Affiliate marketing is a growing industry online for people who wish to earn money online. With online businesses reaching out through affiliate marketing, there are many opportunities available for bloggers and other people to earn money passively.
Since there are a lot of affiliate marketing platforms out there that promise big returns, it can be hard to pick the best one from the list. To help you out, here are our recommendations for the best affiliate marketing platforms that you can try out:
AWIN
AWIN or Affiliate Window is one of the earliest affiliate marketing programs available and still in use today. It currently has 1,600 brands in its roster in various industries and helps users get access to affiliate market links from top brands like HP, Etsy and AliExpress.
To be a member of the platform, users have to pay $5, which will be returned to you if you are accepted.

This is an amazing list, Kally.
One thing bloggers who want to make money from affiliate marketing don’t understand is that by a large margin, affiliate marketing play by a different rule for them.
Here is what I think: if your blog is not or doesn’t function like a sales funnel of some sort, you would be leaving some money on the table.
I exposed this in one of my articles about affiliate marketing for bloggers.
If you are a blogger, break the rules a little and stray from the usual article-link approach and try persuasive writing.
By this, I mean that every blogger who wants to make more affiliate sales should write their articles in a way that would expose the reader’s challenges, assure them that they are not alone and subtly point them to areas in their article that contain links to those “helpful” affiliate products they promote.
Before now, Kally, I knew nothing about VigLink.
I guess it is time to check it out.
This is such a great list.
Thanks for this.
