 Hey, John Crestani here and I'm going to go over what five reasons why Walmart's affiliate program is a total joke. Now if you don't know what affiliate programs are, it's a way to make money by posting links for a company around the internet and Walmart, it's just laughable why it's a joke. Let's dive right into why Walmart's affiliate program sucks so bad. The first reason is these payouts are just laughable and I'm going to edit some images in of this but they pay 0% on most products, they list it out. They pay 1% commission on products through Walmart and I'll go into the other reasons why 1% commission is way, way below what average commission rate should be. Even Amazon is paying around 5% commission, clickbank, the average commission just to give you an idea, clickbank pays out over a quarter of a billion dollars per year to affiliates. That's 250 million dollars a year clickbank pays out. The average commission rate is 50% and Walmart's paying 1. The other thing that was laughable about their affiliate program is two years and they haven't updated their website. I mean I just look at their website, you scroll down the bottom, you see 2019 is this really one of the largest companies in the world and they haven't been able to update their affiliate program in two years. I mean that to me just says they're not taking it seriously, it's ridiculous. Now this blew my mind and I did a little research, I took out my calculator, I did my calculations, I figured out how many products there were and the result astounded me. Come here, come here, come here. Walmart is only giving any commissions, remember I said they pay 0% commission on most products? Other products, the ones they do pay commissions on, it's only 0.0004% of their total inventory they pay commissions on. I mean is it even worth it to market this company at this point, right? I mean anything I link to on Amazon I will get commissions for, okay anything and they have tens of millions of products too, why the heck would I send traffic to walmart.com if there's only a 0.0004% chance that they'll even buy something that pays commission. It doesn't even make any sense whatsoever, I don't even see why they maintain an affiliate program. Fourth reason is that payouts take over a month. Standard in affiliate marketing is about one to two weeks just to give you an idea, one to two weeks. When I was doing affiliate marketing, when I was really pounding tens of thousands of dollars a day, I negotiate with my affiliate networks to pay me every two days my commissions because I'm spending ads here. Back in 2015 I was spending about $20,000 every day on credit cards because I didn't have the money to be promoting all these products. I had to rely on the credit cards to float me and give me credit and so I needed and I didn't have big limits so I had to pay off my credit cards every single day almost. Those daily for a little period of time I had to work on getting my limits increased so I'm spending the full $10,000, $15,000, $25,000 limit every day. I could never work with a company like walmart who takes over a month to pay me my commissions. I sold the product, I should earn my commissions at the very least within two weeks joke. The fifth reason that walmart's affiliate program just completely blows butt is your cookies only last three days. If you haven't been doing affiliate marketing for a while, you won't know what a cookie is, but a cookie means that if you encourage somebody to go to a website and they click on your link, it means that any purchase they make, if you send them to walmart, you get credit for up to three days for any purchase they make. After sending traffic to the site, you're saying, hey, go buy this on walmart and the person purchases four days later because they saved it on their phone or something, you won't get credit. Now, to give you a comparison, ClickBank, which is a ClickBank and DigiStore, which are two great affiliate networks, have 60-day cookies, right? That is 20 times what walmart is giving you here. 60 days is very good for affiliates. 30 days is standard. 30 days. There's still 10 times off of what a standard affiliate program would do. All this adds up to is walmart's affiliate program sucks. If you're an affiliate marketer, you shouldn't even consider using walmart's affiliate program because they are just really screwing all their affiliates and they know it. If you're looking for an affiliate network to sign up for, I recommend ClickBank or DigiStore. Now on ClickBank, my product is there. It's called the Super Affiliate System. You can be an affiliate for it and earn $500 every time you make a sale. Just search my name in ClickBank after you sign up or search Super Affiliate System.
