Affiliate marketing can be very profitable, you can make a reasonable income over time by referring people to businesses that pay you for sending people to there link, or links to their products, and then when someone purchases that product. Commissions range from a few dollars, up to hundreds of dollars depending on what offer, or you choose to promote , and what the affiliate commission is for that particular product, or service.You can promote affiliate products, or services many different ways. Through social networking sites, submitting free articles, online forums, blog commenting, SEO, blogging, building an email list and sending them offers.There are a ton of ways to drive targeted traffic to your affiliate offers and make some extra money online. So here are some of the affiliate programs I have tried, tested, and recommend.

1.) Wealthy Affiliate- wealthy affiliate is my number one recommendation when it comes to affiliate marketing. It is free to get started and the training is extensive and easy to understand. Even if you know nothing about affiliate marketing you can learn with wealthy affiliate, they also have very good support, and you get 2 free websites when you sign up. you can make money with the wealthy affiliate with you own niche, and you can also make money promoting wealthy affiliate. It is the best affiliate program that I have come across so far.

2.) Clickbank – Clickbank is also a good program for affiliate marketing, they also have some pretty good free training teaching you how to make money with their program. Clickbank has 10,000 digital products for you to choose from in different categories to promote on your website. They also pay up to 75% commission which is great,and they always pay on time every time.You can get paid every other week as long as you have made a successful sale. Or you can get paid weekly directly into your checking account. Whichever payment method that you prefer is fine it is all based on your personal preference, It is also free to get an account!

3.) Commission Junction- Commission Junction is a lot like Click Bank you can set up a free account, and then find products to promote on your website and earn commissions.

4,) ShareaSale- ShareaSale is a lot like ClickBank as well, find merchants you want to promote on your website and make commissions,You have to enter your website, and your website e-mail and have them approved though.

5.) Market Health Affiliate Program - This website has an affiliate program but, they only have health and beauty products to promote.

6.) Google Adsense - Sign up for a free account with google adsense, then login and you can get a ad code, put the code on your website, When visitors click on your ad you get paid, You are allowed 3 ad blocks on every page.

7.) Amazon Affiliate Network – Amazon is a household name so there affiliate products sell very well. The downside of Amazon is there affiliate commissions are a lot lower than the two I mentioned above so you will have to sell more products to make up for the difference. But Amazon products sell very well so keep that in mind and see how Amazon compares in terms of revenue to Clickbank

These are my recommendations when it comes to affiliate marketing, enjoy, and please leave your questions and comments below. Happy money making!
