Top 4 Affiliate Marketing Companies

4. eBay
eBay has been the most popular auction site for a decade, and continues to dominate in the online world. What most people do not know, however, is that eBay also has a very popular affiliates program. Because eBay relies on affiliates to bring in new bidders and sellers, they pay affiliates pretty well. eBay is a free service, which means that you won't have to sell people a product, per say, but you will want to get them to sign up and bid. If you do that, you'll get a commission, and with how many people have yet to sign up for eBay, this could turn out to be big money for you.

3. Amazon
The other big shopping site on the internet is of course Amazon. Amazon sells thousands of different products, most of which are cheaper than on many other sites or in stores. Amazon's affiliate program is different than eBay's in that the goal is to get someone to actually buy an Amazon product. With commissions that range from 10-20%, you can make a lot of money promoting products for Amazon, which is why it's a good idea to at least consider this affiliate marketing company.

2. Commission Junction
If you're looking for the big money in affiliate marketing, you've found it. Commission Junction is an affiliate marketing company that allows you to market and "sell" some of the most popular products around-products such as LCD tvs, high end stereo products and much more. The commissions for this company are great, but since you are selling expensive products, you probably will not get as many sales as with eBay or Amazon. CJ might not be the best choice for a beginner, but it's worth considering at some point.

1. ClickBank
The top affiliate marketing company by far is ClickBank. Unlike CJ, ClickBank allows you to promote digital products that are modestly priced. And the commissions-which are usually 50% or more of the sale price-are really good. You can easily make $27-$35 per commission, so if you sell just three products a day, you'll be making over $100. ClickBank is also extremely accessible to beginners, so if you're new to this, you'll be able to learn from CB experts on how you can successfully market products. While you can't make as much money per sale as on CJ, these commissions do add up, so it's certainly a program worth considering.
