subject: How To Locate Affiliate Programs [print this page]

I am an affiliate marketer that is actively working several affiliate

programs. Many people who are new to online marketing understand that

affiliate programs offer the best opportunities for making money on the

Internet, and such programs also allow marketers the chance to start

generating cash-flow right away. The first step in the process of

earning an income through affiliate marketing is to locate one of the

many programs that are available. From there, a marketer can choose an

opportunity that meets their specific needs and desires. There are

three simple ways to locate affiliate programs, and I will describe

each method below.

Take advantage of affiliate directories

Affiliate program directories are similar to the large phone books that

are used to locate brick and mortar businesses. A marketer can find

these directories on the internet, and one of the best resources for

locating affiliate programs is at Yahoo! Directory. Another directory

is called DMOZ, and this website lists many types of affiliate programs

based on the sector one wishes to be associated with and specific

geographical criteria.

Large affiliate networks offer many opportunities

The most recognized large affiliate network is called Clickbank, and

this resource gives users access to thousands of affiliate programs.

What is so helpful about these large networks is that there are many

diverse types of affiliate programs listed, and it is also possible to

contact others who are making money off of each program, in an effort

to see exactly how the affiliate program works.

Do the legwork

Sometimes an affiliate program may not be heavily advertised, so it may

serve a marketer's best interest to contact a business directly to see

if they offer a private program. This is an especially good technique

if a marketer has a specific field of interest or is an expert in one

area because they can find a program that will take advantage of their

unique skill-set.
