Many people know and understand that affiliate programs can earn hundreds of thousands, and some even millions of net rubles per month.

But how to find the best affiliate program among such a mass of offers, with which you can work for more than one year and be 100% sure that you will not be scammed and disappear with your money?

In my many years of practice, hundreds of such affiliate programs have disappeared. Let's see what is currently on this market and with whom you can work with a future perspective.

Criteria for evaluating affiliate programs

Before choosing an affiliate program, I always first look at reviews, age and themselves (products or services) that are on the network for promotion. Most affiliate programs work according to the model and we will consider them.

For example, you heard about an affiliate program and decided to start working with it. Do not be lazy, go to the major forums and see other people's reviews. Do they pay out on time? How long have they been on the market? Do they have the right tools? Is the support (support) responsive?

And so, No. 1 among all affiliate programs in the Russian-speaking market is admitad.

1. admitad

Just look at the daily earnings of a webmaster or one team. This is more than 5,000,000 rubles per day! I took this screenshot in December 2019.

Daily earnings in affiliate program.

admitad.com has all the necessary tools for work. This includes detailed statistics and a deeplink generator, integration with Yandex Direct and Google Adwords, and much more to facilitate routine tasks for a webmaster.

How to start working with admitad

First, register as a webmaster. Then you will need to create a platform. The platform can be your thematic site and a VKontakte group, or a YouTube channel.

After that, wait for the site to be checked and you can start connecting the offers that interest you to earn money.

How can I earn with admitad

Let's give some examples of how you can earn on this affiliate program. Now there is a boom in goods from China from stores such as AliExpress.com, GearBest.com, etc.

So, webmasters make traffic platforms specifically for such stores. It can be a simple group on VKontakte, where inexpensive and interesting goods are posted.

Pay attention to the number of subscribers. If these groups, then it is profitable. Although, as far as I know, this method has already begun to bring less money.

The next way is YouTube channels with so-called unpackings. This method is not suitable for everyone, since not everyone wants to shoot themselves and upload videos to the network.

Another way that I consider the most interesting and promising is the creation of sites with reviews and reviews.

The trick of such sites is not to make reviews yourself, but to encourage people to write these same reviews. That is, suppose a person ordered something from China and made a detailed review of it with photos and posted it on your website for a small amount of money.

You can motivate them with a little money and bonuses. Attracting such people will not be easy, but content can be produced on an industrial scale.

Accordingly, it will be calculated in millions of visitors per month. An affiliate link is inserted into these reviews. I will not “burn” the site, but I will give statistics on one such resource.

Reviews can be done not only on Chinese goods, but also on appliances, furniture, etc. I think you understand the idea, if not, then ask questions below in the comments.

2.Actionpay

This affiliate program is the undisputed leader in affiliate marketing. For more than 8 years actionpay.net has been successfully operating in this market. After registration, you will have access to more than 1,000 offers for advertising with a very wide GEO. Look at the TOP best webmasters in this affiliate program.

If you know how to work with traffic, then be sure to join the most expensive competition in the history of the Russian CPA market. Contact your manager and ask to connect you to the “pirate marathon”.

Among dozens of different prizes, you can also get the main prize - a Mercedes-Maybach.

Of course, you can object that it is useless to fight for the main prize, since the competition for it is fierce. But the main difference between this competition and others is that maybach is not alone.

There is no winner as such. I accumulated points, for example, I took a Sony PS4 or MacBook Pro game console. If you are a cool webmaster, then you can take a car for these points, the number of prizes is not limited. Prizes and conditions can be found here pirates.pub.

How can you make money with actionpay

Basically, webmasters specializing in . And, as a rule, they arbitrate with Facebook. This social network is good for advertising because it is very easy to scale to different countries.

But there are some peculiarities here. If the offer is “gray”, then the ban is inevitable. To understand how everything works here, it is better to start with “white” goods, for which there will be no questions.

“Gray” products include, for example, various weight loss products, “healing” creams, etc. If you want to work with mobile traffic, then here you will find a large selection of mobile offers.

