Ask Anik: “Affiliate Marketing Does Not Allow My Country?”
Saturday, December 9th, 2006 at 1:30 am by Anik Singal
We just received a question recently by an AC reader that asked:
“Services like clickbank and paypal don’t allow my country, so can I still do affiliate marketing?”
Our Answer:
This is definitely not the first time we have received this question and unfortunately the answer is not the best one. There is really no “easy” way around a network or service that does not allow your country.
However, yes, you still can do affiliate marketing - you just have to find programs outside those networks.
Let’s not forget that many choose to run their own affiliate programs. For these programs, you can simply contact the site owner or the affiliate manager and explain your situation to them.
Even for those companies that are running their program through a network, it never hurts to contact them. You never know if they have an external solution they can put you through.
Unfortunately the countries that are blocked out are blocked because of a high occurrance of fraud - they have no choice but to try their best to protect themselves and their clients.

Needless to mention about the countries that doesn’t offer the affiliate network to flourish. Some in the early 90’s itself, were allowed but due to the fraud techniques followed, the networks imposed a ban on these countries. Hope if everything goes well…they may allow the banned ones.
