7 High Paying Affiliate Programs (2018)
Affiliate Marketing, Online Opportunities

pair of dice representing high paying affiliate programs

It is almost unbelievable to think that there are some high paying affiliate programs out there, that you can earn a few thousand dollars from…

…for just a single sale!

Honestly, just thinking about it now, it blows my tiny mind!

In this post I have listed 7 (actually 8) top paying affiliate programs across different niches that you could potentially be promoting by the end of the day.

That’s the end of the day, today!
But isn’t there’s a catch!

High ticket affiliate programs…

…or,

low ticket affiliate programs…

…isn’t it a lot easier to sell cheap stuff rather than expensive stuff?

Well no, it isn’t.
Bottom line?

High ticket or low ticket…

…it’s still all about what affiliate marketing was, and always will be about (go ahead and read this previous article if you’re unsure what affiliate marketing is about)…

    promoting the right product through a compelling offer, at the right time, to the right niche.

Some people simply cannot get their head around just how much money other people will happily invest in their health, their education, self-improvement, business solutions etc.

Successful people invest in themselves and their businesses, and they do it repeatedly.

Cheap people never want to pay for anything, ever.

Who would you rather be promoting to?
How To Use This List Of High Ticket Affiliate Programs

Keep in mind that whilst I spent a lot of time sorting through affiliate offers, I wasn’t able to review all of what’s potentially available out there.

Definitely do your own research, all the commission payments mentioned are correct at the time of writing, but you never know when a program might change how it operates and what it pays out.

If you see a program that fits into a niche that you’re already in, or one you’re maybe looking to enter, why hold back? These are some of the best paying affiliate programs..sign-up and get involved.

Here’s the list:
1. Hammacher Schlemmer

I absolutely love this store and online catalogue. They stock some crazy stuff, some of which is also crazy expensive.

If you are not familiar with the company, the name Hammacher Schlemmer is well known for innovation and they are America’s longest running catalogue.

Hammacher Schlemmer offer high-quality products at their New York store, online and through their Affiliate Network.

Affiliates earn 8% commissions.

Now I know that an 8% commission doesn’t really sound all that high-ticket, but just take a look at the price of some of their products:
Affiliate Commission Examples:

    Item12332: Mixed Martial Arts Trainer – Price $7,000 x 8% affiliate commission of $560
    Item12533: Amphibious ATV – Price $49,000 x 8% affiliate commission of $3,920
    Item12245: Golf Cart Hovercraft – Price $58,000 x 8% affiliate commission of $4,640

2. Max Bounty

max bounty high paying affiliate program

MaxBounty is an affiliate network, and one of the best affiliate networks.

It’s affiliate program is pretty exclusive, so it’s a lot harder to join than most affiliate networks.

But…

…this exclusivity also means they are paying some of the best commissions in the industry.

They also boast possibly the best affiliate tracking software and rapid payment system of all the affiliate networks.

MaxBounty are just as choosy when it comes to the offers that they will make available. Only high quality products makes it onto the network.

Website: maxbounty.com

Affiliate Sign-up: MaxBounty require all new affiliates to complete an Application Form, once completed you will receive a call for an interview, if you pass the interview you’ll be able to promote their offers.

Because there is an interview you will need to have some affiliate marketing knowledge in your locker to get accepted.

Because of this it’s probably not the best of affiliate programs for beginners, but it’s not a super-tough interview so don’t sweat it. If you are a total newbie you might want to have a quick read of my article on how affiliate marketing works before the phone rings…find it here.
3. The Six Figure Mentors / Digital Experts Academy

Now, we better get this out in the open right from the start…

…The Six Figure Mentors/Digital Experts Academy (SFM/DEA) affiliate programs are not free affiliate programs. So if you’re the sort of person who has a problem with paying for stuff, you should move right along to number 4 sharpish.

This will cost you money to get involved with…

…but, they do pay out handsomely!

There is an awful lot to the SFM/DEA, far too much to go into in this post. I’ve written a full review on the SFM side of the business that you can read here (just keep in mind that the article doesn’t go into the DEA which is a another level up again in potential affiliate commissions).

It’s probably enough to say in this post, that it is a unique training platform, mentorship platform, digital business system and…

…high-ticket affiliate program, paying some of the highest commissions that I know of.

4. Regal Assets

Regal Assets help individual investors add physical precious metals to their investment portfolios.

I don’t know about you but that already has the ring of a highly profitable niche to me.

Founded in 2009 with the goal of simplifying, innovating and rejuvenating the precious metals investment landscape, just a few years later the company was ranked #20 in the U.S. by INC 500 in the financial services category.
Key points of Regal Assets high paying affiliate program:

    Average gold investment on regalassets.com $20,000-$ 80,000
    For introduced sales you will earn 3% affiliate commission – that’s a cool $1,500 on a mid-range $50,000 sale
    Life time commission, your referrals are yours for life so you get paid for all their future purchases
    Additional $100 per lead as ‘super-affiliate’
    2-Tier Affiliate Structure so you get paid when affiliates that you introduce make sales
    Affiliate tools and support are available

Investing in precious metals is not going to appeal to everyone, but the niches out there that do find it attractive will have a decent amount of money to invest.

The amount of the average investment is what makes this one of the best paying affiliate programs out there.

5. ConvertKit

Features like this help in making ConvertKit a pretty easy sale if you are in the right niche.

The program pays out 30% affiliate commission and the commission per introduction can go up to $600 per month.

Not too shabby at all, if you can get a handful of referrals under your belt those commissions will soon be looking pretty healthy as they roll into your affiliate account.

The affiliate program of SEMrush, the industry leading all-in-one SEO tool.

SEMrush is a brilliant tool for online business owners and SEO professionals…

…that benefits users in the following areas:

    Find profitable keywords for your blog
    Spy on your competitor’s backlinks and SEO strategies
    Website SEO audit and ideas to rank higher in SERP’s

You can earn 40% commission for all newly acquired SEMrush subscription purchases that come through your link.

With the current products pricing, that’s affiliate commissions in your pocket of between $39.98 and $159.98 per sale, and thereafter per active customer each month.

I’m sure you’ve already figured this out for yourself, but that’s income from just 10 active referrals of between $399 to $1599 per month in commissions. Now that’s pretty good passive income and in my opinion makes this one of the best affiliate marketing programs around.
