 Mobile applications — Some of the hundreds of apps that are available through the iTunes Affiliate Program and other mobile app affiliate networks.

 iTunes affiliate program

 Music, movies, TV shows, and more — Media offered through Amazon as well as the iTunes Affiliate Program and others.

 Advantages

 Digital downloads are an easy way to get started and help your audience with pressing problems.

 There are no overhead costs of production, shipping or storage.

 Your buyer can access and begin benefiting from their digital product immediately.

 Disadvantages

 Many ebook, software, or other download products are relatively inexpensive. You’d have to sell a lot of them to make any significant money.

 Our Recommendation?

 Do it! But expect higher earnings from other options on this list.

 Option #2: Online, Hosted, and Professional Services

 When it comes to selling services as an affiliate, it’s important to concentrate on those which will be accessible to your entire audience no matter where they’re located (as opposed to service providers who serve local customers only).

 In other words, don’t limit your earning potential by geography.

 Your best bet is to represent online, hosted, or professional service providers/influencers you’ve worked with in the past and have full confidence in.

 Designers (99 Designs, Zazzle, Designmodo)

 Designer Services Screenshots

 Virtual Assistant or customer service support (Zendesk Partners program, VA Affiliates, TempsASAP)

 IT support, cloud-based storage, backup, security or other technical services based on monthly subscriptions

 Advantages

 It’s easy to become a service affiliate, and it helps your audience manage important tasks that require specific expertise.

 There’s likely a higher earning potential than from digital downloads because services are usually offered at a higher price point.

 Many hosted services will offer a recurring commission – meaning you’ll get paid for as long as the customers you refer continue to use the service.

 Disadvantages

 Some of your favorite professional service providers (ones you have experience with) might not have affiliate programs in place.
