If you have a website in South Africa, no doubt you’ve tried earning money with it.

Most people who’ve been doing it a while tend to agree that your best bet is to do Affiliate Marketing, so signing up for an affiliate program is DEFINITELY something you want to do.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Generally speaking, if you become an affiliate marketer for a specific company, then you can earn commission for every sale that YOU refer.

For example, let’s say you have a website about dogs, and you get quite a few visitors who read your information about dogs. You could become an affiliate of Kalahari.net, and any visitor who clicks an appropriate link on your site and gets sent to Kalahari.net, and then BUYS something, like a book about dog training, from Kalahari.net, you will earn commission.

Affiliate Programs in South Africa

In the interest of making a profit while everybody gets a piece of the action, I thought I would list the Affiliate Programs I use as a South African.

OfferForge

The first, and most obvious, in my mind probably because it was the first one I joined.

OfferForge is an affiliate network that has quite a few products that they allow you to promote. As with all affiliate programs, there are a LOT of casino and gambling affiliate deals, but for me, the best paying campaign is the OUTsurance affiliate campaign.

So, go sign up with them by clicking this link: OfferForge Sign Up

Traffic Synergy

For some reason, my traffic seems to convert better with Traffic Synergy, (except for my OUTsurance campaigns, those seem to work better on OfferForge).

I’ve also had a great personal experience with Traffic Synergy, and recommend them.

They have similar promotions to OfferForge, but I guess that’s not surprising considering the limited “stock” of companies USING affiliate programs in South Africa.

So, sign up using this link: Traffic Synergy Sign Up

Mantality

The Mantality affiliate program isn’t a network like the above options, but rather an online merchant with a direct affiliate program (not through an affiliate network).

You’d need a specific type of visitor to your site to promote Mantality because their products can be a little risque (penis enlargers, anyone?).

But the commission tends to be really good and the conversion rate is REALLY good. I still have no idea why

Go check them out first and see what you think: Mantality website

Kalahari.net

Similar to Mantality, Kalahari.net has an affiliate program for their own store.

I can’t say I’ve had too much luck with them, but I don’t really have the right audience to make them a Kalahari.net customer.

Maybe you do?

Conclusions

If you’ve worked with any of these companies and have something to say, please contact me. I am curious to know how it went.

And, if you know of any more affiliate programs, contact me as well because I can’t get enough of them
