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. My name is Paul and I have been making money in the affiliate marketing game for the past decade and have created this site to assist those of you looking to do the same.
Today we are going to take a virtual look at my 13 best Crypto affiliate programs to cash in on this year. Cryptocurrency is certainly an interesting niche and one that definitely polarizes opinions within the financial world. However, with more and more currencies being created and released daily, interest and debate is only going to continue to grow so with a little work, this could be one that can be turned into quite a nice little sea change funding online business.
- Binance
- Trastra
- StormGain
- Cryptohopper
- HaasOnline
- Paxful
- Coinbase
- Coinmama
- Libertex
- Ledger
- Trezor
- Cryptotrader.tax
- Unstoppable Domains
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 13? 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
Legalities and Financial Implications
Before we begin however, there are a couple of things I just wanted to to cover. Firstly it should be highlighted that the legal status of cryptocurrencies varies substantially from country to country. Some countries have explicitly allowed their use and trade whilst others only tolerate restricted operations. There are also many that ban their trade altogether.
Secondly, as with any investment related undertaking, there is always the chance that money (actual legal tender type money) can be lost very quickly when it comes to cryptocurrency. So if you are looking at this from an affiliate marketing point of view, great care must be given as to whether you could be construed as giving actual financial advice or not as many countries also regulate those who are legally able to do so.
With all that in mind, the list of affiliate programs below is provided on a factual basis only and due diligence should be undertaken in regards to their jurisdictional legalities prior to applying. They are also not provided with any financial advice in regards to the trading of cryptocurrencies.
Crypto Affiliate Programs
So, now that that is all out the way, let's have a look at my13 top crypto affiliate programs that I have found below:
1. Binance
Binance is a large and well-known crypto management site that “beyond operating the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange… spans an entire ecosystem”.

- Token launchpad
- Information platform
- Research services
- Blockchain and crypto education
- Blockchain charity foundation
- Trust Wallet
This is a great site for affiliates as it allows you to cover all aspects of cryptocurrency and blockchain in the one spot. In addition to this there is also a great blog covering all aspects of this subject and this is definitely a site that you could build and affiliate business around.

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 cryptocurrency 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 crypto 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 or untrustworthy 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 crypto devices is unfortunately not generally a good enough answer).
- How you plan to promote their products.
Conclusion
So… There are 11 of the best cryptocurrency affiliate programs to cash in on this year. I hope it has been helpful for you as you commence your own crypto 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.
