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.

Thumbplay is a good tip. Thanks.
Wow, I had no idea that they could garner that much income. Thanks for the tip.
very good information, keep it up.
Have a nice day.
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.
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.
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.
these sites are pretty decent , thumbplay is pretty darn good, although i am not so much a fan of amazon.
A nice channels to monetize:)
NCS Reporting is a great one!
This is an interesting article. Thanks for the info.
This is all great information, looking forward to more posts.

Shareasale affiliate program is also good.
