Can someone explain, is ClickBank legit for beginners?

I’m new to affiliate marketing and heard about this site but can’t tell if it’s reliable or just another scam for beginners like me. I’ve checked a couple reviews online and they were all over the place. Anyone actually started with it and can share what happened?

ClickBank is legit (it’s been around since the late ’90s and pays out reliably), but beginners get burned because the marketplace is full of low-quality info products—so treat it like a CPA network and vet offers by gravity + refund rate + affiliate resources + funnel quality, then test with small paid traffic (e.g., $20–$50/day) using a tracker like Voluum/RedTrack and UTM hygiene instead of relying on hype reviews. If you want the “safe” path: promote recurring/low-refund offers, insist on a real VSL→orderform→OTO flow you can pre-sell ethically, and expect to iterate creatives/angles fast because ClickBank compliance and buyer intent vary wildly by niche.
