Affiliate Networks for Beginners
Networks aggregate merchants and often provide shared tracking and payments.
Convenience
One account can provide access to multiple programs.
Direct programs differ
Economics and support can vary.
Evaluation
Merchant quality, reporting, geography and payout rules matter.
Do not join everything
Program count is not a performance metric.
Practical rule: Build one clear audience → offer → traffic → conversion path before adding complexity. For a commercial example, see our Jonathan Montoya review.
