Which Affiliate Programs Do I Personally Recommend?
I personally receive over a dozen checks and commission payments every month from various affiliate programs that I promote.
Last month, those checks totaled more than ,000 and some months they have been as high as ,000.
Given my success as an affiliate marketer, I'm often asked what affiliate programs I personally recommend.
The answer is easy because it's actually a pretty short list.
First, let me explain what an affiliate program is.
Affiliate programs are used by monster companies like Amazon, eBay, and many others to recruit resellers(affiliates) to help bring customers to their websites.
But the affiliate programs I prefer are those offered by smaller companies that sell digital products online. Those are the programs that pay up to 75% commission, while most larger
companies may pay just a few percent.
You can join an affiliate program usually by applying online at the company's website. Being accepted into the program gives you the right to market the company's products as an independent reseller and receive commissions when you make a sale.
I've looked at hundreds of affiliate programs over the years and have come up with my own personal Top 10 Affiliate Programs that I actively participate in and heartily recommend.
Some of these programs require that you pay a membership fee and some do not. The reason some programs charge a fee (including my own affiliate programs) is because you get more value as an affiliate.
In most cases you get a full-blown website from which to sell the products and copies of most - if not all - of the products you'll be selling. For example, I charge 4.50 to join my program, but you get access to over 0 in products.
To make my list of the Top Affiliate Programs is not an easy task.
First of all, I have to personally be an affiliate of the program and must have earned considerable sums to prove its validity.
To make my list the program must also:
Offer quality products that offer real value, no fluff Offer high commissions (30% minimum, 50% preferred) Offer 2 tier commissions (if the 1st tier payout is substantial, I can live with a single tier)
Have a proven track record of success
Have a spotless reputation
Pay commissions on time, every time
Have well-known affiliates who will vouch for the program
Be more than 6 months old
Have a low rate or returns
Be referred to me by someone I trust.
That last one's a biggie for me. If one of my peers recommends a
program, I know it's going to be good.
So, here is my personal Top 10 Affiliate Programs that make me thousands of dollars every month and with a little time and effort, there is no reason they can't do the same for you.
These are the programs that I personally participate in and recommend. If you're serious about starting your own affiliate marketing empire, take a close look at these.

IMC was founded by the late Corey Rudl and is now headed up by Derek Gehl, Corey's right hand man. IMC racked up million in sales and

month.

This is the only turnkey dropship website company that I recommend and I have been their affiliate for 2 years now. I regularly earn 0
to ,000 week as an affiliate and also have my own turnkey dropship product site that brings in revenue from orders placed by customers. You
must sign on as a customer first, but doing so gets you your own turnkey website and affiliate marketing rights.
