Highest Paying Affiliate Programs

Posted in General at 8:00 am by Sam

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.

Finance Affiliate Programs

  • NCS Reporting - NCS Reporting provides access to affiliate programs for major credit cards and other finance products. Reporting is pay-per-click based and pays several dollars per click for targeted traffic.
  • Performics - Performics, which is part of Doubleclick, provides affiliate programs for all major credit cards with payouts ranging from $20 to $100 per credit card approval.
  • Driver Loans - Driver Loans is a lead generation site for auto financing loans. Average payout is $9.60 per lead.
  • Next Student Affiliates - Provides student debt consolidation and loan referrals. Pay outs start at $100 per validated application.

Travel Affiliate Programs

  • Orbitz - The Orbitz affiliate program is managed through LinkShare. Commissions from $5 to $30 can be earned on various travel products.
  • Travelocity - The Travelocity affiliate program is managed through Commission Junction.

The highest paying affiliate programs, in terms of percentage, on the other hand, are mostly digital goods. These include ringtones, wallpaper, music, ebook and software affiliate programs.

Highest Percentage Affiliate Programs

  • Thumbplay - Thumbplay pays out $8 per lead, or 200% of their monthly subscription rate of $3.99.
  • Amazon - The Amazon mp3 program will pay you 10% for digital mp3 sales. When it was first started, the percentage was 20%!

We have created a static page that we will continually update with the highest paying affiliate programs. Our goal is to eventually create a list that ranks affiliate programs by both performance and payouts. If you know of any other well paying affiliate programs please let us know. We welcome your comments and feedback.

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.

Apparently I’ve been in the wrong business all along! $1500 a month for such low readership? Geeze.

Thanks for the tips.

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.

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.

I’ve seen higher rates for thumbplay through azoogleads — must be a different type of conversion or program?

You should try different networks as well with the same offer, some networks don’t track properly.

It just seems like it’s so much easier to monetize via adsense, chitika, etc… you just send the visitor on their way, take your piece of the pie… and the other sites have to worry about converting them!! I’m lazy I guess.

Ringtones were booming in 2006 and 2007 … affiliate marketing them has died down since. Such a sad story.

Thanks for this great plugin! Works fine - only my old PDA doesn’t understand UTF-8 - most blogs are coded like this - so special characters aren’t displayed correctly.

$9.60 for auto loan leads is pretty decent … most of the networks have offers ranging from $8 to $10.

Forgot to add, you might want to look into casino affiliates like Partypoker, Ladbrokes and So on.

Their rates are really good, around $100 per sign up, although this may be a problem for US affiliates as i believe there are strict laws related to gambling there
