I have a new affiliate program based on a rather niche area: service manual downloads for copiers, printers, AC units and mobile devices. You'd want to be already active in those areas I would expect or it would be rather boring but it pays 40% commission with a 30 day cookie. You can read more about this affiliate program here
Right new the high trending programs center around loans. If you have a product that allows people to get a loan; you are going to ride high. Frankly, if you can promote in a different language other than English, you are also like to do great!
Hey. I would like to recommend the Profitner.com financial affiliate program. The company is focused on effective marketing for insurance, personal, credit, retail and business loans, attracting deposits. Profitner helped me monetize traffic on my financial website.
Peerfly bites the dust! It's over. Peerfly shuts down. Believe it or not, it is happening. I'll be losing tons of money!
Actually amazon is bad for beginners. "Continued motivation requires an occasional reward." This would be extremely difficult to get with Amazon. What you need is a platform that pays high commissions.
True, Amazon is really bad for beginners. The conversion is very less. The cookies used is just for 24 hours. Sign at affiliates with at least 30 days cookies policy.
Actually, you can get your Amazon cookie to last upto 90days. Even that is too low. Markethealth.com for example, will keep your cookies alive for 5years. In my opinion, the detrimental drawbacks of Amazon is the really low commission rate. Internet marketers have to invest a lot of time and energy to generate traffic. The ROI is just not worth the costs. If you already have a large following; then, Amazon maybe worth it; but certainly not for beginners.
Peerfly has shut down. Publishing sites like Pepperjam are having a hard time. I don't know anything specific about pepperjam; but these advertisement platforms are in for tumultuous times. Which ones will succeed and which will fail, remains to be determined.
Clickbank.com is great. They have high commissions. As an affiliate, you do not have to worry about VAT or any other taxes. Clickbank takes care of all that for you. As a vendor, the entry barrier is only $50. Of course, the downside of clickbank is high refund rates. The obvious solution for vendors is to offer hybrid products i.e. a combination of digital and physical products. Physical products will greatly reduce your refund rates. Vendors with money can really make it big on clickbank because they have been around for a while and have a large number of affiliates.
Russian analogue click-bank (E-pay(.)group). Accept traffic for RU sites: Russia, Ukraine Accept traffic for English sites: India, Philippines Any source of traffic online payouts
Shareasale and Maxbounty are great for beginners. I personally like Cj. Too bad peerfly has been closed down. If you like to build your brand authority overtime, I suggest looking into Wealthy Affiliates.
I tried wealthy affiliates a time back. It was a total disaster. They have a large supply of useless material. I recommend avoiding those guys; unless, of course, you like spinning on a hamster wheel.
