List of the 350+ best affiliate programs by category
Commission rate, cookie duration, network and payout threshold for every program — checked by hand. Browse by what you create about, or by how you want to get paid.
Affiliate marketing is one of the few ways to earn from an audience without building a product first. The hard part is not finding programs — it is finding the ones that actually pay, do not change their terms without telling you, and accept the kind of traffic you have.
Every program below lists the four things that decide whether it is worth your time: what it pays, how long the cookie lasts, which network it runs on, and how much you have to earn before you see any of it.
Disclosure: We are an affiliate for some — not all — of the programs listed here, and each one says which. Being an affiliate never decides whether a program is listed or how it ranks. Learn more.
