So a lot of people ask me about affiliate networks and which one’s I work with. I don’t believe in working with 1000 networks. We get hit up everyday asking us to join their network or whatever. But, I have my select choices. The networks that treat me well are the one’s I work with. It’s not always about the money. It’s about loyalty and who’s got who’s back.
Everyone’s always chasing the money but have no idea about building relationships. If some shit hits the fan one day with one of the networks or YOU, the networks you have loyalty with will definitely hook you up if you do volume through them. Half of these fraud networks will never have your back and don’t really give two shits about you. So make sure you know what you’re getting into.
You have to go and meet these people. Take flights out to chill with them. Meet them at Ad:Tech or Affiliate Summit. Go to their parties and events. Meet with your affiliate manager and take em out for dinner. Everytime I go to NY (which is pretty often cuz I got a house out there and family, friends, etc.), I make it a point to check out my people at Copeac.
In my books, the worst of the worst networks is CPAEmpire aka Affiliate.com – They can go screw themselves
Below are my select choices of networks and why…
yMultimedia – Me and my partner AKA “Jay Syles” own this network. Our network isn’t the biggest or the best. But we got some exclusives and top payouts. If we don’t have you’re offer, then just let us know and we’ll go to bat for you to get any offer at a better payout. We’re working on about 12 different products right now, so you’ll see more exclusives comin’.
>Copeac – The peeps over at Copeac are just REAL. And being REAL in this game counts. If you do enough volume, you can get almost anything from these guys. Shout out to Dan and Stephen!
ClickBooth – I’ve been working with Clickbooth for almost 3 years now. There were a ton of rumors and claims going around years ago that ClickBooth doesn’t pay. Well, I never experienced that. In fact at one point I was owed an absurd amount of money (around $600k) and I started bugging out thinking that they weren’t going to pay me. They did and I even got them to start paying me every two weeks. Not bad. Not only that, but these guys get exclusive’s all the f’in time. They got some good sales reps. Some bullshit forum posts went around on WickedFire about Jon and how he didn’t get paid. It turned into one of the most popular posts. But again that’s WickedFire. The world’s most antagonistic forum out. If you wanna feel like being shit on all day (literally piles of dung falling on you), then join and enjoy the shitfest. I’m sure there are some gem posts, but with so much garbage too, how do you even find them? It’s just a bunch of lil kids bashing on each other behind their online avatars.
Convert2Media – Steve and Ruck got it goin’ on. These guys bust their ass to get you what you want. I used to work with Ryan back in the day, but he has since left.
Azoogle – I used to do some major volume with Azoogle back in the day, but haven’t in a while. This company is ROCK solid. I used to work with Jai back in the ringtone and eBay days. Rest in peace brotha. Jeremy and and John are cool peeps who always try to take care of you.
Motive Interactive – Motive is a new network that came out on the scene. Not many know about ‘em, but they are good people. I think they get most of their offers from ClickBooth or from the same companies as ClickBooth. Chris will def do what he can for you.
Market Leverage – ML is another company that’s been around for a while. They have some pretty solid offers. Too bad they missed out on the whole acai train. (I guess that’s a good thing) 
But one thing is for sure, they have offers on their network that have been around forever, which means that they have a constant flow of great offers.
There are a couple more I know I’m missing here, but those are the first one’s that come to my mind.
That’s all for now. Till Next Time.

Well, no punches pulled here. Thanks Amish.

Thanks for the list. Your right, some of the networks (I won’t name them) have lousy service. I’m not getting paid and they don’t answer any emails. I’m not a super affiliate (yet) but I still expect to get paid if and when I make sales for them.
So far Copeac, Neverblue and Azoogle have been good as far payments and getting back to me when I ask a question.
BTW, just wanted to Thank You Amish. After watching a few of your free videos and applying a particular tactic that you shared with everyone, my sales have been going up every month. Thanks!
Steve

Hi Amish,
Thanks for the plug Amish, I really appreciate it!
Even though I left C2M back in March, I’m not out of the game by any means!
I’ve done it again, I’ve founded another up & coming network to keep your eye on.
Have a good day.
Don’t Knock The Hustle

IMO The absolute Best CPA network is EWA Network owned by Ryan Eagle.
They pay out weekly, have the highest payout and yes, they send out weekly “EPIC” emails; several para’s worth of how-to CPA info. i think everyone shld join EWA just to snoop in on the “EPIC” emails they send to their affiliates. Ryan and his partner, Harrison offer personal coaching too to their affiliates at no charge; gotta book an appointement though.