3.M1 Shop

This affiliate program is more positioned as "". Here, too, there are various means for beauty and youth, but the main emphasis is on products.

Of course, there are many questions about the quality of the goods themselves. As a rule, these are ordinary Chinese goods that are sold at a premium of hundreds of percent.

The Internet is full of negative reviews for all this “trash”. Many people receive something completely different from what they ordered. In general, as I said above, there are big questions about the goods.

The m1-shop.ru affiliate program itself is reliable and there are no complaints about it. And whether or not to sell such goods is up to you.

How can I earn with m1-shop

Watches, binoculars, corsets, everything, you probably came across this in various social networks, mainly on VKontakte.

So, go to the affiliate program, choose the offer you want to sell from the “best products” section, and start buying traffic from thematic publics for it. For this, VK has an excellent tool called “Market - Platform”.

Also, if you have your own group or public, you can place such products directly on your site. Earnings will depend entirely on the number of subscribers and the topics of the community.

Watches sell well on Instagram, but you have to be careful there. Facebook does not like different replicas and bans for it.

4. CTR

This affiliate program specializes in its own production of wow products for beauty and health. These guys know a lot about packaging. All their author's offers have a unique and colorful design.

As you know, the right packaging is 50% success! Many affiliate programs stupidly copy their promotional materials. There has been a lot of noise because of this.

Health and beauty products are in great demand. Big money is made on such goods. If you know how to work with such traffic, then you can safely choose ctr.ru as a reliable partner.

For these products, traffic from Facebook and Instagram is well suited. There are no secrets, you need to test a lot to achieve a positive result.

Some creative humor from the guys from ctr.

5.ad-x

Now I want to introduce you to another interesting affiliate program ad-x. It has not been on the market for so long, but behind it are people with a good reputation.

This affiliate program pays for actions for subscribers, mainly for the infobusiness. Now there is a boom in various training courses, especially in the topic of bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general.

Accordingly, a whole bunch of courses on these topics have appeared. Many people no longer need to explain in detail what it is. Just invite them to a free webinar. And for each such simple registration you will be paid from 50 to 80 rubles.

I believe that beginners should start learning how to work with such affiliate programs. Since here money is earned on volumes. You can make more than one thousand such registrations per day.

How can you make money with ad-x

You can still earn on the same traffic arbitration in VK. You choose an information product, find suitable communities for it and buy mass advertising there. Such offers come in well through various email newsletters.

Alternatively, you can fill it with thematic content, for example, about the news of the cryptocurrency market and place your ads in it.

6. LetyShops

Another trend of the last two or three years is cashback services. People are used to buying online and they like to receive not only discounts from the stores themselves, but also a small refund on these purchases. It's a double discount.

It is very profitable for people, which means that it will be much easier to make money on it.

Firstly, you yourself can buy any goods through this service and return some of the money back. Secondly, you can earn on an affiliate program. Complete a simple registration and you can start using the service.

How you can earn with LetyShops

The easiest way is to convince all your friends to buy through this service. I have already said that any person will be pleased to receive money from purchases. The more purchases, the higher the return rate.

You are advising your people to benefit, which means it is foolish to refuse such an offer. Your referrals will start buying, and you will receive money for it. It benefits everyone!

The second way is to attract people from your resources. Websites, YouTube channels, etc. For example, you have a review on some gadget. In this review, you insert a link where you can buy this very gadget, and say: if you buy through this service, then a cashback of 5% will be returned to your account. You don’t even need to sell anything here, everyone loves discounts!

Conclusion

Of course, there are other worthy affiliate programs, but they all look alike. I still recommend working with trusted ones. The above list of affiliate programs guarantees you a stable income with reliable partners. This is very important in this business!

We reviewed affiliate programs in different niches:
1. Internet shops
2. Mobile offers
3. Chinese goods
4. Products for beauty and health
5. Infobusiness
6. Cashback

Today, casinos, various options, etc. remained behind the scenes. These niches are profitable, but very competitive and not entirely legal. You cannot buy traffic to these affiliate programs in large advertising networks, you have to be smart in every possible way. Beginners should not “get in” here.

