Welcome tipconnection!

Thanks for weighing in on this
and for making a great 1st 5 Star post.

I just started a few months ago with Viralytics Media. They are the best network I've been with. They have very solid CPMs so far. Ask for Patrick there. He's my account rep and he's very responsive. They only pay via check or paypal which kind sucks, but everything else is good.

Thank you for the honest reviews. I am amazed every day when I check in here. You folks are a very giving bunch instead of what's in it for me, like most other forums I've tried.

It really depends on what you are looking for and how you plan to promote the programs.

I've worked with a lot over the years and I've had the most success with ClickBank, Shareasale, Viralytics Media and Commission Junction. I think Commission Junction is probably the best just based on customer service.

Another really good network that is super high integrity and treats affiliates right is AdValiant. They are more on the CPA network side of things right now. They are coming onboard as a 5 Star program, so you know they have to be pretty high quality. I don't normally endorse CPA networks.

Here is some info about how AdValiant is different and part of why I'm impressed with them.

I would have to say that you would have to find an affiliate network which focuses more on the niche that you are interested in. You can always sign up to new affiliate networks, and cancel your account if you don't feel their offers are up to par. When it really comes down to it, you're looking for mainly 3 things:

1) The type of offers they carry

2) The price on each offer (if the offer is paying out more on another affiliate network i would run it with them, $1-$2 more is a huge difference on a lead)

3) And the support.

Hopefully this somewhat helped.

I agree all the way!

The answer to this question can really vary, depending on the kind of niche you want. Do you want to sell boats? TV's? Lawn equipment? Furniture? Health products? The list goes on and on.

What I would do is make a list of things that you are really passionate about. Once you have that list, narrow it down to the things that you LOVE the most. What you're left with is the niche you want to market.

The next step is researching that niche on the computer. This can be the most lengthy and time-consuming process. Try various keywords that contain the name of your niche. Look at different forums that focus specifically on that niche. Last of all, find an affiliate that caters to that niche.

If you have done all that, my friend, you will be on the way to starting with an affiliate.

You have a good day!

Few networks are the ones I use and make money promoting, so for me they are the best ones for my business. I recommend that you join each one, and find the merchants within them to promote with your content on websites, web 2.0 portals, blogs and message boards.

Some of the better known was work well for newbies. Then once you get the drift of things, you can start exploring some of the other ones.
