i want to run some affiliate programs but i want to know which will earn most on a long term and which will earn most over short term
What sort of programs usually earn most
Ive earned the most with adult friend finder (I am not trying to promote them, nor do I recommend them). I love them but I hate them because I made about a grand a month with them for about 4 months but that was because I was on the ppc program and then they converted me down to a percentage program and I make nothing now. I understand why they do it, but just to warn you, they might not pay you what is in your account if it gets "converted" to a percentage account. I actively promoted them though, I didnt just put them on a website of mine and get that many clicks. I was lucky that I lasted that long because I have many people under me on my broker account and they were converted the first month. Their stats look identical to mine so it's hard to say what determines when you get converted (it says that you have have 1 free sign up for every 25 unique visitors you send them, but mine was way over that for a long time and I still got paid.)
Pay per leads are great for short term. Depending on your traffic, you can easily make mid $xxx to lower $xxxx on a single campaign.
For long term, find a good affiliate with quality products or services that are targeted at your audience. There is no limit to the amount of money you can make with this strategy...
