1.Commission Junction
Commission Junction (CJ) is one of the oldest affiliate networks. It is one of the most trusted affiliate networks in the world. In fact, I have started my internet marketing career with CJ only.
You can choose any program from its wide variety of advertiser’s list. They got great reporting features and you get paid on time every month. Really great for new affiliate marketers.
However, getting approval from advertisers to promote a program could be difficult because not all of them approve especially a newcomer.

5.ClixGalore
ClixGalore is very popular but it is not liked by affiliate marketers in general. The program has many pros and cons. But what I like about this program is that you can place their advertisement in emails and newsletters.
Moreover there is no limit on number of advertisements you can place on your website and that is what makes ClixGalore a popular affiliate program.
It is great for new affiliate marketers to start with.
- Threshold Amount: $50
- Payment Mode: Pay Check and Pay Pal
- Website: clixgalore.com
6.Avant Link
It has a great list of merchants that you can choose from. As far as commission structure is concerned it is very flat.
The whole site is very good with robust features and user interface. However it is for only citizen living US, Canada and Australia.
Just avoid it if you are living in any other country.
- Threshold Amount: $50
- Payment Mode: Pay Check and Pay Pal
- Website: avantlink.com/signup
7.iTunes Affiliate Program
There is no doubt about the huge sales growth of apple products all over the world. And there is no doubt that people who buy apple products don’t purchase music, apps, books & more from iTunes store.
So there is great potential & good commission if you write about various iTunes apps & other products & give people a reason to buy the same from iTunes.
You can find more details at apple.com/itunes/affiliates.
8.Peerfly
PeerFly is quite complicated affiliate network. The commission is rate is low and there are fewer products to promote. Moreover the approval is also very tough.
However some other great things are they pay you monthly, weekly and even daily in all kinds of payment mode.
The network is not very good for new affiliate marketers.
- Threshold Amount: $50
- Payment Mode: Postal Check, Pay Pal, Direct Bank Transfer

9.ClickBank
Click Bank just like Commission junction is also one of the oldest affiliate networks. I started with Click Bank.
The network offers some serious benefits for new affiliate marketers. Like commission rate could be up to 75% and there are myriads of products to choose from.
They pay you weekly or monthly plus threshold amount is also very low.
However, you need to be careful with choosing products because many of them are just trash.
- Threshold Amount: $10
- Payment Mode: Pay Check, Pay Pal

10.Shaadi.com
Those who love surfing Internet and write about relationship then Shaddi.com is the best program to promote. You can write as well as make money with it.
If someone subscribes on your behalf then you could make up to 75% in commission. However commissions are only when someone subscribes to Shaadi.com not when someone registers.
