Hello there Sea Changers. Welcome back to my series of program lists to assist those of you looking to fund your sea change with affiliate marketing.

Today we are going to take a wander into the diet and lifestyle niche with a look at my best 10 Paleo diet affiliate program options to chew on this year. Interest in this niche has a decent following online with over 38000 searches per month undertaken. There are also a number of sub niche possibilities here as well so with a little work, this could be one that can be turned into quite a lucrative little online business.
- Paleo Plan

- Paleo Treats
- Pete's Paleo
- Eatology
- Araza

That's right! Wealthy Affiliate provided me with all of the tools and training I needed to get this post in front of my audience - a.k.a YOU!
You too can start your very own online business here that can make you money from anywhere in the world!!
Before we begin however, I am conscious that there are a number of different areas or sub niches within this subject hence the quantity of affiliate programs to choose from may be just as large. So how have I picked my best 10? Well… I really just wanted to give you a good cross section of what is out there so I did some searching around and checked a few out and chose them by looking at:
- What they offer
- Commission rates
- Payment terms
- Cookie duration
- Application processes
- Affiliate/Marketing materials provided
Paleo Diet Affiliate Programs
Stats show that people will spend money on paleo products online if it can make their lives easier so as long as you are meeting their needs and solving problems, then you are on the right track. And to give you a boost, let's have a look at 10 programs that I have found below:
1. Paleo Plan
Ok, let's start with Paleo Plan. Paleo Plan is an all encompassing site aimed at assisting those who are looking to transition into a paleo lifestyle. Their site does appear to be aimed at this outcome first and sales second with many e-books, information posts, recipes and programs offered free of charge. Their saleable product range however is quite solid with a subscription service covering both meal plans and fitness regimes as well as a couple of e-books.
Although their product range is not huge, I see this as a good site to base a generalist paleo niche around or as a must add to any niche aimed at the Paleo lifestyle or assisting those new to it. There is so much here to assist in terms of reader information, blog post ideas and obviously the promotion of their programs and e-Books. And, as promoted on their website, there is also opportunity for those in any of the health, weight-loss, nutrition, fitness, clean eating, gluten free, diabetes, pain and recovery, mental health, meditation niches.

2. Vita Cost
Our next site is Vitacost, an all encompassing site that whilst not specifically aimed at the Paleo lifestyle, carries a large range of paleo foods including:
- dietary supplements (vitamins, minerals and herbs),
- hard-to-find specialty foods,
- organic body and personal care products,
- pet essentials
- sports nutrition products
This list above probably doesn't do the site justice but all in all, there are so many paleo related products here that it would make a great one to base your paleo related affiliate marketing business around. And for those looking to add Paleo products to more generalist diet niche sites, there is also just as large a range of Vegan, Organic, Gluten Free and Non GMO products as well as access to some pretty good-looking recipes as well.
Commission Rate: Not Stated
Payment Terms: Monthly
Cookie Duration: Not Stated
Application required?: Yes, Vitacost's affiliate program is managed by CJ Affiliates. You will be required to apply for an account then for the Vitacost affiliate program. You will need to enter personal and website information as well as promotional plans and platforms to be used.
Marketing material provided: Text links, banners, product feeds
3. Paleo Treats
Paleo Treats is a cool little site that bases itself on a small range of Paleo inspired treats such as tarts, biscuits and slices etc. that can be purchased in packs of 12 to 48. There is however so much more to the site with a large array of paleo products such as
- Bread
- Jam
- Granola
- Cake
- Tortillas
- Coffee
- Snack bars
As well a range of e-books and recipe books and merchandise. There is also a smaller range of Vegan products for those looking to add to their niche site as well.
There is probably not enough on this site to base an entire affiliate marketing site around however there is also an added opportunity with their subscription service giving your readers to opportunity to receive treats and staples on a monthly basis.
Commission Rate: 15%
Payment Terms: Monthly
Cookie Duration: 30 Days
Application required?: Yes, the Paleo Treats affiliate program is managed by Reversion. You will be required to apply for an account then for the Paleo Treats affiliate program. You will need to enter personal and website information as well as promotional plans and platforms to be used.

