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 enter our pass codes to look at my 10 home security affiliate programs to patrol this year. Security is an interesting niche and one that can cover a lot of different avenues from personal protection to peace of mind for all areas of daily life including the home. It is this last area that we will cover today in terms of home security – something that many out there consider a ‘must have’ making it quite a lucrative online business to explore for affiliate marketers. There are 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 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 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

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

What do we mean by home security?

This is one where the name probable speaks for itself. There are however a number of factors to investigate when it comes to home security so for the purposes of this post I am going to focus on anything that can be incorporated into protecting the home from intruders, accidents or anything else that can threaten it, or those inside it… With that in mind, I have tried to cover a good cross section of home security affiliate program options covering:

• Home security monitoring
• Alarm and camera systems
• Home ‘smart’ security systems
• Security doors and locks
• Insurance
• Safes

And of course anything else you can think of when it comes to this niche… So, if you are looking to set up an online business in this space, let’s check them out below.

What can affiliate marketers promote?

There are essentially no real barriers to what affiliate marketers can promote when it comes to home security. There are however some things to be aware of as you run your eye over home security related affiliate program possibilities that may suit your site. These are:

1. Know your audience, some are looking for specifics and want the best whilst others are hoping to just get their homes protected on a budget. Choose your affiliate sites accordingly.
2. Home owners will generally not take risks with the protection of their homes so will not purchase if they don’t trust you or your affiliate site. Make sure the programs you choose are reputable and have good recourse options if the purchaser is not happy.
3. Those purchasing a new setup, or for a new home etc. will need to know exactly what they need and that the products you are promoting will fit in with their requirements. Make sure your programs can provide the products to back up the information that you are covering.

That said, stats show that people will spend money on protecting their homes 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. Brinks Home Security

Brinks Home is part of the worldwide Brinks security conglomerate well-known for its security services around company and financial protection. Its home security arm however contains a comprehensive range of home security products and monitoring services that includes:

• Cameras, Control locks, cameras, lights, thermostats, floor sensors and more.
• Home security app allowing personal home monitoring and control.
• Professional monitoring service sending alerts to your smartphone and calling directly to your home.
• Home security patrol services.

The thing to keep in mind with this one is that their partner program is not a clean affiliate commission arrangement as such. It is more aimed at those who are looking to partner with them to sell their products as an agent, dealer or authorised representative. This makes the program more suitable for those looking to set up an online business around the sale of these products either online or as part of a brick and mortar store offering.

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 home security 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 home security 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 home security 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 sensor cameras is unfortunately not generally a good enough answer).
• How you plan to promote their products.

Conclusion

So… There are 10 of the best home security affiliate programs to patrol this year. I hope it has been helpful for you as you commence your own home security 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