What partners do you work with and why? Share in the comments, please!

Best regards, Sergei.

CPA affiliate programs

Dear readers of the VNetwork project, today I would like to touch on such a topic as making money on the Internet on CPA affiliate programs. This type of earnings appeared relatively recently, but has already gained immense popularity. In our article, I would like to discuss this type of earnings in detail and answer the frequently asked questions of beginners. Earnings on CPA networks, with the right approach, can bring a good profit, but often many users make a number of mistakes in which you can go into the red and waste your money. We will talk about what CPA networks are, what affiliate programs (offers) exist in this article.

SRA - what is it?

I would like to start with the definition of this concept. After all, many pass by this earnings, not even understanding what's what. Let's give a definition and try to understand the basic terms that you need to learn if you decide to start your path to making money in this area.

SRA ( Cost per Action ) - translated from English as payment for action. You can also sometimes find the expression PPA ( pay per action ) - This is the same. From the definition, it becomes clear that you will receive payment for certain user actions. Yes, you heard right in this type of earnings, it does not matter how many clicks will be made on the advertising banner and how long the user will spend on the advertised site. Here, your earnings will depend on whether the user performs certain actions on the advertiser's site. If you want to make money by displaying commercial ads or making money by clicking on advertising banners, then you should pay attention to earnings on teaser advertising. In our case, you still have to try to convert traffic into various actions.

CPA network - a special Internet site, which was created for an easier search for users and advertising companies. Each CPA network presents users with a list of offers that are available for connection, subject to the rules of the system. Simply put, a CPA network is a directory of affiliate programs that are collected in one place. Here you can choose a suitable offer (offers) and start earning on it by advertising it.

Affiliate programs in CPA

It is also worth deciding on the concept of an affiliate program, otherwise they are called offers. In this case, it has nothing to do with referrals, etc. Affiliate program (Offer) in CPA is a program that enters into an agreement with the user and provides him with the opportunity to drive traffic to his site and pay for active user actions. Simply put, you will be given a link (banner) that you need to place on your site, in the VK group, create an advertisement, and if the user who clicks on this link performs the necessary actions on the advertised site, you will receive payment.

Here is a graphical example of a user action. You have decided to join an affiliate program that pays for registrations on your site. You have placed an advertising banner on your site.

Now the user who clicks on the banner and registers on the site will bring you the income specified in this affiliate program. If the user simply clicked on the banner, but did not register, then such an action will not be paid.

Depending on the chosen affiliate program, you will be paid for various user actions on the advertised site:

- Registration on the project

Buying a product

- Completed application

- Application installation

- Filling out a questionnaire and much more.

With this, you can connect to a number of affiliate programs with different options. All affiliate programs in CPA networks provide two payment options for actions:

CPL (Cost per Lead) ) - in translation means payment for the action (lead). Each affiliate program has its own terms and conditions. Some pay just for registration, and some require the user to be active on the site (fill out a form, upload a photo, play the game for several days, etc.)

CPS (Cost per Sales ) - in translation means payment for the purchase. This type of payment is used by online stores and sites offering various online services (travel agencies, hosting providers, etc.). In this case, you will receive payment for the purchase by the user of certain goods on the site, the design of the tour, etc.

Each affiliate program in CPA networks has its own specific conditions that will be presented to the user. Before you connect to the program, you need to read all these conditions, because if you do not comply with them, you will not receive payment. Basically, these conditions can be divided into several categories:

Geotargeting. Each affiliate program specifies the traffic sources that are allowed. Basically, the division is based on the country of residence of the user who clicked on the advertising banner (advertising link). One program can only accept traffic from Russia, while the other can pay for traffic from the CIS.

- Traffic sources. You should also familiarize yourself with the traffic sources that are allowed in the affiliate program. Some allow you to link anywhere, but others have specific sources that are allowed. One affiliate program only allows its ads to appear on social media. networks, the other only on thematic sites.

