Amazon Associates is connected to Amazon's online store, so you can promote almost anything sold there. It’s easy to join and offers a lot of products, which makes it a common starting point. However, the commission rates are usually low, and the cookie window is short, meaning you only get paid if someone buys within a day. On the other hand, ShareASale is a network that connects you to different companies, each with their own offers and commission rates. Some pay more and have longer cookie periods. ShareASale also gives more tools and reports to help with tracking. The main difference is that Amazon is one store, while ShareASale gives access to many brands. Has anyone found one to be better for certain types of products?
