The TopRanked.io Weekly Digest: What’s Hot in Affiliate Marketing [Top 3 Affiliate Programs This Week]

What do wartime profiteering and affiliate marketing have in common? Until now, not much. But this week, I’m going to show you how you can take a leaf out of the big boys’ playbook to make some serious affiliate buckeroos. But before you can do that, you’ll also need a handful of solid affiliate programs to monetize with. This week, we review three of ’em: Discover Cars, A2Hosting, and Kingfin.

Hey there affiliates.

Ever been invited to a threesome, but didn’t know what to do?

Well this week, we’re gonna teach you.

TopRanked.io Affiliate Partner Programs of the Week — 3 Great Programs You Can Make Bank With Right Now

This week, I decided to do something different for the affiliate program review.

Instead of bringing you one great program, I’m going to bring you three great programs.

And later (in the news section), I’m gonna show you what to do with them to make some serious mulah, just like I promised.

So here goes.

Top Affiliate Program #1 — Discover Cars Affiliate Program

The Discover Cars Affiliate Program is all about one thing and one thing only — cars.

Specifically, rental cars.

Even more specifically — and to put a very Silicon Valley spin on this — Discover Cars is basically like Skyscanner, but for car rentals.

Someone searches for a car. Discover Cars looks for a great price. Then person books that rental car at a really good price.

And hopefully, that person booking the car discovered Discover Cars thanks to your affiliate link.

If they did, then you make a whopping 70% commission on that transaction.

Now, just to be clear, you’re not getting 70% of the full price of their booking. What you are getting, however, is 70% of Discover Cars’ own profit on that transaction, which is mighty generous of them.

Oh, and also, they give you 365-day cookies just to make sure you have the maximum chances of getting paid.

Top Affiliate Program #2 — Kingfin Affiliate Program

One down, two more to go.

Next up, we’ve got the Kingfin affiliate program.

That’s the affiliate program behind the terrific Olymptrade trading platform. You know, like stocks, forex, and other financy stuff (and a whole bunch of other stuff I don’t have the space to list here, like Islamic/Halal trading accounts if you really wanna niche down).

As for what you can earn in the Kingfin Affiliate Program, that’s simple.

You earn up to a $150 CPA commission for each qualified referal, and up to 60% of the broker’s profits from referred users.

And as a nice little bonus, when you get that commission deposited into your affiliate account, you’ll have the choice of over 15 payment methods, from Bitcoin to Wire Transfers and everything in between.

Top Affiliate Program #3 — Kingfin Affiliate Program

Last, but definitely not least, we have the A2Hosting affiliate program.

So, what’s so great about the A2Hosting affiliate program?

Well, we could start with the product. Hands down, A2Hosting has one of the most comprehensive offerings of any hosting company out there — from AI site builders to full blown dedicated servers.

They’re also one of the most highly-trusted companies in the space (check ‘em out on TrustPilot!), which is mega helpful for driving conversions.

And finally, they also pay you really well — especially considering how hosting can be a bit of a low margin business.

As for how well — well, that depends on how good you are as an affiliate. The more you sell, the higher your cut.

Here’s how that looks:

  • 1-10 Sales: $55/sale
  • 11-15 Sales: $75/sale
  • 16-20 Sales: $100/sale
  • 21+ Sales: $125/sale

Not bad, huh?

Affiliate News Takeaways

It’s no secret that Trump has a bit of a thing for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In fact, this thing goes way back — ever since Trump’s first term, he’s been a sucker for the Bibi.

He even once declared Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel as a personal favor.

And that’s why, this week, minds were blown when Trump did a seeming 180 on his Israeli pal.

Now, I’m not going to try to explain the apparent one-eighty. That’s not really the topic here.

But when this story crossed my newsfeed, I couldn’t help but wonder whether Trump’s starting to give up on his ambitions now he’s getting old and cankle-y.

I mean, remember that whole Trump Gaza thing?

But then I remembered something.

Just as Trump Gaza was probably all about the money, maybe Trump’s heel turn was all about the money, too.

After all, as it stands right now, the situation has been pretty good for American business. I mean, who’s Palantir gonna sell its wares to if it can’t keep on hocking its creepy tech to Israel?

And it’s not just the “military–industrial complex” that’s been profiting from the ways things are going either.

Plenty of people are getting in on the act.

And so that made me think — if everyone else is profiteering off of the Israel-Palestine tango, then why aren’t we?

And by we, I mean you and me — humble affiliate marketers.

Think I’m crazy?

Nah, this is what’s actually crazy →

What I’m about to tell you is actually pretty common sense.

In fact, it’s so common sense that I almost wanted to face palm myself for not thinking of it before.

So here goes — a quick guide to wartime profiteering as an affiliate marketer.

Now, there are a million places we could start here. But since we’re doing “affiliate news takeaways” here, let’s start with the news.

This week, this Israel story has been doing the rounds.

Now, why I hate to be the one to be all like, “ummm, acshully,” but I’m gonna do it anyway.

An Israeli company didn’t “just” buy ExpressVPN — I believe the last time ExpressVPN changed hands was all the way back in 2021, when Kape Technologies bought out the company for $936 million.

As for who Kape Technologies… well, it’s the company behind a bunch of VPN companies (ExpressVPN, CyberGhost VPN, Private Internet Access (PIA), ZenMate, GhostVPN, Hotspot Shield, VPN Unlimited, etc., etc.)

