Fellow Affiliate Marketers Make Some Money
A question I commonly see asked on sites like Reddit and Quora, and also a question I’m often asked… is what are the best Cryptocurrency Affiliate Programs out there? Right now I’m seeing a lot of people wanting to get into doing CPA or Affiliate Marketing offers in the crypto space.
My first response is always that it’s going to be slow right now. I’ve sold crypto tee shirts and done crypto affiliate marketing and when the markets are doing well your profits are doing well, and as soon as the market turns south affiliate earnings and tee shirt sales go with it. People are only excited about crypto when it’s Lambo time.
While possibly nothing will ever match the end of 2017 for crypto fever, I’m sure crypto will come back in price and the interest will return so it may be wise to get in now when most people aren’t paying too much attention to it. Start ranking in Google, start getting a library of content created and when the market comes back reap the rewards.
The 3 Best Cryptocurrency Affiliate Programs
When it comes to affiliate marketing I’ll oftentimes go with a bigger name or more established company over a startup that people don’t know and trust. While the commissions may not be quite as large, consumers trust that company and will signup and I know I’m going to be paid and some company isn’t just going to stop paying commissions and run off. Here’s my top 3 Crypto Affiliate Programs
Coinbase
While we’re beginning to see more competition in the space, for years Coinbase just about had a monopoly on the crypto to fiat marketplace and was definitely the easiest gateway for casual people new to crypto. Coinbase’s affiliate program pays out $10 per sign-up when the user deposits over $100. Towards the end of 2017 it seemed every Youtuber, blogger and influencer regardless of their niche was all the sudden making Coinbase affiliate videos. The crypto craze of 2017 was insane and there was a lot of money to be made. While millions of people have signed up for Coinbase accounts adoption is still at an incredibly small percent so if crypto comes back and garners some attention this is still a great affiliate program to promote as Coinbase is the most likely avenue for new arrivals to crypto to get started.
Binance
The Binance affiliate program used to be better. It started off at 50% commission split on fees made by Binance. As most new companies do they offer very attractive affiliate offers early on and overtime either shorten cookie periods or lower commissions. As always happens Binance lowered their commissions to 20%. To further hurt commissions most people got wise to the fact that if you hold and use BNB or the native Binance token to pay fees they would be substantlly lower so now you’re only getting a commission on a very small percentage commission in Binance fees. None the less this program pays you for life so it’s passive income. If you can build up a good number of sign-ups under you you’ll be paid for the life of those accounts which is why I still consider the Binance affiliate program to be a great one.
Voyager
Now this one at least in the short term is going to be AMAZING. First off the exchange, it’s a no fee exchange and markets itself as being an institutional grade platform in a mobile application. Looks pretty cool but that’s not our main concern. The exchange has a great affiliate program or referral program going on right now. First off when you sign-up for an account which is a precursor to getting your affiliate link you get $25 so anyone you sign-up gets a free $25 in Bitcoin which is a huge benefit to them. You also earn a $25 commission for the referral. As we know with all affiliate programs, they start off amazing when the company is new and trying to build a name and slowly degrade so it’s important to get in early and make your money while you can. Use this link to get $25 in Free Bitcoin and sign-up for the affiliate program yourself. Then share your link on social media, in a Youtube video, etc and watch the money roll in. Also for those of you who are actually legitimately interested in cryptocurrency it does look like it’s going to be a decent platform so probably worth checking out.
Other Notable Mentions
So those are probably my top 3 crypto affiliate programs however I’ve also made some money with Trezor and Ledgers affiliate programs as well as using Amazon Associates links to promote some crypto books and products. Always make sure to check affiliates terms before signing up and committing to promoting a program. While I love the Trezor product and they paid decently, they had an incredibly high payout threshold which means some people will never get paid.
