To monetize your website you are eager to join Affiliate Marketing Programs as soon as possible. But wait, hold your horses! It is very important that before you search for Affiliate Programs, that will include products you wish to promote, you have an established audience. Many sellers in an Affiliate Program will not approve your application until they verify that you have an audience for their product.
You should know that to make significant money typically your website should have at least 100 visitors daily.
Read my post ” Affiliate Marketing Secrets – ( Secret # 1 revealed ) ” here.
Before we discuss the larger Affiliate Marketing Programs, please note that you should also approach directly the manufacturer of a product you intend to promote in your website. Individual manufacturers or sellers will pay you higher affiliate commissions than the mammoth programs such as Amazon Associates.
Once you have selected a product to promote, it is recommended in your posts, and you have an audience, you are ready to go for the money! Go ahead, start by applying to the larger Affiliate Programs.
Where to Search
The Affiliate Program that would be best for you depends on your niche. If your niche is geared to promoting teaching “how to” courses, home business opportunities, make money at home programs, or sales training videos, these are all digital products. Digital products include e books, video training and other products that you deliver online as opposed to physical products. If this is the case, then clickbank.com is your best choice. Within clickbank you can choose to promote a wide selection of digital products or offer your own digital products.
If you are promoting physical products, you should check out the major Affiliate Sales Programs such as:
– Amazon Associates
– CJAffiliate
– Shareasale
– Awin
– Big Commerce
Within each of these programs you will find different products being offered, so you will need to search to see if the product you want to promote is included. The commissions that you can earn with these programs are relatively low ( usually 5 to 10%) so you will need many sales to make significant earnings. On the other hand, if you approach directly the manufacturer of the product you want to promote, if they have an affiliate program, commission will be higher.
Doing the above research will take time. Now there is a faster way to select an Affiliate Program. This new method is offered by Wealthy Affiliate.

Hi Carlos, thank you for actually directing me to where I can find affiliate marketing sites. I recently started my online career and this whole field of affiliate marketing is completely new to me. I have seen it mentioned a number of times but could not work out where to check and needed ideas as the what products to offer. If I were to sign up with Amazon,say, would the arrangement apply to only one particular site or could it be used for more than one?
Hello JJ,
You are at the right place to get the training you need to be successful in Affiliate Sales. When you are approved by Amazon Associates you can add other webites,just need to list them in your account. Please remember that you must obtain a couple of sales from the Amazon Associates products within six months or your affiliate status will be cancelled. I suggest you only sign up with Amazon Associates after you have a good audience for your websites.Good Luck!
