12 Best Affiliate Marketing Programs for Nigerians in 2020

by 117 Comments

Last updated on August 15th, 2020 at 08:33 am

Affiliate marketing is one of the coolest ways to make money online in Nigeria. Only a few things could be more fulfilling than getting paid to promote and sell other people’s products without actually getting involved in the logistics of order processing and delivery.

Before now, affiliate marketing in Nigeria was hard because two major barriers stood between Nigerians and most affiliate networks. These are:

  1. The outright omission of Nigeria from the list of accepted countries for most programs, and
  2. Adoption, by most programs, of payment methods that were inaccessible to Nigerians.

But now, all that is history. Many Nigerian companies now run affiliate programs. And with services like Payoneer to the rescue, Nigerians can now participate in foreign affiliate programs and receive their earnings easily. These explain why many Nigerian online marketers are now making huge profits monthly from this online business model.

Now, one big challenge Nigerians face when starting out with affiliate marketing is the inability to figure out reliable and truly rewarding affiliate programs.

Best Affiliate Programs in Nigeria

In this post, I’ll reveal the best affiliate programs — local and foreign — that are Nigerian-friendly. So, if you’re looking to hop on the bandwagon of affiliate marketing, read on to discover the best networks to pitch your tent with.

A. Nigerian affiliate programs (affiliate programs for Nigerians)

Unlike what obtained in the past, a number of Nigerians companies now run affiliate programs that pay attractive commissions. This is because more and more companies are becoming aware of the huge benefits of running affiliate programs.

If you’re targeting a Nigerian audience with your blog, you may want to focus on these programs rather than the foreign ones. While it’s expectable that Nigerian affiliate programs pay smaller commissions than the foreign ones, promoting a Nigerian program is much easier because you’re dealing with less competition, and you’re promoting products that Nigerian are really interested in buying.

Now, here are some of the best affiliate programs run by Nigerian companies or tailored specifically to Nigerians.

Jumia Affiliate Program

Chances are you already know Jumia Nigeria as a large online retailer of a wide range of products that cater to Nigerians. But more interestingly, the company runs an affiliate program that pays you as much as 8% commission on each sale you make — plus the opportunity to earn up to 11% for huge volume orders.

From wears and fashion accessories to smartphones and electronics, there are many products you can promote as an affiliate marketer for Jumia. The program pays on a monthly basis — in the first week of each month — directly into your local bank account. And the minimum payout balance is N2,500.

The Jumia affiliate program has a responsive dedicated support team. And as an affiliate marketer for the company, you’ll get email updates about upcoming promos and discount deals, so you can promote those to your target audience and make even more money from the program.

Hog Furniture Affiliate Program

Hog Furniture is one of the leading furniture outlets in Nigeria. And the company is rattling the status quo in the Nigerian furniture industry by establishing a strong online presence. This helps the company cater to their target customers through the Internet. But more interestingly, the company run a cool affiliate program that pays you 3% on any of their products sold through your affiliate links.

Suggested:   Pay Per Click Affiliate Programs in Nigeria: The Ugly Truth!

Hog Furniture sells a wide range of home and office furniture and related accessories, so you have a huge pool of products to promote for them as an affiliate. The sweet part is that many of their products are “high-ticket” products that run into hundreds to millions of naira. Imagine how much you’d pocket as commission for selling a set of furniture worth N500,000.

Another upside of this affiliate program is that you don’t have to wait until the end of the current or next month to get paid. You actually get paid once the sale you generated has been confirmed successfully completed.

Binary.com Affiliate Program

Binary options trading is one of the various options you have when it comes to trading online and cashing in on fluctuations in the global forex market. While many Nigerians are still unaware of this opportunity, it’s worth knowing that there’s a company that’s willing to pay you to get people to register and trade binary options on their platform.

Binary.com is a market leader in the binary options trading industry and has been operating for over two decades now. The company provides a trading platform that enables anyone to trade on the world’s leading currencies — including cryptocurrencies.