4. Pete's Paleo
Pete's Paleo is a meal kit subscription service specialising in paleo recipes and meals. The process is simple – select the meals that appeal and then have them delivered, ready to eat each week. All ingredients all organically grown or pasture fed and contain no GMOs, soy, dairy or gluten.
This would make a great site to include in a paleo generalist niche or within fitness or general diet sites. Menus change weekly and plans start at $79.95 for 5 meals.
Commission Rate: 7%
Payment Terms: Monthly
Cookie Duration: 365 days
Application required?: Yes, the Pete's Paleo affiliate program is managed by Reversion. You will be required to apply for an account then for the Pete's Paleo affiliate program. You will need to enter personal and website information as part of the application.

5. Eatology
Eatology is another paleo cooked- for-you meal delivery service offering a great range of dishes that can be purchased as a once off arrangement or as a subscription based model. The difference with Eatology however is the philosophy behind how their meals are prepared. All meals combine the “clean eating philosophy of Paleo with the balance of the Zone” which is a science based portion control method based on the ratios of protein, carbohydrates and fats to balance insulin levels.
Meal plans start at around $10 each and up depending on the amount ordered and recurrence. There is also the option for family platters, seasonal specials, custom meals and vegetarian options. This program would work well with any diet based paleo site or within the general paleo niche.
Commission Rate:
- 10% in-store commission or 7% cash by check
- 5% commission for each recurring sale
Payment Terms: Monthly
Cookie Duration: Not Stated
Application required?: Yes, You will need to enter personal and website information to apply.
Marketing material provided: Text links, banners, referral and personal discounts, nutrition seminar and tasting party
6. Araza
Araza is a cosmetics company whose products follow the guidelines of the paleo diet – meaning that they are free from legumes, dairy, gluten, grains and anything artificial and harmful. In fact, it is the first company in the world to attain certification as a paleo cosmetics product. Their range is quite decent with products in the following categories:
- Face
- Lips
- Cheeks
- Eyes
- Skin Care
- Beauty Tools
I am not sure if there is enough here to use as a base for a paleo cosmetics niche as such but the addition of some of the other diet based cosmetics sites (such as vegan etc.) may change that. It would also be a great addition to any generalist paleo, vegan, chemical free or naturalist niche as a nice gift idea or ongoing lifestyle maintenance option.
Commission Rate: 20%
Payment Terms: Monthly
Cookie Duration: Forever
Application required?: Yes, Araza's affiliate program is managed by Reversion. You will be required to apply for an account then for the Araza affiliate program. You will need to enter personal and website information as part of the application.

