Affiliate Programs

I get asked frequently for my recommendations for the best affiliate programs. Each affiliate network below acts as a third party between affiliate merchants and affiliate marketers.

Many Affiliate Merchants go through an online affiliate network because they offer a merchant services such as sales data and statistical tracking as well as issuing commission checks to affiliates selling their products. They also offer you, the affiliate several marketing tools as well, things like additional banners, links and reporting. It can also give you peace of mind that the affiliate programs you find there will pay their affiliates, that's because an affiliate network won't tolerate affiliate merchants that don't pay their affiliates ...they'll drop them like a hot potato!

Listed below are the online affiliate networks that are free to join and offer lots of paying affiliate programs you can sign up for. It beats surfing the net for affiliate programs that you may not REALLY be too sure about.
