What are Affiliate Networks and how can they improve my Business

Affiliate networks are a great tool to take businesses or anyone offering a service or a product to an upper level.

These networks allow you to get to people that normally you wouldn’t be able to reach.

This happens because you “launch” the service or product in the Network, determine the commission you will pay, and then any of this Publishers or Affiliates will show your product to their audience (normally you need to approve them).

This publisher will normally do it through links inserted in banners, text on their blog entries, email campaigns, etc. The publishers that will do this normally are those who share the same audience as

The publishers that will do this normally are those who share the same audience as you and would share your advertisement in exchange for a commission.

For example, you give Business Coaching services. You set up your marketing strategy, your campaign, website, landing page, etc... You choose any of the affiliate networks. Launch your ad and make clear what the commission will be.

Then, a blogger who writes about business news, an influencer who gives speeches about personal improvement, or a YouTube channel that showcase what they consider is the best of the internet, they all publish it.

What would happen next?

You will be getting leads from these sources; the audience of this entire people will be watching you. Good isn’t it?

Choosing an Affiliate Network to sell my products online

Choosing between the many networks that exist is not an easy one. That is why we are here. We have selected some of the most important affiliate’s networks to use as a merchant.

We choose these options; they are the same you can see in our JVStation App: JVZoo, Warrior+ and ClickBank.

We opened an account on all these web pages so we can review them better. But the only way to know which Affiliate Networks works best is to you to try them.

ClickBank, Affiliate Network for the next level

ClickBank is one of the most widely known in the Internet Marketing arena.

It has more than 500.000 affiliates, people who may like to sell your products in exchange for a commission.

It is one of the few Networks that allow recurrent payments, meaning that the affiliates may win a recurrent commission for services like memberships.

So, now you can offer memberships to be sold and get more steady incomes.

ClickBank allows you to sell anything, from digital products and services up to physical goods. In this last case, they need to be shipped from the US.

According to reviews and blogs around, it is recommended to offer Affiliates between 10% to 70% commission on sales, in order to make them attractive.

As a publisher ClickBank charges a one-time fee of $49.95 per product and $1 + 7.5% from each sale. You can find more details about payments in https://support.clickbank.com/hc/en-us/articles/220376427-ClickBank-Fees

To sign up you need to have a valid website, with at least two pages: "Product Page" and a "Thank You Page".

On these pages, you need to have a very good copy and be well designed, as CB will review it before approving your product.

The “Product Page” must explain what the product is, and must have a way for the people to get it, normally is a “download” button on the place of your choice on the website. The “Thank You Page” is the page that the buyer

In addition, the “Thank You Page” is the page that the buyer sees when the transaction is complete.

If you want to become a vendor in CB, but you are from a country other than the US, consider that only these get approved:

• Australia.
• Austria.
• Belgium.
• Canada.
• France.
• Germany.
• Hong Kong.
• India.
• Ireland.
• Mexico.
• The Netherlands.
• New Zealand.
• Singapore.
• Spain.
• Switzerland.
• The United Kingdom.

By far, this is one of the best options, let’s review others.

Warrior Plus, simple is more

Warrior seems to be the simplest of the Affiliate Networks and actually is what they aim for.

This affiliate network has a long history in their shoulders. It seems that they were the first ones that talked about “warriors” to name the Internet Marketers.

Opening the account was quite simple, before you realize it you were already in the control panel. It is simple to the view, but you can see more details when hitting each tab.

Warrior is a good selection to start with Affiliate Marketing or Joint Ventures. For the time of this review, we couldn´t confirm how much does it cost to publish an offer or any other related cost for using their services.

JV Zoo, Taking Affiliates to the top

Another of our favorites.  JVZoo has done the best to be one of the top Affiliate Networks on the market.

Logging was fast and not complicated. We have found that there is no charge for setting up unlimited products and no charge to Affiliates; this opens the opportunity for you to have more people selling your services.

JVZoo only charges a 5% commission on all completed sales. There is an additional 2.5% fee for sales made through the Automated Webinar platform.

If you are new to this type of business or if you’ve been for quite a long time, this company does a big effort to keep you informed and educated.  A complete knowledgebase on the site, self-explanatory videos, and many more options.

When you get to the Product Library you may see a lot of products and categories from where Affiliates can choose from.

Recently was added by Inc. Magazine for the second time, to the “5.000 Fastest Growing Private Companies in America” list (Ranking 3735, with 3rd year growth of 80%). This is a  company that is growing bigger each year. Good for the business…

Other options

As a seller there are many options to choose from, we would add more reviews in the future. Which one would you like?
