Merry Christmas to Me!
Well, I’m finally making some sales on one of my affiliate promotion sites, but since most of the purchases are paid via PayPal, I’m still not “eligible” to get paid by ClickBank. Even though I have a couple hundred dollars in commissions sitting there, you have to have sales on at least 5 different credit cards for ClickBank to send you a check, and of course PayPal doesn’t count towards those 5 purchases.
I understand their reasoning, they don’t want to make it too easy for people to sign up as “affiliates” just to get a rebate on one of their products, thereby screwing the real affiliates, who are actually working hard promoting products for sale, out of earning commissions for their hard work. Still, it is frustrating.
So, my ingenious plan is to have a few people who keep asking me what I want for Christmas, to which I typically answer “nothing,” buy me an inexpensive Christmas gift from ClickBank through my affiliate link, using a credit card. It’s a win-win-win-win situation. I get something I want for Christmas, which I might not necessarily buy for myself but I certainly could use (and is better than a Chia pet), those who want to buy me something have a cheap wish list to choose from, and give me the gift of money besides, Clickbank gets a couple more sales, and the vendors get a couple more sales. Damn, I’m brilliant!
So, here’s my cheap wish list:
