Clickbank or Own Affiliate Program?

This is the main reason why I chose ClickBank.

They are a well known and trusted.

Affiliates know they will get paid. Like a clockwork if I may add.
Twice a month, no ifs, no buts.

With some other networks where they merely track the sales/commissions, the vendor utilizing the platform is responsible to pay the affiliates. Sometimes, the vendor may forget to pay. It has happened to me.

The "high" fees that clickbank charges are reasonable given the fact that they manage all affiliate payment for you.

Oh, another thing about Clickbank is that they are "real people" with heart. I say this because back in 2002, Malaysians were banned from signing up. I really wanted to sign-up so I emailed them, called them, and actually talked with the CEO then (Steve Rouses).
who finally allowed me to setup an account with them.

Even today, despite their growth and popularity, they still take time to reply my emails.

Which other company would do this? 2 years ago, my paypal account was frozen because I access it via a US-based VPN - I called them numerous times but each time, I was routed to some 'service' agent based in China (base on the accent) and I was given the same canned mesg each time.

Anyway, consider the pros and cons and have fun :-)
