Affiliate programs are all over the place. It is important that you do the research, like reading this page, to find the ones that pay the most. This will save you tons of time and hardship from having to test out different affiliate programs month after month with little success.
Three things to remember when choosing an affiliate program.
1) Try and find the ones that are two-tiered. This means that people can sign up under you and you will make money off of everything they sell.
2) Try and choose affiliate programs that are tied in to your website or where you spend your time promoting. Use common sense, if you have a business website, then you should not be promoting online dating.
3) Stay away from new programs. Choose affiliate programs that have been around for at least 6 months. New affiliate programs have a way of burning out and changing the pay structure, and then you have to start your revenue strategy all over again.
Here are the top paying affiliate programs ranked by payout, multi-tier, and stability.
