Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to get started with an online business. No having to deal with the hassles and massive costs associated with physical product creation, merchant setups, website creation, and customer service.
So which are the best affiliate networks for physical products?
I asked successful Internet marketers which ones they preferred and got these 2 responses:
*** My Favorite is ShareASale ***
*** My Favorite is ShareASale ***“Hi John, I’ve worked with several affiliate networks both as a publisher and managing affiliate programs for brands.
“By far, my favorite is ShareASale. It gives you access to a huge pool of publishers, who can easily find you.
“You are able to easily customize your program, set your commission rates and/or bounties, amend your program terms, send newsletters, manage 2-tier programs and bonus campaigns. You can be as involved or as uninvolved as you like.
“From the publisher end, it is easy to find programs in which you’re interested, the terms are clear and you’re notified of any changes, and you are paid monthly.”

*** My Go To Affiliate Network For Physical Products is ShareASale ***
“Hi John,
“My go to affiliate network for physical products is ShareASale. I use ShareASale because they have a couple of filters in their advanced search that I really like:
“1. Has Coupons Available: In my experience, coupons and promo codes have always had a significantly higher conversion rate than normal affiliate links. A coupon code provides real value to both myself and the shopper, whereas normal affiliate links are more one-sided.
“2. Cookie Length: This is another important factor in my search for affiliate programs. Assuming that I’ve already found two brands with comparable products and solid company reputations, a longer cookie duration will equate to significantly more sales down the road.”

Other Affiliate Networks For Physical Products
There’s two other affiliate networks for physical products that I highly recommend.
The first is Commission Junction, or CJ for short. CJ has been a leading affiliate marketplace for years and is very strict about admission of new affiliates. Lots of big name brands host their affiliate program with CJ.
The second recommendation is Amazon. Amazon has it’s own affiliate program called Amazon Associates. As an Amazon Associate you earn commissions on sales of all products on Amazon’s website that you refer.
