Highest Paying Affiliate Programs
The highest paying affiliate programs online, in terms of dollar amount earned per conversion, are primarily related to the finance or travel industries. Finance affiliate programs include credit card offers, ranging from $20 to $120 per approval, student loan offers, and home loan offers. Travel affiliate programs include both flight sales and vacation packages.
Making money from a site or blog in these industries only requires a small readership. Even with an approval rate of .5%, one hundred readers a day can garner more than $1500 a month from credit card applications.
Our advice is to focus your blog or site on a niche within the finance or travel industry. For example, low interest college student credit cards or summer vacation packages. Here are some examples of affiliate programs within each high paying industry.

Wow, I had no idea that they could garner that much income. Thanks for the tip.
Remember, just because an affiliate pays out well, it does not necessarily mean that is the one to for. I make more money off lower paying affiliates that easier conditions for payment.
very good information, keep it up.
Have a nice day.
I really appreciate and thanks for your kindly information for the affiliate programs that very usefull information for me to reach my target, hope that the site such as your site can survive and success with giving the great information and communication for the other…
I’m just getting started in the Affiliate programs world. Had some small success promoting stuff on facebook and am trying to branch out some.
Hadn’t seen most of what you posted so it’s definitely helpful. Thanks.
Good source of passive income. Thanks for the information.
Apparently I’ve been in the wrong business all along! $1500 a month for such low readership? Geeze.
Thanks for the tips.
Thumbplay is a good tip. Thanks.
Those are all decent sites but I’ve found that the key is building traffic to your site. If you have decent traffic you can make money with almost any program.
I have tried to find a program like thumbplay for a long time. Thanks for your sharing.
Amazon is not as good as others, in my experience. too low commission, too late payout.
I have had great experiences with Performics and NCS Reporting on student credit card application referrals.
Have you had any success with these?
Hey, I see your site survived the “dreaded Google PageRank update” (insert ominous voice) unscathed. Congratulations

I agree with “Discount Codes”. Just because something has a high payout, that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to compete and get a good ROI. I’ve often found the lower payout offers end up doing better in the long run because there’s less competition.
