PeerFly - If you only join one network this is the one to join. Great history, lots of variety, good affiliate resources and a great payment system.
Max Bounty - I recommend this one with caution, they pay on time and offer low weekly payout requirements, but it can be difficult to make serious money with them as they restrict the best offers to their top affiliates.
ClickDealer - Global Affiliate Network with numerous gaming, dating, auction and survey offers with top payouts.
Above All Offers- Solid network with a great selection of Pay-Per-Sale and CPA Trial offers for physical products (plenty of earning potential if physical products are your thing).
OfferShot - Another big network for physical products, mainly infomercial stuff which is an EASY SELL. (only As Seen on TV network I recommend)

Tips on Getting Into Any Affiliate Network

When you apply for a new affiliate network you will be required to share your promotion methods. Avoid talking about free sources such as YouTube, Twitter, or even Facebook Pages. Many offers have restrictions on how they can be promoted and most of the "tricks" you may have learned are against them.

Instead, tell them that you will be promoting via PAID TRAFFIC.

Affiliate networks love paid traffic because it generally converts better and brings them higher quality leads.

I usually just explain that I have experience with PPC, PPV and Banner Ads on Bing, Facebook, Plenty of Fish etc and they are happy to let me in.

Contrary to what many people may have told you, you certainly don't need your own website to get accepted into an affiliate network.

I've never use SEO or a website to promote affiliate offers and I've had no trouble getting into almost every network I've applied for (including the ones on this page).

If asked during an interview (usually just a Skype chat) about my website I tell them I do have a domain that I use for my tracking software, but that is it.






Bing Ads - Bing Ads offers pay-per-click advertising that is more affiliate friendly than Google. Both landing pages and squeeze pages are allowed.
Facebook Ads - While they may be a little more difficult to master, Facebook ads are highly targeted, convert well, and provide quality leads.
7 Search - Nowhere near the traffic that the first two provide, but it's still a high quality pay per click network that will convert if you learn the ropes.
Plenty of Fish - Similar to Facebook plenty of fish sells display ads in multiple formats that target users based on certain demographics and preferences.
Lead Impact - Solid pay-per-view pop-under network that has a lower barrier to entry ($200 initial deposit) than similar alternatives. Only recommended if you have a decent budget for testing.

Tips on Running Paid Traffic

Fund your account with an amount you are comfortable spending and losing if things don't work out. If you don't make money right away don't be disappointed, there is still hope!
While the ideal is to make more than you spend, this almost never happens during the testing phase. More often than not you will need to prune the bad creative, landing pages, and offers before you start to make money.
Set your daily budget on a per campaign basis, if you see that you are consistently hitting the budget there is probably room to expand (but don't begin to scale things until you're profitable).
There is some debate over an appropriate dollar amount to invest in testing and obviously it's commensurate with experience. If you are just starting out you may have to spend a little more before you see a conversion. Generally it's a good rule of thumb to spend up to 2 and 1/2 times payout in order to throughly test a new offer.
Don't force it. If an offer doesn't convert after a fair amount of testing don't be afraid to throw it out. More often than not my biggest winners are the ones I least expected and the ones I thought were a sure thing end up tanking. You can't predict the winners and that is why you must TEST.
Finally, remember this is supposed to be fun. If you lose money at first try not to stress over it, the excitement you get from your first sale on a new offer is worth it, two sales and you might be on to something.

Remember, you know more than you think you do at this point, trust your instinct and move forward. The only way to truly know if something works is to test it out.

Internet marketing is a constant state of monitoring, testing and analyzing what is working and what isn't. Once you find something that is working you can scale it to other a broader audience by adding new keywords, targeting a wider audience, or moving to another traffic network.

On that note, I have one last tip for you...

Choose one traffic source and master it before you move on. All of the networks I listed have brought me success and I know each and every one of them has the potential to make you money. Select the one you are most comfortable with, the one that appeals to you most, and stick with it until you're profitable.