7. Perfect Supplements
Whilst not a paleo specific site, Perfect Supplements has a massive array of paleo supplements including:
- Probiotics
- Omega 3's
- Protein
- Collagen
- Bone broth
- Acai
- Vitamins and minerals
- Dietary supplements
This is a great site for those in any supplement based niche as not only does it cover paleo, but most other dietary and lifestyle options as well (keto, vegan, general etc.). This site could be used in any paleo based generalist, fitness or lifestyle niche or as an addition to any covering recipes, meals or paleo transition.
Commission Rate: 10% – 25%
Payment Terms: Monthly
Cookie Duration: 180 days
Application required?: Yes, You will need to enter personal and website information as well as promotional plans and platforms to be used.
Marketing material provided: Banners, Text Links
8. Paleo Powder
Paleo Powder is a cool little site that embraces the meat eating aspects of the paleo diet. The site offers a series of paleo certified rubs and seasonings allowing paleoers (if that is not a word it should be) to enjoy some good old-fashioned BBQ goodness all the while knowing that their dietary needs are being met. All products are MSG free, gluten free, Certified Paleo, Whole30 Approved and Non-GMO Project Verified and produced in a facility where there is no chance of wheat, milk, soy or other non-Paleo contamination.
Obviously this site would work best as an add on to any paleo related site especially as a great gift idea. The site promotes the program as being effective for bloggers, CrossFit boxes, fitness/health coaches, dietitians or any individual or organization interested in promoting the Paleo Powder goodness.
Commission Rate: 40%
Payment Terms: Monthly.
Cookie Duration: 1825 Days (5 years).
Application required?: Yes – Paleo Powder’s affiliate program is managed by Reversion. You will be required to apply for an account and then for the Paleo Powder affiliate program. You will need to enter personal and website information as well as promotional plans and platforms to be used.
Marketing material provided: Text links and banners, specials/sales, free coupons
9. Paleoque
And whilst we are on the BBQ train, let's finish things off with Paleoque. This is a very small, unpretentious little site run by Bill Anderson, a champion BBQ'er who wants to share his BBQ prowess with the paleo world. He has one product – an e-Book with all the tips and tricks to BBQ it up real nice paleo style.
There is not enough here to base a whole affiliate site on however it would make a little addition if you decided to select a few programs from this page to build a paleo friendly cooking/recipe niche around.
Commission Rate: 75%
Payment Terms: Monthly
Cookie Duration: Not stated
Application required?: Yes – Paleoque's affiliate program is managed by Clickbank. You will be required to apply for an account and then for the Paleoque affiliate program. You will need to enter personal and website information as well as promotional plans and platforms to be used.
Marketing material provided: Banners, Text Links
10. Amazon Associates
Alternatively, should you wish to set up your site up with a range from a few different brands or companies on the same site then you can do so via Amazon. Amazon provides access to a good range of paleo related products and has a fairly good affiliate program as well. So if you wish, join the Amazon Associates program, locate the best products relevant to your site within Amazon itself and you can post links on your own site as per below:
Amazon's commission rates are not too bad and some prefer this avenue due to the sheer amount of traffic and trustworthiness that comes with a company site of this size.
How to find your own affiliate programs
As stated earlier, by outlining the sites above I have really just tried to give you a good cross section of the types of programs that are out there by listing the really good ones in each ‘category'. That does not mean that you cannot find affiliate programs that better suit what it is that you are trying to do within this space especially as I could never even begin to cover every paleo related requirement or sub niche in the one post. Luckily for us, there is a simple way to find these programs online.
All you need to do is enter “affiliate: niche type” into your search engine (substituting ‘niche type‘ for whatever product it is that you are choosing to sell).
There are paleo related affiliate programs for everything else that we have listed at the top of this page as well – you will just need to have a look around until you find one or two that suit your site. Once you have completed your searches, you can look through and find programs that:
- Relate to your niche/problems that you are solving.
- Have quality products – your brand can be severely damaged if you promote poor quality products.
- Have solid payment and customer service arrangement.
- Pay decent commissions.
- Have good testimonials covering commission payouts and quality of product.
In most cases, you will need to apply for the program before you are allowed to promote their products – don’t take this step lightly or you will be rejected. Affiliate programs will generally want to know:
- Your website name.
- Traffic levels.
- Why you want to join – (so I can make money by selling your paleo protein bars is unfortunately not generally a good enough answer).
- How you plan to promote their products.
Conclusion
So… There are 10 of the best paleo affiliate programs to chew on this year. I hope it has been helpful for you as you commence your own paleo based affiliate marketing business and as usual, please do not hesitate to comment below if you have any questions, need some advice or have any experiences to share. Oh, and especially comment if you have any experience with these, or any other programs as well.
Until next time
Have fun
Paul

Introducing Wealthy Affiliate, My #1 Recommendation for Setting Up Your Own Online Business
When I started, I knew I wanted to work online, but had absolutely no idea where to begin! You see I had watched friends of mine run a sales party to sell essential oils and someone asked if they could just sell them online?
Then, as I sat on the bus heading into my office job, I started to wonder if I could do just that, sell essential oils online.
Anything to stop having to catch this bus to and from work every day right!
The trouble was, as I mentioned above, I had no idea how to even start.
So of course I started to look around online and found all these courses! They all promised me riches then took my money but left me with no riches!
Then I stumbled across the program that didn’t promise me riches, but told me it could help me get started even with no experience!
So I did that, joined Wealthy Affiliate that was it, and the rest as they say, is history!
But it doesn’t come without work!
That is the key here! I began on their starter membership and did the training! I then joined as a member and did some more training!
Each night after work, I would do a little more, then a little more.
And to cut a long story short, after 10 months I realized I didn’t really like writing about essential oils, so I sold the site for about $2000. But I had learned so much that I started another – about fishing and camping!
Then, after 18 months (by which time it had earned me close to $10k), I was offered $17k for the site, so I sold it too.
Now, through my travel blog, I’ve been able to fund my passion for travel and explore different places around the world.
In the past few months, I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to some amazing destinations, including Bali, Los Angeles, Dallas, Vancouver and Las Vegas.
The success of my travel blog has allowed me to fully fund my travels and explore new destinations with my family.