Ryan Liao reply on September 22nd, 2009 10:35 am:
Yes, Ryan and his team treats the affiliates like family. They are hands down the best and they always do things differently(in a better way) from other affiliate network.

Jon is cool. But that is a VERY good description of certain members at wickedfire.

Amish you going to fast most guy start in this business they just try to make the first $1 to get happy. They just can’t afford to go to Ad: Tech or Affiliate Summit even they been spend 5 years to make money online. They still try to figure out how to make money online. Why because to much scams or hypes product!
(what the big deal with cpa Empire you guy’s play something or what?
In my books, the worst of the worst networks is CPAEmpire aka Affiliate.com – They can go screw themselves)
By the way Amish can you writing article about your favorite search engine not google people believed nobody make money with google anymore.
Also your best Media Buyers…
This a couple suggestions for the next article: twitter/nichedepotbiz

Thanks Amish.

Thanks for the heads up on affiliate networks. I’ve got several ads running from CJ and Amazon that have thousands of impressions, (on a site getting 1500-2500 uniques a day) very few clicks, and ZERO revenue, meanwhile these bastards get free impressions on my sites, and I’m ready to dump them.
I too have lost faith in banner ads, affiliate marketing, and with the economy in turmoil, my budget is too tight right now, so as much as I’d love to come to your seminars, I need to get the pump primed first with some real revenue, not spend money I really don’t have to learn “secrets” that don’t pan out. Perhaps you can post some starting points that can show real revenue.
Thanks

Excellent comment. I really appreciate the tremendous wealth of information in regards to the list of solid and reliable networks that you have enlisted in this blog. Thank so much Amish for your time and for sharing this valuable information.

Hello Amish
Thanks for the blog post re – affiliate networks.
I have come across quite a few of those but a couple were totally new to me.
You’re absolutely right – I’ve had the same experience with Copeac. They are professional and they really do seem to care about their affiliates.
I have my aff manager emailing me and even phoning me weekly plus epc reports etc. On my top recommendation.
Hey I saw those pictures on Facebook – the Magic Bullet seminar seems you guys really had a ball.
I was really sorry to have missed out due to circumstances.
Taker care
Oh by the way – Would be great to see a blog post on Ad networks that you use.
I use a few but pointers here would be fantastic. ( Media Buys etc )
Thanks again
Hamant

Dude if you’re been online for 5 years with the sole goal of trying to make money online and you haven’t even broken $1 don’t you think there is probably something else you should be spending your time on? Maybe saying you’re not cut out for this is an understatement but I admire your determination!
[Reply]
Excellent info dude. I like your set up on the bottom of the page too.
Keep plugging the info.

Hey Amish,
Thanks for the shout out in the blog post. Congrats on your new network. Be careful on all the fraud appliactions that are going to come flooding in. http://www.convert2media.com/blog/2009/09/11/steve-catches-a-frauder/
[Reply]
Cool stuff Amish and awesome information. I have an offer which I was going to run with cpaempire/affiliate.com. But from your recommendation I shouldn’t waste my time. I was at San Dieago for the magic bullet seminar and it totally rocked!
Anyway, the offer I have was a niche I chose for magic bullet attendees. So I want to run it maybe you can pick up the offer with ymultimedia?
[Reply]
Very much your providing this valuable hands on information. You have earned my respect.
[Reply]
Awesome post, you need to post more often and consistently. Glad to see you back! Even Diorex has warned about cpa empire. I cut off my traffic to them over a year ago and have never looked back. I remember your post at Wicked Fire about a year ago calling out affiliate.com.
You couldn’t be more right about the climate at Wicked Fire.The age and maturity level there seems to have decreased from high schooler to jr high school age boys with posts littered with boobs, porn and sick humor among the childish antics and rants. That disguisting Turbolap is the den mother / moderator over there to all of this crap and Jon posts infrequently. Waste of time to go there anymore.

Hey Pete. Well, looks like we’ll have to run some traffic with ya!
[Reply]
Amish, I’ve seen you recommend clickbooth several times so I guess they’re working for you. In my experience though they scrub the hell out of leads with every offer I’ve tested with them. They’re the worst performing network I’ve ever tested so I’m wondering how you’ve gotten them to work for you?
[Reply]
Amish reply on September 29th, 2009 2:29 am:
I’ve honestly got everything I’ve ever done with them to work. Sucks your having issues! Have you ever given them a pixel so you can track?
[Reply]
I was googling for affiliate programs to add to my portfolio and came upon your site. It looks like you have some helpful information here, I’ve subscribed to your rss feed and will put you in my favorites folder. Thanks for inspiring me.
