    Does anyone have an example of a food product being sold online like a specialty mayonnaise through a affiliate program?

    And do you think it would be affect or to many risks?

    I've seen a couple of programs that You can join and then sell food products. Usually it's something to drink, like sports drinks or special kinds of juice (Mangosteen per example) but I've seen also people selling chocolate or wine or protein bars. The problem seems to be that usualy You have to store at Your place (house or garage or whatever) a certain amount of products and I guess You have to send the products Yourself to the customers. So a lot of hassle...

    Thanks for your response. So it is possible to market a food product on something like CJ ?

    I mean I see a ton of Recipe websites and books for example.. would having a real product to sell be something that is viewed as good or bad to a affiliate marketer?

    Usually those products fall on the health affiliate sites.

    I think that most of these products has their own affiliate program, most aren't connected to affiliate sites.

    I don't want to recommend because my mother has already used one of those health food but it doesn't deliver what it is saying that it would do.

    If you have your own product then I would say CJ would be the way to go. CJ offers a lot of physical products from major retail stores. CB is more of an ebook affiliate system.
