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 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 polarises 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.

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

Before we start however, let’s have a look at what I mean by the term ‘Crypto’ and how it can be incorporated within an affiliate marketing website…

What do we mean by Crypto?

Ok, so let’s start with some descriptions… ‘Crypto’ or to use the correct term, Cryptocurrency, is a digital currency that can be used to make purchases and be traded as per real, traditional money. It is volatile in nature in that it can gain and lose value quite quickly and the jury (so to speak) is still out on whether it will become a sustainable part of the financial landscape or simply fade away as a fad. The most well-known, and I think the original, is Bitcoin however at time of writing there are over 6000 other versions of digital ‘coins’ on the market.

And considering that over 242000 searches are undertaken online per month for the term ‘bitcoin’, I don’t think it is something that is going to go away too soon. To that end, there is quite a lot that we could look into when it comes to cryptocurrency so for this post, I have tried to cover a good cross section of cryptocurrency affiliate program options including:

• General trading
• Security
• Bots
• Tax and software
• Domains

And of course anything else that you may be looking to cover within this niche so if you are interested in setting up an online business in this space, let’s check them out below.

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.

So, now that that is all out the way, let’s have a look at 13 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”. Its main operation is obviously as a trading platform for cryptocurrency of all types however it also expands (via its ecosystem) into other areas of operation including:

• Exchange for blockchain and crypto
• Labs for blockchain projects
• 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
