We are going to talk about them today. Here are five excellent methods to find companies that offer affiliate programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free and Paid Affiliate Marketing Platforms for Brands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are looking for an affiliate platform to integrate your brand into, you have several options, ranging from free and open-source to paid, as well as enterprise-level and expensive. Your choice would depend on your budget and your future expansion plans. Bear in mind that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/migrating-to-another-affiliate-platform-heres-how-to-do-it-without-downtime-or-data-loss\/\" title=\"Migrating To Another Affiliate Platform?

Examine the Major Affiliate Networks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The simplest way to identify firms with affiliate programs is to join an affiliate network, explore the platform, and search for affiliate programs. In the United States, the most popular affiliate networks include:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"709\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/shareasalerew.jpg\" alt=\"-\" class=\"wp-image-5104\" style=\"width:322px;height:194px\" title=\"-\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/shareasalerew.jpg 709w, https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/shareasalerew-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ShareASale (now owned by Awin)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/casino-affiliate-management-top-10-vendors-strategies-to-get-started\/#CJ_Affiliate\" title=\"CJ Affiliate\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"275347\" rel=\"dofollow\" >CJ Affiliate<\/a> by Conversant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rakuten Marketing (formerly known as LinkShare)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pepperjam<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AvantLink<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Impact<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LinkConnector<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may go to any or all of these networks, sign up as an affiliate, log in to your new affiliate account, and begin viewing the available affiliate programs. Each network is unique, but they all let you seek company programs using basic keyword searches and categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies commonly advertise their affiliate programs within the affiliate network to gain further visibility. This is another technique to find affiliate programs, as these advertising programs tend to be prominent in various network searches and affiliate network promotional mailings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-examine-a-company-s-website\">2. Examine a Company&#8217;s Website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following method is to search the company&#8217;s website for affiliate programs. This is better for when you&#8217;re looking for a particular company&#8217;s affiliate program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/3d-rendering-online-shopping-system-1.jpg\" alt=\"How To Grow Your eCommerce Brand Through Affiliate Marketing?\" class=\"wp-image-5849\" title=\"-\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When a company has an affiliate program, it is standard practice to include a link in the website footer to provide more information about it. This link could take you directly to the program&#8217;s sign-up page on their affiliate network, or it could lead you to a landing page with more information about becoming an affiliate of that store. Here&#8217;s an example of a landing page for an affiliate program from one of our clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Checking the company&#8217;s website can also be the best, and sometimes the only, way to find their affiliate program if they run it in-house and are not part of an affiliate network. (You may learn about the different ways to support affiliate programs here.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amazon.com is well-known for this. They have one of the largest in-house and affiliate programs. Amazon Associates is their program, and you cannot promote Amazon through other prominent affiliate networks. You&#8217;ll need an Amazon account to get all of your links via Amazon&#8217;s Associates Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-examine-well-known-affiliate-websites\">3. Examine Well-Known Affiliate Websites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examining which firms are promoted on affiliate websites is a non-traditional but effective technique to identify companies with affiliate programs. Affiliate marketing generates the majority of revenue for sites such as<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>RetailMeNot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>BradsDeals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>eBates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SlickDeals. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A brief look at these sites will show numerous companies with affiliate programs promoted there. Assessing which companies are featured on other affiliate sites can give you insight into which programs tend to convert well and offer good payouts. These multi-million dollar businesses would not invest their resources in promoting underperforming affiliate programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examining which companies are being pushed to other affiliate sites can also give you a decent sense of whether companies have effective affiliate programs that convert and pay well. These multi-million dollar enterprises would not waste their time advertising companies&#8217; affiliate programs that do not perform well for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-take-advantage-of-affiliate-program-directories\">4. Take advantage of Affiliate Program Directories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Affiliate program directories are another online resource for finding various affiliate programs. Many websites, like HighPayingAffiliatePrograms.com, have compiled a database of all the main affiliate programs available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/3d-illustration-online-shop-app-smartphone-high-quality-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"-\" class=\"wp-image-5312\" title=\"-\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/3d-illustration-online-shop-app-smartphone-high-quality-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/3d-illustration-online-shop-app-smartphone-high-quality-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/3d-illustration-online-shop-app-smartphone-high-quality-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/3d-illustration-online-shop-app-smartphone-high-quality-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/3d-illustration-online-shop-app-smartphone-high-quality-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/3d-illustration-online-shop-app-smartphone-high-quality-370x370.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These websites can be excellent resources for locating programs in a specific field that you might have missed, skimmed over, or have yet to learn about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-make-use-of-facebook-groups-and-other-social-media-platforms\">5. Make Use of Facebook Groups and Other Social Media platforms.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When looking for a new doctor or someone to remodel your bathroom, you will usually ask around for referrals before giving someone a chance. It&#8217;s the same with a great affiliate program. Affiliate marketers congregate in numerous Facebook groups, social forums, and subreddits across the Internet, making these excellent places to identify companies with affiliate programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/chiang-mai-thailand-june-06-2021-woman-holds-smart-phone-with-facebook-application-screen-facebook-is-photo-sharing-app-smartphones-1.jpg\" alt=\"-\" class=\"wp-image-4559\" title=\"-\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The subreddit \/r\/affiliatemarketing boasts over 18,000 followers, where users continuously share posts and comments about various affiliate programs and marketing techniques. In contrast, the &#8220;Affiliate Caf\u00e9&#8221; Facebook community is smaller and more exclusive, established in 2016 after the notable affiliate marketing forum ABestWeb closed. Currently, it has over 300 members, most of whom were active in the former forum, making it a prime example of a Facebook group where affiliate programs and marketing strategies are actively discussed. Numerous other affiliate marketing forums and discussion platforms exist, which may be your next opportunity to find an excellent affiliate network to join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;Affiliate Caf\u00e9&#8221; Facebook community is smaller and more exclusive. It was founded in 2016, shortly after the demise of the venerable affiliate marketing community ABestWeb. It now has over 300 members (the majority of whom were active members of the forum above), and it&#8217;s an excellent example of a Facebook group that routinely discusses affiliate programs and affiliate marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that, there are numerous other affiliate marketing forums and discussion areas. Any of them could be your next step in locating a fantastic affiliate network to join.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, hopefully, we have answered the question of how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scaleo.io\/blog\/starting-an-affiliate-network-where-to-find-affiliates\/\" title=\"Starting An Affiliate Network: Where to Find Affiliates?\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"70065\" rel=\"dofollow\" >find affiliates<\/a> in 2026.
