1. Commission Junction – One of the most popular affiliate networks in the world, Commission Junction is set up in a category system that allows marketers to find the exact brands they’re interested in promoting, connecting the creators of those products with people who can offset some of the promotional-effort burden that marketing a new product requires.

3. ClickBank – Marketers in search of a product to promote often turn to ClickBank, which is one of the largest and most well-known affiliate networks for digital content creators.