- Use of stop words. Many affiliate programs prohibit the use of certain words in their product advertisements. For example, you are going to advertise products from an online store Ozone . But the affiliate program prohibits the use of the words in ads: ozone, Ozon, ozon.ru.

At the same time, each affiliate program has a list of rules that you will need to follow. All CPA networks provide an opportunity to get acquainted with them, and when you connect a certain program, you agree to comply with them. If you violate these rules, the system may apply various sanctions to you: from denial of payments to the complete blocking of your account.

Many will be interested to learn about how CPA networks work. Any CPA network serves as a kind of intermediary between the advertiser and users. For a clearer explanation, we present a small figure.

The figure shows that the CPA network directly connects advertisers and ordinary users. The advertiser pays the funds to the CPA network, and it, in turn, pays them to users, taking a certain percentage for itself.

Basic terms in CPA

We hope that you have a little understanding of the concept of CPA networks, in future articles we will describe in detail the options for making money on them and give specific examples. Well, in conclusion, I would like to provide a list of the main terms that are used in CPA networks.

eCPC- average earnings in the affiliate program from one click on an advertising link. Calculated in monetary terms. For example, eCPC \u003d 2.5 rubles - this means that on average, for each click on an advertising banner, users receive 2.5 rubles.

CRis the average ratio of actions to transitions. That is, what percentage of those who clicked on an advertising link perform the actions necessary for payment.

Post click cookie- cookie lifetime. The time after which the action of the user who clicked on the advertising link will be paid.

Sub ID- a tool that allows you to assign a specific number to an advertising link. You can create multiple promotional links and see which one performs better.

Offer - an affiliate program that provides the user with advertising materials and pays for the actions of users who follow the link specified in the conditions.

Hold - the time after which the payment will be credited to your account. Used by affiliate programs to avoid cheating. For example, you placed an advertisement for an online store, and someone clicked on it and made a purchase. The affiliate program must pay you 10% of the purchase price, but the buyer can refuse the goods, so the money will be temporarily frozen and will be credited to your account after a certain period of time. This gap will be called - Hold.

You should always know what your competitors are doing. How much they pay for an order to webmasters, what tools they have for CPA networks, and so on. Your offer must be at least as good as that of your competitors, otherwise webmasters will not work with you and will quickly switch to those projects that are more profitable to work with.

2. Automate order status checks

In the CPA network, it is necessary to transmit information about the redemption of orders so that webmasters can receive their money. It is very important to do this very quickly. Imagine a webmaster brought an order to you on January 2nd. Then he waits for reconciliation.

If the reconciliation is done by hand, then the manager needs to verify 3-10 CPA networks. This takes a lot of time, because for this it is necessary to upload statistics from Google Analytics, internal CRM, payment information, for example, from 1C, and so on.

Each network is a separate file. Most often, such work is carried out only once a month, since it is quite laborious. In total, the webmaster will receive an order confirmation only in February. Then the CPA network will issue an invoice for February only in March. And as a result, the webmaster will receive a payment only in March, already completely forgetting that he generally gave traffic to your Internet project.

Therefore, if you want webmasters who try to work with your offer to stay with you, take care to do auto-verification.

It can be argued that manual reconciliation gives more control. However, in any CPA network there is a concept of hold - the time that is given to cancel the order confirmation if it happened by mistake. Therefore, it will be enough for the manager to keep his finger on the pulse, and not to do a million monotonous actions manually.

Another objection is the lack of developer resources. If there are many CPA networks, then you need to set up your own integration for each. This can really be a problem on large projects, so in this case it is easier to do the integration once with the agency, and then the agency itself will do the integration with all CPA networks.

3. Use CPA Network Retargeting

Even if you buy retargeting in and out on your own, do not miss the opportunity to use full-fledged RTB systems. Working with them through CPA networks, you do not risk overpaying, since such systems work at a common rate. And in practice, this does not prevent such players as Criteo, Sociomantic, Soloway, if you buy retargeting from them.

