never heard of them, but thanks for the suggestion, I'll check them out tomorrow...

rakuten only allows France, Spain or Germany, I can't click on anything else other than these 3 countries, and since I'm in neither of them...
And DS24 I've heard they're stealing commissions. Not sure how true this is, but if it's true... well... no bueno, of course
I will check Warriorplus though, so thanks for the recommendation!

I'm from neither of the countries too but I've been promoting a product on there for the past 3 years. I think the requirements depends on the affiliate program/the product you are trying to promote.

so how did you get in?? I speak none of those languages, and I can't select English either, so I have no idea how to get in LOL
Check out CPAlead or MyLead to start — both have super easy approval, no strict KYC, and low payout thresholds ($10-$20). If you want a bit more variety, try Adsterra or PropellerAds for pop or push traffic. Once you get some traction, move on to MaxBounty for better offers. These are all newbie-friendly and pay via PayPal or Wise.

didn't Adsterra just implement draconic KYC measures few days ago? The likes of which I hate the most? I could swear that I've read the other day that they've just done this as spam is rampant on their network...
Propeller Ads I wanted to join yesterday, but my ultra strict safety (Brave browser with shield up + Ghostery + uBlock Origin) prevented their site from loading
I did disable all of these though, and tried again, but I still got warning of malicious site, so probably that their site is riddled with spyware, malware, phishing and god-knows what other abominations... Do you happen to know other networks? Because - at some point - Propeller Ads have been the daddy of all pop networks, but that is like 10 years ago if I'm not misremembering, but nowadays I'm not sure they are still the kings...
but there is KYC by how you've worded it, so what is the KYC process going to be like? Also, isn't CPALead about content locking (which is something that I'll never do)? Ok, maybe I will do it at some point, but right now I'm not comfortable with it, so I'll skip it...
MyLead I've never heard of, I guess I'll check this one out...
not in a million years! I'd rather die poor and miserable (which I'm on the path to doing anyway) than getting interviewed by money loving "gurus" who think they're worth something just because their wear suits, are square in shape and have learned how to make money, but can't grow a vegetable or cook for themselves...
networks that want to interview you (MaxBounty) and demand that you have a site with established traffic, and who won't release your money until you record yourself like a criminal for their enjoyment are never newbie-friendly.
Newbie-friendly means...
- click on Sign Up page to enter email and password in to create your account
- log into said account (that absolutely mandatory MUST be automatically approved) to grab your affiliate link of whichever offer you want
- go to Quora / Reddit / Tumblr / wherever else to spam that link and make a few sales to reach the (MANDATORY LOW) $5-10 withdrawal limit
- click on "withdraw money" and have the money instantly and automatically sent into your Paypal account
- done!
This is what newbie-friendly means, not having to go through hoops (recording yourself, getting interviewed, proving that you know how to drive traffic, etc) in order to merely get accepted into the network and once you're there you need to contact your account manager on Telegram to explain to them the exact same things that you've explained on the sign up page, then having to explain the same things for a 3rd time to the owners of those offers in order to get approved to promote their offer, and so on 10 levels deep.
I am exaggerating a little bit, of course. But not by much. The data mining, spyware and human exploitation is off the charts, it makes my skin crawl just by having to type this...
Anyway, thanks for the recommendations! Obviously that you couldn't know that I'm so easily triggered by these things, otherwise you probably wouldn't have replied
But I still do appreciate your recommendations, and I will check MyLead tomorrow.
Oh, I forgot to mention: Paypal doesn't work for me. I tried logging into it yesterday after about 2 years of non-activity and they wanted me to disable the adblockers and to enable JS in order to be granted access.
I did disable the ad blockers and the Brave shields, but it still didn't let me log in because I didn't enable JS (whatever that thing is, I have no idea how to enable it). I could google it, of course, but is Paypal that good anymore to be worth me googling for that? Not really, so PP is probably a closed chapter for me and it can beg for JS enabling all they want, but I'm not doing it anymore
Wise does sound good, I've used them in the past and I know that they are fast... well, not crypto-level fast, but relatively fast for normal money
But as far as I know WIse transfers come with higher transferring limits (like $500 and upwards), so it's not a very good option for me at the moment...
Oh well, I did find a relatively newbie-friendly network a few days ago, I will try to make that work. If that won't work I will probably make a compromise and go with one of the billions of content locking networks (CPA Lead, CPA Grip, CPA Build, etc... all of them clones of themselves anyway...)

I think you you are trying to sign up for a different program. Here's the sign up link:

it doesn't matter anyway because - even though I did sign up - look at all of this data mining, just look at it!
They won't let me access the account until I answer THEIR questions. Because they're the CIA to demand to know know everything about me...
Yeah, bro! You need to know my country in order to send me Paypal or Payoneer payments, mofos! You can't send payment via PP because you don't know where I live. F**king data mining rats!
My primary channel is my god damn business, it's none of your concern how I get you the money! More data mining right here !!!
EXACTLY what I've been saying: you can't even move without having to report to random nobodys private information about your business!
I am already pissed off at their impertinence, so I'm not going to use this trash network regardless (if they kick me out after reading this so be it, I gave them fake info anyway and I don't care.)
I just went along with the sign-up process to prove to you all what my problem is with today's affiliate marketing in general, and with CPA marketing in particular, so there you have it! Data mining company masked as CPA network. By the time I get approved into whichever one of their offers they will already have gathered a lot of info about me to sell it for 10-100x the profits they'll give me as commissions for promoting their offers. Modern day and insidious slavery and human exploitation, that's what this is all about

were you being inactive on CB? I am thinking that it's possible they purge all accounts that haven't been logged into for years (as it was my case)... or maybe the accounts that haven't generated commissions for years (also my case
)...But if none of these apply to you then the rumors are true that they've become garbage (ie. exclusivistic)... too bad as I really liked many of their products...

if you're surrounded by website developers, especially those who develop WooCommerce stores, then I may suggest you Plugincy

I'm taking a break from anything Wordpress-related so I don't think that your recommendation suits me at the moment. But I appreciate the tip
