Make Affiliate Money

It is no secret that Clickbank has been having some problems recently, in making some big changes to Worldwide currency options and issues with tracking hops, many people are starting to ask about alternatives to Clickbank.

I thought I would share my experiences and opinions of the alternatives that I have used and tested with varying success.

Paydotcom

this is the closest alternative to Clickbank, operating in a similar way, putting publishers of electronic products in touch with affiliates. Again, the commissions are high, between 50% and 70%. The main difference is that the publisher pays affiliates direct via paypal at a certain point in the month. The other big difference is that there are no where near the number of publishers or products to promote on paydotcom. I was looking for some alternative Forex products there but only found one or two pretty lame looking ones.

Plimus

I don’t know much about this as I have only just signed up, but I was approached by a publisher who wanted me to promote his forex product, but he was promoting only via Plimus. Need to do a bit more research and find out the details, at first glance there aren’t many products and you have to ask Publisher to promote the product.

Tradedoubler

Other than Clickbank this is where I have made some decent money. This is a worldwide affiliate network that has some big name companies and has great tracking and affiliate materials.  This is a CPA and CPL company which has a lot of offers paying fairly low % commissions, but I have focused on bigger payout things like Franking Machines which payout £50 for a lead, I have had two of these with very little effort.

There are lots of other CPA companies such as AzoogleAds, NeverBlue, commissionjunction and affiliatefuture which have have used in the past.  I have made some money with affiliatefuture but the % commission is low and the items that are promoted are low ticket items so I haven’t made the minimum payout yet.

CJ is a pain because you have to apply to promote the companies/offers.  This seems stupid to me, surely they would be happy to make sales whoever they come from?  A lot of people make big money promoting AzoogleAds email or phone sign ups, you need cheap or free traffic to make that work.

In conclusion there isn’t really a viable alternative to Clickbank at the moment with the variety of products and high payouts, there are a lot of loyal publishers and even more loyal affiliates, if you are thinking about launching a product you would be mad not to put it on clickbank!
