There’s a lot of information to wade through before you start generating affiliate revenue.

Although you may already be promoting various products and services, you aren’t earning money online as an affiliate partner until you choose from the different affiliate programs and sign up.

What’s a successful affiliate marketing strategy? Choose an affiliate business and affiliate product that you already know and use. If you do that, you’ll find it easy to create content to promote products and earn passive income.

Set up an affiliate relationship, organize your affiliate strategy, and begin to earn money.

Here are our picks for the top 12 hosting companies. We’ve provided the affiliate link for each one:

1. Amazon Associates

Amazon is the largest affiliate sales program in the world. There are literally millions of products available.

However, as you can expect, it’s very competitive. You’ll have to concentrate your marketing efforts on a few select products.

2. Affiliate Future

Affiliate Future boasts a network of more than 600 advertisers.

3. Avant Link

Avant Link focuses on partnerships with more than 800 premium advertising brands. Campaigns focus on the brand, and indirectly the products under the brand umbrella.

4. CJ Affiliate

This company focuses on affiliate campaigns for some heavy hitter companies such as Overstock, Blue Apron, Turbo Tax, Barnes & Noble.

5. ClickBank.com

Affiliate marketing works on this site by connecting innovative product owners with affiliate marketing folks. For some product owners, the marketing budget may not support high commissions until you prove affiliate marketing success. This is one of the biggest affiliate networks, so learning how to use ClickBank can pay off.

6. FlexOffers

More than 12,000 advertisers have signed up for FlexOffers affiliate marketing campaigns. The company has an affiliate platform with multiple levels of digital performance-based marketing tools.

7. Linkconnector

This company has exclusives on a number of global brands.

8. PPC or Paid Per Click

This is a great option for bloggers to generate income.

Those who read your blog post (or visit your website) click on a product or service you mention in your blog. How much traffic is funneled to the product or service depends on what your readers do.

You have to go to the websites of the specific products or companies to find out if they participate in a PPC program.

You can also generate passive income by displaying ads that your website visitors see.

9. ShareaSale.com

With this program, the focus is on increasing online sales. The company’s product or service is shared as a link back to the site.

10.Via the website of Products and Services You Like and Use

Who knows? You may get your start in affiliate marketing by looking no further than your kitchen cupboard, where you store the family’s Go To products. Visit that company’s website with a quick google search to see if an affiliate program is offered.

11. Shopify

This is a great fit for people who run online training courses or webinars through their own website.

Your audience becomes paid traffic, as people are referred to a Shopify product via a link you provide. You earn a commission on each Shopify referral.

12.Via Product Owner/Entrepreneur

Is there a new product that you really like? Reach out to the owner to describe how you can generate more traffic – and more sales – for the product owner.

Present it this way – the person won’t lose money on advertising. You will only be paid by sales generated.
