Best affiliate marketing programs - My list for 2023

Have you decided to jump headlong into this world and are you looking for the best affiliate programs out there?

Well, in this article I'm going to list only the best affiliate programs, the ones that will allow you to earn interesting amounts of money without too much effort, thus saving you a lot of time.

Let's get started!!!

An affiliate program is nothing more than a service offered by a portal or an eCommerce where you can sign up (almost always for free) and once accepted, start selling their products earning a commission on each sale.

1. Amazon

By far the most popular.

Signing up is easy and free, for sure the earning percentages are not very high, in fact, they reach a maximum of 10%, but selling products on this portal is extremely easy because Amazon is an authoritative brand that people trust.

This marketplace really sells everything, so it's great for any niche.

An unpleasant aspect of Amazon is the absence of cookie tracking, in fact, the user is forced to buy something (not necessarily the product promoted by you) within the active session, if he decides to conclude the purchase the next day by making a new login, the commission will not be credited.

To learn more about how Amazon affiliation works and what the earnings are, I recommend you read my dedicated article.

Recommended Promotion Type: Specialized Blogs, SEO, Video Reviews.

Earning Potential: Medium/Low

2. AliExpress

For those of you who don't know, AliExpress is a marketplace that is enjoying huge success due to its extremely competitive prices and variety of products.

Affiliating with this marketplace could turn out to be a bargain, both because of its rapidly growing notoriety and prices. Moreover, the rates are definitely higher than Amazon's.

Actually, the best method to sell products on this marketplace is definitely Dropshipping through the help of dedicated platforms like Shopify.

Fiverr is one of the biggest portals in the world where you can find freelancers for any kind of job. Guys, believe me when I tell you that there is really everything.

Initially, I was skeptical about this service, but since I tried it for the first time, it has become a reference point for hiring temporary collaborators for extra work at extremely competitive prices, especially for affiliate marketing in foreign markets with different languages.

Fiverr's affiliate program is nothing short of amazing and highly profitable.

There are different ways of earning money, the most common is definitely the CPA, where you just need the user to sign up and purchase any product. Here the commission's range from 15€ to 150€ per single lead.

The affiliate panel is one of the most complete and accurate I've ever seen, full of creativity, widgets, and much more. This will make it easier and more profitable.

Another thing that makes the Fiverr affiliate program extremely beneficial is its versatility, in fact, the niches are so numerous that you can promote this platform whatever your industry is.

4. Builderall

Builderall is a new and constantly evolving platform that provides all the tools every marketer needs to sell online.

Some examples are the creation of a Landing Page, Funnel, Email Marketing, Graphics, Facebook Bot, and much more...

The affiliate program provided by this platform is absolutely one of the most profitable.

In fact, it provides 100% commission on the first purchase + 30% at each renewal (so recurring commissions).

In addition, if the people who have purchased from you, have affiliates (Tier 2) you will earn an additional 30% of their earnings (each month).

The only limitation is that in order to have access to the affiliate program, you must have one of the plans made available.

5. Hosting Services

If you work on the web, promoting web hosting services could be interesting.

Almost all web hosting services offer an affiliate program, the percentages are usually around 40%, and others instead pay a fixed fee for each registration that usually starts from 40/50€ up.

Not bad I would say.

The best is surely SiteGround, Hostgator, and GoDaddy.

Suggested type of promotion: Specialized Blogs, SEO.

Earning potential: Medium 6. Envato Market

If you are a web designer, graphic designer, video maker, or marketer, you have surely heard of this portal.

Envato Market is the biggest and most famous marketplace for digital products such as website templates, videos, photos, plugins, and recently also video tutorials.

Joining this portal is extremely easy and fast. You will receive 30% off on every product sold.

NB. If a user is already an Envato customer, the commission will not be credited.

Needless to say, social networks are at their peak, we all use them, some just for work, and others just can't do without them. Well, you should know that there are platforms that offer services to promote social pages and profiles resulting in increased interactions such as followers, likes, views, etc... Believe it or not, it is one of the most profitable markets at the moment. One of the most serious and reliable platforms is the one provided by BCUBE Agency.

Info-Products The eLearning market is booming, and more and more people decide to train online through video courses or ebooks, so why not try to sell these kinds of products? One of the most famous portals in the world for sharing video courses is definitely Udemy, which relies on the Rakuten affiliate network. Other famous portals are definitely Skillshare, which offers 10 dollars for each subscriber, it would seem little but the subscription costs only 8 euros per month and gives access to all the videos, a real bargain, so it will not be too difficult to sell this service. Suggested type of promotion: Specialized Blogs, Email Marketing, Facebook groups. Earning potential: Medium 9. Digital Platforms If you operate in the field of SEO, Web Marketing, Finance, Trading, and so on, then you can affiliate with various specialized online platforms in each sector, such as: SemRush for SEO and eToro if you are in finance or trading. Basically, look for the reference tool in your field and see if it has an affiliate program. Usually affiliating with these platforms is very profitable because the commissions are recurring, or you will be paid every time the user renews the service. Suggested type of promotion: Specialized Blogs, Email Marketing, Facebook Groups, Video Tutorials Earning Potential: Medium/High 10. ClickBank ClickBank is still a valid Affiliate Network, registration is simple, offers products for any niche and the commissions are absolutely the highest, in fact, they arrive up to 75%. The only problem with this portal is that the products in Italian are few and disentangling between various products "spammy" is not always easy.

Travel Sites

If you operate in the travel/travel industry then you are in luck. In this sector, profitable affiliate programs are certainly not lacking. Among all the travel portals you can affiliate with, I definitely recommend Airbnb and Booking. The recommended type of promotion: Specialized Blogs, SEO, Instagram, Email Marketing, Facebook Groups, and Videos. Earning potential: Medium/High 12. CPA affiliations

If you're struggling to sell affiliate products, why not try earning money by simply getting people to sign up to another site or maybe invite them to download a free app? These kinds of affiliations are called CPAs, you will earn a commission every time the user performs a predetermined action. Commissions for this kind of program are generally very low, but it goes without saying that the conversion rate will be considerably higher since the user is often not obliged to buy the product. The leaders in this area are definitely MaxBounty and AffiliateAxe, they don't accept just anyone, which is another reason why they are extremely good. Suggested type of promotion: Specialized Blogs, Email Marketing, Facebook Ads Earning Potential: Medium/Low 13. Large Networks If your industry is more general or you simply can't find the right one for you among the programs seen so far, here is a list of all the largest affiliate networks on the market. These networks work with almost every company in existence and offer solutions of all kinds. Here are the best ones : - Rakuten - CJ Affiliate - Awin - TradeDoubler
