How to make money as an affiliate of Shareasale?

CP, PDC, RAPB are all digital affiliate networks. With SAS you get physical products. One thing you'll notice is that not all merchants have good sales pages, so you often will have to do more pre-selling.

Also, make good use of SAS's custom link creation feature to make affiliate links targeted to exactly the page you want, so you can pre-sell a product and send the prospect directly to the product page.

For example: Let's say you're promoting Vitamin C in a blog post about avoiding winter colds. In the post, you tell your readers that not all Vit C is made the same and that you highly recommend Natural Factors because they make a very high quality chewable tablet with the most effective ingredients. Then, you tell them that they can get it delivered quickly and cheaply from iHerb. Now, if you just link to iHerb, they'll have a hard time finding the product and you could lose that sale. But, by linking directly to the Natural Factors Vit C listing page on iHerb, you get much higher conversions.

I agree with this, I am a merchant
