Who is Your Bro, Newbie?

15 Best Affiliate Networks Overview. Test for their favor to newbies.

If you’re a newbie in the affiliate marketing, choosing the right affiliate program can be a real headache. The affiliate market is full of offers, but it can be really tricky to pick the right one. Studying reviews of affiliate networks, you face the fact that they are all similar. This is not surprising, since all affiliate programs use the same selling models.

Having faced this problem many times, we decided to make your life easier and compiled our own list of the most popular affiliate programs with basic info about them.

Choosing the right affiliate network

Do not waste your time registering randomly in different affiliate programs — it will give nothing. In order to start running traffic, you need to answer a couple of questions. What offers will you run traffic to? Which vertical or niche are you interested in? Which countries will you start targeting? What traffic sources will you use? What creatives?

Do you find it difficult to answer? Go back to the start. This is the base, you can’t go anywhere without it!

Almost all affiliate programs will ask you the same questions after the registration. You will answer all of them and even more because you are expected to have a plan. Sometimes you even have to go through an oral interview if you want to register. Enjoy reading.

List of affiliate networks

Below you will find a list of affiliate networks with brief information about them. The affiliate networks listed here were selected by users of our beloved PeerClick tracker.

It is important to note that it is not a rating. All the facts below are our personal experience. It is simply not possible to choose the best affiliate program. The success of registration depends on many factors, including your skills as an affiliate marketer. Therefore, we have arranged the collected information in alphabetical order.

Collecting the information

Having studied the company websites, LinkedIn profiles and public info we have collected the data. We also have added examples from our own experience. I hope the colleagues will forgive us for our little deception.

The uniqueness of this article is based on the qualitative approach to checking the affiliate programs for their friendliness and interest in newbies.

An ordinary Russian girl Diana helped us in our difficult task. Diana is pretty, smart, sociable and ready to start her journey to the zenith of affiliate glory. In general, she is a dream of every guy from the affiliate world

The only disadvantage of Diana is that she is not a real girl. According to legend, the girl has just started her career, she is full of enthusiasm and ready to rush into battle, but she definitely lacks practical knowledge.

Diana has never launched an advertising campaign, but she has already figured out the verticals that she is interested in. They are the following: gambling, nutra, dating, e-commerce and mobile. So, Diana applied for registration in all the networks below. The point of our research is which affiliate programs will approve our account, without requiring experience, special knowledge or an interview via Skype (Diana is a very timid girl).

We don’t want to say that networks which don’t accept newbies are bad. Every affiliate program has its own business model. Yes, some of them work only with experienced partners, but they also have their own plus. Here you can get higher payouts for conversions.

Let’s start our journey.
