Finding Affiliate Programs for Back End Sales

Question: Thanks to your ebook Clickin' it Rich, I'm writing my own wonderful "How-To" ebook! Yet, a question arises on how to find the proper affiliate programs, to weave in and out of my ebook. I have spent hours going through Clickbank, trying to find the best programs... is this what it takes? Thanks again Michael for everything!

Answer: Clickbank.com is great for instant downloads like ebooks and software, but there's plenty of public and private affiliate programs out there to choose from.

Usually, I stay away from the big affiliate networks like LinkShare.com and CJ.com. I don't like waiting four to six months to get paid. But it's just a personal thing. You might enjoy working with them.

I prefer the smaller networks like: RegNow.com for software. Kolimbo.com for all sorts of goods. Clickbank.com for ebooks. And there's plenty of private affiliate programs that are industry specific, such as allposters.com and musiciansfriend.com.

The best way to find private affiliate programs, is to search for your keywords and the word affiliate program in quotes. So in other words, load your favorite search engine and type: Your Keyword Phrase "affiliate program" and usually you'll find several to choose from.

And finally, don't forget the CPA affiliate programs, like primaryads.com, filinet.com, revenueloop.com and others, if they fit your business model. I hope this gives you at least a few new places to look. And good luck with your ebook.