Oh, and it’s also owned by some dude named Teddy Sagi, who just so happens to be Israeli.

So yeah, the “news” is partly correct. It’s just that this particular poster got the dates wrong.

But that’s understandable — it’s really only this week that the ExpressVPN story has blown up and gone semi-viral.

And hopefully, by now, you’re starting to see that maybe my idea about affiliate wartime profiteering wasn’t all that crazy after all.

If you don’t see where I’m going here, let’s start with some simple facts.

First things first, war usually means at least one thing — people take sides.

Duh.

And you know what happens when people take sides?

Yep, that’s right.

They start to demonize the other side — sometimes, they even want to hurt the other side.

Now, if you’re a big government, you have many tools at your disposal.

One of those is sanctions.

Not that they always work…

But if you’re just a lowly, everyday nobody, then the best thing you’ve got is a little something called a “boycott”. (Not that they ever work.)

And that brings us right to the very point at which this whole Israel-Palestine thing becomes an affiliate profiteering opportunity.

Some people are gonna wanna boycott some companies.

And it’s your job, as a helpful affiliate, to assist them in finding an alternative.

And that’s where this week’s ExpressVPN news comes into the picture.

Right now, as people continue to post about this whole ExpressVPN “revelation”…

Your job is to join them.

But unlike everyone else, you’re not just gonna parrot the news. You’re also gonna offer some solid, reputable alternatives so people who wanna do the whole boycott thing will know where to go. (And that “where to go” will obviously be somewhere you can stick an affiliate link on…)

And since we’re now in the business of helping people, why stop at just VPNs? There are literally dozens of other companies that people might wanna boycott.

In fact, there are even entire websites out there dedicated to compiling lists of such businesses (which is great news because it means most of the work has already been done for you).

Here’s one such website:

And here’s their page on ExpressVPN.

Now, that’s a pretty unremarkable page, right?

So, why would I even be showing it to you?

Well, there’s a couple of reasons.

First, this page ranks pretty high on Google (that’s how I found it), despite the fact that it’s literally the very definition of low-effort, thin content.

Second, notice how they have an alternatives section with NordVPN listed?

Also, notice how they forgot to stick a NordVPN affiliate program link on that suggestion?

So basically, what we have is a potential “niche” which is littered with low-effort content that’s somehow ranking, combined with near-zero competition.

In fact, in all my searching (admittedly, it was brief), I didn’t see one stray affiliate link anywhere. So basically, this is a niche that’s yours for the taking.

Still think I’m crazy?

And here’s the best bit about this niche — you don’t even have to limit yourself to companies that are actually Israeli (or from whichever country people are wanting to boycott).

Seriously, a lot of these lists that people are putting up will include literally any company that so much as looked in the direction of another company that happened to then look in the direction of a company from whichever nation is being demonized.

And that means that, whatever it is you’re trying to sell, there’s a pretty good chance that you’re going to be able to find a “boycottable” company within that niche.

And when you do, you target users of that company and urge them to boycott (and use whatever you’re offering as an alternative).

Cool, right?

Takeaway

Look, this is probably one of the ripest, most underexploited niches I’ve seen in a while.

Sure, maybe it’s arguable that it’s in bad taste — I did frame it as “wartime profiteering”, after all. But, at the same time, you can also frame it as helping people make good, ethical decisions.

Potato. Patata.

Anyway, like I said, this niche is absolutely ripe with opportunities. And just to prove it to you, I’m gonna run through a few listings on one of these boycott Israel sites and show you what you can sell as an alternative.

So let’s start with something you probably didn’t expect.

Car rentals.

Want a good alternative you can sell in its place?

Then maybe you should check out the Discover Cars Affiliate Program.

Or what about this one?

(By the way, the eToro affiliate program is actually really good.)

Well, there’s plenty of options here. One of those is the Kingfin affiliate program — the affiliate program behind the Olymptrade platform.

Or how about this one?

Again, there are heaps of alternatives you could offer here. One such alternative might be the A2Hosting affiliate program.

Starting to get the point here?

There are countless “bad” companies out there.

And for each and every “bad” company, there’s a so-called “good” company that you can offer up as an alternative.

And many of those “good” companies just so happen to have affiliate programs.

Closing Thought

Since we’re on the topic of something that was ultimately born out of religious conviction, I thought it was a good week to pull up this quote.

Now, don’t worry, this isn’t about to become some closing thought about doing evil and whatnot.

Instead, I wanna take this quote, and show you what we can learn in a more general, “this is applicable to my daily life” kinda way.

So let’s first start by “translating” the quote.

The original quote goes like this:

“Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.”

Let’s start twisting it, first by replacing “evil” with something else.

“Men never do unpleasant things so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.”

Now let’s change the religious bit because, ultimately, what else is religious conviction other than personal conviction that just so happens to be directed towards something religious?

“Men never do unpleasant things so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from personal conviction.”

And just like that, you now have the secret to motivating yourself to do all sorts of unpleasant things.

E.g., maybe you don’t wanna spend hours trawling through affiliate programs looking for the perfect product to sell (which also has great commissions).

Well, great news — if you can convince yourself that this is all in service of something really important (i.e., make it about a personal conviction), then there’s a good chance that the unpleasant task will probably seem a whole lot easier.

And just in case a strong personal conviction doesn’t make this particular task seem any easier, well, there is always one hack.

Go to TopRanked.io for a solid directory of the best affiliate programs out there.

Trust me, it’ll make your life so much easier.
