Affiliate Marketing - What Are The 2 Best Affiliate Networks To Start Off With?

There is no doubt, to make a lot of money online without even having your own product, affiliate marketing is the way. But with so many affiliate programs being offered online, where can you find the best programs. 2 of the best affiliate networks that i have found are CPA networks and Clickbank.com.

What is a CPA (Cost-Per-Action) network?
You get paid a commission for a set action such as a visitor entering their email address or getting a free trial of a product.

CPA networks offer mainly lead generation programs. This is good because it means you get paid for a simple action such as someone entering their email address. You don’t even need to make a sale.

There are many CPA networks online that you can find by doing a search in Google. Many of them offer the same offers.

Clickbank.com
This is an affiliate network that offers mainly digital products such as eBooks, Video and Software. It is very easy to open an account with them and you can have your first product link in as little as 5 minutes.

They pay out per sale, which is harder to generate than a lead. But they do pay out big commissions like 50-70% per sale.

So which affiliate network and offer would i choose?
Both affiliate networks offer programs in many categories. Depending on the market you choose, i would look through both of these networks for an offer that is a good match for my customers. Check to make sure that the product is good one with a good sales page and that it looks like it will be around for a while. Why? Because you don’t want to build up traffic for an offer that gets shut down.

How do you find the best offers?
In Clickbank.com they have stats for their programs. If you check the “gravity” stat, the higher the better. This means that many affiliates are promoting and making money from the product. These are the offers to go for.

In CPA networks they have a stat called “EPC” which usually means earnings per 100 clicks. The higher this figure, the better because it means that more people are making sales per 100 clicks (or hits to your site).
