One of the biggest marketplaces to find digital products (e-books, courses and software). Clickbank is where I found Venus Factor. A lot of the best affiliate marketers in the world promote products available on Clickbank. So they’re a legit start. They have multiple payout options, Payoneer (one of my favorite companies – I’ll write a post about them soon), direct bank transfer and even physical cheques. The usual payout threshold is USD10, which means that you’ll need at least USD10 in commissions before they make the payment.

The main reasons to get started with affiliate marketing should be clear from the previous example: You don’t have to create your own products, and in many cases don’t need to build additional content. Instead, you merely include affiliate recommendations in your existing content. You can sign up for as many affiliate programs as you’d like. This is good news, as promoting popular products is a smart way to attract more traffic to your site and improve your brand exposure.
On a side note, don’t get too serious with SEO. I mean, you don’t have to be a master of SEO. You need the basic understanding which you can implement in your affiliate promotion. There’s no harm to learn the details though.
