Another vote for Jeff James, he is one of the friendliest and most helpful and creative network managers in the industry. He puts out a nice Friday affiliate newsletter too.

Great info Ciera. I notice you haven’t listed Bridaluxe.com, a wedding specific affiliate network. I’ve worked with Jeff James, Founder of Bridaluxe, for many years and he has, by far, the best affiliate payout coupled with kick-butt, personalized, accessible affiliate service and attention to detail.

Thanks for the great post Ciara! A timely message as well with the new compliance laws that went into effect in the US for transparency on blogs and websites. There is a difference between kickbacks and affiliate commissions and I think transparency is key!

YES YES YES! Thank you for this post Ciara. Honestly, when you mentioned it during your call I didn’t think twice about it because I knew what you meant. Too many people took it the worng way though and started talking immediately. There have to be some perks in this industry and there are professional ways of finding them. You just proved it!
