So Many Affiliate Programs! Which One Do I Choose?

AFFILIATE AVALANCHE

Ask questions first before you join an affiliate program. Do a little research about the choices of program that you intend to join into. Get some answers because they will be the deciding point of what you will be achieving later on.  When I decided to promote CPA campaigns, I asked around in Wicked Fire Forum what were the best affiliate networks available.  My mission was to find out who had the best payouts per campaign, and how long would an affiliate have to wait to get paid?  Needless to say I did my research.

Will it cost you anything to join? Most affiliate programs being offered today are absolutely free of charge. So why settle for those that charge you some dollars before joining.  I’ve been preaching this to the choir (or so it seems) for years.  When an affiliate program costs you money to join, you mighty want to rethink this investment.  Sure, there are some programs that will charge you a small fee for shipping and handling to receive the workbook or CD-Rom in the mail, but that is not the same as having to pay hundreds of dollars to sign up to a program that is supposed to help you earn money.  Let the buyer beware.

When do they issue the commission checks? Every program is different. Some issue their checks once a month, every quarter, etc. Select the one that is suited to your payment time choice. Many affiliate programs are setting a minimum earned commission amount that an affiliate must meet or exceed in order for their checks to be issued.  HydraNetwork pays every 30 days by direct deposit on the 15th of each month.  I absolutely love them!  As long as you meet the minimum of $100 earned, you will receive your commission check right on schedule.  Another CPA Network I’m working with, MonetizeIt, pays every 30 days also but they send out a paper check around the 10th of the month.  This is great because I usually receive my monetary rewards together at the same time.

What is the payout per campaign?  One campaign I’m running on some traffic exchanges that is doing relatively well this month is eBay Sellers Clubhouse Its available to residents of the United States only, but has a $33.25 per action payout.  Everyone who signs up for the free trial brings $33.25 to my pocket.  Shhhwweeet!  Its great to target a high earning campaign like this and get it to convert.  People on Traffic Exchanges and safelists are always looking for make money online opportunities, you just have to find a way to get your message to the right people at the right time.

These are just some of the questions that needed answering first before you enter into an affiliate program. You should be familiar with the many important aspects that your chosen program should have before incorporating them into your website. Try to ask your affiliate program choices these questions. These can help you select the right program for you site from among the many available.
