Start a ClickBank Meetup Group
March 3rd, 2009 | 
Author: In spite of all the great tools that have been developed in recent years to help Internet-based entrepreneurs connect with each other and increase their productivity, there is still a lot of value in old-fashioned, face-to-face meetings. In-person discussions with other entrepreneurs can help you get your questions answered, find new partners for joint ventures, or teach you powerful new techniques for growing your business. Many successful ClickBank publishers and affiliates have already discovered the value that comes from starting or joining these kinds of groups.
One of the best ways to meet and interact with other like-minded entrepreneurs is through the Web site Meetup.com. No matter where you are in the world, you can create or join a group in your city and start meeting and working with other ClickBank publishers and affiliates. Starting your own Meetup group costs as little as $12/month, which could pay for itself if you make just one extra sale a month through ClickBank. Joining an existing group is free!
Some of the ways a ClickBank Meetup group could benefit you include:
- Finding new products or niches to promote as an affiliate
- Getting feedback on your ClickBank product prior to release, or getting advice on improving an existing product
- Brainstorming ideas for new products
- Meeting people who can teach you new skills or assist you in areas that aren’t your strength (for example, if you’re a great copywriter but don’t know anything about Web design, you might meet someone with the opposite skill set who would love to work with you on a new product)
- Discussing the latest and greatest techniques for promoting products inexpensively
These are just some of the many ways that working directly with other people can help you grow or strengthen your online business. If you’re interested in starting an affiliate marketing Meetup group in your area, click here to get started. Since you have to choose from a list of pre-defined topics for your group, we suggest “Entrepreneur,” “Network Marketing,” or “Internet Professionals.”
If you organize or are a member of a Meetup group that discusses ClickBank, fill out the form below and give us a link to your group on Meetup. We’ll list existing groups so that other people in your area can join up and grow the network of ClickBank publishers and affiliates helping each other succeed!

I don’t know if this idea comes from the suggestion I made that ClickBank should support JV partnership between Clickbank merchants a few weeks ago.
I think it should be Clickbank’s initiative to create a Clickbank group.
However why not gather in a Ning group or a facebook group.
I am a bit concerned that people would just spam such a group to promote their next launch though .
I am receiving such emails every week already.
HEY Guys
This sounds like a GREAT idea to me!!!
Let me start off by saying that I am somewhat of a “newbie” to Affiliate Marketing.
But, knowing the vast reach of ClickBanks resources, I can see that this is going to be at the Very Least, a Tidal Pool of Marketing Knowledge.
My best guess is that it will become, an Endless Water Fall of one on one help and discussion, and TONs of useful information..
Thanks for the New Resource ClickBank!!!
It’s just meee …. Tim
It all sounds like a great idea on the surface, however, I think clickbank should start a group on facebook, or one of the already established, FREE social networking sites. This would just turn into another social networking tool that would absorb so much productive time away from the work we all have to get done.
I also agree with Natalie, above, I’m afraid it would only become a place for people to spam it’s members, trying to sell them on their latest niche idea.
It could work, but I think the tools are already out there, we need to use them to their full potential first.
