How Do I Find Quality Affiliate Programs To Promote On My Website Or Blog?

What’s the best way to find quality products and services to resell as an affiliate on my blog or website?

That’s a great question, and one that EVERY new affiliate faces when they start their career in affiliate marketing. AsktheBlogger has been involved in the affiliate business since 2001, as an affiliate, a merchant and has worked on the agency side of the business. So I should know a little bit about this topic. :)

Where Do I Start?

The very first place to start finding programs is by joining the Affiliate Networks. Now, here’s where it gets scary for new people. There are tons of affiliate networks to choose from, and joining them all can take a lot of time.

Don’t get scared away, start with one of the best.

 

 

Join ShareaSale.com as an affiliate, it’s free.

Once you join ShareaSale, you simply need to search for programs that match your website or blog. For example.

If you have a blog about debt consolidation, you would find an advertiser inside ShareaSale that offers free debt consolidation help. All you do then is apply to join the program, get approved, then grab either banner or text links and put those ads on your blog.

AsktheBlogger suggests you look at the following affiliate network resource lists, written by long-time and respected affiliate guru Allan Gardyne. Associate Programs Affiliate Network List.

Ready for more? Here’s a comprehensive list of some of the affiliate networks out there today.

As always, you can simply Ask The Blogger for specific recommendations anytime!

    I would like to start off by saying, thank you for supplying me with the information I’ve been searching for. I’ve been searching the net for two hours looking for it and wish I would have found your site sooner. Not only did I find what I was looking for, but found answers to questions I never thought to ask myself. Thank you for such a wonderful web-site!

    Almost everyone that makesmoney on the internet (even the millionaires) do so through affiliate marketing. Being successful in affiliate marketing involves applying the formula that makes other affiliate marketers successful. For example, autoblogging. Autoblogging has been one of the least well-known forms of making money on the internet for quite some time… mainly because it’s quite difficult to make a good auto-blog. Yet, when done right, it can provide you with a perpetual passive income with the only real work required being the setting up process. Video Marketing, and several other marketing strategies are all designed to drive traffic to your site, can be incorporated gradually in order to raise the position your site appears in the search engine results page when someone searches for a term related to your site. And yet, even this can be totally automated.

    I like Shareasale, they have some really good affiliate programs. I also use other affiliate directories like Commission Junction and Linkshare but affiliate directories can be a little limiting for finding some of the smaller niche affiliate programs. For those I have to do my own research, but that’s not a problem as long as you do a little due diligence for finding good ones. Here are a few things I do:
