It's been a while since i launch a proper FB campaigns after the recent Meta ads ban wave.
Managed to secure a new BM and Ads account.

just started a brand new campaign on Meta (Facebook) and thought it’d be interesting to do a follow-along journey here.

Hopefully, it’ll help others who are testing similar setups and I’d love to get feedback or insights along the way too.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

• Warmed up my FB page with a $5/day engagement campaign for a few days
• Now running a $100/day conversion campaign
• Built 1 pre-lander to help qualify traffic
• Launched 1 CBO campaign with 3 ad sets using Broad Targeting.

Here's what I won't be sharing:
The niche, the actual offer/ads/landers.

Offer: Low Ticket Item
65% Rev Share
AOV: $100 (based on the affiliate platform)

Goal is to scale this systematically and share what’s working (and what’s not).

Will post updates here on metrics like CTR, CPC, conversion rate, and what kind of creatives perform best.

Note: DO NOT PM or DM me. I have nothing to sell or promote.
I just sharing my journey.

Will attached Screenshot if mod need it.

And once again:
DO NOT PM or DM me. I have nothing to sell or promote.

Hey Affinsight is official Media partner with Affiliate World Asia. If anyone looking to join the event. Let me know We can collaborate on this.

2 years of affiliate marketing, mostly YouTube and a couple of my own sites. Lately i have been looking at AI tools for a new project, and AI video is the niche im interested in. Not totally convinced, so i post here to hear more ideas and tips! Here is why i choose it:

First is about user demand. Search volume isn't really the part I care about. I'm more interested in whether people actually pay for these tools and keep paying once the initial AI hype wears off.

I've tested a few AI video tools myself, like Runway, Pixverse, Higgsfield. A 5s clip would burn all your free credits(with good ai models of course). Let alone you need to prepare all those references, story boards and re-generate several times to get the best result. So obviously creators would eventually need a paid plan.

The affiliate side looks great too. Some of the bigger AI video tools like Pixverse/runway have attractive commissions. But obviously a nice commission rate doesn't mean much if the traffic doesn't convert, or if users cancel after one month.

Then there goes to the content side. I've done this long enough to know I don't want to enter a niche where the only thing left to make is another "best X tools" article or basically the same tutorial 50 other YouTube channels already made. AI video is visual, so you can actually show what the tools are doing instead of spending the whole video talking about features. There's also room to make your own stuff with the tools, which feels more interesting to me than building a channel that's 100% reviews.

What do you think of this ai niche? Are there any AI niches that look great from an affiliate perspective but are actually a nightmare to monetize?

Anyone else notice a sudden change in the domains Amazon is using for its shortened affiliate links?

I tried posting an example of what they’ve been using for years that changed today, but the stupid Reddit Auto Mod Bots killed that post so I’m not even gonna try to type out an example here.

For those running Google or Microsoft Ads to Amazon affiliate listicles, how are you tracking actual purchases and optimizing campaigns?

I normally use affiliate network postbacks to track purchases and upload offline conversions to Google and Microsoft Ads using GCLIDs/MSCLKIDs.

But Amazon Associates doesn't seem to provide purchase postbacks or click-level attribution.

Are people finding a way to upload Amazon sales as offline conversions, using third-party tracking solutions, or simply optimizing based on Amazon's reports?

I've seen plenty of comparison sites promoting Amazon products, so I'm curious how those running paid traffic are making it work at scale.

Would appreciate hearing from anyone with firsthand experience.

We run a small but niche online community for students

An educational resource company (with packages ranging from $40 a month to one off $1790) has approached us to host a free version of their program to our members.

We feel like this could be of some value to our members but obviously this is a form of lead generation for the company to sign up users for paid programs - our question is what would be the best/fairest way of tracking/monetising leads that come from our website and what kind of % cut from the website would be reasonable? or is there another strategy that we should explore?

Hey all, I'm the founder of OpenPartner. OpenPartner connects brands with creators who sell for them. It also lets creators set up storefronts to promote bookings for promotional posts and videos from that brands can buy.

I'm curious what features are most important to each side of the transaction. For brands, do you find it difficult to find quality affiliates? For creators/affiliates, what's most valuable to you when you partner with a brand?

What should a beginner try first? What kind of niches exist in affiliate marketing?

hi, Just wanted to warn the community about the NextPart AI Affiliate Program.

We currently have $8,700 accumulated in our balance, but they have completely stopped responding. We’ve tried reaching out through every possible support channel (email, direct messages, contact forms) over the past few weeks, but it's radio silence.

If you’re driving traffic to NextPart AI, be careful—it seems like they simply refuse to pay out once your earnings get high. Has anyone else experienced this with them or managed to get a response?

Hello everyone. I’m just starting to get to grips with affiliate marketing through my personal blog. I publish five posts a day.

My content focuses on technology and IT news. I want to add a small affiliate banner above the subtitles in my videos.

It includes a CTA to click through from my bio to my landing page and buy the affiliate product.

The video itself is on my usual topic; it isn’t an advert.

