I have a series of e-books that will be released on one of my sites, with the first e-book coming out in a few weeks at most. I’m looking at both E-junkie and Clickbank as possible sales platforms to handle delivery and affiliate programs. Any thoughts on which would be best?
I know Clickbank seems to have the better-known affiliate program and likely more built-in affiliates. They also seem like it would be more hands-off to run an affiliate program through them, whereas I’m getting the feeling with E-junkie that it’s more manual. Am I getting that right?
My concern is that I don’t plan to launch the affiliate program until the e-book has been out for a few weeks (when I’ll be raising the price, as I’ll have tapped most of the market members I’m directly involved with). Can Clickbank work well in that kind of situation, or should I go with E-junkie if that’s what I want to do?
Currently I only use Clickbank as an affiliate, and I’ve sold one e-book through E-junkie, so I’d really love some feedback from those more experienced if possible.

Back on January 18th, I launched a 14 day e-book writing challenge on my freelance writing blog. The idea was simple: to encourage people to really get moving with their e-book ideas while being able to support each other along the way.
Interestingly, I’ve seen people say 14 days is far too much time for this challenge, and just today I saw some comments on another blog about it saying that 14 days is too little time to write a quality e-book. What are your thoughts on that?
Personally, I think it’s more than adequate. I wrote my first e-book (albeit short), and had it online ready for sale, within just five hours.
I’m obviously writing an e-book during the challenge (although not the longer one I’ve been slowly working on about pre-launch book publicity). I’m not going to go into too much detail about it other than to say that it’s targeting freelance writers.
Although I’ll be detailing the process a little bit over at All Freelance Writing, I’ll likely be updated here at Jentrepreneur regarding sales and such after the fact. What I know for now is that I’m not going with a traditionally long-form e-book sales letter, I’m using e-junkie as my payment processor / delivery service, and I’ll be setting up an affiliate program (my first, so that’s bound to be an experience).
Wish me luck, and if you have any tips along the way (especially the post-publishing area or dealing with affiliate marketing), feel free to let me know.
