    1<\/em> Don\u2019t Rely on One Affiliate Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cNever put all your eggs in one basket\u201d <\/em>is wise advice for Easter egg hunts, financial portfolios\u2026 and, believe it or not, affiliate marketers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Relying on a single affiliate program for most of your income is risky, as you’re at the mercy of the company’s decisions and financial stability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here are some of the biggest risks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/path><\/svg><\/span>The company can abruptly change its terms. <\/strong>Your affiliate partner usually has full authority to lower commission rates, shorten cookie durations, or shut down the program. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/path><\/svg><\/span>The company can go under. <\/strong>If a company is struggling financially, they may refuse to send payments. If you\u2019re owed commissions, you\u2019re out of luck, as suing the company usually costs more than the commissions are worth. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/path><\/svg><\/span>The owner can sell the company. <\/strong>I had a site earning a steady $800 per month \u2013 $500 of which was from a single product. The owner sold the company, and the new owner discontinued the affiliate program. I lost 66% of my revenue overnight. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Industry data supports the importance of multiple programs \u2014 affiliate marketers who earn at least $10,000 per month use at least 3 affiliate networks<\/a>, according to our affiliate marketing stats page. <\/p>\n\n\n

    \n\n
    \ud83d\udca1 Pro Tip:<\/strong> If you’re focusing on a single affiliate program, have backup affiliate partners waiting in the wings in case something goes awry with your main revenue source. \ud83d\udc49 Check our list of the Best Affiliate Marketing Programs<\/a>.<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

    2<\/em> Focus on the Conversion Rate, Not the Commission Amount<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    A high commission is meaningless if no one buys the affiliate product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The conversion rate is often more important than the potential commission for affiliate sales.<\/p>\n\n\n
