A list of affiliate programs for budding affiliate marketers, bloggers, vloggers and content creators.

It's a daunting task to find suitable affiliate programs as a beginner, which I also happened to face at the beginning of my affiliate marketing journey,

So I came up with this section containing the resources and information about online business and affiliate marketing for those who are starting out.

But before you go through the list here's a brief guide on how to choose an affiliate program. It's very important for you to have a clear understanding of how to start as an affiliate marketer and choose your programs wisely.

So the first thing before you start affiliate marketing, it is very important for you to choose a specific niche, which I believe should be according to the things you know about or maybe have a passion to learn about.

The second step would be to choose a platform to promote your affiliate products. But remember to give value first and promote your links last. It will just work out in your favour in the long run.

When it comes to choosing a platform to build an audience, I believe starting a website or a YouTube channel is the best way to promote your affiliate products.

And if you are a bit confused about what tools to use while starting your affiliate business and your website, here's my list of tools and services that I personally use for my business.

The last one would be to choose your products according to your niche and leverage various social media platforms to promote your affiliate links indirectly by redirecting your audience to your website and YouTube channel.

The other way around would be promoting your affiliate products through paid advertisements on Facebook, Google and other Native ad platforms like Taboola or Outbrain.

The list has been divided into different tables according to the affiliate program's commission structure.

High Paying Affiliate Programs

These are some of the highest-paying affiliate programs that you can join to try and make higher returns quickly.

Recurring-Based Affiliate Programs

If you are looking to play it safe and earn your commission month after month, these programs might be suitable for you.

Two-Tier Affiliate Programs

The other way to play it safe would be to join two-tier structured affiliate programs. All you will have to do is recruit sub-level affiliates under you and start earning a percentage of their commission.

Pay-Per-Sign-Up Affiliate Programs

Pay-per-sign-up is also a great way to start as a beginner. You won't be earning much but it will be easier to convert more people in this category as most of these services start with a free plan.

Other Affiliate Programs

And finally, these are some well-known and common affiliate programs with amazing and well-known services.

Try applying for three to five affiliate programs in the beginning or it might just overwhelm and confuse you quickly. Start with a few and increase your network gradually.

The list will be updated occasionally whenever there are any changes made in the programs. I will also try and update the list with more awesome programs that I come across.

And if you are searching for affiliate networks that you can join instantly, here is a list that I made about some affiliate networks that I am registered with.

Lastly, if you are a new blogger or a website owner, signing up for an ad network might be one of your first steps to monetize your site, then here's a post I wrote about the best advertising networks for beginner publishers.
