You will find the best affiliate programs 2025. No code leaking.
I collaborate with more than 500 brands
Since 2016, I have had the opportunity to try and use several, if not all, of the affiliate programs on the market. I have experience with more than 20 affiliate programs.
Pick and Affiliate programs that track correctly affiliate referrals, and offer so much-needed data to the affiliates, such as traffic, sales, performance, and customer information. This allows the affiliate to perform even better.
Not recommended affiliate programs
❌ GRIN: not much data
❌ Shopify: not much data and creates several issues for creators and brands. Plus, there have been identity thefts on the Shopify affiliate program.
❌ Refersion: does not have an automatic payment system, and I often saw errors and brands not being able to manage payments correctly.
Brands and affiliates deal with code leaking to the coupons site. This is an almost daily issue. So many brands are switching to safer and more effective ways to avoid this costly and time-wasting code from being leaked on coupon sites.
Brands with link-discounts
Many more brands are embracing this approach, and they have the most successful platform system
They associate customers with influencers so the affiliates can get commissions for repeat orders from customers brought in.
The average commission is 10% to 20%. I also see 5% to 7%, but that is not the average. The higher the commission, the more motivated your influencers will be!
The average commission for influencers is 5%, 10%, 15%, or 25%. I suggest offering 15% to be more competitive with other brands. Or at least 10%. 25%, if you want to be super appreciated. You will find that by raising the commission you will raise the enthusiasm of your influencers when they recommend your products.
Don’t forget to gift your influencers with your products! Sending your products to your influencers/affiliates is common. You may want to collaborate with us by sending products for one month in exchange for promotion and content.
Not all influencers, creators, and bloggers are the same. When you find an experienced influencer you will need to compensate for their expertise and time. They have their media kit and here is mine.
Fair compensation is necessary to create respect and a long-term partnership with your influencers, who work full-time and create daily content for your brand. As a professional influencer, I know how much time, dedication, and skills are put into promotional campaigns. In my case, I don’t just take pretty pictures (just that is a profession), but there is research and data involved every time my content is shared, with the intent to educate my audience and to shape the market with more demands for organic, sustainable brands.
