Australian affiliate programs have seen a ton of growth in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to IAB Australia\u2019s<\/a> 2022 Affiliate and Marketing Partnership report, 69% of advertisers spent more on affiliate marketing in the previous 12 months, while 68% planned to increase their investment over the following year further.<\/p>\n\n\n Guess where a lot of that money will end up? In affiliate marketers\u2019 pockets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n But there are no guarantees in the affiliate marketing business. To succeed, you need to find affiliate products your audience will love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To help you out, we\u2019ve rounded up 10 of the best Australian affiliate programs and networks. Whether you plan to promote products through social media channels, an email marketing list<\/a>, your own website, or as an influencer, these options will help you make money online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We don\u2019t pretend to know much about rocket science or brain surgery, but we definitely <\/em>understand affiliate marketing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve been building and monetizing authority sites across multiple niches<\/a> for more than a decade now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Along the way, we\u2019ve shared countless best practices and case studies<\/a> to help thousands more affiliate marketers make money through The Authority Site System<\/a> and our free training<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n Amazon<\/a> is Australia\u2019s second-most popular ecommerce marketplace<\/a>, generating over 63 million visits<\/a> per month. A 2021 survey revealed that 44% of Australians<\/a> made at least one purchase from Amazon in the previous 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You already know Amazon sells pretty much everything, with categories from electronics to interior decor to pantry food. As of January 2018, the number of products listed on Amazon Australia stood at 24.7 million<\/a> \u2014 a number that\u2019s almost certainly grown since then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company\u2019s affiliate program is called Amazon Associates<\/a>. Its commission rates vary across product categories and are regularly updated, currently ranging from just 1% on video game hardware to 12% on apparel and shoes (click here<\/a> for an up-to-date list of Amazon\u2019s Australian commission rates).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amazon also runs frequent \u201cbounty events\u201d paying fixed commissions for specific actions. For instance, it\u2019s currently offering a US$4 bounty on Amazon Prime free trials. Again, these bounty events change constantly, so check back for an up-to-date list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As well as Amazon Associates, the ecommerce giant has a separate program<\/a> for influencers with established audiences on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok<\/a>, and\/or YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Commissions are paid monthly on a NET 60 basis via bank transfer, check, or Amazon gift certificate. Both Amazon Associates and the Amazon Influencer Program<\/a> have 24-hour cookie windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Think Amazon Associates could be the affiliate program for you<\/em>? Check out our in-depth Amazon Affiliate Program review<\/a> and our guide on How to Become an Amazon Affiliate<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n eBay<\/a> is Australia\u2019s most popular ecommerce website<\/a>, even outranking the almighty Amazon. Almost two-thirds of Aussies<\/a> bought at least one item from eBay in the 12 months to June 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While it started as an online auction site for predominantly second-hand goods, eBay is now a full-blown ecommerce marketplace. It has 1.4 billion live product listings at any given time \u2014 80% for new merchandise<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company\u2019s affiliate program is officially known as the eBay Partner Network. Like Amazon Associates, it pays varying commissions across product categories, ranging from 1% on real estate to 4% on fashion and motoring (find an up-to-date list here<\/a>). It also has a 24-hour cookie window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bear in mind that some eBay products \u2014 such as items sold by charities or through special promos \u2014 earn eBay little or no revenue and are therefore non-commissionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n eBay<\/a> affiliate partners can leverage various tools to help them drive traffic and sales. These include regular promotional deals, detailed reporting, and category-specific creatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Etsy<\/a> is an ecommerce marketplace specializing in unique \u2014 often handcrafted \u2014 products across various categories, including clothing, home decor, jewelry, and personalized gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The site is used by about 7.5 million active sellers<\/a>, with Australia accounting for about 7% of all non-US Etsy merchants<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike eBay and Amazon, Etsy\u2019s affiliate marketing program pays a flat 5% commission for any sales originating from your affiliate link. It offers a 30-day cookie window, which is pretty generous for a big ecommerce marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As an Etsy affiliate partner, you can access multilingual support in English, French, Italian, Spanish, and German. Etsy\u2019s affiliate program<\/a> also offers a wealth of tools and resources, from category-specific creatives to a regular affiliate marketing newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fiverr<\/a> is yet another marketplace. But unlike eBay, Amazon, and Etsy, it specializes in digital <\/em>products sold by a global army of freelancers, ranging from graphic design and copywriting to web development and data science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some Fiverr vendors even offer professional services, like architecture and interior design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over four million active buyers<\/a> use the platform to fulfill their freelance needs. While most are smaller businesses, Fiverr attracts a handful of household names, including Facebook, Google, and Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fiverr\u2019s affiliate program<\/a> offers various ways to earn commissions, including two distinct commission structures. Fiverr CPA<\/strong> offers bounty payments of US$15 \u2013 US$150 per sale, varying by product category, while Fiverr Hybrid<\/strong> pays a fixed US$10 CPA and 10% recurring commissions for 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Beyond that, it offers three further ways to make money online:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As if that wasn\u2019t enough, Fiverr also <\/em>runs a dedicated influencer program<\/a> open to affiliates with 5,000+ followers. It pays up to 100% higher commissions than \u201cstandard\u201d Fiverr programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All of Fiverr\u2019s affiliate marketing programs have 30-day cookie windows and pay commissions of under US$1,000 via Payoneer or PayPal, with a US$100 payment threshold. Balances of US$1,000+ are paid via wire transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Commission Factory<\/a> is an affiliate network for advertisers and publishers in Australia, New Zealand<\/a>, Malaysia, and Singapore<\/a>. Since September 2020, it\u2019s been owned by Awin<\/a>, another affiliate network and part of the Axel Springer and United Internet groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The platform is home to over 600 brands across retail, fashion, beauty, telecoms, and travel, with up to 10 new advertisers joining weekly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All types of publishers are welcome to join Commission Factory, whether you own a website, write a blog, run a mobile app, or even manage a Facebook fan page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whatever promotional channel you leverage, advertisers on the network pay an average commission of 8% \u2013 10%, although this varies across different brands and verticals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Commissions are paid weekly via PayPal, bank transfer, check, or prepaid MasterCard in 150 currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Commission Factory affiliates can leverage a wealth of promotional tools and resources, including text links, banners, coupon codes, data feeds, email templates, and premade videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Awin<\/a> is a major affiliate network. As we\u2019ve already noted, it\u2019s part of the Axel Springer and United Internet groups, which also own two other affiliate networks \u2014 Commission Factory and ShareASale<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Awin network has 16,500 brands on its books across various sectors, including retail, travel, telecoms, and insurance. Approximately 260 affiliates join the network daily \u2014 no doubt attracted by Awin paying out USUS$1.4 billion in commissions last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Awin isn\u2019t just massive<\/em>; it\u2019s also extremely popular. The company was named Publishers\u2019 Choice of Network<\/a> at the Performance Marketing Awards 14 times in just 16 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As well as its standard affiliate offering, Awin operates a dedicated influencer platform for people like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Influencers can access special commission models such as \u201cpayment on influence,\u201d which pays a fixed sum whenever you\u2019re partially involved in a sale. That means you don\u2019t need to win the last click to earn commissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Awin affiliate partners can access various publisher resources, including a tool that automatically converts a regular website link into a trackable affiliate link. The network also offers dedicated local support, including advice from experts in the fashion, telecoms, travel, and influencer sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Partnerize<\/a> is an affiliate network that works with hundreds of global brands across multiple verticals, including retail, travel, and financial services. It also owns Pepperjam<\/a>, a separate affiliate network with a portfolio of 1,000+ retail and D2C brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Founded in 2010, Partnerize has generated $7 billion in sales over the past decade-and-a-bit, paying $600 million in commissions annually to its affiliate partners. Commissions are accessible within 24 hours of client authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Partnerize works with a wide range of affiliate partners, from traditional content and website-based affiliates to influencers, tech partners, and even brands looking to team up with other <\/em>brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The affiliate network employs a dedicated partnerships team who provide training, support, and growth ideas. Its brand discovery tools make it simple for affiliates to find relevant affiliate programs and apply in just a few clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CJ Affiliate<\/a> is one of the world\u2019s biggest and oldest affiliate networks, launching back in 1998. It works with a host of top advertisers, with twice as many IR500 brands<\/a> using the network than its nearest competitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n CJ pays out over US$1.8 billion in commissions yearly to affiliate partners, so there\u2019s no shortage of earning potential here. The network reaches over a billion customers monthly and generates more than 14 billion \u201cmeaningful interactions\u201d a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The affiliate sign-up process is simple, as described in our CJ Affiliate review<\/a>. Once approved, you can enjoy one-click access to individual affiliate programs, allowing you to start promoting and earning fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like most affiliate networks, CJ is happy to work with a range of publishers, from social media users and influencers to email marketers, bloggers, and vloggers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The network offers various performance-boosting resources, including a tool that automatically converts an existing website URL into a special link for tracking purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Impact<\/a> is another of the major affiliate marketing platforms, working with 2,500+ advertisers across various niches, from beauty and fitness to travel and retail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company is best known as an affiliate network, but it\u2019s also open to content creators and influencers, who are allowed to negotiate terms and choose the platforms they wish to monetize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Impact\u2019s advanced tracking technology allows affiliates to earn commissions from more than just sales. Whether you\u2019re driving travel bookings, app installs, or even phone calls, there\u2019s a payment model to fit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The platform also gives affiliate partners access to personalized discounts, allowing you to earn commissions from all sales generated via your unique coupon code. Even if a customer finds your code on a different website, you get rewarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rakuten<\/a> is a Japanese-owned tech conglomerate that operates an affiliate network specializing in D2C, finance, retail, and travel affiliate programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over 150,000 active publishers have joined the network, thanks partly to Rakuten\u2019s network development team, which scours the web for prospective brand and affiliate partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The company is highly regarded in the affiliate space, winning the mThink award<\/a> for top affiliate marketing network 11 years in a row based on a survey of over 25,000 advertisers, publishers, and agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
