions. Quite the opposite. The middle tier and above clothing industry operates on 50% - 90% commissions. Far higher than typical affiliate commissions on Clickbank. Hence the inquiry by me on why there seems to be no affiliate market around clothing.

        Do you honestly see many Clickbank products offering affiliate commissions of 2-15%, Ti? I honestly thought it was the other way round: many of the products I see sold through CB offer commission-rates of 50%+.

    For now clickbank is just offering downloadable product. Physical product maybe in the near future.
