This marketing affiliate guide will cover 3 top affiliate programs on the internet. I'll point they advantages and disadvantages, they unique points, what can you expect from the program and how profitable can it be. The programs I've choose to review are: Acme people search, Wealthy Affiliates and Click Bank. To make it clear, I already used or I'm using those affiliate programs, so you can expect some real evaluations.
To start the marketing affiliate manual I choose Click Bank. This is a digital store, that offers 100's of e-books, scripts and programs in the most different topics. You can easily become an affiliate; they don't require any specific documentation, besides name, address, country, etc. The commissions are defined by the product vendor, but can be sometimes very high, for instance 70% of the product value.
The earnings are paid by check.
Since they offer a lot of products, you have a big chance of finding a good one to advertise and earn your commission on but it is also very hard to use the search function on the site, and the content is kind of messy.Now its time for Wealthy Affiliates. If you never heard of it, WA is one of the best online training sites on online marketing. It offers every tool you will ever need to start and maintain a campaign like a keyword research tool, Squidoo optimization guides, article marketing courses... Each affiliate you bring to WA gives you $20 recurring monthly or $175 recurring yearly. They also have an incentive program, which gives you a all paid plane ticket/hotel/etc trip to Las Vegas, where you will visit the WA headquarters. The only disadvantage is: WA membership can be a little pricy, but definitely worth it.
My marketing affiliate manual now covers the ACME People Search referral system. They system is unique because they offer different income streams. From ACME itself, each referral means $30, when they complete a 3 step procedure. But if you completed the 3 steps too, you can use your referrals in a unique feature called Forced matrix, which can make you about $9000/mo in residual income, from Global Domains International. Also, if you become a Super Affiliate, you can earn up to $125 for referral, from Host Gator.
