In the last post, we talked about how to find out if a company you’d like to promote has an affiliate program, and where that affiliate program is located.
You see, while some companies (such as Amazon) have their own affiliate programs on their own websites, most companies use an Affiliate Network to host their affiliate program.
This is actually good news for you, because once you sign up and are approved at an Affiliate Network, it is a lot easier to sign up for specific affiliate programs.
Here are just a few of the largest Affiliate Networks, and some of the well known companies that you can sign up with once you are approved.
Linkshare: Buy.com, PetSmart, The Limited, French Connection, Office Depot, Barnes & Noble, Drugstore.com, Gamestop, and again, hundreds of others.