While the company isn’t a Nigerian company, I’ve included their affiliate program in this section because they have a dedicated Country Manager who supervises their affiliate program in Nigeria and handles enquiries from Nigerians.

The Binary.com affiliate program pays commissions that range between 20% and 35%, depending on the total revenue you generate per month from your marketing efforts. All approved commissions are credited to your account on the 15th of every month.

Domainking Affiliate Program

Web hosting is one of the in-demand services in Nigeria at the moment. With more individuals looking to start online businesses and more companies looking to market their offers online, the demand for web hosting services can only continue to increase.

And with foreign hosting companies charging rates that most Nigerians can’t afford, newbies in online business would have no choice but to make do with Nigerian hosting companies. One of the best and most reliable Nigerian hosting companies is Domainking.ng.

Domainking runs an affiliate program that pays you a whopping 80% commission on every sale of website or blog hosting. Your commission would be held for 45 days before it would be paid to your account. The minimum payout is N1,000.

Travelstart Affiliate Program

Travelstart is an online travel agency that offers services such as flight ticket purchasing, hotel booking, car rental, vacation planning and packaging, and other travel- and tourism-related services. The company operates in Nigeria and some other countries.

Travelstart runs a nice affiliate program that allows you to get paid for promoting their services online. They pay a whopping 70% commission on each sale generated through your affiliate links.

NOTE: Your commission as a Travelstart affiliate is actually 70% of the profit made by Travelstart from the sale, not 70% of the total cost of the service. So, if a customer buys a flight ticket worth N200,000 and Travelstart’s profit from that is N20,000 your commission is NOT N140,000. Rather, you’re to earn 70% of 20,000, which is N14,000. And if you ask me, I’d say that’s still cool.

Travelstart has efficient affiliate tracking systems and responsive affiliate managers. So, you can rest assured that all your due commissions would be recorded and paid to you at the end of each month.

VoguePay Affiliate Program

VoguePay is one of Nigeria’s leading online payment processors. Their service allows website or blog owners to receive payments for goods and services online. And interestingly, their platform allows for international transactions, too.

VoguePay runs an affiliate program that doesn’t look lucrative on the surface. But when you understand what recurring commissions mean, you’d agree that their affiliate program is one of the coolest in Nigeria right now.

Let me tell you how it works: You earn 10% of VoguePay’s transaction fees each time someone you referred receives payment from his/her customers. Now, let’s assume you recommend VoguePay to Mr. Q, who eventually signs up through your affiliate link to become a customer. Each time Mr. Q receives payment through the VoguePay gateway on his website, you’ll get 10% of VoguePay’s charge on that transaction. From what I know, VoguePay charges 1.5% or thereabout for each local transaction. So, if they charge N1,500 on a N100,000 transaction done on Mr. Q’s website, you will earn N150. While that might seem meager, truth is you earn on every transaction done through Mr. Q’s VoguePay account. That, to me, is quite alluring.

All commissions you earn are instantly credited to your VoguePay wallet (which means you must have a VoguePay account before you can promote them as an affiliate). And you can withdraw your earnings from your VoguePay wallet to your account at any time.

TravelBeta Affiliate Program

TravelBeta is one of the market players in the Nigerian Travel and Tours Industry. The company offers a wide range of travel-related services such as flight booking, hotel booking, vacation planning and packaging, visa assistance, airport pickups, and international telephone services.

But the sweet part is that TravelBeta also runs an affiliate program. And when you remember that travel-related services typically cost hundreds to millions of naira, you can only imagine how much you can make from each sale generated through your efforts.

The TravelBeta affiliate program pays pending commissions on the 10th of every month. What sets this program apart is that you’re allowed to promote their services even if you don’t have a website.

Click here to learn more about the program.

Whogohost Affiliate Program

One of the most widely used web hosting services in Nigeria, Whogohost runs an affiliate program that pays you a 15% commission on each sale generated through your affiliate link.

In addition to web hosting services, the company also offers domain name registration, website design services, web security services, SSL certificates and more. The prices of these services are cool enough to give you decent bucks in affiliate commissions.

