Affiliate marketing programs in South Africa

Affiliate marketing programs in South Africa

Affiliate marketing means promoting other people’s products or services and earn money through commission when people actually buy thanks to your marketing efforts.

Basically, you have to find a product you like (from a company or business) then promote it and then earn money each time a sale is made. However not all businesses in South Africa offer affiliate programs, in fact the vast majority of them don’t. Affiliate programs pay a % of profit to the marketer for every sale made. These percentages differ per program, some only pay 2% while others pay as high as 50%.

The state of affiliate marketing in South Africa

South Africa is a bit behind when it comes to the adoption of affiliate marketing, affiliated marketing is better adopted in developed countries, many people in South Africa are still not sure how this internet thing works (from what they say about the fourth industrial revolution).

Does that mean you should lose interest in being an affiliate marketer in South Africa? No, this is a golden opportunity for you, this means that you are competing with less people. You can make a lot of money with affiliate marketing, some people do affiliate marketing as a full-time job.

Here are some of the best affiliate programs in South Africa

1) Promta Web Services: 15%

Promta is a business directory that offers most of its services to businesses. Basically, you go to the app and register your business for free then get more exposure from their free search platform. However, this company also offers a great affiliate program through their web services.

The commission percentage is a high 15%, you get 15% for every successful conversion, that’s really rare, most affiliate programs are 10% and lower. My South Africa is also part of the Promta Web Services affiliate program, we advertise their services and earn a whooping 15%, we send over 100 people everyday to their site. Their services include Web design services, App development, Logo designs and SEO optimizations.

How will you promote the products or services?

People who are influencers or have some form of social media following have a lot of advantage when it comes to affiliate marketing.

This just depends on how many people you can actually market to.