Of course, the systems that advertise you on RTB spend money on buying ads - and comparable to what you pay for this channel. If your rate in the CPA network is many times lower than what you can pay for the order yourself, then don't expect that webmasters from the CPA network will magically do it. You can make a separate bet on retargeting and let only trusted partners into it.

So, we have analyzed the basic rules for working with CPA networks, although there are countless nuances. If you want to have a lot of orders in this channel, as you can see, just manually checking orders once a month is absolutely not enough. Maintaining CPA networks is not just reconciliations or even automatic reconciliations, but also a lot of work, which is largely built on relationships with CPA networks and specific webmasters.

Such work is unlikely to be performed by one CPA manager within the organization without strong technical assistance and rich expertise, so I would recommend that even if you have a dedicated CPA manager, contact an agency that specializes in maintaining CPA networks. In this case, the manager will perform strategic rather than routine tasks: think over special conditions for different types of traffic, inform about upcoming promotions, manage the advertiser’s CPA channel and inform the agency about all insiders, collect internal analytics about what is best for focus on CPA networks.

Good luck with your work with CPA networks and look forward to the next material!

If you "wander" on the Internet, you can find many new and not always clear words. Among them is the English abbreviation of the CPA network or affiliate program. Everyone who is engaged in making money online or is just getting on this track knows it for sure. CPA networks - what is it and how to work with it?

What are CPA networks?

In short, this is a kind of exchange, system, or, more simply, an intermediary between the advertiser and the person who is able to bring customers. Most often, this is an online store and a site owner with a large number of visitors.

• products;
• promotional offers;
• "fresh" discount coupons;
• information about the big sale.

CPA affiliate networks contain information about a huge number of products in various areas that need to be sold. Thanks to such an exchange, you do not need to look for the owner of the store, try to contact him and build relationships. Everything is open source and automated as much as possible.

How it works?

And yet, CPA networks - what are they and how to work with them? In the vast majority, the system pays for certain actions on the part of the client. It can be:

• registration on the site;
• ordering goods;
• his payment;
• call to a specific number;
• installing a program or application;
• following a specific link.

The task of a person who wants to earn money is to “force” the visitor to do the specified action. If this happens, the system will pay a percentage of the cost or a set commission. The list of CPA networks is quite large, and each has its own percentages and established rules.

For example, in some, 30% of the cost of the goods is paid, in others, a fixed amount for registering or installing a product. Before starting your activity in this direction, you should familiarize yourself with all the conditions and nuances of each exchange separately.

Basic concepts

The first thing a beginner will encounter is just a huge number of terms and concepts. All professionals communicate in a certain language. In order to ask a question and understand the answer to it, you need to understand what it is all about.

Traffic. A certain number of visitors or a stream, or a mass. There is also the concept of “drive traffic”, which means directing visitors and potential customers to some address, mainly to another site.

Arbitration. This concept was introduced by CPA networks, what is it? The process of "acquiring" a certain number of visitors to one site and redirecting them to another for profit.

Lead. This is the name of the person who clicked on the link and performed a certain action.

Cold time. In connection with the “winding up” of leads by some dishonest comrades, a verification time has been introduced in the system. Violation of the rules of the exchange can lead to the fact that the payment will not be made, and especially distinguished ones will be blacklisted and will not be able to cooperate at all.

Profit. Translated from English means earnings, profit.

Offer. Affiliate program or offer to earn.

CPA as a type of business

The best CPA networks provide an opportunity to earn for all participants. On the one hand, the customer receives a profit from the sale of a product or service, on the other hand, the contractor receives his percentage for attracting, and on the third, the exchange, which takes its “modest” commission.

Many people, having tried this type of earnings, left offline work and completely switched to CPA affiliate programs. To be successful, you need to have at least one of two things:

• Own website with a large number of visitors.
• The ability to create high converting advertisements.