Once you sign up for the Whogohost Affiliate Program, you get a N500 signup bonus that you can withdraw along with your first commissions. Note, however, that the minimum balance you must have before requesting payout is N3,000.

Click here to learn more about the program.

Konga Affiliate Program

Konga is Nigeria’s second largest online retailer of general merchandise. The company also runs an affiliate program that pays you up to 9% commission on every completed sale. Your total earnings would be reviewed at the end of each month and paid directly into your bank account.

Click here to learn more about the program.

A. Foreign affiliate networks

If you run a blog targeted at a foreign or global audience, then it goes without saying that you should promote affiliate programs that serve your audience.

Here are the best foreign affiliate programs you can promote as a Nigerian:

Amazon affiliate program

Amazon has been around for a very long time. And many affiliate marketers have cashed in on the company’s long-established reputation to make huge fortunes from its affiliate program.

Suggested:   Affiliate Marketing: How A Single Blog Post Fetched Me N60,000

Aside that Amazon is a global brand that nobody would hesitate to buy from, the company sells almost every product under the sun. So, no matter what your niche is, you’ll always find suitable products to promote on Amazon.

On most products, the Amazon affiliate program pays 4% per sale. That sounds meager, but it would make more sense when you sell products that cost $100 and more. In fact, there are many products on Amazon that sell for thousands of dollars. If you can successfully promote such big money products, you’ll make a killing every month.

Amazon pays via check or direct deposit into a U.S. checking account (which you can get through Payoneer).

One downside to Amazon, however, is that they pay your commissions three months after you’ve earned them. That is, your commissions for January would be paid in April — provided they sum up to the minimum required for payout ($10 for direct deposit and $100 for check).

Commission Junction

Commission junction (CJ) is another popular name among pro affiliate marketers. It’s a large affiliate network comprising hundreds of programs by different companies. In addition to several different products, Commission Junction also allows you to promote services such as insurance, healthcare, travel and tourism, and many others.

How much you’ll earn as commission on CJ depends on the product or service you promote. Some products and services offer as low as 3% commission, while others offer as high as 40% commission.

CJ pays its affiliates via check as well as direct deposit into a U.S. checking account. And payment is made once every month. Minimum payout amount is $50 for direct deposit and $100 for check.

ShareASale

ShareASale is another large affiliate network that operates just like CJ. There is a wide range of products and services available for you to promote as an affiliate. And as with CJ, your commission depends on what product or service you promote.

ShareASale pays via check and direct deposit (into U.S. checking account) on the 20th of every month. Minimum payment amount is $50, but you can adjust this to any amount you like.

Other reputable foreign programs & networks

Udemy affiliate program: Online video courses and tutorials

LifeCircle affiliate program: Medical tourism (Getting treatment or giving birth in the USA)

Envato Market affiliate program: Themes, plugins, app templates, scripts, etc.

Web hosting affiliate programs: Web hosting and domain registration services.

That’s it!

You just learned about the various affiliate programs available to you — both on the local and foreign fronts. So, if affiliate marketing seems alluring to you, register with these programs and start making money!

  15. This is a great post on the advantages of affiliate marketing in Africa. Sadly, affiliate marketing is not as popular on the continent as it is in the US or Europe. Given the small cost it takes to start a business, the growing acceleration towards a digital economy and the high poverty rate this could be a great way for many entrepreneurial people to earn a living. Furthermore, it can help to make it easier for african businesses to offer affiliate marketing programmes once there are more african affiliate marketers available who can drive significant traffic. It is also great to see that a post on affiliate marketing receiving so much engagement via comments. Well done

  21. Hello, dear.

    I know you well. i saw you through article i read online on my phone since last year. i received your free ebook in which i was impressed because i understood why i dont make money with adsense if i sold my knowledge online for adsense advertisers on my old blog in Nigeria.

    so I decided to create another new blog on investment, that is https://investment4business.blogspot.com, if i want to sell my skills online in the world.

