Clickbank’s Newest Rival–Click2Sell

11. November 2008 by Pat.

There is a new kid on the block and it’s called Click2Sell. Click2Sell is similar to Clickbank, but has more features and options for sellers and affiliates.  It’s a complete all-in-one system for merchants to sell products online (mostly digital products such as ebooks, software, etc.), run affiliate programs and recruit affiliates. It’s also an affiliate programs network for affiliates to select and promote products from Click2Sell Marketplace and earn affiliate commissions.Click2Sell is a merchant platform, affiliate marketing portal, and online payment processor transaction coordinator.  Really, it’s an easy to use, all-in-one solution!According to various super-affiliates like Rosalind Gardner, Allan Gardyne, Zac Johnson,

Garry Conn, Jim Karter and others, Click2Sell is like enhanced Clickbank.  See their thoughts about Click2Sell at the end.It’s therefore catered to both – merchants and affiliates. For merchants—Click2Sell coordinates sales via 3rd-party payment processors including PayPal, Moneybookers, WorldPay, Authorize.net, and Google Checkout and allows them to run their own affiliate program.*Benefits for Merchants*• Limitless account without set-up, upgrade or monthly fees. It’s free.
• Receive funds instantly. Since Click2Sell deals with 3rd-party payment processors, payment is sent to merchants’ or business account such as
PayPal or Moneybookers immediately. There is no more waiting as you would with other sites. You can also accept direct credit card payments to your Authorize.net or Paypal PRO accounts.
• Multi-currency processing. Payments are dealt with 3rd-party payment
processors, merchants can choose what currency to sell their products
in, eliminating currency conversion fees.
• No waiting period for product approval.• 100% refund control. Refunds are easily managed from the refunds section of the control panel.
• Complete Affiliate Management. All merchants can easily let other affiliates sell their product. They can set commissions to any rate up to 95%, choose to accept affiliates manually or automatically, ban unwanted affiliates, track the number of affiliates and their
performance, and (my favorite): set custom commissions for special/super affiliates or JV partners. This lets you reward, as well as provide incentive to others, to affiliates who are generating you a lot of sales.
• Sell products including material and subscription-based services. You can also sell subscription-based services such as a private monthly newsletter or access to online game you run. Click2Sell will manage all these things automatically for you.
• Gather additional information from buyers. This option is useful for many reasons (e.g., you could ask people to give you contact information and create a mailing list…).*Benefits for Affiliates*• Accounts are completely free.  If a returning visitor buys a product within 6 months - you still get the commission.
• Merchant Rating System - Each Click2Sell merchant is rated after each payment for affiliates, so you can easily find the honest and reliable merchants. If a merchant doesn’t fulfill an obligation, then they will be quickly removed from the system. This means that only honest people do business in Click2Sell.
• Receive up to 95% affiliate commissions - Merchants can choose the rate of the commission up to 95%, there are a lot of offers out there which pay a very high commission rate.
• Affiliates receive their commissions to Paypal or Moneybookers account.
• Affiliates are able to contact merchants and vice versa: this is one of my favorite features in Click2Sell. You can contact merchant directly and ask any questions you need.*Statistics*If you use Clickbank then you will understand how big upgrade Click2Sell reporting tools are for your campaign.Real-time (!) reporting area of the control panel is very detailed. In fact, it is so powerful and specific-to-detail that it is split into 7 sub-pages: General, Daily Report, Conversion Report, Referral Report, Refunds, Transactions, and Keywords.General Report shows an overview of all activities in one place using graphic chart including: your own affiliate earnings, earnings your affiliates, earnings from your referrals, number of visitors, sales, conversion rate, commissions fees, and profit to give the bottom line.You can create different tracking channels to test various advertising options. You will not need to install complicated tracking scripts any more in order to track sales conversions. With Click2Sell everything is made easier.*Referral Program*Residual Income - get 30% from Click2Sell income paid by your referred member. You will be paid as long as your referred members – whether merchants or affiliates - stay active and sell products!*Fees*This is one of the major perks to sell your products with Click2Sell: there is no commissions’ percentage taken. Click2Sell has simple fee rate, charging $1, $2, or $3 depending on the scale of transaction.Only merchants are charged this fee; affiliates never have to pay a cent since they are paid by the merchant.Let’s hear what others have to say:   Rosalind Gardner (one of the most famous super-affiliates): “My hat’s off to the Click2Sell developers.”

Allan Gardyne (most famous Australian super-affiliate):“It looks worth keeping an eye on.”

Tyler Cruz:  “Overall, I was very impressed with Click2Sell and will definitely be using them if I ever have a product to sell. Their immense array of features for merchants including the ability to control their own affiliate program makes them a valuable resource for anyone selling or even thinking of selling a product. I highly recommend Click2Sell. “

Blogtrepreneur (known and solid blog):“I tried pretty hard to find any flaws with this site so that it [a review] didn’t come off sounding like a sales page. I have to be honest though, I don’t really see much downside to Click2Sell.   “Assuming they can continue to grow, add products to their site and stay solvent then I would say they are the best alternative available to marketers today”.

Whether you are a merchant or affiliate – you can find something for you on Click2Sell. If you already sell ebooks, software or any other products online or just thinking about starting your own affiliate marketing business, you should definitely consider Click2Sell as it’s a system that offers you with all the tools vital for your successful online business.
