Hey Y'all
A few members have been having a bit of a problem finding not only affiliate links but also merchants to apply to in ShareASale. That is understandable their website is not very user friendly. But once you get thru it gets better.
Ok you applied to ShareASale waited and waited and finally Yippee! you got approved. You go to the affiliate login page and run into this. After stumbling and fumbling around I finally found what I was looking for.
Find Merchants in Your Niche
Hover over merchants and click "search for merchants"
In this next screen you can either browse by category, keyword, or product. 
After entering your keyword click the search button. And up pops this next screen. There is a lot of information here. You can see the number of products that match your keyword, and the number of merchants that carry that item. In the "stats" tab you can find information on average commissions. The "details" tab" will let you know if the program is auto-approve, cookie retention, and other aspects of ShareASale. The "preview tab" will give you a quick overview of the products carried. Check out all the merchants find the best fit for you and your niche and click "Join Program".

This next screen will look familiar. It is another chance to describe your website. You can choose to leave this blank or create a new description. If you leave it blank your original site description that you applied to ShareASale with will be forwarded to the merchant. I chose to create a new one, by the time I applied to a merchant my site and marketing strategies had changed. Scroll to the bottom of the page and apply.
And again you wait. The first email you receive from a merchant is likely to be an auto-reply confirming that your application is under review. Don't get excited like I did.
WOOHOO you have been approved . Ok where is my merchant? I have been approved why can't I find them. Once again ShareASale hides things. Hover over merchants this time click on "view merchants with data feeds".
You are almost to your ShareASale affiliate links. Toggle the merchants program box to show "I am a member of" Click refresh button (not shown due to size constraints) but it is there. Find your approved merchants click "view detailed merchant info".
ShareASale affiliate links ahead. Click "get links".
Banner ads two clicks away. There are many options here special deals, simple text links , one of my merchants provides videos which is convenient. Let's get a banner ad. Click the tab......
WOW finally a banner ad! Copy the HTML code paste it to word or whatever you are using and Viola you are ready to place your banner ad on your website and help your visitors keep track of their pet. Oh, sorry not your niche.
That is how to find ShareASale affiliate links. I hope this saves you some time and aggravation.
Until next time,
Tim