    Thank you for helping me by opening my eyes.

    Though, as i read your replying about text clicks working more than banner clicks, i decided to do it but i was kindly recommended both text and banners on my blog in which i was confused in my mind. What shall I do

  23. All these are sites that offer good pay to affiliate partners. Affiliate marketing is sweet when you have built a good relationship with your readers. Getting affiliate sales on a new website may not be so easy initially.

    However, the affiliate program I love most is the web host affiliate programs

    Thanks for sharing.

  56. Hello Abass, may I call you one of our foremost pioneer affiliate marketers in Nigeria? Seriously you article on affiliate marketing was absolutely profound.
    But aside from hammering on affiliate products, i think what most beginners need to know is that the first and most important step in affiliate marketing, is choosing the right Niche… They are so many Niches that have products to promote, but the main point is choosing a niche that is the affiliate marketer can become an AUTHORITY in. I just wrote an article in my blog on this topic, and i would be glad if you checked it out.

  57. Mr Abass,
    This is really an insightful post. I run a news/media website where I generate like 2k page views daily. I’ve been trying to monetize with adsense but they are not paying mehn. The cost per click is too low. I’m considering affliate marketing to monetize the website with and I’m finding your post really helpful. I have affliate accounts on Jumia, Amazon but I’m still considering the right products to market on the website. I will appreciate every assistance you can render. Regards

    • Hello Olumide,

      Is your blog on Blogger or WordPress? If it’s on Blogger and you’re getting your stats from the Blogger dashboard, then you’ve been banking on wrong stats. To get your real stats, set up Google Analytics for your blog.

      If the blog you’re talking about is the one you submitted for this comment, then I think there are some things you need to do. Personally, I’ve discovered that text link ads attract clicks more than banner ads, so you might want to change your ads to text links.

      As for affiliate monetization, you can only succeed if your content is closely related to what you’re promoting. I can’t think of any suitable affiliate marketing idea for a news/gist blog right now. You might have to set up a new blog that is focused on the affiliate products you want to promote.

      Regards.

  61. Hello Abass, I must say – Great post you have here! if all ”Nigerian” Blogs could strive to be more consumer friendly as this,then we wouldn’t have much problems.

    I currently own two blogs and I haven’t bought a domain yet. I was declined acceptance on adsence because I need more content on my blog and to be more ”niche specific” but as I am a student I seldom have time to update my blog’s as much as I’d love to. My question is – How do I find guest writers for my blog’s in the Technology ( gadget and gaming niche ) ”. faavytech.blogspot.com. ” and Self-Development niche ” Ideahublog.blogspot.com ” ?

    Reply

    • Onile,

      Truth is, guest writers usually write in anticipation of either traffic or just popularity. And only well established, high-traffic blogs give both. That’s why only big blogs attract guest writers who are willing to write for them for free. You can’t get such writers for blogs like yours–not at their present stage.

    A great job you’re doing here. I’m still reading your free ebook and I’ve learnt a lot already.
    Concerning the MarketHealth affiliate, when I visited the website, I noticed all the product I see there are restricted in Nigeria (according to them). Since my blog is targeted at Nigerians, does that mean I can’t signup with them

    Reply

    • Julius,

      What that means is that they are restricted from being shipped or sold to Nigeria, not that you cannot promote the products as a Nigerian. The fact that Nigeria is in the list of country options presented in the affiliate registration form is enough proof that they allow Nigerian affiliates.

I noticed that for 3 days i ranked 3rd on google page but after that, i was no where to be found again. my viewers also read my blog within the first 3 days and after that there was no more visitors. The market health affiliate seems like a good avenue for me but i don’t know how to drive traffic to the site even after following all principles of SEO. Please i would appreciate it if you can help with somoe advice.

          Thank you very much for that thread. It called my attention to that unscrupulous guy and fetched me some new visitors and subscribers.

          As for the initial ranking, it’s called the “dancing”, which describes a situation where a new blog ranks well at first before getting lost again. Truth is, it takes two to four months for a new blog to achieve a stable ranking. So, you have to wait.

