10 Alternatives to ClickBank





If you've listened to much of my training you'll know that, when it comes to showing you how to find affiliate products to promote, quite often I personally refer to the Clickbank Marketplace. The reason I do this is because ClickBank approves virtually everyone (unless you are from Nigeria or some other country outside their approval zones), and they have an amazing selection of products to promote with high commissions.

The other reasons are: most of the money that I make comes from ClickBank, they are extremely reliable with their on-time payments and I've built up a good relationship with them over the years.

However, in this blog post, I want to share with you a list of other alternatives for you to consider, as I don't want my own bias to prevent you from seeing that there is a whole world of affiliate offers to promote outside of ClickBank.

I think joining all ten of these would be overkill, but billions of dollars in transactions are being made every year through these other networks, and many have fantastic offers that are not available at ClickBank; I have several affiliate millionaire friends who earn the majority of their income outside of ClickBank, and you may find some of these networks very useful to join.
In no particular order, here they are:

Plimus  

Plimus.com

  • Plimus is very similar to ClickBank but with different offers
  • It's very easy to get accepted

Market Health

MarketHealth.com
  • Focuses more on health/well-being based offers
  • Contains mostly physical products
  • It's easy to get accepted

LinkShare

LinkShare.com
  • Easy to get accepted
  • Great Tracking
However Linkshare often has lower commission rates because merchants have to pay a lot for the use of their service and technology. Their payments also often take longer than other networks.

AsSeenOnPC

AsSeenOnPC.com
  • Relatively easy to get accepted but they prefer if you can show an example website
  • Great because they have a lot of physical product offerings with solid payouts, which is good for your newsletter sequence if you are looking for more products to promote in a particular list or on your website.

Commission Junction

CJ.com
  • Easy to get accepted
  • Commission Rates vary wildly - some are good, others are terrible
  • Interface is a little tricky at first, but easy when you've got the hang of it
  • Wide variety of offers - some are really well known
  • Offers product feeds

ShareASale

ShareASale.com
  • Good, ever-growing selection of offers
  • Not as large as Commission Junction but, on average, the commissions are much better
  • Relatively easy to join and to use

NeverBlue

NeverBlueAds.com
  • They prefer intermediate and advanced affiliates to apply here
  • It would be better to set up and promote a ClickBank or other affiliate product first before applying here so you can show an example of your website(s)
  • Make sure you mention you will be sending a lot of PPC traffic (if you will be) as this is a good selling point to get yourself accepted here
  • Has great affiliate managers.

Epic Direct

EpicDirectNework.com
  • Similar to Neverblueads insofar as they prefer intermediate and advanced affiliates.
  • Run regular affiliate contests to spice things up
I haven't used Epic Direct much myself yet but I hear good things about their affiliate managers from other affiliate friends of mine.

Affiliate.com

Affiliate.com
  • Similar to NeverBlueAds insofar as they prefer intermediate and advanced affiliates
  • Some good CPA offers here, but not a huge variety; that said, some affiliates are making a killing off their top few offers

Unique Leads

UniqueLeads.com
  • Prefer intermediate and advanced affiliates
  • Has some great performing offers and is an up and coming affiliate CPA network
There are hundreds more networks than the ones that I've listed above, but they are ones that either I know others are being hugely successful in, or I have met personally with the networks and know of the quality of their organization and offers.
