Clickbank – The most popular leading affiliate network, Clickbank offers internet marketers hundreds of thousands of product selections to market as an affiliate. All of its products are digital information products, such as e-books, special reports and “how-to” info.
You can find niches on almost every product in its Marketplace, arranged by category. So, no matter what your niche is, chances are you will find an affiliate product on Clickbank to promote. Affiliate commission range from 25% per sale to 75% per sale or more.
The sign up for ClickBank is free and only takes a few minutes. You can promote as many ClickBank products as you want, with no limitations and you can promote any of them immediately, without any contracts or waiting.
Commission Junction – The largest affiliate network in North America, Commission Junction (CJ) operates in much the same way as Clickbank. Advertisers (the merchants) add their products to the Commission Junction marketplace and publishers (the affiliates) add links to these products in their websites.
Commission Junction offers a wider variety of products which include services, physical products, and digital information products as well. However, some Advertises require visitors to buy a product/complete a sale and others require visitors to sign up for newsletters or fill out a form in order for you to get paid.
For newbies, the one of the best parts for joining CJ is it offers comprehensive online resource through CJ University, where strategic advice and featured weekly advertiser offers are available to CJ publishers.
LinkShare – An affiliate network that offers some of the most prestigious and well-known brands in the world, LinkShare connects affiliates with products to the international market. You can choose from a wide variety of products to promote on your website.
Just like Commission Junction, you do not always have to sell something in order to get paid. Depending on the merchant’s requirement, sometimes the required action is to get visitors to sign up for a newsletter or fill out a form in order to get paid.
Amazon – One of the largest trusted brands and most well known book and shopping sites in the world, Amazon provides website owners with numerous solutions for making money online. Website owners can have ads that are personalized for their visitors, display product reviews, or have their own online stores.
