E-Junkie vs Clickbank for Selling E-books
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.

I’m an affiliate with Clickbank. IMHO Clickbank would be better as they have a complete army of affiliates. It should work out well with a good product and salescopy.

I’m also an affiliate with them, but haven’t sold anything through them. Right now I have two potential issues that make e-junkie seem like the better option:
1. I want to be able to offer coupon codes, and e-junkie as that built-in. I don’t think I can do that through Clickbank.
2. I don’t want an affiliate program until the product’s been out for a month or two (same for all subsequent products in the series, b/c I have direct access to a large segment of my target buyers for the initial launch sales). I haven’t seen a way to use Clickbank to sell a product without making it available to affiliates, and would prefer not to have to change sales platforms after that initial period.
On the other hand, it seems to be more hands-off in managing an affiliate program with Clickbank, whereas when I’m ready for that I’d have to deal with payouts and such manually I believe with e-junkie.
This is why it’s such a frustrating choice. And why I’m glad the e-book’s taken much longer than expected!
