Hmmm.... Which affiliate program would I choose if I was on a limited budget and wanted to eat regularly. One from a major company like CJ or one from an ebook/course publisher. I'd choose the ebook/course publisher if I had limited funds. For beginners, to drive enough traffic to be successful with a manstream company from CJ, you'll either have to have a high volume site or big PPC budget. With the ebook/course program, I can buy some low PPC keywords and start making money before you can start a site and generate enough traffic to make a CJ aff pay. (this is assuming that you're starting from zilch with limited funds) The trick is to find a product that everyone else isn't hawking then research the cost per click of the keywords. If you have a $$$ to play with, then CJ may be your thing (although there are many better Aff companies out there IMHO) Good Luck and keep us updated! TxDon
Thanks for your informative post. Yes, I'm on a limited budget ($5 a day on keywords) so far I'm mostly trying herbal male enhancement pills, somebody else that does the same thing and understands more than I do, is helping me with advise. Hopefully it'll work out. The e-books that you're referring to, are they targeted to anybody specific such as, afilliates? Or just any e-book in general on any topic? Do they have affiliate programs for e-books? If so, do you have links to a publisher? Or are all e-books sold individually? Sorry, I'm completely new to e-books and never understood why anybody would purchase them, there's so much information online and so many people giving that information out for free such as websites like this. With an e-book, do you have to have your own site or landing page? I prefer to direct traffic directly to the offer or a feeder site, since I'm new and not sure what will work or not, don't want to spend extra money on websites, landing pages, etc.. Thanks again, I'm going to see what kind of information I can find on this subject.
I'm not sure if you will believe my story TxDon. When I started my Affiliate Site and have become an affiliates to some shoes merchant, I didn't have any money! My boss, our present Affiliate Manager, can attest to that because he even paid for my affiliate site and had it registered at GoDaddy. Then, I was on my own because he had to leave. I really didn't know what to do. Plus e-business is not so much popular here in our place; thus I have no credit cards, no everything. What I did to survive since I can't pay for the continuous registration of my affiliate site, I sticked to blogging. Did free SEO strategies like directory submission. I'm a chemist and knew nothing about programming and other techie things. I don't even know what's a keyword. So I had to learn it on my own. Thanks to my friends who helped me sort things out. Until now, my blog/affiliate site is still there. My aim is to earn from all of my FREE strategies so I can invest on PAID strategies.
I have a few programs that I have found that are pretty brand new & doing really well in it's infancy. email me if anyone is interested Good Luck, Alison
You cannot post direct links with your affiliate id in them Skytrader, I recommend you remove them before a mod catches it...
Judd is right! This is a nice and very considerate forum. Let's not abuse it. After all we can send a certain user a PM in case we want to offer him/her something.

There are some good programs on this thread. If you want a constant flow of $7 per sale try the one in my signature. It's not a barnbuster, but it can be steady income. Everything worthwhile takes time; the challenge is finding time and using it efficiently.
I think most of the programs in this thread are out of my budget or knowldedge at this time. I've setup a couple male enhancement sites, dating sites, and adult sites. I didn't create a website, I'm sending traffic directly to the offer or feeder site. I've got about 200-300 keywords in each campaign, and my budget is at .20 There is so much competition people are paying really high amounts. I get about 10 clicks total a day from all those sites. My budget is $150 a month. Somebody suggested that I could go with 5 phrase long keywords in this market so I'll try that. Anybody have suggestions for low competition niches? Thanks
You know why you're seeing lots of Programs which are beyond your budget? That's because you've decided to join a VERY ACTIVE sector of Affiliate Marketing. Supply and demand theory will tell you that since the demand of those for adults stuff is really high then it suffice that keyword competition and pay will really be great. But don't despair, I guess investing in those will soon make a great return.
Yeah, but the problem is that I really don't have anything to invest. I'm not giving up, but my budget is at $5.00 a day and .20 max bid. So advise or referrals to any other low competition niches would be greatly appreciated, although I don't see why anybody would do that since they don't want their market to get saturated. Thanks
Damn, I'm trying to find some low niche markets, and happened to search "Lasik" (as in lasik eye vision correction). Keywords are from $12-$15 (according to keyword elite)
Maybe you should avoid bidding on expensive stuff for now. Don't you have any alternative to that? Have you already saturated all free things? If not please test the waters through those things before spending too much.
I came across with some affiliate programs before that offer free access to affiliate things through their affiliate account. Examples are dynamic links and access to set of keywords where you can bid on that ensures great returns. And those are offered for FREE.

Interesting posts. The PPC game is all about finding that sweet spot of converting traffic. With Pingo phone cards, i try to provide a private list to our PPC affiliates for keywords that we know convert & that you can afford to bid on with our upfront high commission payout. Drop me a PM if anyone is interested. good luck!
