If you want to expand your reach, ShareASale is one of the best affiliate channels (particularly in the fashion vertical).

ShareASale is unique amongst many affiliate providers because its feed format requires categorization among other things.

A typical feed will have the following header:
“SKU”,”Name”,”URL to product”,”Price”,”Retail Price”,”URL to image”,”URL to thumbnail image”,”Commission”,”Category”,”SubCategory”,”Description”,”SearchTerms”,”Status”,”Your MerchantID”,”Custom 1″,”Custom 2″,”Custom 3″,”Custom 4″,”Custom 5″,”Manufacturer”,”PartNumber”,”MerchantCategory”,”MerchantSubcategory”,”ShortDescription”,”ISBN”,”UPC”,”CrossSell”,”MerchantGroup”,”MerchantSubgroup”,”CompatibleWith”,”CompareTo”,”QuantityDiscount”,”Bestseller”,”AddToCartURL”,”ReviewsRSSURL”,”Option1″,”Option2″,”Option3″,”Option4″,”Option5″,”ReservedForFutureUse”,”ReservedForFutureUse”,”ReservedForFutureUse”,”ReservedForFutureUse”,”ReservedForFutureUse”,”ReservedForFutureUse”,”ReservedForFutureUse”,”ReservedForFutureUse”,”ReservedForFutureUse”,”ReservedForFutureUse”

which should give you an indication of the fields. If you want to create a ShareASale feed, make sure you only have one row per product.

Adroll is a great remarketing channel along with Criteo and working directly with Facebook Dynamic Product Ads.

AWIN (formerly Affiliate Window or Zanox), is one of the largest worldwide affiliate networks.

Creating an AWIN feed is relatively simple, with a few differences from normal affiliate feeds.

You want to make sure your category taxonomy is as detailed as possible so they can advertise your products on the most accurate publishers.

If you sell clothing, you can also include more attributes for AWIN than in other verticals, like size, pattern, and material.

CJ Affiliate (now owned by Conversant) is one of the largest affiliate channels. It can be a great way to supplement sales on publisher websites like blogs relevant to your vertical.

Creating a feed for CJ Affiliate is no simple matter as it’s different than most other feed based channels out there, and their documention/feed specs is over 30 pages!

Houzz is one of the best marketplaces to sell home improvement, decor, and remodeling products.

You wouldn’t expect to find a Vegan at Longhorn Steakhouse, but whether you are being dragged for a family meal or by coworkers, Longhorn actually has some great Vegan options.

You won’t find a veggie burger, but you will find some good vegan options at Longhorn Steakhouse according to ApprovedEats, like vegan bread and seasoned fries.

Red Robin is a popular chain known for its tasty burgers, but for people who can’t eat dairy or lactose, there are still some options available.

ApprovedEats lists many different dairy-free or lactose-free options at Red Robin. Be sure to check for updated menu Red Robin items.

It seems like quite a few of the Red Robin burgers (so long as you don’t get cheese) will be dairy-free, like:

Reds Burger (NO cheese)

Reds Chicken Burger (NO cheese)

Reds Turkey Burger (NO cheese)

Reds Vegan Burger (NO cheese)

What’s awesome is you will also see the items that require a modification from the menu, just be sure to tell your Red Robin server.

If you’ve tried using the Google Adwords APIs to create ad customizer feeds, you’ll know how big of a pain it is.

Fortunately Feedonomics has figured out how to create dynamic text ads with ad customizers, so you can easily create dynamic and inventory aware ads for all your products.

One of the biggest advantages is you can create individual ads for each product, and also pause when that product goes out of stock, and activate when that product is in stock again.

If you’re dealing with the headache of getting products listed on Walmart through their bulk category Excel templates, Feedonomics has a simpler and more elegant solution to Walmart feed management.

Getting whitelisted to sell on Walmart is probably the simplest step, but the most difficult is dealing with Walmart’s Seller errors that disallow you from listing your products.

Once you get rid of errors, it’s critical to make sure your prices are the cheapest relative to the competition. By using a Walmart price tracker like PriceLasso, you can help increase orders through more competitive prices which typically results in higher control of the buy box.
