The Best Affiliate Programs for Bloggers

There is no question, partnering with affiliates whether on your own products or with their products is pure gold. With that said, you can't simply jump in and think the money will start rolling on in…so how do you find the best affiliate programs?

You have to be strategic.

You have to do your research.

You have to consider cookie terms.

You have to think seriously about commission rates.

There are only so many hours in the day and so many emails you can send out to your audience…

Make your product promotions relevant and make certain you're getting a big bang for your buck.

Best Affiliate Programs

I didn't make this brilliance up. I learned from a master, or shall I say, “the” master, Michelle Schroader-Gardner of Making Sense of Cents. She makes over $100k EVERY month largely driven by affiliate sales.  Her course Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing gives you a rock solid foundation to build upon to create and execute a lucrative affiliate strategy with your blog, your social media, and your newsletter.

Passive Income Rules.

You want to make money when you sleep. We have families to tend to and bodies to take care of…

Am I right?

In order to help save you a bit of time, I vetted my affiliate program strategy and below you will find my favorites based on creative, communication, product relevance, cookie terms, and commission rates.  You won't find Amazon on this list.
