The Bad

The Bad

1. Mainly for Vendors

Like I've said, there are a lot more information on creating and selling your own product than promoting other people's product. The training on the affiliate side is not not really updated.

So, if you're looking to make money by promoting other people's products (i.e. affiliate marketing), I would say ClickBank University 2.0 is NOT for you. You should be looking at programs like Wealthy Affiliate University!

However, if you're interested in creating your own digital product (e.g. online courses, programs, membership site, eBooks, etc.) and selling it online, ClickBank University 2.0 is a good place for you to start. They have one of the best training for you.

2. Beware of ClickBank Builder 2.0

ClickBank Builder 2.0 Upsell immediately after purchasing their membership

This has been discussed above but just let me recap on all the problems with ClickBank Builder 2.0:

It's expensive compared to other similar tools in the market

There's a "website lock-in" issue where you must host your website at ClickBank

The training focuses on using this tool so it will be a huge disadvantage if you purchased their training without purchasing this tool

They didn't told you upfront about this upsell but they're making it "necessary" for the course

3. A lot of Training is Locked

One more issue with their training, both the affiliate and the vendor side, is that you're not allowed to go through all the training videos once you join. They only allow you to watch few and they'll unlock each one for you after some time.

According to them, this is to avoid you from skipping any steps. However, it's really quite annoying for many people when they can't get access to everything even after they've paid the price.

I'm also guessing that this is one of their "secret strategy" to keep you longer inside the community so that you will pass the 30-Day Money-Back duration. (Just my personal opinion)

One solution for this will be to Email them and they'll help you unlock. However, this is definitely quite troublesome.

4. Low Quality Weekly Webinars

Like I've said earlier, their weekly webinars don't have a very clear topic so random questions just flew in anytime and the whole presentation was just very messy.

Another problem is that a lot of the questions asked are beginners questions. So, if you're more experienced, you won't find these webinars helpful.

5. Only Paid Traffic is Covered

One last disadvantage of CBU 2.0 is that they only teach you about paid traffic in their course. And the paid traffic they focus on are just Facebook Ads and Instagram Influencer Marketing.

They didn't cover the free traffic part so they totally missed out on methods like Search Engine Optimization (SEO), content marketing and free social media marketing.

In other words, you also need to invest money in paid traffic in addition to the monthly membership cost, ClickBank Builder cost and other essential tools' cost.

When you add everything together, you'll find that you're investing $1,000++ a year on CBU which doesn't guarantee you to see results within a certain period of time.
