“Good but a bit pricey”

Sign up was easy. Everything worked as expected. The setup fees are quite high though. I do recommend

Top Critical Review

“Not genuine”

Despite having my own websites and a registered company they told me I was not qualified. I don't run any adult websites so I don't understand why I did not pass a quality review and know where they tell you the reason behind their decision or perhaps the company is registered to a black individual I don't know. But without transparency you would have to question a company's decision but they're not the only affiliate so move on to a better company one that doesn't play games.

I've had a great partnership with the affiliate network, ShareASale, for 6+ years. They have hundreds of high-quality advertisers to promote, solid and fair payouts, as well as clear and concise reporting. I typically don't ever run into any problems, but if something does arise, their team is fast to address any type of concern and resolve whatever the issue may be. Looking forward to many more years partnering with this company!

Affiliate marketing was no pickle for me at the beginning, but I owe a lot of my success to this network.
Not only is their interface a joy to use and I love the programs they partner up with, but the affiliate managers of these programs go out of their way to offer support when needed.
I highly recommend it! I've started to see regular payments from them and that's because they took the time to share some insights that might've taken me months to figure out myself.

I've been with Shareasale for years and they are my go to for products to review and write about on my blog. I like the real time reports, quick response to questions, easy to use site and how the vendors keep me updated. When looking for the right merchant for your niche they make it so easy to find the right one. I would recommend Shareasale to anyone looking to work with one of the best affiliate programs available!

I've been with Share a Sale over a year and had nothing but great experiences with them as a blogger.

They are personal and really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome in their community and help you in figuring out how to apply appropriate merchants with your content to help generate more revenue for your site or blog. Absolutely recommend!

Shareasale has been my biggest partner in my growth and success as an affiliate marketer. Their support has been top-notch from the very beginning, and it's only improved as my own needs changed and evolved.

I work with programs in multiple affiliate networks. I could give you an ordered list of my favorite network down to to the one I refuse to use because it's too difficult to work with. Sharesale is #1 as my favorite, and I give their programs priority in my own marketing efforts.

I work with multiple affiliate companies but ShareASale is by far my favorite. Their think tank is outstanding but Brian truly sets them apart with direct advice for anyone in his network. They help to match you with the perfect affiliate partners and really know the best strategies.

I've been working with ShareASale for 3 years. They are the best affiliate network in the business! Easy to use platform, great support and outreach, and definitely the most blogger friendly of the platforms. As a blogger, I am WAY more likely to sign up and promote an item if it's a merchant on SaS, versus any other network.

I've been with shareasale for 8 years and love the selection of outstanding companies they align with. As an affiliate, I've always been paid in time and I don't have to wait for 3-4 months to get paid like other affiliate networks I've worked with in the past. They work hard to offer training and education to their affiliates and influencers. I'm grateful to have such an outstanding company to work with!

I started my affiliate marketing journey with Share a Sale. The whole website is super easy to figure out for beginners. Easy to apply to programs, grab links, check stats, etc.

I have been with ShareaSale as an affiliate for nearly 5 years. They are, HANDS DOWN, the best affiliate network out there. The platform is easy to use (I love the bookmarklet) and my emails are always responded to in a timely manner. Here's the thing with SaS, if you break their rules - they WILL kick you out. They fully support affiliates who are following their rules and those put forth by the FTC. So, if you're planning to do anything shady - don't sign up with SaS. If you're not - DO IT.

ShareASale is easy to navigate - especially more so now with recent site upgrades thanks to listening to affiliate suggestions. I am finding newsletters with deals and bonus opportunities from my merchants I am affiliated with that I was missing out on before. The brands and companies that work with ShareASale are ones that are valid to my reader base - reputable companies who offer us great commission percentages to promote their products. I love it! Plus when you have the CEO reaching out to all SAS's affiliates on a regular basis to stay in touch with bonus opps and more - you cannot find a lot of hands-on companies like ShareASale!

I have been using shareasale for several years now as a way of finding great merchants to work with and products to promote on my blog and social media platforms. I have been getting monthly payouts for a couple of years and I'm always pleased with the positive interactions with all the staff members. They are very responsive to questions and always seem to be working to make the experience better for every one. It is one of my all time favorite platforms to use. It's easy to use and the people "running the show" behind the scenes are always kind, respectful, and helpful.

I've been a publisher in ShareASale for many years. It's my go to network. In fact, I sometimes don't join programs specifically because they're not in ShareASale. The team there all the way from the top down is accessible, supportive and helpful. They have so many tools to make my work easier.

I have been a blogger for over 10 years- worked with quite a few affiliate networks and I have found that shareasale has been the best overall. I have used their platform and prefer it over others for almost all of my links and programs I am signed up with.
Their platform recently got an update and it's been a wonderful change. Easy to find new companies to promote, easy to customize links for better tracking and they have been there to answer any questions that I might have.
I also have been a merchant in their network for over a year and that has been a great experience as well. As it takes time and work to run an affiliate program and get it running smoothly (not on the part of shareasale- just running the program in general) there are many resources for sending newsletters to affiliates, tracking reports and updating databases. Again, any questions have been answered and many hours spent on issues that I may have to get them resolved.
While it is the responsibility of the affiliate and merchant to use the program and generate their own income based on their efforts- shareasale provides training and helpful articles to better understand affiliate marketing, increase clicks, income and conversions. I have found these very helpful as the internet world changes often and keeping up on everything can become confusing and time consuming.

It is rare that you find a company that works with you and helps you as much as ShareASale, not to mention has as many affiliate programs as they do. I love checking my ShareASale account every month (It is very clear & easy to see where & how you are earning every month).
