ALTERNATIVES TO CLICKBANK

What other options, besides ClickBank, are available for finding high-quality affiliates?

from Tom Robertson, 

I am new to affiliate marketing, a student only at this point with no sales as of this writing.

For the Quora monitors, I am going to list a number of sites to answer this question, imminently relevant to providing this questioner with an answer.

I have an affiliate link to a JVZoo product NOT referenced or self-promoted in this answer. Autodesk is on my stock trading workspace, but I have no open trades on that stock as of this writing.

To my understanding of your terms, in good faith I believe I am in compliance.

According to my education thus far - in addition to the site you mention in your question, which is to my knowledge the oldest in the market or nearly so - Warrior Plus and JVZoo are busy and well-known marketplaces for digital content.

Many big retailers such as Amazon and Walmart also have affiliate programs.

According to a recent internet search, the following digital marketplaces also offer affiliate programs: Envato, Wondershare, InPixio, InkyDeals, Animoto, SoftwareKeep, Dover Publications, Autodesk, Easy Digital Downloads, and WordPress themes.Word Press - which allows you to create a website - figures prominently in the businesses of many successful Internet and Affiliate marketers.

Whether you are a digital product producer looking for good affiliates to promote your product, or an affiliate marketer looking for good products to promote, data abound on the first two digital marketplaces I mentioned above. Both track affiliate sales. Both list copious statistics relative to the products sold including such data as sales ranking, pay per click, refund rates, and much more.

I hope this answers your question or at least points you in the right direction.

Any more knowledgeable or experienced than I reading the above, please offer amendments or corrections in the comments.Best of luck to you!

I asked Ruwan, "If you had to pick one that is really good at step-by-step direction, which would that be for you?  He answered that 

It depends on various factors.  If you are a newbie for affiliate marketing, my first suggestion is the Amazon affiliate program which is best for me. 

Ruwan's final comment came in on Saturday, December 28, 2019 at 10:43pm:

I simply walk through your whole website, there are lots of banners.

Please consider the following factors, then you can increase your sales.

1.   The first thing is your site is not secure, make it secure (https). Otherwise, people won’t trust you.

2.   Select the few best-selling products related to your niche and promote them. Don’t go with lots and also don’t forget to include coupon codes.

3.   Don’t tell people to purchase, educate them, guide them. Then they will purchase from your referral links.

4.   And I think you should concern about your website design /arrangement (go through my newly created affiliate marketing website, that may help you to get some ideas: Best Affiliate Programs for 2020 and like our Facebook for more details)

5.   I think SEO Training and Link Building Strategies – Backlinko is the best place for you to learn about SEO and increase traffic.

These are a few tips I can give, but there are lots of resources on the internet. learn them as much as possible. And good luck with your affiliate marketing Journey.

Clickbank Product reviews on Youtube, asking people to click on his affiliate link in the show notes.  It's a link that you get from Clickbank.  If someone watching your review clicks on the link, you're guaranteed a few nickels.  With Clickbank, you can cut-and-paste a link and make money with it.  He got paid like that, and the more videos he made, the more commissions he'd earn.  He was making $100 to $500 a day with this method that you can still use today.  It wasn't consistent but it was easy money and he enjoyed doing it.  

He found a popular video on the Facebook game, Farmville, and he suggested that they promote his affiliate link.  

"Traffic is not the problem."  Traffic is not a mystery, it's not something that only a few people know how to do.  "Traffic is something that is hiding in plain sight.  You can have almost as much traffic as you want on demand." Pay Facebook to get millions of people in front of your sales pages, opt-in pages, and affiliate links every single day.  Advertise on Google.  Advertise on YouTube.  You have to pay for traffic.  You have to pay for ads.  Real issue is getting more money out than you put in.  Put in $1 to get $2.  

Traffic   >    An Offer on a Product Sales Page (via Affiliate Link)     >    Commission (as high as 75%)

Hard to make a profit if you're using lower-priced profit if you're using this method.  Most important thing is how much money you earn from your traffic.  You're spending money on traffic.  How much money do you make back?  

EPC’s are averaging $15.98 across ALL Traffic, even the junk we’re getting, with partners doing webinars seeing EPC’s as high as $177!

Right now, the webinar replay is generating $20.50 EPC’s from all traffic! 

EPC is average earnings per click.  So my question is how do we get to pick the higher-earning ads?  

Vendor	Hop Count	Earnings Per Hop
	668	$15.02
	2,548	$12.20
	2,271	$5.83
	3,952	$2.23
	9,249	$0.83

So my question is how do we get to pick the higher-earning ads?  He was spending $4,000/day on a particular ad.  But guess what?  He doubled his money, making $8,000/day.  Okay, so he's asking folks to spend $1,000 on ads.  Spend a $1,000, get $2,000 in return is his game.  He says he started at $4/day and then he scaled up once he saw what was working.  

SEA CHANGE ON CLICKBANK.  Okay, what is it?  Marketers are having success with a specific online presentation.  What is it?  He'll tell you after 3 hours.  Goal is to bring in $1,000 commission in a single day.

Make money on other people's products.  Others have done the hard work, and they're willing to give $1,000 commission on every single sale without you handling customer service, without you handling product fulfillment, without you having to create a sales page or any of that stuff.  Okay, let's hear it.  As an affiliate, leverage with companies and products willing to give you a $1,000 commission.
