Clickbank is piloting offering physical products

If you're a Clickbank vendor, you may be interested in this: http://www.clickbank.com/blog/2009/11/30/clickbank-vendors-join-the-shippable-media-pilot/

They don't give a lot of details, but you can apply to see if your product qualifies for their pilot program.

Hmmmm... I'm unsure what to make of this. At least 60% of their digital content smacks of "fraud", not so sure if they'll play the same act with physical content? On the other hand, if they improve their reputation, we've got another worthy contender then. :)

Well spotted Kayla, thanks for the update. I'm sure this will be a great option for lots of people.

Good news, hopefully. I haven't been to clickbank in a while. Have they come into the 21st century and started offering paypal payments yet?

[Kayla Fay]

Better - they offer direct deposit - so no Paypal fees.

They are getting better about a lot of things - recurring payments, and much better tracking capabilities, some new analytics.

Thanks Kayla. May have to take another look at them.

Hmm I might have to check that out. I've been working on a physical product and I was looking for an easy affiliate solution. Thanks for posting this!

Thanks, Kayla, I signed up with that link. It would be nice to have all my products- physical and downloadable - in the same place!

Hey Kayla...

I checked your link and it seems Clickbank took the page down. No reference can be found on the blog.

I know there are workarounds for selling physical products on Clickbank... but they seem convoluted and not worth the effort as customers would be confused.

Any clues as to what they might be planning???

Thanks Debra

Does anyone ever know what happened to this -- ClickBank piloting physical products? I would have loved it (from the vendor side of things) if they still are thinking of it! Any news on this would be great!
