How many affiliate programs do you work with?

[Cardy007]

Id like some feedback on how many affiliate programs I should look to join to be successful?

Being succesful has nothing to do with the number of affiliate programmes you sign up with. If you have signed up at 100 affiliate programmes but are not getting any traffic and new depositors, what is that worth?

I have about 40 or 50 signups in my life, from that maybe from 30, I ever got money. Maybe 20 I am getting some money now. Maybe 15 I actively promote and I feel it is way too much even with employees (even when it is not my fulltime job).

If you want to do your job, keep checking that everything is ok, keep evaluating if their scamming is still bearable etc, aim to as little accounts as possible.

And btw the players do not want a wide choice as well. They want to gamble.

If you don't have a lot of traffic, then a handful of decent programs is enough to get started.

You really only need a small number of reputable and competent casino affiliate programs to work with. I’m only diligently promoting about 10 programs. wolfie also makes a good point in his post.

I have most out there but its a full time hassle to keep up with, on the good side when you get bent over the table with fortune affiliates, Buffalo partners, William hill excetera its ony 5% of my income

[TheGooner]

I get 90% of my earnings from 4 partners.

I work wth around 25.. however about 10 get most of the traffic depending on country.

Chose 5 to start with, that's more than enough choice for your visitors and it has several advantages for you:
- makes it simpler to handle it (aff-links, payments ect)
- should increase your overall revenues (rev share is usually tiered and depends on # of FTD per month)
- you get relatively more important for the aff program and might get special treatment (custom landing pages, better deal than advertised etc)

We work with 27 but earn more from 5 than all the rest put together.

It's important to not put all your eggs in one basket, but it is also true that you should choose your partners carefully. I tend to play the longer game by working more closely with brands that are good at retention, even if I could get higher sign up / initial revenue numbers elsewhere.

You need to accept many partnerships will not work out, even end up costing you money, but that is part and parcel of the game.

You also need to choose the number of programs to fit your sites, e.g. do you have a 'top 10 table'? If so you would want to promote 10+ brands....
