How to find the best affiliate programs

Joining affiliate programs is cost-free, and you can use our site to find the programs that are best for your business. We provide you with updated lists of the top affiliate programs in each niche, with their respective advantages.

Categories of affiliate programs are listed in the column to the right. Read our reviews and join the programs that you like. If you already have a site, make sure you choose a niche that fits your site.
The most profitable affiliate markets

According to our experience, the biggest paychecks are delivered to affiliates in the following affiliate markets:

* Poker
* Mortgage
* Education

In the poker niche, some poker sites pay you $300 CPA for each player you recruit. Mortgage institutions may pay $75 for every lead, that is, your visitor doesn't even have to take a loan for you to get paid.

Merchants in these areas early realized the gain in paying others to do their marketing. Very high commissions have attracted lots of affiliates, and they have been very successful.

Sounds tempting? Check out our toplists and reviews in the poker, mortgage and education segments!
Tough competition in lucrative niches

If you don't have a site, you need to decide which niche to work in. Choosing a niche involves several questions, such as which niche offers the biggest potential profits and which area you're genuinely interested in.

Some affiliate markets turn over really big money, while others are much smaller. Making big money in a small niche isn't a given, of course. On the other hand, very lucrative niches come with very hard competition.

Finding the most profitable niche might require pretty deep considerations. Some successful affiliates did put huge efforts into this analysis before even starting up (or buying) their site.

Again, if you plan to start up small or if you already have a site, finding good affiliate programs is easy using our toplists and reviews.
What makes you tick?

Don't close your eyes to the importance of personal motivation. When the workload is huge and success comes in very small chunks, working in an area that you care for makes a difference. For most of us, love of money isn't the prime mover.

It's easier to promote things that you like.