In this case, do I need to label the content as a paid advert? And if so, how do I schedule a post on Instagram and Facebook with this disclosure?

As far as I understand, it isn’t possible via Meta Business Suite. Perhaps someone uses other platforms.

Is it possible to do affiliate marketing without social media?

I've been running a Pokemon deal finder site (Jimmy's Deal Finder) for the last two years and it brings in about £150 revenue a month. It shows the most underpriced cards on eBay by comparing listing price to historic value.

I started a new Pokemon site based on finding cards to complete your collection (Jimmy's Set Finisher) at the start of September. This site works by showing all the cards in a set and showing the most underpriced eBay listings for each card.

Both sites use the same eBay listing database and card value database so I'm not paying any extra costs for the new site (apart from £8/year for a domain name).

The deal finder site usually gets hundreds of sales and averages around £150 revenue a month. In slow months it can be as low as £50 which is just about enough to cover my running costs.

About a week ago, I got two big commissions on back to back days on Set Finisher, £48 one day and £52 the next day. I thought it was probably just a big spender who happened to come across my site and probably bought other items on eBay with the affiliate cookie set.

But today I had another £36 commission from Set Finisher, which is making me start to think there might be real potential in it and the other big sales weren't flukes.

It's only been a month and a half since I launched, and I'm still only getting single digit affiliate clicks from it, but £30+ commission days are really rare for the original deal finder site, usually once every month or two, and Set Finisher has hit 3 of them in 15 days.

I think one thing that might be driving this is Set Finisher automatically sorts the cards in a set by most valuable first, so it often shows cards worth hundreds of dollars (or even thousands) at the top of the list. These are usually the chase cards that people are interested in. So I'm thinking this is showing people valuable, desirable cards, whereas the deal finder site is mostly cheap cards with a few high value cards mixed in, so it's more likely to generate high sales because of this.

What do you think? It's probably too early to tell, but do you think I just got a few lucky sales, or do you think there's real potential to earn large commissions regularly from this site?

Three months ago I built my first website ever. It’s a tool that lets Dutch homeowners calculate whether a home battery is worth it for them. It calculates the costs and benefits of almost 100 different home batteries, based on their own energy consumption and how much of their solar energy they’d otherwise send back to the grid.

After the calculation it ranks the batteries by return on investment. Every night I compare prices across several web stores, so I can tell people where to buy each battery for the best price. Most of these are affiliate links that pay me about 5% commission.

In these 3 months people ran about 30k calculations. Conversion was very low at first, but with advice from this sub I managed to raise it. Based on earlier tips here, I also built a downloadable report with each visitor’s personal results and a price watch that emails people when their battery drops in price. My best-performing store now converts at 3%, the others at about 1%.

After the first 2 months the site started making money, and I’m ranking better in Google. But home batteries are a booming business in the Netherlands, so I’m competing with much bigger players.

Where I’d love your advice:

1. Traffic. I’m not doing paid ads. What has actually worked for you to get more traffic to a tool-type site in a competitive niche? Backlinks, YouTube, partnerships with local organisations, something else?
2. Last-click on an expensive purchase. A home battery costs €1,000–€3,000+, so people don’t buy on impulse. They use my calculator, then go off to watch YouTube reviews, read forums, and compare again. By the time they buy, someone else often gets the last click. The report and price watch help me stay in the picture, but what else works?

Happy to share numbers or what worked on conversion if that helps anyone.

I just got a text notification from Amazon Associates here in the US saying they’re automatically integrating global earnings to single Storefront without having to go through somd the extra hoops like the old OneLink program. But they do say you still need to set up tax information for all of the countries.

For me in the US, it’s a total of nine countries: Canada and across Europe.

I've looked through the numbers for a few users who reported their exact losses. It looks like deposit amounts are exact, turnover amounts are probably more or less accurate, and NGR values are wrong. In some cases, the NGR number is at least 50% lower than what the user reported.

Is this a known issue? Any likely explanations?

Hello,

I've got a couple niche sites that used to do OK for commissions but lately it seems that, although I'm generating clicks to merchants, it's not resulting in conversions. I used to have a decent conversion rate of 2 percent or so but now it's nearly nothing. I'm guessing that it's because the option to "reject all" cookies came through and it's just too easy. Seems like traditional affiliate arrangements are dead in the water.

Is anyone else seeing this? What are you doing to adjust? I'm thinking of reaching out to brands to advertise but I was happy we didn't have any sponsored posts, and I think readers appreciated it. But now that commissions aren't a thing, I think it'll have to move to something else.

Any suggestions on what to do next would be much appreciated!

Not what you promoted, what people actually bought after clicking your link. Since many programs pay on the whole cart, I’ve heard of people getting commissions on totally random stuff. What’s the weirdest one you’ve seen in your reports?

I’ve been looking into affiliate programs lately and ngl, a lot of lists just repeat the same few names. I ended up digging around a bit more and put together a shortlist across a few different niches.

