- According to Statista affiliate marketing spending

[3]

in just the United States alone

[5]

[10]

That's more than triple what it was 10 years earlier.

[13]

Hey everyone, I'm Neil Patel.

[15]

And today I'm going to break down

[16]

the six highest paying affiliate platforms to use in 2022.

[21]

(upbeat music)

[25]

Before we get started

[26]

make sure you subscribe to this channel,

[31]

Lots of bloggers make money from affiliate marketing.

[34]

Just look at Pat from Smart Passive Income.

[37]

A report from Awin shows that 65% of affiliate marketers

[40]

choose content marketing to generate traffic.

[43]

With affiliate marketing content creators

[45]

can make commission by marketing

[47]

someone else's product or service.

[49]

Every time a sale's generated, they get paid out.

[52]

It's usually a percentage base or even a flat fee

[56]

based on the lifetime value of the customer

[59]

that you're driving to those companies, right?

[61]

In essence, you drive a buyer,

[63]

you get paid each and every single time.

[66]

And if you're getting started with affiliate marketing

[69]

and want to learn about it,

[70]

I have a video about what is affiliate marketing

[73]

and how you can leverage it,

[74]

and you should see a link for it on the screen

[77]

if you're watching YouTube.

[79]

So there's a huge opportunity for you to monetize

[81]

your traffic right now,

[83]

whether you're generating organic traffic

[85]

through, let's say content marketing, SEO,

[87]

or you have tons of followers on social media.

[90]

But before I give you my list

[92]

of the highest paying affiliate platforms

[94]

I just want you to understand

[96]

that there are two ways for you to get paid as an affiliate.

[98]

There's a one-time payout.

[100]

This is when you get paid right after

[102]

a sale has been made from your affiliate link.

[104]

Usually they'll pay you out

[105]

within 30-60 days after that sale.

[107]

So here's the problem with getting paid out one time.

[110]

Your payments are usually more than

[112]

what the cost that the person just did for that transaction.

[116]

For example, if they just bought something

[118]

that was $10 a month,

[119]

you're probably going to get paid out 50 bucks or even $100.

[123]

Now the con with that model,

[125]

you won't be able to forecast your revenue

[127]

as each month the sales you generate can vary,

[130]

which impacts the predictability

[132]

on how much you're going to earn every single month.

[135]

The second type of way to earn affiliate revenue

[138]

is reoccurring commission.

[139]

Every time they get paid, you get paid.

[143]

That's, in essence, the model with affiliate

[146]

that's monthly reoccurring.

[147]

Now it's a percentage of the transaction.

[149]

So if someone's getting charged $10 a month,

[152]

you may get paid $3 a month or $5 a month.

[155]

But if that customer lasts two, three years,

[157]

it can add up to a pretty penny.

[159]

Now here's a pro with that.

[161]

Every month you'll generate consistent revenue.

[163]

And the more you continually promote that product,

[166]

the more consistent your income will be.

[168]

If you promote that platform,

[170]

that has a low churn rate, high retention,

[173]

your money will really start adding up over time.

[176]

Now here's the con.

[178]

You're going to make a tiny bit of money every single month.

[181]

And it'll take a really long time to ramp up.

[184]

And assuming that platform retains

[186]

their customers really well, you'll do well.

[188]

But if not, you'll suffer.

[191]

Now, those are just two types

[192]

of affiliate platforms out there.

[194]

And now let's dive into affiliate networks

[197]

so you can get a chance to pick and choose

[199]

which platform and program is right for you,

[202]

because each and every single one of these platforms

[205]

have different programs.

[207]

And you can pick and choose which programs

[209]

and certain types of payments you want to go after.

[212]

And they're all different.

[213]

And let's say you have a health site, or a casino site,

[216]

or financial site, it doesn't matter.

[219]

You literally can pick all different types of platforms,

[222]

create content, and generate revenue,

[224]

but the things that you promote

[226]

need to be relevant to your audience.

[228]

Whether it's nutrition, or sports, or healthy foods,

[231]

et cetera, it doesn't matter.

[233]

And affiliate programs from an individual company,

[236]

let's say, you know, let's say you want to partner

[239]

with Ubersuggest, my SEO tool, right?

[242]

I've a SEO tool, you can be affiliate,

[245]

and you need to subscribe.

[246]

And then once you're affiliate you can promote

[247]

the sas based product and you can get paid.

[250]

Now the big difference with this is

[252]

when you promote something that's like

[254]

health or fitness related

[255]

most of those things are one time.

[257]

And the other stuff like the software,

[259]

the reoccurring stuff,

[260]

typically you'll start getting paid out monthly.

[262]

Now, with Ubersuggest,

[263]

I don't really have an affiliate program.

[265]

I was just more so using that as an example for you.

[267]

So now let's dive in to the networks.

[270]

First one I have for you Shareasale, check it out.

[273]

The next one I have for you, ClickBank.

[275]

ClickBank is more so well-known for selling eBooks,

[278]

but they're really popular.

[279]

CJ is another one.

[281]

Amazon, especially if you want

[282]

to promote products on Amazon.

[284]

eBay also has their own partner program.

[286]

It's called the Ebay Partner Network, EPN,

[289]

and there's also Flexoffers.

[291]

Now, here's some of the highest paying affiliate programs

[295]

that I've seen from companies.

[297]

Fiverr, earn up to $150 cpa for every first time buyer

[302]

or up to $1000 per sale

[305]

with their $10 cpa/10% rev share hybrid model.

[309]

Services prices can go up to $10,000.

[312]

Bluehost, payouts starting at $65.

[315]

Hostinger, can offer affiliates up to $150 per sale

[319]

on a tiered pricing structure.

[321]

Their affiliate partner program offers

[323]

a base payout of around $60,

[326]

with the opportunity to make up to $150.

[330]

Now, that's affiliate marketing in a nutshell.

[332]

And especially when you're looking at 2022,

[335]

make sure you jump on the bandwagon.

[337]

If you're already talking or promoting other products,

[340]

might as well get paid in affiliate format.

[342]

If you're not,

[343]

you don't necessarily have to get into affiliate marketing,

[345]

especially if you already have something

[346]

that's making you a ton of money

[347]

like your business or your job,

[349]

but if you want some extra income

[351]

and you're already talking about other products or services,

[355]

join up for their affiliate program.

[357]

And if they don't have one,

[358]

go find another amazing product or service that's related

[361]

and sign up for their affiliate program.

[363]

Now, if you have any questions,
