Affiliate programs
|
| 1. | Commission Junction
Manages affiliate programs for hundreds of merchants such as MSN, Expedia, and international clients like Euro Rail. They consolidate your affiliate commission payments into one check.
|
| 2. | Life Long Learning Educational Programs
Offers 50% sales commission on all online educational programs and certificates.
|
| 3. | Linkshare the largest and one of the oldest, affiliate marketing networks on the Internet. After acceptance into Linkshare, some merchants may embrace you while others turn you away based on your site traffic or appearance. Payment plans vary widely depending on the merchant, but Linkshare simplifies matters by processing all of your payments (even if you are affiliates with a hundred or more merchants) and sending out the checks. They also have a tremendous set of management and tracking tools. You can see at a glance what you're owed and by whom for any day, week or month. Linkshare offers so many merchant options that you could literally spend days making selections and each merchant offers a variety of banner and text links for affiliate use. Most of the merchant categories are well arranged, but some are mind boggling. Before you can actually view the multiple categories listed below, your site must be "approved" for membership.
Linkshare Merchant Categories:
| |
Auto: Sell auto accessories, set up rentals or sell cars - used and new- online. Payments range from 1-10% for sites such as autoaccessory.com and speed gear racing clothes. BUT if you help sell a new or used car online you get a flat $3-$10 payment. Does this make sense?
Business and Career: Some misleading categories exist such as B to B which is actually full of companies like AT&T, wines and gift baskets. The Employment category has no employment sites and real estate has sheets and blinds!
Clothing and Accessories: Babies, children, men and women… from the likes of Forzieri.com Italian designer leathers, International Male, Baby Style and Bare Necessities.
Computers and Electronics: Your Profit percentage may seem chintzy, but these are high price items, Dell 1%, Fujuitsu gives 2% on their laptops, Camera world 5%, and Office Max offers 4-10% depending on the product type.
Department Stores: Merchants such as Brooks Brothers, Cold Water Creek, Target, Marshall Fields and Nordstrom all paying 5-7%.
Entertainment: Snow and surf boards, books, videos, toys and games. Not all options are PG merchants, but the generally wholesome group includes Disney, Gospel Direct, and Sony.
Family: Clothing, books, videos, toys and games AND PETS are stuck here-with no actual pet related companies.
Financial Services: Get paid for sending people to sign up for American Express cards, AT&T, or H&R Block services. Most merchants in this category are flat fee payments for actual sign ups, not sales percentages.
Food and Drink: Fines wines, Omaha steaks, imported chocolates and cigars, gift baskets and the famous catalog "Harry and David" gourmet food gifts.
Games and Toys: I suppose computers qualify as educational toys- Dell dishes out 1%, Disney store 5%, The Snoopy Store 10%-- not many "true" games and toys to choose from.
Gifts and Flowers: 10% commissions from the likes of 1-800-flowers.com and art.com, 8% at Dutch gardens and on wines / champagne sales.
Health and Beauty: Everything from online pharmacies such as drugstore.com to LaParumerie.com for designer cosmetics and perfumes.
Hobbies and Collectibles: Art, Auctions and Collectibles.
Home and Living: Home Improvement, bed and bath, kitchens and gardens.
Internet and Online: Web design, web hosting, eCommerce etc.
Miscellaneous: Transdermal smoking patches, wheel chairs and many items which actually do belong in a real category such as the candies and software.
Office Equipment and Supplies: Office Depot and Office Max are the big players in this category.
Sports and Fitness: Up to 30 % sales percentage payments from some merchants. Everything from boating supplies to snowboards.
Telecommunications: Equipment, Long distance and Wireless. That means local and long distance phone service, phone cards, cell phones, and hand held PCs.
Travel: Some nice choices in this category include airline, car, hotel reservations and gift certificates for over 1000 national spas.

| 4. | Pharmacy Affiliate Programs: They sell real prescription drugs, legally, and you do not need to have any medical affiliation to be accepted as a merchant affiliate.
- AmeriMedRx Pays affiliates 15% of the total ordered prescription cost and an additional 5% when your customers order refills or any other products. 3% bonus for signing up level Tier II affiliates.
- Escripts MD $20 plus 10% on orders. 5% for all sales of sub-affiliates who sign up under you.
|
| 5. | Web Sponsors pays each time someone subscribes, opts-in, or buys something.
Merchants include the NY Times, TV Guide and a slew of other newspapers and magazines. Yes, you get paid to be an online magazine subscription seller without ever having to ring a doorbell. Other affiliate choices include Music clubs such as BMG and sites selling everything from alternative healing to pet food.
