As a European learning the ropes of actually selling online, sales are few and far between to start. Nothing wrong with that – everyone has to learn.

If we take that thought a little further; every vendor flocks to Clickbank, but as a ‘learner affiliate’ from Europe you don’t want to be receiving checks – checks are really out in this day and age, especially for small amounts. The costs for exchanging a check in a foreign currency are astronomical and chances are the costs will be far greater than the check amount.

Second thing is – Clickbank apart from not being a bank in traditional terms, deduct a percentage of whatever the affiliate has on account with them (earnings). This deduction takes place each month, so if an affiliate earns lets say on average 20 bucks for a sale and that’s the only sale they make that month – then these funds dwindle to nothingness fairly quickly. I have 3 checks I’ve put up in a frame – they are not accepted by our international bank and even if they were, they’re too small to exchange – hence what’s the point. Not very motivating.

Lastly, from the horses mouth; Clickbank doesn’t do bank-to-bank transfers for European affiliates unless they earn 1000 or more bucks per day.

Talk about stressed out. I’ll stick to the alternatives – less stress, more motivation.

Thanks for the help so far.
