Adword Frustration on Finding affiliate programs

[andla]

Hi!

I have some problem finding Affiliate Networks like ClickBank. I want to have some networks to choose from to find program with little competition.
There are a dozen of Affiliate Netwoks but I have not found any network that is as good as ClickBank.
Why?
ClickBank offer any affiliate to start right away.
They pay both affiliates and vendors and take care of the payment and you can start right away when assigned to an affiliate program.
What would be very valuable is a list of Affiliate Networks that is similar to clickbank.

Here are a list of common problems when signing up on affiliate networks:

*Just a list of vendors (no payment handling)
*Dozen of fields regarding my website (I'm not using one)
*My e-mail must not be free web based (hotmail, yahoo)
*Becoming an affiliate for the affiliate network(not the vendors)

I tried Commission Junction and I have one program running that is not doing well. So I sign up for two others. Both have pending status. So how do you handle this pending frustration? Should I just pick about 50 programs and assign to them so that some of them become enabled for instant run? Or would that make me dig my own grave?

Please give me a comment on this.

Sincerely
Andla

It helps to have some kind of website, a real email address, and there are plenty of merchants in CJ, etc..

Unless merchants have their accounts set to autoapproval, they will probably be a lot less likely to approve an affiliate with no website and a free email address.

That is true.

Also, it is not a good idea to just pick about 50 programs offered at cj and not to promote them once you get approval. If at a certain point in the future one of them comes up with a hot product, chances are the vendor won't allow you to sign up for a second time (suggesting your first "active status" has been auto-terminated after a couple of months simply because you failed to promote any of their products)

Further more, I advise you to send them a personal message, explaining why and how you manage to promote their products without the use of a website. You might show them a record of your previous successes.

BTW, don't use free email addresses. They turn me down as well!

Hope this helps

Is there a way to find those with auto approval?

Just have to apply, there are lots on auto approval.
