ShareASale is one of the oldest affiliate networks on the market — launched way back in 2000, and now part of the Awin group. With over 21,000 merchants on the platform, it’s a goldmine for affiliates in e-commerce, finance, digital services, lifestyle, and more.
What makes ShareASale stand out? It’s simple, stable, and massive. The platform gives you access to thousands of affiliate programs under one roof, and most of them are SMB brands with high conversion potential, not just the same big players you see everywhere else.
