Clickbank University Review from Current Member

ClickBank recently launched their "ClickBank University" (CBU) earlier this year. They have $1 for a 7-day trial, which can be worth it if you just want to find out what CBU has to offer in their dashboard. I signed up with them earlier this week out of curiosity for $97/month. If you attend their free seminar, you can get a "scholarship" that will save you about $300 for the year. The idea is that instead of paying $1164 for the course for the entire year ($97 x 12 months), they will give you $300 discount so you end up paying $700 something for the entire year. This is an annual plan. I didn't want to take any risk of me not liking the course, so I opted for paying $97/month.

CBU dashboard is easy to navigate. They have videos for every lesson, and most videos are about 5 minutes average for week 1. I thought the contents are good for beginners, but not a lot of new techniques or in-depth explanations for someone who has a background relating to CB affiliation and internet marketing. I'm a little disappointed that their content is rather minimal for my taste. It's geared towards newbies, so I understand their concepts somewhat.

What I dislike most is that CBU controls how many videos/lessons I can go through in a day. They break down their courses into weeks so the students can learn and apply their knowledge...at least I would like to believe that is their intention. But I can also see it as a way for students to stick around. So, if you paid for $1 trial, you'll only get to see lessons available up to week 1 anyway. One week of materials at CBU is not much at all. From what I see, you need about 8 weeks to finish all the courses they have so far.

One of the good things is that CBU just got their site builder up and running. This is one of their selling points. Basically, they allow their students to create their own websites using CB platforms. They provide hosting for free and you can create as many sites as you want. You still have to pay for your own domains though. Nothing fancy here. Kind of reminds me of Weebly.

If you want to cancel, you will have to email their support team. You won't find details on how to go about doing so any where on the website. Good thing is that their response time is rather fast. When I had a question and sent an email to their support team, I got a reply within 24 hours.

What CBU lacks the most is a community. Students haven't been encouraged to interact with each other. Their community is only consisted of several posts on their forum as of right now. Then again, CBU is new so building an interactive community will take time.

These are just my impressions of CBU so far. I intend to stay until I finish all of their courses and see how effective their site builders are. It seems like the lesson plans are geared a lot towards teaching the students on how to create their own products. I will attempt to follow CBU lessons step-by-step as if I were a beginner and see how this goes.

Feel free to ask me any question if you are not sure if you should enroll or not. Also, if you are a CBU member, I'd love to connect and hear your opinions as well.
