The Affiliate Future Scheme
Affiliate Future operates in the UK, USA and Europe and has recently become a significant source of income for me. It doesn't seem to be as well known as Clickbank and Commission Junction but it is a good and reputable affiliate scheme and worth considering whether you are just starting out or looking to expand your advertising.
Affiliate Future work with many well known names as well as a few smaller companies. There are too many advertisers for me to review on this page though I will be reviewing my top three below. The best thing you can do is sign up (it's free) and see if anything appeals to you.
What I like about this scheme (apart from getting paid) is how well laid out their merchant directory is. Their whole site is very easy to use. You don't even need a website to get started you can just add a banner or text link to your email signature -though for best results you should at least get yourself a blog or a Squidoo lens.
Payment is monthly by bank transfer but other arrangements can be made if this isn't suitable, however the payment threshold is £100 for cheque payments but only £20 for other methods.
All in all I've been really happy with Affiliate Future. It was a very slow start but definitely worth the wait. I've not had any problems getting paid and the low payment threshold means you're pretty much guaranteed a monthly payment even on the worst months.

Evisu is the brainchild of Japanese jean junkie Yamane who came up with the idea in the 1980s after examining his own extensive collection of vintage jeans. Using reconditioned machines, he attempted to make new jeans with old methods, combing the Japanese handicraft traditions with vintage jeans. Every pair of Evisu jeans is made from 100% Japanese indigo dyed denim and features 23 details which makes each pair unique. The online store covers all of the unique Evisu product ranges including Heritage, Donna, Mens Mainline, Evisu (European Edition), Kizzu and Shoos.
This is a fairly new advertiser to Affiliate Future but I thought it worth highlighting as it's such a well known brand and would fit nicely on most fashion lenses/websites. Affiliates are paid 8% and bearing in mind that this is a premium product that can mean pretty impressive payouts.

Hypnotic Tracks are an online retailer of self hypnosis products. The two areas they are promoting most heavily are weight loss and smoking cessation but they have products to assist with a wide range of problems.
In my experience this scheme does best when very tightly targeted, I've had little success with their main default banner but done well with their weight loss banner. Commission is paid at one flat rate of 35% and I'd advise anyone looking to monetize a lens , website or blog on diet or giving up smoking to consider Hypnotic Tracks as an advertiser.

Each week I'll be featuring a different Affiliate Future advertiser to give readers an idea of the different options available.
This weeks advertiser is 7digital who offer an extensive variety of downloads. I've had not bad results with this but I'm slightly frustrated because they could be better. The banners supplied are only for a small number of artists whereas they have a huge range on offer. Anyone signing up for this would be well advised to use deep linking and text links to make it relevant to their lens or site. Unless of course you have a lens relevant to one of their featured artists.
But that's just my moan! Now for the important stuff
what do they pay?
A tiered commission structure plus personal benefits for top performing affiliates:
0-20 sales = 4%
21-50 sales = 4.5%
51-100 sales = 5%
101-200 sales = 5.5% +1 free music track download
201-500 sales = 6% + 5 free music track downloads
501-1000 sales = 7% + free album download OR 10 free music track downloads
1001+ sales = 8% + 1 free album download OR 15 free track downloads