    This my question bruh, am into entertainment (celeb, gossip , gist.e.t.c) niche , pls what affiliate would you suggest i should sign up for ?

    Currently, am promoting ireporterstv’s video link and am getting paid but, not all people are interested in watching videos.

    So , pls, your advice and others reading this too would do a lot.

    Thanks .

    Reply

    • Michael,

      Well, your question is a tough one for me because I’ve always known the entertainment niche as one niche so difficult to monetize with traffic less than millions of page views.

      The only suggestion I have is that you promote a wide range of different products, hoping that your audience will get interested in them once in a while. I know myself that it’s not a very fine suggestion. But the niche is the main problem.

    Thanks for this insightful post on affiliate marketing. It is timey and straight to the point. This is a unique offering considering that some other online marketers would place a high price tag for some good for nothing affiliate blueprint. It is quite unfortunate that our own affiliate programs are not so good. The earlier these online stores learn from their foreign counterparts, the better for them, at least we have options.

  78. Hi Abass!

    Another wonderful entry which I am super positive will light the way for many, especially those seeking to monetize their efforts online the affilaite way. I remember, there was a time I genuinely sought after an amazing entry like this…that was around 2009!

    However, while I have earned recurrent commisions with almost all the foreign based aff. programs listed here (and many more), I’m not enthusiastic about the Nigerian guys at all. As a matter of fact, I expressly advise my readers to try them AT THEIR OWN RISK!

    Well, this is my story: I signed up for Konga Affiliate program when it was freshly introduced. After working hard at promoting their links and infact after gaining serious traction, I got a very silly mail in my box one good morning: all my links and banners were invalidated and I was asked to create new ones – the old ones stopped tracking and crediting sales to me completely! This automatically meant that while I was still sending traffic to Konga (and possibly, sales), I was no longer compensated.

    WTF?!

    After getting in touch with my account manager and confirming the silly email, I opted out of the program. Sadly, this practice still goes on till date (as my enquiry reveals). The other Nigerian affiliates, sadly, welcome this sophisticated scam…

    Do make the Sunday very great, Abass!

    Always,
    Akaahan Terungwa

    • Akaahan,

      I once stumbled on one of your affiliate review blogs, and I loved your approach to affiliate marketing. I know you’re promoting stuff for some foreign affiliate programs on this list and that you’re making cool cash from that. So, seeing your comment on this post made me really glad.

      As for your story regarding Konga, I have no reason to doubt you because I’ve always known you to be a man of integrity and transparency. And due to your experience with Konga, I would advise people to deal with them with caution.

      Thanks for taking your time to read the post, and for leaving an insightful comment that will save many from a bif pitfall you once found yourself in.

      • Thanks a lot Akaahan and Abas, this is really inspiring. I’m a newbie at blogging, I just joined the Jumia affiliate program and I’ve seen my pending conversions on my dashboard. Also joined an affiliate program for the company hosting my site in the US,they were transparent enough to give discounts to those who register or create their website or blog through their affiliate link/banner on my site unlike some other Affiliate programs though. Thanks once more for this insight! God bless!

  80. Wow this is exactly what i need!

    Thanks bro…
    But the thing is i‘ve not even started my own blog. I‘m still researching on what topic to choose. Your book & blog posts have been helping all the way though…

  81. Thanks a lot I’m just making arrangement to have a website. I appreciate the mail you sent on affiliate marketing. I’m really surprise that could reveal this without asking for money before sending, this is quite unlike Nigerians, because recently I paid about 12000 to get a book on business that Nigerians can do online and even up till now I’ve not been able to start any one because I don’t understand how to really start, but here you are offering free ebook. God will bless you abundantly

    • Hello Titilayo,

      The part of your comment where you mentioned that you bought an e-book for a whopping N12,000 gave me palpitations, considering that you didn’t even know where to start after reading such an e-book.

      I wish you all the best. But one quick reminder here: Once you’re ready to create your website, feel free to grab my free installation offer.
