I recently discovered that you can use VirusTotal subdomain lookup to find affiliate programs built on tools like FirstPromoter, Rewardful, Tapfiliate, and Tolt. This surfaces a huge number of SaaS affiliate programs that most people never find, many of which offer recurring commissions. Has...

Your advice is very important to me. I've already collected a lot of these smaller affiliate programs, and I'm preparing to spend my own hard-earned money testing them. Some of these programs could be gone tomorrow.

You may have misunderstood what I mean. When it comes to paid advertising, I see two different levels of restrictions: The brand does not allow any PPC traffic at all. In other words, affiliates are not allowed to send traffic from paid search advertising under any circumstances. This is the...

I've been building a list of recurring SaaS affiliate programs by using the footprints of affiliate management software platforms including Rewardful, Tolt, FirstPromoter, and Tapfiliate. Most programs on these platforms are beginner friendly and pretty easy to get approved for. My plan is to...

PartnerStack still has a bit of a barrier for beginners. Honestly the affiliate programs running on software like Rewardful and Tolt are the ones that are truly beginner friendly, you sign up and you're in instantly. And most of them are SaaS with lifetime commissions.

If you're just starting out with no traffic proof, most mainstream networks like Impact will flat out reject you. Based on my own testing, the easiest ones to get into are: PartnerStack — requires a website and LinkedIn, but as a complete beginner I got my approval email within a few days...

Over the past couple of days I sat down and worked through the numbers on paper. Running Google Ads directly to affiliate offers, no funnel, no email list, no retargeting. Just looking at keyword bids in the US market against recurring SaaS affiliate program earnings. Using a mathematical model...

Reading through the comments from some of the guys above really gave me a lot of confidence. I've been deep in research on Google Ads combined with affiliate marketing for the past six months. I know this strategy is considered a ten year old playbook at this point, and it's pretty hard to find...

Where is it? I can't find it anywhere.

Honestly the biggest thing I've learned recently is that as a beginner, if I want to test SaaS affiliate programs, I no longer have to run around everywhere trying to find networks or programs that will actually approve a newbie. What I can do now is look for common footprints on affiliate...

If budget is tight, there's a free combo that covers part of what you need: Google Ads Transparency Center — lets you see competitors' actual ad copy and creatives. Not keyword-level data, but useful for understanding their messaging angle. Google Keyword Planner (Start with a website) — paste...

Does Bing have anything similar to Google Keyword Planner?

Tks, bookmarked it. I'll test them out one by one and then write them up on my blog.

Do i need to show traffic proof? Is it easy for beginners to get approved?

Right now I'm only using Google Ads to promote SaaS affiliate products. I'm just testing direct traffic straight to my landing page, no funnel at all. The main goal is to validate some of my assumptions. So honestly brother, turning a profit at this stage is pretty unlikely. But I'm not looking...

Thanks for the kind words, bro. Yeah things have changed a lot. Ten years ago you could run pretty sloppy campaigns and still make good money. Now media buying actually takes real skill. It's a whole different game. The spray and pray approach is basically dead, you're not gonna profit from it...

the CPCs I've been seeing in Google Ads for my affiliate keywords are just insane. Your post really got me thinking though, why haven't I tried Bing Ads? That's such an obvious move. Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.

Paid traffic is short-term trading, organic traffic is long-term investing. That's exactly how it looks through a finance lens. And on top of that, organic traffic has a compounding effect.

Appreciate the input. The discount thing I can confirm 100% from my own test — that was actually one of the reasons my first account got flagged. One thing worth clarifying though bridge page isn't actually a term Google uses in their official documentation. The term they use is "doorway pages."...

Before you can promote SaaS products, you first need to get approved for their affiliate programs. These days, many SaaS affiliate programs are not very beginner-friendly. The most widely used SaaS affiliate network is PartnerStack. I was able to get approved when I was just starting out, but...
