Wait, a review of Spark by ClickBank… from ClickBank?!

Yep, that’s right! In this Spark by ClickBank review, I want to provide context about where the Spark affiliate education platform came from, what it’s all about, and who it’s meant to teach.

But in the spirit of full disclosure, you should know that ClickBank owns and manages the Spark education platform – and I personally work with the team behind Spark, including the face of the product, Ben Harris.

So, while I’ll do my best to offer an unbiased look at the program, my proximity to Spark is something to keep in mind. Now, let’s dive into the review!

What is ClickBank?

In case you’re unfamiliar with ClickBank, we’re an affiliate marketplace and e-commerce platform that helps connect sellers (i.e. people with products to sell) and affiliates (i.e. marketers looking to promote products).

There’s a thriving world of online business that you can be a part of on ClickBank – either by selling your own product or by getting a commission when you sell other people’s products. A lot of everyday people don’t even know about the incredible opportunities online – or if they do, they’re not sure how to make affiliate marketing work for them!

So, if you’re new to this “affiliate marketing” thing and want to learn how it’s done? That’s where Spark comes in!

What is Spark by ClickBank?

Spark By ClickBank vs ClickBank University: A Quick History

For a full understanding of Spark By ClickBank, we should take a quick look back at ClickBank’s previous education product, ClickBank University (CBU).

The reality is, CBU had a mixed reception, and everyone – including ClickBank – knows it. CBU was a product where we partnered with an outside team, and while it certainly offered value, it felt like too much of a high-pressure sales pitch. We wanted our own education platform to be more informative and useful than CBU.

So, we decided to bring our training program in-house, and launched the new Spark By ClickBank brand.

Meet the Spark Team

The Spark team has three full-time members currently, as well as several subject matter expert partners from all over the world.

Ben Harris is the face of Spark, Holly Miran manages the Spark community, and Monica Snashall works behind-the-scenes.

We wanted you to get to know who you’ll be learning from inside of Spark!

Ben Harris

Ben Harris brings over 10 years of online marketing experience to the Spark team. Ben began his career as an entrepreneur, co-founding MB Nutrition, which went on to have the highest rated pre-workout powder in the United States on Amazon.com in 2016 – before being acquired 18 months later.

Shortly after, he joined ClickFunnels, one of the fastest-growing software companies in the world, to assist driving their company revenue and affiliate program. In his time at ClickFunnels, Ben grew affiliate revenue by leveraging partnerships and recruiting high volume clients. In Spark’s first full year (2021), the team led thousands to their first ClickBank sale, and went on to generate millions on the ClickBank platform.

A graduate of Coastal Carolina University, Ben has a deep passion for selling products and services online, and is an avid affiliate marketer. While not on his computer, you’ll find Ben spending time with his fiancé, or on the golf course.

Holly Miran

Holly Miran is a master networker and highly present in our Facebook community. She provides a ton of value and ensures our Spark students have an educational and supportive place to meet and network with their peers.

Holly is like a Swiss army knife when it comes to marketing, so her wealth of knowledge is a huge asset to Spark. When not in the community, you’ll also find Holly writing copy, creating TikTok videos, strategizing ways to improve the program, and helping out anywhere else she’s needed. If you have any questions about the Spark program, Holly is your go-to gal!

Perry Belcher

While Perry isn’t technically a ClickBank employee, he is our partner for Spark Campfire, which is a valuable part of your Spark membership. Inside of Campfire, Perry provides lectures and Q&As for a community of thousands of Spark students.

Perry Belcher is a co-founder of Digital Marketer, a mega-successful online brand for digital marketing professionals – and he’s also a marketing legend with decades of experience in offer creation, marketing strategy, and copywriting.

Spark By ClickBank FAQs

Who is Spark By ClickBank For?

The Spark team eventually wants the product to feature content for everyone interested in making money online – with total beginner tutorials all the way up to super advanced tactics – but for now, the focus is primarily on beginners interested in affiliate marketing.

Is Spark By ClickBank a scam?

Not at all! We have a team of dedicated people working hard on the content, the community, and the subject matter experts featured inside of Spark. Plus, we’re constantly learning what our students need to be more successful and adding new training every month to make Spark even better.

Is Spark By ClickBank Worth It?

The short answer is yes. The longer answer is, it depends on where you’re at in your affiliate marketing journey.

I’ve been in the affiliate marketing world for nearly five years, and throughout my journey, I’ve read and listened to and watched a LOT of educational marketing content. I’ve also put many of these lessons into practice in my own business.

The highest compliment I can pay to Spark is the fact that, as Content Manager at ClickBank and a business owner with my own affiliate website, I still find myself going through Spark materials and taking lots of notes.

So, if I’m learning valuable things from Spark after several years in this industry, then I believe most people will find plenty of value in the program.

What Spark Students Are Saying

We’ve had hundreds of Spark students make money on the ClickBank platform after going through our materials.

Below is a small sampling of the positive feedback we’ve seen from real Spark students in Spark Certification and in Campfire!

Spark Pros and Cons

Now, the million-dollar question: should you become a Spark student?

Here are the biggest pros and cons I could think of about Spark, coming from someone who’s actually gone through most of the course materials to date.

There are probably more pros and cons than just these, but that should give you a sense of whether Spark is a fit for you right now!

Spark By ClickBank Review Wrap-up

Well, that’s all I have for you about Spark right now. I hope this quick Spark by ClickBank review gave you a better understanding of what Spark is all about.

So, what’s the verdict? Should you sign up for Spark?

In my opinion, it is worth a test drive, especially for half off the first month. But even if you aren’t ready to sign up right now, it’s something to think about for the future.

That’s because Spark by ClickBank is still a work in progress… And it always will be!

If you read other prominent reviews of Spark by ClickBank, many of them complain about Spark not having enough content or being too basic.

And honestly, they were probably right – based on the version they reviewed in late 2020 or early 2021. But today, we’re a far cry from the very first version of Spark, when there wasn’t a lot of content and before our team learned what students were most interested in.

Since then, the product has continued to evolve and improve and deliver incredible value for thousands of students. When Spark started, I think a 2/5 rating would have been fair – today, I would easily give it a 4/5.

Inside of Spark, you can learn everything you need to start making money online. With a growing selection of in-depth marketing courses, access to industry legends like Perry Belcher, and a supportive community of fellow students, there’s a LOT to love about Spark by ClickBank right now – and it’s only getting better!
