Answer is yes, there are people making money from Clickbank affiliate marketing offers. But, there are ways to do that. For example, I use Google Ads to promote many Clickbank affiliate marketing offers, but it is not as easy as it sounds. For example, one cannot directly use an affiliate url / link in Google Ads, safer to promote niches that are not in the restricted or not allowed categories as per Google Ads policies. Buy domains and create websites pertaining to the Clickbank products that you want to promote. The websites must have a lot of relevant and valuable content and in such a website, a few affiliate URLs / links can be used. Do not mix things up, create 1 website per Clickbank product. Ofcourse, there are many other aspects while promoting Clickbank affiliate marketing offers through Google Ads. But, yes people do make money by promoting Clickbank affiliate marketing offers, if done the right way. There are people promoting Clickbank affiliate marketing offers even through YouTube, Quora, Reddit, etc, but the methods used needs to be correct. Bottomline is never directly promote the affiliate url / link and provide a lot of relevant and valuable content in your Quora, Reddit, etc comments & replies. Yeah, people also buy upvotes for such comments & replies. So, everything cannot be explained in detail in just a few paragraphs, as various methods are quite exhaustive in nature. However, I have given (in my experience and opinion) a basic direction which can be built upon.
