Affiliate marketing can be an amazingly profitable way to develop a home business. The majority of new affiliate markets spend a lot of time working through the trial and error of finding products, choosing affiliate programs and learning how to market their affiliate links effectively.
One site I have worked with was ClickBank. Although they offer a huge marketplace with many digital and informational products to promote, I felt something was missing with them. So I decided to do a search to find another place that I could compare with ClickBank and see which I would prefer.
This is where PayGear can offer an alternative solution. While there are a few drawbacks to the PayGear system, overall there are a lot of benefits too. Lets look at some of the things I found:
The Merchant Side of PayGear
1. PayGear offers a free vendor account whereas ClickBank charges.
2. You get instant approval on your products where at other sites there is usually a wait.
3. PayGear allows merchants to sell both physical and digital products. ClickBank has a limitation on selling only digitally delivered goods and products.
4. Your payments can be made in real time. ClickBank makes you wait until payment for your products is processed, approved and then sent.
5. PayGear boasts the lowest transactional fees in the affiliate marketing industry.
PayGear vs. ClickBank Affiliate Facilities
1. Affiliate commissions are allowable up to a massive 95% with PayGear, while ClickBank has a limitation of only 75% as their maximum commission rate.
2. You have the ability to track all sales in real time.
3. Affiliates are given access to all the marketing tools they require immediately via PayGear, whereas ClickBank requires that you source your marketing tools directly from each individual merchant.
4. Your payout can be made via PayPal if you choose, or you can request for a check to be posted out. ClickBank makes new affiliates wait until after theyve received at least 3 paper checks before theyll allow an electronic payment request to be entered.
5. Youre able to buy products you want using your own affiliate link. Many other sites wont allow you to be an affiliate on your own affiliate account.
In my opinion, the positives of PayGear far outweighed the negatives, however to give an honest review I will let you know what I didn’t like about this affiliate site.
I am not very fond of waiting a month to get paid. Even though PayGear does offer a weekly auto billing most vendors do not take advantage of this. I prefer to always be paid either weekly or at least bi-weekly like ClickBank.
So if youre looking for an alternative to ClickBank to source new affiliate products to promote, then consider PayGear.
