Default To trust or not

I bought an ebook a while ago, i haven't done or not even start anything on my website. This ebook offered a free setup n website for their members who bought their ebook, which they require the members to send them the clickbank ID, domain name n password.
Is anyone know that is it safe to do that, n why they r so generous n kind to do all these things for us?

Maybe I'm not understanding you correctly, but it sounds to me like they'll set you up a site in which to promote their product or ebook, in which you would get a commission from each sale. Is this not the case?

Why would any legitimate program ask you for your username and password? That would make me suspicious. Even if they use Clickbank so you can promote their book as an affiliate you shouldn't have to give them your info, you would just login with your info and not have to give it to anyone.

Thanks Lisa, nice to hear from u. I wish i don't make a miss interpretation on that ebook as English is not my first language or mother tongue.
From what they mentioned in the ebook, they can help us to setup a free website with free domain provided we follow the link to the specific hosting company(which i try not to name it here) n after doing all that we need to email them all the details like the click bank ID, the domain name that we have created n the password. The reason behind that is for them to setup a website and do all the technical stuff on our website.(what kind of techical stuff? they dont mention in the ebook). They also highlighted that, we can change our password after they have done the setup for us.

Certainly don't do it my friend. I have heard of other people doing this. They ask you to click the link because it's an affiliate link (so they earn a commission on that).

I think it's too risky to give that information. It's much better to pay for hosting and a domain name yourself and know it's in safe hands.

easynari, I sell the same type of thing: an ebook and prebuilt website. The prebuilt website has places for adsense and affiliate links. But I leave it up to the user to get adsense and affiliate accounts and place the code into the website because, I assumed that nobody would want to give me their account numbers and password to place into the website for them.

They might like me but there is no reason to trust me with their passwords. I like google but would not give them my passwords, and google would never ask.

The internet is the wild west, and when a stranger walks into town with his rickety
wagon full of medicines and potions asking for your user name and password you should simply ignore him and hope he leaves town.
