The Top and Best Affiliate Programs  

   Best Affiliate Programs

 
Affiliates and newbie’s to affiliate marketing are using the term best affiliate programs, in the search engines frequently and this term was very interesting to us. We wanted to know what they are looking for when they search for “best affiliate programs”.

With a research that includes a survey we found that almost 60% of them are looking for affiliate program that could be the best to promote. The others were looking for information how to identify a best affiliate programs.

So here is how to determine your best affiliate programs, and some examples of the best affiliate programs.
 
1. The commission paid per sell or per lead. The higher the better, when you are looking for the best affiliate programs you are looking for the best Return On Investment, when you invest in promoting your own website and you expect to make a few sales of affiliate products from your website you want to get paid the highest commission possible. If the affiliate product you are promoting is a onetime payment you need to get a minimum of 25% of the product value as a commission, otherwise you are not getting paid fairly. But if your affiliate product is a recurring payment a 10% of the value will be a good commission.

The best example of high paying affiliate program is Forex Affiliate program.

Up to 50% of the value is a fair commission, and if the affiliate program is offering higher than 50% the chances are that the product is worthless. Some affiliate products on Click bank for instance are offering up to 70% commission and we know that 90% of click bank products are worthless. That leads us to the next module of best affiliate programs.

2.       The product and/or service. Promoting affiliate products does not mean you are not responsible of the value of that product; you are more responsible than the owner and the company itself; because you are promoting this product and you are the one who make the sales. Be 1000% sure that you are offering one of the best if not the best product in your niche area. Don’t be tempted with the high commission; you need to build an honest expert reputation otherwise you will be vanished very fast. In the online business arena reputation is success, customers will remember you and your website when they purchase the product you are promoting, and they will not care about the company’s website and the company’s name.

It will be a great idea (although we know that most affiliate do not do that) to purchase the affiliate product yourself and try it before promoting it; this way you can have better idea of the company, customer support, delivery and the value and effectiveness of the products. Companies that are sure and confident of their products offer a free trail to give their customers a firsthand experience on the efficiency of the products before they purchase and start using, those companies are that confident so they are also offering their affiliates a commission on the free trail offer; which mean that even the customer you brought to the company have not paid yet you still get your commission from his free trail order.

The best example of such affiliate program is Market Health, which considered as an affiliate network of health and beauty related products, it offer its affiliate up to 50% commission on every sale they generate and a good commission up to $40 on free trail order. Market Health affiliate program is promoted by the top health related forums on the net, and some of the best affiliate marketers online, which leads us to the next module of the best affiliate programs

3. Who promote these affiliate programs? Don’t invent the wheel just use it. Who promote the affiliate program can give you a great idea of the affiliate program itself. No one of the supper affiliates and affiliate gurus will waste time promoting weak affiliate products. They are experts in affiliate marketing and internet marketing; they know what to sell and how to sell, by watching them you can learn a lot.

Some newbie’s think that if a supper affiliates are promoting an affiliate products there will be no place for them to make any success with this affiliate product; and that’s a huge mistake, it depend on how much effort you are willing to put to your affiliate business, and you will eventually get your own audience exactly like them so by offering high quality products you are establishing some kind of trust between you and your audience and it’s the first step to be a supper affiliate yourself.

So duplicate what successful affiliates do and you can end up like them. The best example here is the SiteSell affiliate program. This program can be considered as one of the best affiliate programs because it has all the modules of best affiliate programs (commission, product, support) and the best supper affiliates are promoting this program and its product, like Allan Gardyne from associated programs, and most of the successful work at home business websites, along with the major affiliate programs directories. And when you see affiliate directories present the  as their choice of the best affiliate programs you can be sure that they are getting paid well as a 2 tier affiliate program promoters, which lead us to the next module of the best affiliate programs.

4.       2 tier affiliate programs. Most if not all best affiliate programs are offering a 2 tier affiliates sign up, that mean you can promote the affiliate product to get commission per each sale you generate and at the same time you can promote the affiliate program itself to generate sup affiliates and earn commission per their sales. Generally the 2 tier affiliate commission goes from 5% to 10% commission per sale. And that will increase your commission.

Here you need to be careful, some affiliates are promoting only the affiliate program to generate 2 tier affiliates without promoting the affiliate products and trying to sell the affiliate products directly; in this case you can end up generating hundreds of sup-affiliates without even generating one dollar in commission. You need to do the sales yourself and teach your sup-affiliate how to do it, there is no good to get hundreds of sleeping 2 tier affiliates in your team, and if you yourself have no idea of how to sell the affiliate products, you can be sure your 2 tier affiliates also will not sell the products.

2 tier affiliate program are deferent, you can find affiliate programs that can easily generate for you sup-affiliates and grow your affiliate team, and they have attractive sign-up pages and good promotion service for 2 tier affiliate program. The best example will be SFI Marketing, SFI also considered as an affiliate network with deferent kind of affiliate products and services, and you can easily generate 2 tier affiliates not also but you will have all the information about your sup-affiliates and you can even contact them directly with a contact manager provided with SFI back office.

SFI have some of the best affiliate products you can sell like International Association of Home-Business Entrepreneurs (IAHBE) and IAB Health benefit plan. Also SFI considered as the best affiliate program on the 2 tier affiliate promotion.

5.       In demand products. You cannot earn money with affiliate marketing if you cannot sell the products. So best affiliate programs offer the best in demand and easy to sell products.  The highest in demand products niche is general Health, followed by beauty and sexual health products.

You need first of all to promote affiliate products related to your website theme (your niche), so when choosing the niche that you are building your website on, you must had researched that niche and determined if it’s in demand niche, and so your related affiliate products need to be in demand.  In this case our best affiliate program is MoreNiche, which offer highly in demand affiliate products.

Sometimes you cannot find good affiliate program that promote a good reliable products in your niche area, in this case you should look for affiliate network such as LinkShare Affiliate Network that has the products you are looking for.

6.       Affiliate payments. We talked about getting high commission payments, but also you need to get paid at least once per month. Some affiliate programs have a money back guarantee and they hold your commission until this guarantee period expires like (Click Bank affiliate network) from this action you can understand that they are not sure of the satisfaction and they have high percent of money back requests. In this case we recommend that you stay away from promoting such products. Best affiliate programs also offer a money back guarantee but they pay your commission any way and they absorb the money back requests because it’s their problem costumers don’t like the products not yours, and they have a minimum money back requests.

7.       Customer support and delivery. If you are promoting an affiliate product you must be 100% sure of the customer support provided by the company and the delivery of the products, if you purchase the product by yourself then you can have a good idea, also there is a good way to do so by purchasing the affiliate product from your own affiliate links, this way you can test both the customer support, delivery and your affiliate payments.

Other way to do so is by asking other affiliates who already promoting these products.

Best affiliate programs are mostly the most popular affiliate programs out there, and popularity does not mean the first shows in the search engines, but the most popular sites promoting this programs.