The first method is more popular. It requires less time and effort, but the return can not be obtained immediately. The second allows you to get almost instant results. But you need to have creativity and bright marketing skills.

Traffic for CPA

The main task of the performer is to attract as much traffic as possible, and even better, that these are people who are interested in the proposed product. There are a lot of both paid and free methods, but they all have their advantages and disadvantages.

1) Own site. It can be a group in a social network or a personal site. On the one hand, the creation of such a platform requires certain knowledge and a lot of time at the beginning. On the other hand, after creation and promotion, it begins to generate passive income with minimal participation of the creator.

2) Announcements on free resources. There are a lot of sites, forums and news portals in the network that are ready to place an ad for free or almost free of charge. The good news is that there are a lot of such resources. Minus - a lot of manual work without a guarantee of results.

3)Banner. If you place an attractive or intriguing banner where there are many potential customers, then this can give an amazing effect. You can, of course, directly contact the owners of Internet resources, but it is better to register in special exchanges. This will save you a lot of time and nerves.

4) Teasers. The obvious advantage is a large amount of traffic. Disadvantage - not suitable for all offers. It is better to use for "female" products. You also need to know a lot of subtleties and rules of teaser advertising.

6) Social media. Given the popularity of social media, it would be extremely unwise to miss out on this place. The main thing is to interest users and offer a really worthwhile product. The rest they will do on their own. There are special organizations that offer services to promote a group or a certain product at once.

Rating of the best CPA networks

Beginners often ask the question: "CPA networks - what is it, and which affiliate programs are better?". If you read the descriptions of each system, then they all praise themselves and tell what riches you can earn with them. It turns out, however, that this is not always true. To learn more about CPA networks, the ranking of the best is presented below.

Admitad- a fairly large affiliate program, in which you can find the goods of many online stores, online games, the services of some banks and travel organizations. Offers great functionality and detailed instructions for both beginners and experienced users.

"Where is the elephant?" - this affiliate network can be safely attributed to one of the best and largest. It can offer a large number of tools for working with the system, including CSV and XML uploads. It also boasts its own plugin for Wordpress (an engine for blogging on the Internet).

ActionPay- the main difference of this CPA-network, the rating of which does not lag behind those already presented, is the presence of its own banking system. Otherwise, this is a good affiliate program offering a huge number of offers.

ActionaAds- offers a very wide range of offers from various fields. Quite often, in this affiliate program you can find very profitable offers that are not found anywhere else.

Foreign CPA networks

In the domestic Internet, this type of cooperation is actively gaining momentum. But foreign CPA networks, whose rating is simply huge, have been making a very good profit for a long time. Among the best and most reliable are:

Affiliatecube. Most webmasters work with this parterka. The range of offers is almost impossible to list all. There are topics for all countries. Despite the English-speaking administration, there is support for Russian-speaking users.

clickbank. The affiliate program, which operates in the CIS, offers foreign goods at "delicious" prices. The only nuance is the payment of earned funds. It is carried out either by check to the address, or to a card that will meet certain requirements.

paydaymansion. The main and only niche of this network is the conversion of financial traffic. The system specializes in small loans that are very easy to obtain. Today it is quite a profitable niche and a promising direction.

Peculiarities of work on foreign CPA

In addition to well-established work and proven mechanisms, foreign affiliate programs work with English, which has long become an international language. Almost all affiliate programs that work today have an impeccable reputation and reliability.

Some advantages of working with overseas CPAs:

• the audience is several times larger than the domestic one;
• the system offers thousands of really profitable offers;
• profit figures are approximately equal to Russian ones, only the currency is dollars;
• hundreds of job offers.

The Future of CPA Networks

Existing CPA networks offer a very promising opportunity to make money on goods and services that do not even need to be produced. If you look at the latest statistics, the growth rate is increasing every year.

This allows us to assert that affiliate programs of this kind will only grow and develop, which means that by cooperating with them you can earn very good money. If you start now, then you can still occupy a free niche, after which it will be extremely problematic.
