Amazon affiliate

I'm thinking of setting up a blog to write reviews of music artists. I LOVE music and listen to a hell of a lot of stuff, and always have opinions on it, so I fugred I could try to plug some affiliate links into each review.

Just wondered if there were any better affiliate programs for this? I hear Amazon cookie length is only 24 hours, which is a bit concerning.

Any thoughts on this would be great

thanks

  • Amazon has a very small commission %. I would recommend seeing if any other online music stores have affiliate programs. Then just look for the one with the highest commission %.
  • eMusic.com pays really well, you should look into it. They pay like 9.99 for a free trial. Rhapsody and a couple of other online music subscriptions have really great affiliate programs. I would stay away from amazon for music, you wont make any money unless you have a monster site.
  • Hate to say it but amazon is probably your best bet because people will be willing to buy from it.

    I wouldn't worry to much about short cookie length - do you really thing people are going to think long and hard about buying a $15 cd?

    Its too bad iTunes doesn't have an affiliate store.

    • Fully agree with you, Amazon is well known for selling cds online, so I'd go with them based off that, despite the short cookie length and crappy payouts, it's a name you can trust, that really matters online.

  • Sorry to bump an old thread, but iTunes does have an affiliate program now I believe.
  • iTunes has an affiliate program in 22 countries (US, CA, AU, NZ, JP and 17 countries in Europe), pays out between 4 to 5% and offers a 72 hour window. I've used both Amazon and iTunes to sell music and iTunes made me more money hands down.
