This post, which is 2300 words long (as per John Chow), can be considered as a small summary of his top quality ebook on Affiliate Marketing, i.e. Make Money Online. If you are that type of person who doesn’t want to read long ebooks then this post is very well suited for you.

The main advantage that you will get when you go through this post is, it’s very simple and best of all, it is stepwise. John Chow has made this post very much like a hyperlink to his ebook. Don’t get the wrong idea, it doesn’t need you to click anywhere else. It’s just a miniature of his ebook, that’s all.

This post focuses on 7 points and these are main chores to complete if you want to become a good affiliate marketer:-

1. Choose a series of Clickbank products in the same niche to promote
2. Create a free eBook about the niche to give away
3. Create a squeeze page offering the free ebook
4. Send traffic to the squeeze page
5. Capture the lead coming to the squeeze page
6. Deploy email auto responders with the Clickbank products
7. Watch the money rack up in your Clickbank account

John Chow did not put a lot of confusing words in these points, they are just simple to follow chores that can lead you to become a powerful affiliate marketer.

Right now, i would say that my little review is not complete because I’ve yet to try his formula or what he refers as ‘A (Click Bank) Affiliate Model that Works’.

By mentioning click bank throughout this post, he doesn’t mean that it won’t work on other affiliate products. The source doesn’t matter, it obviously doesn’t matter from where you are getting your product, what matters is that you must follow each step carefully and sincerely.

I may not be an affiliate marketer and I am definitely not. But I’ve been doing several tests with the life around me and they have taught me just one thing. And I can assure you that many successful will definitely agree with me. The thing is, ‘If you can’t enjoy what you do, you won’t feel the pleasure from the results it would bring you’!

P.S. – If you don’t get what John Chow wants to tell you (a most rare case), then all you have to do is put each of his points in your daily life. You’ll understand them for sure.

Affiliate support is very nice and you’ll get your problems solved in no time. Revenue potential is as you see varies depending on the products you choose and the rate by which you redirect it to people.

Payments are processed after a thorough recheck of your referrals, but it doesn’t take much time and you’ll have your payments in few days.

The best part is that this affiliate program is not limited for U.S. citizens. Means everyone can take part in it from around the world.

2. Thinkhost – Thinkhost is website hosting platform which also features affiliate program. The base commission is $100 per referral who joins by your link, but it doesn’t have lifetime commission’s process. This one also features real-time statistics to let you manage your efforts. Payment is based on monthly basis, if you clear the threshold, which is just $10, you will be paid. Promptness of payments is nice than pepperjam network.

You may want to give it try because it has a lot of potential in affiliate marketing and had been for 10 year in internet world.

3. FriendFinder – As the name suggests, this website runs a dating network which has been widely used and this website earned a lot of fame since 1997. It also has a base commission of $100. The affiliate support is of top notch quality as well as revenue potential. Then commission varies from $1 to $100, depending on your level and number of people who join by your referral link. It features earning up to 2-tier and the commissions 10% of what people will pay.

4. Linkshare – this website is propagated via Rokuten Company. Affiliate support is quite ok but not of top notch quality, revenue potential is fine though. Base commission varies as usual from $1 to $100. You get a wide range of merchants to promote, approx. 600.

Payment frequency is on monthly basis and this program accepts people from all over the world.

Best part is again, life-time payments.

5. Medstore – Medstore is the best health affiliate program. The website claims up to 70% of commission by promoting their products. Although, the base commission varies from $0 (in case you don’t send even one click) and to 21-29 % what people will buy.

This affiliate program may not compel many people to join it because of its low affiliate income but the people who know about health products for some extent can promote their products to a wide range of community to earn a substantial income. This website is online since 2006. Payment frequency is bi-weekly so that if you are in need of some quick cash then you can do so and take the money after you have reached the payment threshold, which is $200, quite high no?

So these are my top five affiliate marketing programs in various fields and I would recommend the top two programs.
