I have already mentioned that there are a lot of affiliate programs available for any niche you can think of. To show you some examples, here are ten you just might have missed. Some of these can be good alternatives to Amazon.com’s program and just might pay more for the products you promote. Others are more niche related.

Finding More
These 10 affiliate programs are just a sample. Most of the top retailers have programs and more are being added every day. Here are a few more that I found with just a few minutes searching:
Macy’s, JC Penny, Lowe's, Home Depot, Sam’s Club, Nordstrom, Trip Advisor, Sandals Resorts, Starbucks… the list could go on and on.
I found many of these by doing Google searches for “name of company” affiliate program. Affiliate programs are everywhere so, as an affiliate marketeer, you should always be on the look out for them.
Some of these programs might reject a newcomer’s site because the traffic isn’t high enough for them. Just keep those in mind for when your visitor count booms. Come back and try again if you get rejected the first time.
