I personally receive over a dozen checks and commission payments
every month from various affiliate programs that I promote.
Last month, those checks totaled more than $10,000 and some
months they have been as high as $25,000.
Given my success as an affiliate marketer, I'm often asked what
affiliate programs I personally recommend.
The answer is easy because it's actually a pretty short list.
First, let me explain what an affiliate program is.
Affiliate programs are used by monster companies like Amazon, eBay, and
many others to recruit resellers
(affiliates) to help bring customers to their websites.

But the affiliate programs I prefer are those offered by smaller
companies that sell digital products online. Those are the
programs that pay up to 75% commission, while most larger
companies may pay just a few percent.
You can join an affiliate program usually by applying online at
the company's website. Being accepted into the program gives you
the right to market the company's products as an independent
reseller and receive commissions when you make a sale.
I've looked at hundreds of affiliate programs over the years and
have come up with my own personal Top 10 Affiliate Programs that I actively participate in
and heartily recommend.
Some of these programs require that you pay a membership fee and
some do not. The reason some programs charge a fee (including my
own affiliate programs) is because you get more value as an
affiliate.
In most cases you get a full-blown website from which to sell the
products and copies of most - if not all - of the products you'll
be selling. For example, I charge $249 to join my affiliate licensee program, but
you get access to over $500 in products.
To make my list of the Top Affiliate Programs is not an easy
task.
First of all, I have to personally be an affiliate of the program
and must have earned considerable sums to prove its validity.
To make my list the program must also:
- Offer quality products that offer real value, no fluff
- Offer high commissions (30% minimum, 50% preferred)
- Offer 2 tier commissions (if the 1st tier payout is
substantial, I can live with a single tier)
- Have a proven track record of success
- Have a spotless reputation
- Pay commissions on time, every time
- Have well-known affiliates who will vouch for the program
- Be more than 6 months old
- Have a low rate of returns
- Be referred to me by someone I trust.
That last one's a biggie for me. If one of my peers recommends a
program, I know it's going to be good.
So, here is my personal Top Affiliate Programs that make me
thousands of dollars every month and with a little time
and effort, there is no reason they can't do the same for you.
These are the programs that I personally participate
in and recommend. If you're serious about starting your
own affiliate marketing empire, take a close look at these.
Dave's Cool Little Website
Naturally Dave's Cool Little Website tops my list of the Internet's Best Affiliate Programs. This program generated over $100,000 for affiliates in the first 6 weeks alone and it continues to crank out thousands of dollars every week. Dave's Cool Little Website is now the Number 1 eBay and Adsense affiliate program on Clickbank and Dave just keeps making it better. If you are not an affiliate of Dave's you are missing the boat.
DropshipWholesale.net Amazing Little Website
Naturally I have to recommend my own affiliate program. Yes, I
charge for the affiliate license, but I also give affiliates a
full blown website and copies of all my products and my track
record is 2nd to none. I signed checks last year that paid out
over several hundred thousand dollars to affiliates, so I
know it works.
Prosperity & Profits
My P&P affiliate program is one of the top programs on the web
for serious internet marketers. As a P&P member and affiliate you
get access to every section of the P&P website, including the
wholesale database, the business opportunity and franchise
database, the extensive ebook library, and more. Commissions are
50% of sales and paid monthly by check.
Internet Marketing Center
IMC was founded by the late Corey Rudl and is now headed up by
Derek
Gehl, Corey's right hand man. IMC racked up $40 million in sales
and
pays out hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to their
affiliates.
Their products are top notch, as is the support and the
commissions. I
regularly get checks from IMC that range from $3,000 to $7,000 a
month.
This program is free to join.
WorldWide Brands
WorldWide Brands is the only wholesale/dropship product sourcing company certified by eBay. This is a great place to find products to sell and make money as an affiliate.
MyClickPages.com
MyClickPages.com is the program I created specifically for
Clickbank
affiliates. MyClickPages.com gives you a complete,
professionally
designed website from which you can sell my Clickbank registered
products. I pay 50% commission on all sales. It's free to join,
but
please only do so if you are serious about affiliate marketing.
Hot Item Finder
Dave Guindon is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet online.
He's also one of the most talented programmers and product
creators. His flagship product, Hot Item Finder, helps users
identify what's
hot and what's not on eBay. It's one of the best eBay related
products I've ever seen. Dave's affiliate program is also tops in
my book. His product converts like crazy and his support is
second to none
1stPromotion.com
No one knows affiliate marketing better than Rick Davies and his
brother
Ron. They are considered "The Masters" at making a
six-figure affiliate income from home with affiliate marketing.
Using
that expertise, the brothers Davies have created
1stPromotion.com, which
is quickly becoming the top Clickbank affiliate site on the
planet.
Their turnkey system is great for beginners at an extremely low
cost.
CBMall (Clickbank Mall)
I personally earn several thousand dollars in passive income
every month with this system and there's no reason you can't do
the same... and the great thing is, you don't even need a website
to get started! No monthly charges. Great for beginners.
Emergency Cash Generators
James Jones always delivers by providing his affiliates with
excellent
products that sell like mad. I have done so well promoting James'
new
book, Emergency Cash Generators, 101
Profit Generating Techniques, that it jumped into my Top 10 after
just
one month. You can't miss affiliating with James.
There you go, my personal Top Affiliate Programs that make me money every month, but don't think that is the definitive list. There are tens of thousands of products and companies that you can sign on with as an affiliate and earn commissions.
You can find most of them listed at Clickbank or Commission Junction.
