Glad that I found this post, I really need to work on some of these. I tried to go with Amazon Affiliates and I don't get enough traffic for them to keep me in the program. So disappointing.
Hi Kristen, Amazon have specific requirements which usually locks out many publishers but there are so many other affiliate networks to try out. I like the CPA/CPL networks like Peerfly and AdWork Media They have simple offers like Email submits, Free trials, downloads, that are easy to convert. Succeeding at affiliate marketing takes time, so you have to be patient and work smart otherwise thanks for visiting.
