Which offers
actually paid
Starter Affiliate ranks ClickBank’s offers on the money they really produced — earnings per click, what one sale pays, how many clicks it takes to get one — then re-sorts the list for anyone still waiting on a first commission.

Every offer on the latest chart. Bubble size is earnings per click — the number that already combines the other two.
The ranked chart
Every offer on the latest list with its earnings per click, average payout and conversion rate — sortable by whichever number decides your next move.
Two ways to read it
The offer paying the most per click, and the one that converts soonest. They are almost never the same offer, and the right one depends on whether you have made a sale yet.
Six months of form
Which offers keep coming back month after month, and which were a single launch spike that has already passed.

Sorted by ClickBank’s rank.
01What a hundred clicks buys
Send a hundred people to an offer and this is roughly how many of them buy. The three that convert fastest on this month’s chart — each dot is one visitor.

03Big payout or first sale
The offers that pay most per sale are not the ones that sell most often. Same month, two different questions.
If you have never made a sale, conversion matters more than payout: the first commission is how you find out your traffic works at all.
04Six months on the chart
Every offer that made the monthly list from March to August. The ones that keep returning are converting month after month; a single appearance can be a launch spike.

What Starter Affiliate will not do
No income promises, no “copy my funnel” upsell, no paid placements on the chart. An offer appears because the published numbers put it there. If Starter Affiliate ever earns a commission from an offer it lists, that link is marked as such, on the chart, every time.
Method
How the
data works
Every figure on the chart is published by ClickBank itself. Starter Affiliate does not estimate, model or guess a single number — it collects them, checks the arithmetic and re-sorts the list.
Where the figures come from
ClickBank publishes a monthly list of its top-performing offers with three numbers for each: average earnings per click, average payout per sale, and conversion rate. Starter Affiliate reads that published list — March to August 2026 so far — and records each month exactly as reported, with the month it came from kept against every row.
The one check we run
Earnings per click should be roughly the payout multiplied by the conversion rate. When those three numbers don’t agree, the row is flagged rather than published. August’s number one passes:
$226.23 average payout × 0.89% conversion = $2.01 per click
What is ClickBank’s and what is ours
The rank is ClickBank’s. The movement tags — new, re-entry, held, bonus pick — come from comparing each month’s list to the one before it. The re-sorting, the six-month chart run and the plain-English read are ours.
What these numbers are not
- They are averages across other affiliates. Those affiliates had their own traffic, their own ads and their own audiences. A high EPC is evidence an offer converts for somebody. It is not a forecast of what it will do for you.
- They are monthly, not live. A list published for August describes August. An offer can stop working in the gap.
- Gravity lags. ClickBank’s gravity score counts affiliates who earned over a rolling twelve weeks, so it trails live changes in spend and demand — a well-documented limit of the score.
- One month proves little. That is why the six-month run is on the picks page: an offer that returns repeatedly is a different proposition to one that spiked once at launch.
What has been checked, and when
- August: verified. Every offer, rank, EPC, payout and conversion rate on the current board was re-checked against ClickBank’s published list on 15 September 2026 and matched exactly.
- March to July: transcribed, not re-verified. Those months were recorded from the published lists as they appeared. The Internet Archive holds no snapshot of the page between 17 April and 12 August 2026, so they cannot currently be re-checked line by line. Parts are corroborated elsewhere — May’s list naming YuSleep and Audifort, July’s naming Lymph Tonic and The Genius Switch as a bonus pick — and the six-month grid is presented as a record of rank, not of figures.
- Two rows are rank-only on purpose. The archive reports identical figures for Rocket Languages and Energy Revolution System in both March and April. Rather than publish numbers we cannot trust, those months carry rank alone.
- The category descriptions are ours. ClickBank files several of these simply as “Dietary Supplements”; the plainer description on the board is written by us, and each offer’s own page shows ClickBank’s label alongside it.
What is being added
The next data layer is ad longevity: how long affiliates have actually kept paying to run each offer, read from public ad libraries. Monthly network figures say what worked last month; how long an ad has stayed live is the closest public signal to whether it is still working this week. It is not on the chart yet, and it will be labelled clearly when it is.
Glossary
The words
on the chart
Eight terms cover everything Starter Affiliate publishes. If a term is not here, it is not on the chart.
- EPC Earnings per click
- What affiliates earned, on average, for each visitor they sent. The one to watch, because it already combines the other two — roughly payout × conversion.
- APV Average payout
- What you earn on a typical sale, upsells included. Supplements run $150–$230 because buyers take multi-bottle bundles. Digital products sit nearer $50–$75.
- CVR Conversion rate
- The share of clicks that buy. 0.89% means fewer than one buyer per hundred people you send. It decides how long you wait for a first sale.
- Gravity ClickBank’s momentum score
- How many different affiliates earned commission on an offer over a rolling twelve weeks, weighted to recent sales. ClickBank suggests 50–200. It lags, and very high gravity can simply mean crowded.
- New Movement tag
- The offer had not appeared on the monthly list before. No track record yet, either way.
- Re-entry Movement tag
- The offer was on an earlier list, fell off, and is back. Worth checking what changed in the gap.
- Bonus pick Movement tag
- ClickBank listed the offer outside the numbered ranking. It is shown as B on the chart and never given a rank it was not awarded.
- Months on chart Our own count
- How many of the last six monthly lists the offer appeared on. Three of six beats one of six, whatever this month’s EPC says.
Disclosure
Who pays
for this
Nobody pays to be on the chart, and Starter Affiliate earns nothing from the offers it lists. If either of those ever changes, it will say so on the chart itself.
Independence
- Starter Affiliate is independent and not affiliated with ClickBank or with any vendor whose offer appears on the chart. ClickBank is the trademark of its owner and is named here only to say where the published figures came from.
- No paid placements. An offer appears because the published numbers put it there. There is no way to buy a position, and there never will be.
- No commission is earned today. Starter Affiliate carries no affiliate links. If it ever does, every such link will be marked as an affiliate link at the point of the link, in the issue itself.
- Revenue comes from readers. The free weekly picks are free; Pro is a subscription. That is the whole model.
No income claims
Starter Affiliate publishes what past affiliates earned on average, as reported by the network. It does not promise, project or imply what you will earn. Most people who try affiliate marketing earn little or nothing, and figures on this chart are not a prediction of your results.
If you promote one of these offers
- Disclose in the post itself, before the link. A line in your bio or a separate disclaimer post does not count. Any payment or free product counts as a connection you have to declare — the FTC’s endorsement guides cover affiliate links explicitly.
- You own what you say. A vendor’s sales page can make its own claims. The moment you repeat a health claim in your own ad or video it is yours, and endorsers can be held liable for it.
- Most of this chart is health supplements. Health claims are also the fastest route to a restricted ad account. Talk about the problem and your own experience, not about what a pill cures.
- The penalties are real. Civil penalties for disclosure violations run to more than $50,000 per violation.
- Check the rules where you live. The FTC guides are United States law. The UK, EU and other markets have their own advertising codes, and they also apply to you.
Accuracy
Figures are transcribed from a third-party source and can contain errors at either end. Where a month’s numbers look unreliable, Starter Affiliate publishes rank only and says so on the method page. Nothing here is financial, legal or business advice.
