Involve Asia Review- affiliate network for bloggers from Asia
If your blog gets most of its traffic from US, then you would sign up for Amazon Affiliate program or affiliate networks under Shareasale and Commission Junction (CJ).
However, if most of your traffic comes from Asia country, then you may perform better by signing up with affiliate network or programs that features merchants/companies from Asia. One of the most popular affiliate network is Involve Asia.
I signed up withInvolve Asia in November 2017. This comes because I have a few blogs whereby most of my traffic comes from Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore (based on my Google Analytics report).
The sign off requires approval to be accepted into the program but I got the answer within a day.
Reasons why I signed up with Involve Asia:
1. Involve Asia features a number of popular merchants and a number of locally based merchants
If your traffic comes mainly from Asia countries especially the ASEAN region then you can feature affiliate programs of the merchant based on the niche of your blog (it is important for your blog to have a niche).
For example in Malaysia there are a number of popular merchants that are on board with Involve Asia such as Lazada, 11street, Malaysian Airlines, Agoda and Happy Bunch.
2. A Malaysian company for Asia market
Honestly as a blogger from Asia, it is hard to make a living because popular platforms such as Google Adsense, Amazon Affiliate program, CJ and Media.net pays a high CPC (cost-per-click) for US and Europe traffic due to the higher spending power of the countries.
For instance, USD500 is considered low end to design a website. USD250 is considered extremely cheap and most web developers there would not want to do a site for you for that price. Whereas in Malaysia, small business would not even want to pay RM500 (less than USD150) for a site. With a lower budget, advertisers targeting Asia market would not need to pay so much hence here is a huge difference where your traffic comes from.
Google Adsense or Media.net would pay per click… however the earnings per click is very low and you would need a huge traffic to make a difference. Sometimes we earn only few cents each time someone clicks on an ad. Whereas Involve Asia is an affiliate network hence it only pay you based on a percentage of the confirmed sales referred by you. It is either all or nothing but there is a potentially high earning power.
READWhen Adsense is better than Affiliate marketing
One thing is that Involve Asia provides an avenue for bloggers, especially those who in their native language would be able to benefit by signing up with Involve Asia.
For example, if I am from Thailand and blog in Thai language, I would probably not be able to get quality ad placement because the advertiser would likely target the keywords only in English. If I am under Involve Asia, there are a number of merchants from Thailand like Central (well known chain of department store in Thailand), NAAIN bookstore, Lazada (TH), Bus Online Ticket (TH), Reebonz (TH), Kinokuniya (TH) which I am able to target even though I blog in Thai language (after all, most of the websites also appear in Thai language).
3. It is easier to consolidate your earnings via an affiliate network than to sign up individually with each company
Some companies like Agoda also offer their own affiliate program. However, I find it a little of a hassle to sign up individually and to track the earnings separately. Another thing is most merchants would only pay with you hit a minimum earning amount like USD50 which may take a long time to achieve.
4. Your own account manager
Not long after you sign up under Involve Asia, aside from newsletter that the company sends you to notify you of changes, there would be an Affiliate Marketing Executive, ie real human being that would be sending you emails occasionally. If you need advice or guidance, you can email to the person to seek advise such as how to improve placement or certain things that you are unsure of.
