Credit cards are a prime example of this type
of affiliate because everyone uses credit cards
and they will likely stay with credit card
companies for years, making the credit card
company loads of money.
The downside to this type of affiliate is the
competition. There is a lot of money to be made
in these programs, which attracts affiliate
marketers with lots of experience and
resources. Some may even use tactics that you
simply can’t compete with.
Deciding Which Affiliate Program to Join
The affiliate program you choose depends
largely on your niche and level of expertise.
If the primary visitors to your site/channel are
consumers, you’ll probably have the most
success with a program that offers lower
commission but higher volume.
However, if your target audience is more likely
to be businesses, you may have more luck with
a high commission, low volume program.
