Where can I find affiliate products?

One of the most common questions new affiliate marketers ask is, where is the best place to find affiliate products? And the short answer to that question is… everywhere. Thanks for visiting!

No, really—it all depends on what market niche you are promoting or have expertise in.

Over the years, I’ve had success with Amazon and ClickBank, along with a few privately run affiliate programs. I currently belong to several programs, but my list is tailored to the specific niches I’m involved with. Your list will likely look different depending on what you want to achieve and who your audience is.

For the record, even though I’m an Amazon affiliate, their commission structure isn’t what it used to be. With short 24-hour cookies and lower percentage payouts, you need a high volume of traffic to make it your full-time income. However, their conversion rates are unbeatable.

The affiliate marketing world has evolved massively over the last decade. Older platforms have rebranded, merged, or been replaced by highly advanced “partnership clouds.” Furthermore, with the rise of social media commerce (like TikTok Shop and Instagram) and Google’s strict E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) guidelines, you can no longer just drop a link and hope for the best. You need to promote high-quality products that you truly stand behind.

To give you an idea of where to begin your search today, I have compiled an updated list of the top 10 affiliate network sites:

Rakuten Advertising (rakutenadvertising.com)

Formerly known as Rakuten LinkShare, this is a premium network offering full-service online marketing solutions. They are the network of choice for massive, high-tier brands like Sephora, New Balance, and Best Buy. Rakuten is known for high-quality tracking and a heavily “vetted” publisher pool. If you are an influencer or blogger in the fashion, lifestyle, or high-end retail niches, this is a must-join.

CJ (cj.com)

Formerly Commission Junction, CJ is one of the oldest and largest networks globally. They have heavily modernized their platform to help content creators get auto-approved for big brands through their “Content Certified” programs. They help advertisers acquire new customers while helping publishers generate consistent revenue. Best for experienced marketers who want access to massive corporate brands (like Bluehost, Priceline, or Office Depot) and detailed analytics.

Impact.com (impact.com)

Impact has quickly overtaken many older networks in popularity due to its highly advanced “Partnership Cloud” technology. It is the platform of choice for modern tech and direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands like Canva, Shopify, Adidas, and Airbnb. It offers a very clean user interface and flexible “contracts” that older networks lack. Highly recommended for modern digital marketers.

ShareASale (shareasale.com)

With over two decades of experience, ShareASale remains a powerhouse, even after being acquired by the Awin Group. It remains the “go-to” network for small-to-medium-sized merchants. They have a massive variety of niches, from gardening tools to high-tech gadgets, and a reputation for being incredibly fair, honest, and reliable. It is arguably the most beginner-friendly network on this list.

Awin (awin.com)

Formerly Affiliate Window, Awin is now a global performance marketing powerhouse. They are led by a commitment to openness, responsibility, and innovation. After acquiring networks like ShareASale, their reach is massive. If you have traffic from the UK, the broader European Union, and the US, Awin is an essential network for growing your global online business.

Amazon Associates (affiliate-program.amazon.com)

Amazon is still the industry entry point for many vendors and publishers. While commissions are lower than they were a decade ago (often hovering between 1% and 4%), it is still the world’s largest program. The main draw here is the “Halo Effect”—because of that 24-hour cookie, you get paid for anything the user buys after clicking your link, not just the product you originally promoted.

ClickBank (clickbank.com)

ClickBank was once the undisputed king of digital products and eBooks. Today, they have pivoted heavily toward high-converting physical products, specifically in the health, wellness, and supplement niches. Their affiliate program is still devoted to providing digital marketers with massive payouts—often offering 50% to 75% commissions. It is incredibly popular with marketers who use paid traffic and entry-level merchants.

PartnerStack (partnerstack.com)

In the modern affiliate world, B2B (business-to-business) and SaaS (Software as a Service) are where the big money is. PartnerStack specializes entirely in software affiliate programs (like Monday.com, Evernote, and Webflow). The best part? SaaS programs often pay recurring commissions, meaning you get paid every single month that the customer you referred stays subscribed.

eBay Partner Network (partnernetwork.ebay.com)

You can earn a great income in the eBay Partner Network (EPN) by driving high-quality traffic to eBay. eBay is unique because you can find items that are sold out everywhere else. It is absolutely perfect for hobbyists, collectors, and those in the tech-repair or vintage niches. Their modern tools make creating trackable links directly from your browser incredibly easy.

Digistore24 (digistore24.com)

Digistore24 is a massive modern competitor to ClickBank. Originally a German-based platform, it has completely exploded in the US market. It is highly user-friendly and specializes in digital products, software, and supplements. They offer automated “upsell” funnels that can significantly increase your average earnings per click..

A Quick Word of Advice

The above list of places to find affiliate products only scratches the surface. There are countless private networks and individual brand programs out there that will meet your potential customer’s needs.

Just take your time when deciding. Above all, don’t over-do-it by signing up for too many programs at once, especially if you are just starting out. Focus on one or two networks, find products you can personally vouch for, and build your content around them.