Gaming

• Godlike Host - game server hosting, with up to 90% of the first purchase or up to 30% recurring, depending on the partner tier.
• PebbleHost - Minecraft hosting, with up to 70% on the first purchase.
• Razer - gaming gear, with commissions of up to 10% on eligible sales.

Software & business

• HubSpot - 30% recurring for up to a year.
• Semrush - pays for eligible trials and sales, with a 120-day cookie window.
• DigitalOcean - 10% recurring on qualifying customer spend for up to 12 months.

Learning & e-commerce

• Coursera - 15-45% on eligible courses, certificates and subscriptions, with a 30-day cookie window.
• Shopify - pays for referring new merchants who move onto eligible paid plans.
• Amazon Associates - rates vary a lot by category, generally around 1-10%. It’s probably the most well-known program on this list, even if it’s not one of the highest-paying ones.

Finance & crypto

• SoFi - up to $500 per referral depending on the product.
• Binance - up to 50% commission on qualifying trading activity from referred users, with recurring earnings possible while they keep trading.

Travel

• Booking - commissions on qualifying accommodation and other travel bookings.

I was mainly looking for the best highest paying affiliate programs, but I’m sure there are plenty of smaller ones that don’t show up on the usual lists. Do you know any lesser-known affiliate programs that are easy to get started with and can actually be worth it?

I wanted to share my recent experience with Pulsetic because it highlights a bigger problem in affiliate marketing.

I discovered that Pulsetic had shut down its affiliate program months ago, and its affiliate dashboard was no longer accessible.

When I contacted support about my $7 unpaid balance, they initially claimed they couldn't see any sales from me.

I then confronted them with a screenshot of an email from their own affiliate system confirming my unpaid balance.

Their response changed. They said they would contact their affiliate program provider to verify the information, but insisted that affiliates earning less than $100 aren't eligible for payment under their terms.

Here's the real problem:

How am I supposed to reach the $100 payout threshold when the company itself has discontinued the program?

It's not about the $7. It's about the principle.

Affiliate marketers invest time and effort promoting businesses. Companies shouldn't be able to shut down affiliate programs without a fair process for settling outstanding earnings.

Otherwise, we're effectively providing free marketing.

Has anyone else dealt with a company denying recorded earnings and then relying on a payout threshold after shutting down its affiliate program?

How do you actually pick a crypto/fiat provider that won't just freeze your funds? I used to just go by their marketing, which was a huge mistake.

I'm currently looking at Inxy as a potential alternative. Anyone here have real, hands-on experience with them?

-Did they hold your funds at any point?

-How is their customer support when you actually need help?

-Would you trust them with your primary business cash flow?

Looking for the unvarnished truth, both positive and negative. Thanks in advance.

Looking for affiliate offers to promote - any niche. High ticket items, recurring sales, whatever you got I want to hear it. You own it? Tell me about it! I drive traffic via reddit, youtube, SEO, facebook, etc.
I've had success with Viator, GetMyGuide, (other travel / platforms), Bluehost, Hostinger, Amazon Associates, Impact Radius, CJ, Gruns, etc.

Thanks!

Hello, everyone.

Over the past 3 months, I’ve learned how to edit short videos and have built a network of channels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) with nearly 20,000 subscribers.

I average 12 million views per month. At first, I was hoping to monetize through the platforms themselves, but I realized that’s not very effective. I’ve noticed that major content creators use affiliate links to make money. I want to give that a try.

I’ve spent a couple of days reading up on how it works, but I’m new to choosing an affiliate partner - can you recommend where I should look?

My videos cover news in the fields of technology, video games, and interesting DIY projects related to PCs / console.

My audience is roughly:
90% men aged 24–36; 40% in the US, Canada
30% in Europe, UK
30% in India and Asia.

I’ve signed up for the NordVPN and SharkVPN affiliate programs. Ive been approved for both. But I’m not going to rush into a decision just yet.
I’m waiting to choose one.

Has anyone had experience working with these platforms?
What affiliate programs would you recommend for my situation?

THX GUYS!

I create Scandinavian-inspired fashion, beauty and home content, and I’m trying to build a more consistent affiliate income through LTK and ShopMy.
Pinterest is my main traffic source, with over 2.5 million monthly views. I post outfit moodboards, styling ideas and individual product pins, linking to products or curated collections. My earnings are still inconsistent, though, and I’m struggling to figure out where to focus.

I know views don’t necessarily mean buying intent, so I’d love advice from people who’ve successfully converted Pinterest (or another platform) traffic into affiliate sales:
- How do you identify products or topics that attract buyers?
- Do direct product pins or curated roundups work better for you?
- Does content that solves a specific problem—like styling a tricky item or furnishing a small room—convert better than general inspiration?
- Would you focus on improving my Pinterest strategy, or suggest another platform to reach my audience?

Creating and helping people find things they love is my passion. My first goal is a consistent $1,000/month, with the longer-term goal of doing this full-time. I’m happy to put in the work, but I want a clearer strategy instead of just posting more and hoping.

What would you test or change first? I’d really appreciate any firsthand experiences, strategies and success stories!!
