Earlier this week I signed up to be a Click Booth Affiliate. Since affiliate marketing is all the rage right now, I thought I would have a look and see what everyone is talking about.
I previously signed up for Click Bank and found the site to be annoying to navigate. A few of the offers seemed to be solid products that I would have liked to test and possibly promote, but I couldn’t easily find the resources I was looking for.
Having had such a turn-off experience with Click Bank, I was very skeptical of Click Booth. Boy was I in for a shock.
Click Booth Educates Their Affiliates to Ensure Success
Click Booth approves each affiliate individually. I don’t get the impression that they are super strict about website since they offer several methods of promotion, but they are strict about educating their affiliates.
Once you are initially accepted, you are required to watch 3 videos totaling nearly 90 minutes covering everything from the definition of of EPC to the forms of internet fraud (which they take very seriously).
After watching the videos, you get to take a 38 question test where the minimum score to pass is 80%. The questions remind me of defensive driver courses where they ask a couple questions that only people who watch the video would know the answers.
Click Booth Provides Amazing Support for Their Affiliates
Upon passing the test, you will get a call from an account approval staff member who will talk with you briefly about your experience (even if you have none).
You’ll get an e-mail shortly after saying that you’ve been accepted and how to log in. In the top left corner you have your own “affiliate strategist” who will answer any questions you have about what campaigns to promote, how to promote them, and just about anything else you could ask for.
I was very impressed with the quality of the service I’ve received from my strategist.
Click Booth Provide Affiliates with All the Marketing Material They Need (and more)
When you first start sifting through the campaigns, you’ll only be able to see about 200-250 of the over 4000 affiliate campaigns they have going on. Apparently, after you’ve proven yourself and started making some sales, more offers become available.
Each campaign tells you the name, the payout, the media (web banner, e-mail, search, etc…), and the EPC (which is the stat I pay the most attention to).
Once you pick a campaign that you are eligible for, you’ll come to a page with all the marketing material you could possibly need. They have banners in almost every size (ranging from 125 x 125 to the huge 720 x 60 and 160 x 600, depending on the campaign) and the EPC for each banner. I think it is awesome being able to see how well each banner performs.
You can also preview each landing page to read about the product and determine if it sounds like something you would use or be willing to promote. In fact, I was ready to buy 2 or 3 of the offers on the spot after reading about them!
Live Like a Super Affiliate Bloggers Charity Contest
Right now, to make Click Booth even more appealing, they are running the Live Like a Super Affiliate Bloggers Charity Contest. Be sure to read the rules before you sign up!
The prizes are spectacular!
I know there are tons of amazing programs out there. While I haven’t tried all of them, I know a strong product when I see one. I’m convinced that if you are considering trying your hand in affiliate marketing, Click Booth is an excellent program that is worth trying.
Disclosure: If you sign up as an affiliate for Click Booth using my link, I will get stamp money to send you a thank you!

That’s not good: they required a “www” prefix on the domain name. I’ve got my redirects set up for it though.
So we’ll see what happens.

I wait your first report of this affiliate earning. :D

Hearing three videos of 90 minutes!!! That’s too much

I’m going to be doing some promoting outside of my blog too. I definitely think it has a ton of potential.

90 min is a lot of time. It’s actually probably closer to 60 minutes now that I’ve gone back and looked again, but either way it requires a time investment.
I think the reason most affiliate marketers fail to make money is because they don’t put the time and effort into learning how everything works. Part of being a good affiliate marketer is researching.

I haven’t used Clickbooth before. Might have to give them a try one day…just not today.

I’m very impressed with clickbooth so far. Braden, my “favorite” (cough only cough) affiliate strategist has been extremely helpful looking for campaigns that would fit my blog. He has even helped find offers that I wasn’t “qualified” for (because I’m new to the network) and got me approved.
Clickbooth doesn’t give you all your offers at once to make sure only the best affiliate get the best offers.
If you are willing to put in the time and effort to be successful, Click Booth will make your walk into affiliate marketing so much easier.

Unfortunately, it took a humbling experience for me to realize that, and this industry has been very compassionate and awakening. . . I wrote about it in my book
