I need to start affiliate marketing right now, to promote other products and get commision. I don't know what's the best affiliate network or site I should sing up. Products don't matter , just needs to have decent choice. Can you tell me what's the best affiliate program I can sign up that uses paypal as payment method? (except ebay, they are too complicated)
What is your product niche? It will be better if know your niche by the way, if you are new, you can first try out cj.com, it is easy to get approved and there are suitable for general niche
Everyone always points to Clickbank, but I think they are getting outdated and lacking function and features that their fresh competition has brought to the table. My suggestion is to check out Digiresults and JVZoo.
You should define your niche anyway and just after that you can choose necessary affiliate network. I'd recommend clickbank or amazon, depends on what you like more. You also can make money not only with product promotion, but with file-sharing. there are nice file-sharing services which allow to earn high payoffs as FileTram, for example.
Depends on your niche, but ClickBank or Amazon are pretty good for getting started. You could also look into CPA marketing if you don't want to promote a product.
Like everyone has said there are quite a few different places. Ditial items - clickbank, paydotcom, rapbank, digi.. If you want to do CPA type offers then cj, maxbounty, getads, are all good choices.
One way of choosing an affiliate network or product that works for you, is browsing through their available products and services and seeing which one you agree with, then you can sign up and start promoting them
The easiest way to do affiliate sales is to insert yourself into the equation. Currently... 'Buyer - Goes To - Store - Buys' New way... 'Buyer - Visits Your Website - Reads Review - Goes to Store - Buys' This is a natural progression, since most people want reviews to *justify* their buying decision. Now, such a tactic is virtually impossible with Clickbank, JVZoo, Paydotcom, etc... since most people aren't *looking* for those items... they are *looking* for a new camera, a new radio, more perfume, a new tool, etc. This is one reason why it's so much easier to sell physical products than it is to sell ebooks. For those who are advanced, selling clickbank products can be very lucrative - but it's far more involved than simply putting up a website. With physical products, putting up a website and SEO'ing it is the end of the line ... then you start getting commissions. With virtual products, you have to do the above, *PLUS* create a list, and create the autoresponder series, etc... it's lucrative, but far more involved. My recommendation for beginners - start with Amazon... then branch out to CJ... and only then, move into listbuilding for virtual products. Just my opinion...
yea but I just wanned to check what programs accept paypal, niche is would probably be about IT stuff , tutorials, programming, etc. So clickbank pays out with paypal?
I've never had any bad experiences with CJ, although a friend of mine was once paid late, but this was down to an issue with the merchant/vendor not paying CJ to be able to pay him. Their certainly not dodgy, by any means.
Oh, great - that sounds good! Do you have anybody who had experience from the merchant side by any chance ?
Afraid not. But I can only imagine that they are as good with their merchants as they are with their affiliates (hence they are so huge). Hopefully someone one the forum may either have or know someone with some merchant experience of CJ.
As others have mentioned... it really depends on your niche. There's great affiliate programs for every product / service! Some of the one's mentioned above are the largest affiliate networks, but the biggest aren't always the best. I've found that you can make a lot more $$$ if you choose a smaller program targeted torwards your particular niche. So it's important to pick a subject and search out the best program(s) in that area...
