I love that it tracks all sales and commission for affiliates, and takes care of their taxes!
I feel the Interface could be updated to be more user friendly
tracking sales with affiliates and making sure they have taxes
1-Once the integration was live. Then adding or editing events was easier. 2-Easy to QA and approve the work done by affiliates
1-Integration is painful. Very low support on specific custom issues one is going to face. 2-Noise is high. Hard to pick the right player to pick. 3-No way to define what audience/persona you are looking for 4-Costly. I believe the cost is 40%-50% bloated.

Higher price based on different service level are increasing the costs
Realist track, publisher manegment
I like the filter search of the programs that they have. It's a very intuitive platform and you get handy all information needed to succeed. Once you are in, you start providing all the information about your website, but you can add as many websites as you want on the same account. Also, they recently added the choice to be paid through Payoneer which makes it very useful for many freelancers or bloggers. Awin is a platform that has been made for affiliate marketers, is a good option as long as your desirable company uses it in order to look for partnerships. But, remember that every platform is different and the rate for earning may be different too.
You have to pay a 5$ fee to get into the platform and you will get the fee back once you cash out but It can take a while to make it. Another thing I have to say is that the customer service isn't great. It can take a long time in order that someone can answer your questions so, I would suggest looking first at the answers on the faqs or in related blogs that talk about the common issues it may appear.
Awin has allowed me to be upfront with many possible companies looking for partnerships. Awin let me see my stats, clicks, converting rates of all the people that come to my website. If you are interested in Awin check first if the company you would like to work with is in there or at least check out which companies are useful for your blog or business at Awin before getting in.
I have been using the AWIN affiliate network for quite some time and the best thing about it is that they have lots of campaigns to choose from, from various countries, like the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, etc. Also, you can contact the advertisers directly for fast approval.
The AWIN affiliate network requires a 1 GBP sign up fee which I dislike because other affiliate networks don't ask for any fee for an account sign up, they offer it for free.
As AWIN's campaigns database is big, we can earn good commissions from their programs. We are currently using their programs for the UK region. Their tracking system is good as it shows sales in real time.
Easy to create campaigns, discounts and promotions without any problems. Finding new publishers to collaborate with is a breeze.
Lack of bulk importing promotions and discounts via Spreadsheet/Excel
Awin makes CPA marketing quite easy.
Firstly the initial onboarding is flawless. Once you’ve onboarded the publisher recommendations kick in which really help you to learn the types of publishers that work best for your product. Finally the cost of acquiring customers becomes extremely affordable giving you a great Road
Not a great deal to dislike about Awin, it does what it says on the tin. Everything has been thought about already
Building brand awareness and increasing sales. The customer acquisition is cost effective and fits in with our overall marketing strategy and opens up a new channel
The platform is easy to implement on a technical side. Tracking snippets are simple for any engineer to implement quickly. AWIN provides a decent API for additional data. Flexible rules for for different partners, allowing custom affiliate rates and groups.
List of publishers that apply to our affiliate program are spam or low-rate publishers Finding partners or people to join your affiliate program is still on the affiliate program owner. The list of publishers are not great, and most don't provide value or are not in a similar market or country.
AWIN provided the platform for our affiliate program used by our partners. AWIN makes it easy to have a hands-off affiliate program that takes care of billing, tracking, and reporting.
