How much does it cost to join ClickBank?
Joining ClickBank is completely free. There are no upfront fees or annual subscription costs to create an account, whether you are signing up as an affiliate or a vendor.
Cost Breakdown:
- For Affiliates:
- Free to join and start promoting products.
- Affiliates can browse the ClickBank marketplace, choose products to promote, and start earning commissions on sales without paying any fees to ClickBank.
- You only pay for any advertising or marketing costs you incur (e.g., paid ads, website hosting, etc.), but these are optional and depend on how you choose to promote products.
- For Vendors:
- Free to join and list digital products for sale on ClickBank.
- However, vendors are charged a fee when they make a sale. This is usually a commission fee that ClickBank deducts from the sale. The fee is typically a 7.5% commission plus a $2.50 flat fee per sale.
- This means vendors pay a percentage and a flat rate for every transaction made through ClickBank, but there is no cost to initially list or sell products on the platform.
Additional Costs for Vendors:
- Payment processing fees: ClickBank charges a small fee for processing payments (including affiliate payouts).
- Marketing or advertising expenses: If vendors want to promote their products or run ads, they will incur additional costs related to their own marketing campaigns.
Summary:
- No cost to sign up as either an affiliate or a vendor.
- Affiliates only pay for their marketing efforts (advertising, website hosting, etc.).
- Vendors pay a commission fee per sale made through ClickBank, which is 7.5% plus a $2.50 flat fee per transaction.
