I think you can get affiliation with request from Walmart, Walgreens, World Gobal Network, CTFO CBD company, Amazon, Jaaxy, Screencastomatic, rakutan, and for sure from Wealthy Affiliates. Also, try to determine why you were denied. Sometimes it's a simple fix. I had the same struggle and it is difficult to get through the challenges especially starting out. Which ones were denied? I will read into it more if you need me. Hang in there dearheart!

Hi! Thanks for your kind words. It is disheartening. I am reluctant to do Amazon because I do not anticipate I will get a qualifying purchase within the 90 days (I have only been at this a few weeks and have a long way to go).
The reasons for denial are constantly because I do not have enough traffic. Off the top of my head, I have been denied at New Balance, Yeti, a tee-time scheduling site (can't recall the name) and most recently, Dermastore. Guess I will just keep hacking away. Thank you for the response.
You are doing good, you are trying. It maybe good to read the requirements. Yes, I'm sure Amazon will gimme the boot soon as I don't have 3 yet but I will try again. Submitting blogs for review might help,

My advice is that it’s too early and you have too little traffic and content. That is probably why you are being turned down by the larger programs. Create a lot more content and then resubmit once all your content has started generating traffic.
Hope this helps, Dave

Affiliate program denials and training standstill - help?
Here I am at Level 3, Lesson 8. This is where I am to put dualing ads/adsense/affiliate links on different pages and complete a singular review. My issue? I keep gettin
When you apply to become an affiliate, do you use a "support @ your domain name dot com" type of email address, or your own personal email? If the later, I suggest you use the former as it looks more professional.
Some of the affiliate programs out there have become more strict about their requirements. So they are looking for websites that have been up and running for a while, with traffic and a number of posts/pages. They do not specify the number of posts/pages.
Different people will say different things about the number of "quality" posts/pages. If you get refused, send an email back asking why. If you do not get an answer, that tells you all you need to know about them (if they can't come back to you with reasons, why could you want to be an affiliate for them?)
If they do come back, then you have something solid to work on.
In the meantime I would suggest that you continue writing content. You can always update that content later with the affiliate links when you do get approved.
Kyle wrote a blog a while back when someone rejected his application to be an affiliate for them, so it happens to all. It happened to me when I used a new website and used by personal email address by mistake. That one was rejected. Then I applied again, using my new support email address and that was accepted. Same domain, different email address which looked more professional.
Thanks. I will resubmit with the support@domain email. I did email all of the ones who rejected me and in one case, they came back with an offer. With the others, no response. Consistently the reasoning behind the denial was lack of traffic. I guess I will just keep adding content, follow the training and when I get enough affiliates, go back and do as the training says. Thank you for your help!
That makes sense and is a good approach.
I came across this WA training by another WA member. It is possible that one or more of these may be in the same niche as you and may be a good fit: Profitable Niche Affiliate Programs – Passions and Hobbies Best,

Hi all,
I could really use some help. I love my theme. It is vibrant, sophisticated and clean. However, I have received feedback that it is an issue that my posts are d
Ok, so you already tried the standard "select summary" option and that did not take.
In WP dashboard, select appearance, than customise.
This bit is usually different for each theme.
So I think that you have to go through each option and review all sections to see if there is a section that stands out.
Different themes would call the same things using different names here, so that makes this bit more "fun".
Their may be a "home page" settings? If so, carefully look at the options (write them down, before changing so that you are revert if it does not take). If you change, remember to "update" before it takes affect. Then open up a new tab to your website and see did that change do the trick. If it "broke it", revert back to the settings you wrote down.
Good luck.
Go to dashboard, settings and reading and change the page to summary and save changes. See the image attached
Thank you. I followed your instructions and unfortunately, it seems to have not made a different. I went in an double checked, and "summary" is selected and saved, but there is no change on the site itself.
Hi - if you go to Word Press, settings, then reading, does it offer you the option of full text or summary?
Hmm, ok. I don't know which version of Wordpress you have but try this instead. Open up a post, click the cursor at the point you want the summary to end, and see if there is an insert "read more" option in the settings above the post, where the add links, bullet points etc are.

Hey all
I applied to be an affiliate for two sites and was denied (Callaway Golf and GolfNow). I have to assume it is because of the lack of traffic on my site. I have s
Yes, this is normal, not every company will approve of you. Even if you have lots o post on your website.
It really depends on the company. Each affiliated company or network has its own rules and or criteria that they want to meet. Whether its lots of traffic, post, or influence, it all depends on the company.
However, I see you recently started so this could be the reason why you haven't gotten approval yet. A partnership will come through, just keep going through the training, and I know you will do great.
Thanks everyone! I was following the training exactly and I reached a point where I was supposed to join one affiliate partnership and then write a post linking to my affiliate partners (level 3, lesson 2). I am following the training exactly and have done so in order. I am reluctant to skip this training step and move the next without complying with the training requirements. Hopefully a partnership will come through.
Focus on your niche and creating good unique content that gets ranked. Then once you have traffic, then look for applicable affiliate opportunities.
Kyle applied a while back to be an affiliate for something and he was denied. He wrote a blog about it. So the moral is, don't let it stress you out. That company really lost big.
Different people will say different things about the number of posts or pages on your site.
If someone denied you, ask them why and see if they give you any hints that you can correct. In the meantime, be writing good quality posts.
Hi Kate
Before you apply to become an Affiliate for any company it is a good idea to have a really good amount of posts on your site as every company visits your site to see how developed it is and this is probably the reason you are getting declined
Add more content and it will eventually happen
Go well

CJ is good, the problem is the company you're affiliating to. I tried to affiiliate to Under Armour, but I know myself that company is a legit mess, so I haven't gotten an approval or anything from the company's side, CJ instead ha many other companies affiliated. Some have offered me to be an affiliate and I've applied to some others, it really depends on the company
Affiliate companies look for influence: traffic. You've only recently started up your blog, so it's likely that you just need more content and visitors.
Were I you, I would set aside some time to build up my website a little more, and then revisit affiliate applications.
I know it's not exciting advice, but truly, slow and steady does win the race :)

It does take time to get approved but your site must be so new and it wont have a lot on it so this will go against you.
More content is needed and there is plenty of time to start thinking about being an affiliate.
Cannot get approved as an affiliate - help?

Log into your site dashboard and navigate to Appearance > Customize. Once there click on Site Identity and make your changes. Don't forget to publish them to save them.
You can change the name of your website by clicking on "settings" in the left hand menu and then choosing "general" - in there you can change the title of your website and the tagline.
Thank you Lynne - the tag line is gone (I recall deleting this a while ago) yet it still shows up on my computer. I think this is because I am logged in as administrator. I will keep working at it. Thanks again!
