How To Find Out About CPA Offer Payouts

Posted by JasperP on November 11th, 2008

Usually when I hear of an offer, I’ll check the affiliate networks I’m associated with to see what the payouts are.  Sometimes, however, the offers aren’t available in my networks.  After that I check out two sites: Offer Vault and AffSpy.

Offer Vault and Affspy are two sites that track various offers in the different affiliate networks.  I personally like Offer Vault better because of the fact that all the payouts and everything are laid out in front of you.  In AffSpy, you have to click through the offer to see which networks are promoting it.  I guess it’s a matter of preference but that’s the big difference to me.

I did a search on “dating” and here’s what it came up with:

Looking for a specific offer “Omaha Steaks”: 

You can see that the data is different. Offer Vault shows MaxBounty while AffSpy doesn’t have MaxBounty.  The data may not be consistent between both networks, but It’s good to have both, so sign up now! It’s free!

My First Clickbank Direct Deposit

Posted by JasperP on June 1st, 2008

Yes! My first direct deposit from Clickbank! I’ve always received the paper checks and I remembered hearing that you can get direct deposit with clickbank. I read on some forums that all you have to do is request it to get direct deposit.

Clickbank Direct Deposit - Secret Bonus?

In case you didn’t know, getting direct deposit from Clickbank is kind of hidden. There’s no information for it in their help files and supposedly you need to be making $1000+ per month in order to get this added to your accounts. It doesn’t hurt to ask, so why not right?

“I want it. Give me the direct deposit!”

What I did was I went to the Clickbank Contact Us Page at:
https://www.clickbank.com/publisherquestion.html

I filled out the basic info and asked, “I would like to setup direct deposit for my account. What do I need to fill out?” They sent me a PDF form to fill out where I attached a voided check. Within a couple of days, I was approved for it!

So on May 30, I look in my bank account and see this:

I blurred out my clickbank ID, but I think you get the picture! Now I don’t have to wait for that one Clickbank check to arrive to get my money.

The benefits of this is that I get the check 1 day early and plus I don’t have to drive to the bank! It’s a win-win-win situation.

I don’t get why they don’t make it standard like the other affiliate networks. CJ, ShareASale, AzoogleAds, and other major networks offer a direct deposit option for all their affiliates. Oh well. Go figure.
