Hey guys,


I've been lurking here for a while and finally decided to post. I used to work for an email marketing company, so I have some solid experience with campaigns, copy, and deliverability. Now I'm ready to go independent and run my own thing.


I already have a reliable mail sending system and a verified database (properly managed, of course). What I'm looking for is a good affiliate marketplace/network where I can get instant or very fast approval as a beginner so I can start promoting offers right away via email.


Preferably something with decent commissions in niches like IM/make money online, digital products, health, or whatever converts well with email. I don't want to wait weeks for approvals or deal with super strict reviews that kill the momentum.


ClickBank seems popular for instant access and digital stuff — anyone using it successfully with email these days? Or are there better options like JVZoo, Digistore24, ShareASale, or some CPA networks that are beginner-friendly and email-tolerant?


Any recent experiences, tips on what works (or what to avoid), or recommended offers would be awesome. Also open to advice on compliance/best practices to not get my sending setup flagged.


Thanks in advance, BHW fam! Appreciate any help to get this started smoothly.
 
Clickbank and Digistore are probably the fastest if you just want to get moving. JVZoo can be good for IM stuff but a lot of vendors still manually approve and some don't like cold-ish email traffic, so you'll waste time there unless your profile looks decent.

Main thing with email is don't pick offers only by payout. Pick stuff with clean landers, no crazy claims, decent refund rate, and something that doesn't scream scam in the first paragraph. Health and MMO can convert but they also burn lists fast if the offer is trash.

For CPA networks, beginner friendly is possible, but “email traffic” is where they start asking questions. If your database is actually permission based, say that clearly and show sample creatives / opt-in source. If it's just “verified” but not opted in, most legit networks won't want the headache.

imo start with Clickbank/Digistore, test 3-5 offers small, track EPC per segment, and keep your suppression/unsub process clean. Don't send everything from the same domain you care about either... learnt that one the annoying way.
 
Hey,

Thanks a lot for the detailed advice — really appreciate it!

Solid points on Clickbank and Digistore. I was thinking of starting there too. Any particular niches or offers on CB/Digistore that you've seen work well with email lately?

Also, good call on CPA networks. I do have permission-based lists (double opt-in), but I know most networks are still very strict with email traffic. Do you have any CPA networks you’d personally recommend for email (even if they're a bit more selective)?

And yeah, I’ve already learnt the hard way about burning domains Suppression and clean unsub process is definitely on my checklist.

Appreciate the help man!

Best,
Jyoti

Hey there,

With your background and your own sending setup, you’re already ahead of most beginners.

For fast approval + email-friendly offers, these are the ones people usually start with:

ClickBank – Still one of the easiest for instant access. Digital products and IM offers convert okay with email if the list is decent.
JVZoo – Also quick approval on many offers. Good for digital products and MMO-type stuff.
Digistore24 – Solid option, especially if you have EU traffic. Approval is usually fast.

ShareASale and most big CPA networks are stricter and slower, so not the best if you want to move quickly.

Main things to watch:
- Stick to offers that allow email marketing (check the terms)
- Keep proper unsubscribe + clean list practices so your sending setup doesn’t get into trouble
- Start with a few offers and test what actually converts on your list

Since you already have a reliable sending system, focus more on offer selection and list quality than on the technical side.

What niches are you planning to push first?

Hey bro,

With real email experience and your own sending setup, you’re in a better position than most people starting out.

For fast approval and email-friendly offers, these usually work well:

ClickBank – Still one of the easiest for instant access. Digital and IM offers can convert if the list is clean.
JVZoo – Quick approval on many products, good for digital/MMO.
Digistore24 – Fast approval and decent for email, especially with mixed traffic.

For the big CPAs, I'll say - ShareASale and most CPA networks are slower and stricter, so not ideal if you want to move fast.

A few practical tips:
- Always check if the offer allows email traffic
- Keep your list clean and follow proper unsubscribe rules
- Test small first before scaling

Since you already have a sending system, the main thing now is picking the right offers and protecting your deliverability. A lot of people run into issues when the SMTP starts getting blocked, so having a stable setup makes a big difference.

What niches are you planning to focus on first?

Avoid Digistore24 & Clickbank at all costs because they will most likely steal your sales unless you are a well known affiliate with big traffic.
 
Hey is_ghoul,

Thanks for the detailed reply — really helpful.

You’re right, having real email experience + my own sending setup already puts me ahead of most beginners. I’ll start with ClickBank and Digistore24 for the fast approval, and test a few JVZoo offers as well.

A couple of quick questions if you don’t mind:
  • Any niches or gravity ranges on CB/Digistore you’ve seen work reasonably well with email lately (without burning the list too fast)?
  • When checking if an offer allows email traffic, do most vendors still clearly state it, or is it more of a “test carefully” situation these days?
Also saw the later comment about ClickBank/Digistore possibly eating sales for smaller affiliates. Have you personally run into missing commissions or high refunds on either platform?

Appreciate the advice man.

Best,
Jyoti

Hey jebbyhh79,

Appreciate you jumping in with the advice.

Yeah, the sending system and double opt-in lists are solid, so now it’s mainly about picking the right offers and protecting deliverability. ClickBank + Digistore24 look like the fastest way to get moving, with JVZoo as a backup for digital/MMO stuff.

Quick ones for you:
  • Any specific verticals or offers on those platforms that have been converting okay with email recently?
  • Do you usually just check the terms for email allowance, or is it more about testing small and watching the refund rate?
Also noticed the warning about ClickBank and Digistore potentially stealing sales if you’re not a big affiliate. Have you experienced anything like that yourself, or seen it happen a lot?

Thanks again for the tips.

Best,
Jyoti
