Have you ever wanted to promote some really good affiliate programs?
But you don’t know for one you want and what you like preferably and you’re willing to use.
My name is Shelly Hopkins and I welcome you to my blog.
if you are especially a newbie to affiliate marketing, you should want to start off with the good programs.
Because if you get started with the wrong programs that don’t convert, you’re just honestly wasting a bunch of time.
In this article, I’ll show you what I personally think are the top nine best affiliate programs for 2020.
Before we dive into the meat of the article and see my top affiliate programs, let’s look at what an affiliate program means.
What Is An Affiliate Program?
In simple terms, an affiliate program is an association between an online merchant and an affiliate where the merchant pays the affiliate a commission on every sale generated.
There are three parties in an affiliate marketing system.
- The Merchant (product owner)
- The Affiliate
- The Customer
The affiliate is saddled with the responsibility of sending traffic to the merchant’s site via special affiliate links.
Once a customer clicks on the affiliate link and goes ahead to purchase the product on the merchant’s site, the affiliate would be paid a certain percentage of the sale as affiliate commissions.
Here are my top 9 best affiliate programs in 2020.
#1: Amazon Associates
This is one of the best affiliate programs out there on the internet. It is the most popular and best advertising program of all time.
The Amazon affiliate program pays up to 15% commission of product sale and it is currently available in the following countries:
- USA
- United Kingdom
- Deutschland
- France
- Japan
- Canada
- China
- Italy
- Spain
- India
- Brazil
- Mexico
If you want to promote awesome products like gadgets or house equipment on your website or blog, the Amazon affiliate program is the place to be.
You can promote virtually anything. And it’s easy to join and has a user-friendly interface that lets you navigate various products you can promote.
For example, one of the best books in the world to read is Rich Dad Poor Dad. You see that link will go to Amazon where you can purchase the book under my account.
You’ll also get a live traffic report and detailed analysis.
There’s a lot of people that make really good money with the Amazon Associate affiliate program.
But they don’t pay a lot and this is why it’s my least favorite.
I can put my camera and mic equipment which I bought from Amazon and if anybody wants any of that, goes ahead and purchase, I earn a commission.
It’s easy to sign up on the platform and takes less than five minutes. The program is a good fit for you if you’re into health and wealth or your recipe.
#2: Clickbank
Almost everyone knows about Clickbank and it’s my number two.
Clickbank is a diverse marketplace filled with products belonging to various merchants and you’re able to pick-and-choose to promote, based on what your audience would be interested in.
I like Clickbank for some things.
ClickBank does have a lot of good stuff in the marketplace. They have a bunch of stuff in different categories and they also have software available for affiliate promotion.
That’s what I mostly do so it’s one of the affiliate programs that you should definitely check out.
Another cool thing with ClickBank is you’ll always find something to promote. Their database is easy to navigate which makes finding any niche product to promote a cool breeze!
You can earn as high as 75% and $150 earned per referral sale, regardless of product.
I strongly urge you to go to ClickBank because a lot of people use it and I’ve seen a lot of people start off on it.
#3: JVZoo
JVZoo is another affiliate program you should use.
It is one of the best affiliate networks for beginners and they currently offer many attractive products to promote.
They have great resources and tools that are extremely useful and easy to use.
I like them because they are really good for new product launches. So, if you’re into launch jacking, JVZoo is a good fit for you.
Also, they have fast customer support, pays instantly through Paypal and make becoming a publisher less stressful.
#4: Namecheap
Namecheap is an ICANN accredited domain registrar founded in 2000 by Richard Kirkendall with Headquarters in Los Angeles, United States.
They provide domain name registration and web hosting services and currently handle over 10 million domains.
Namecheap is arguably one of the best domain name registrar and web hosting providers in the world.
They have an affiliate program that lets you benefit from selling the services on the company’s behalf.
You can earn affiliate commissions whenever you refer a new customer to purchase any of their different products which are:
- Hosting packages
- Domain Names
- SSL Certificates
- Premium Domains
Namecheap would pay you a 20% commission rate on domain purchases, 35% on SSL Certificate, 35% on Hosting Packages, 20% on Private Emails and 20% on Premium Domains.
The domain registrar has maintained a good reputation over time and their products are really cheap which leads to a high conversion rate.
It’s also easy, fast to set up, start promoting their products and earn good commissions which you can withdraw via multiple payout options.
Their customer support is also fantastic which makes it hassle-free promoting their products.
So, they ultimately deserve this spot on my top 9 best affiliate programs to promote.
#5: Autoresponders
Autoresponders is essential for any internet marketer and these are my top three autoresponders with the great affiliate program:

ClickFunnels has one of the most lucrative affiliate programs out there for internet marketers.
Firstly, the product is a good one and it helps you build sales funnels that sell your message to the world

And if you get 200 referrals, they’ll pay $1000 per month.
And that’s on top of all the ClickFunnels affiliate commissions you’ll earn.
There are many products in the ClickFunnels ecosystem and this includes Russell’s books (DotCom Secrets & Expert Secrets), Funnel Builder Secrets, Traffic Secrets, and Funnel Scripts.
However, you can earn 100% commissions per sale when you promote the One Funnel Away Challenge.
The One Funnel Away Challenge is great for anyone looking to get into affiliate marketing. It costs just $100 and it’s really worth it.
And you can make your money back once you refer to one person since it pays 100% affiliate commissions.
Russell Brunson also put together a Funnel Hacker cookbook that is something that you have to see.
One of my favorite things about the ClickFunnels affiliate program is their cookie tracking system which rewards you for other things your referrals buy in the ClickFunnels ecosystem.
For instance, if someone signs up for one of Russell’s books with your affiliate link and goes ahead to sign up for ClickFunnels, you’ll receive a commission for both the book and the software.

You’ll get high-value content and can also make money when you join its amazing affiliate program.
Legendary Marketer has 2 levels in their affiliate program.
There’s a free basic tier where you earn lower commissions and a paid pro tier where you earn higher commissions.
The free basic tier will let you earn 10% commissions for everything, except for Marketer’s Club which will pay you 30% recurring.
To be on the pro level, you’ll need to pay $29.95/month. This would let you earn 40% commissions for most products except the Marketer’s Club where you earn 60% recurring commissions ($18.80 per month).
