Are You Ready To Work Your Ass Off to Earn Your Lifestyle?
Are you tired of the daily grind? With a laptop and an internet connection I built a small website to generate income, and my life completely changed. Let me show you exactly how I’ve been doing it for more than 13 years.
As you will read further down below in this post, the sale of any kind of sex toy is a thriving online mail order business and has been since the 1970s. My number one selection for an affiliate marketing program is the oldest and most respected company in the adult sex toy industry.
When one thinks of technology they rarely think of adult toys, yet technology plays a huge role in the production of the toys. It is used to make them vibrate, rotate, inflate/deflate, and in their construction whether it be rubber, latex, jelly, metal, or glass. Yes glass, and I will touch on this more in just a bit. In fact, the website touchofmodern.com, which is about men’s style, fashion, tech, and art, has an entire section of ‘advanced male masturbation’ devices that have been recently developed.
Here is another area where technology has played a role in the advancement of adult toys. Many couples desire to make love in the shower or in a hot tub, but most times a lubricant needs to be used. However a majority of the standard lubes become ineffective quickly when introduced to water. Technology solved this in 2008.
One thing you need to understand is that the adult toys niche contain a ton of different products and sub niches, which is one of the reason why it can be a very profitable niche to get into. Just like a car needs gasoline to run, a majority of sex toys need lube to be used safely and effectively. This is why lubes are a very popular sub niche. Let us look at more.
- G-spot vibrators
- Anal vibrators
- Clitoral stimulators (known as rabbit vibrators)
- Inflatable sex dolls
- Anal toys and butt plugs
- Stainless steel toys
- Male masturbators
- Strap on dildos
- Bondage gear and accessories
- Condoms
- Sex furniture
- Lingerie
Many of those sub niches above also have sub niches, and I didn’t even list them all. It can literally blow your mind at just how many kinds of toys and accessories are available on the market that are used by both men and women. One must remember when taking on this niche that men, both homosexual and heterosexual, also use sex toys.
You cannot think of adult toys as just something you hold in your hand or insert into the body. Anything that enhances the sexual desire of a person is considered a form of sex toy. Even adult DVD movies and lingerie are sub niches of the adult toys genre, both having many sub niches of their own.
This niche is extremely huge as is evident in the top three affiliate programs I have selected below. These companies service an entire culture and in some cases a way of life that is very vibrant, though not as visible within the mainstream. Just because it is not as visible, does not mean it cannot be hugely profitable.
Top 3 Affiliate Programs For Adult Toys
My Thoughts
In doing the research for this adult toys niche blog, I found that you will have to be somewhat specific in your keyword research in order to find low competition keywords. Using common words like latex vibrator is not going to cut it. People who buy these products will want to read detailed reviews, which you can glean from those already online.
As someone is unfamiliar with this industry, I had to consult an “expert” friend of mine. His ex-girlfriend was very much into adult toys. Based on his advice, my number one affiliate program selection is with a company he has purchased from many years ago, in part because they offered great product reviews. He also has first hand experience in knowing their products are second to none. Now that I have researched their affiliate program, I can see they use that same professionalism in their marketing and sales.
The other affiliate programs I offer below all have commissions that are over 10% and up to 20%. In addition they all carry a wide selection of adult toys and with many also selling sexy and fantasy lingerie. I cannot see you having a problem making money with any of these affiliate programs.
Remember! You’ll be able to find even more appropriate programs as you niche-down your and find more specific audiences for your website.

Comments: Adam & Eve is the nation’s largest marketer of adult products with millions of satisfied customers worldwide. They opened in March of 1971, and they are one of the oldest mail order companies in the adult industry. For decades they have built a time-tested reputation for honesty and reliability in an industry known for shady business dealings.
Though I could not find how long their affiliate tracking cookie is, they are still my number one choice for their track record as stated above, their user friendly website, their 30% cookie which is the highest in the industry, their inventory of products which is also the most comprehensive, a 24/7 knowledgeable customer service department, and for the many national safe sex awareness education programs they sponsor.
Vibrators.com

- Focus: All kinds of vibrators as their name suggests. Regular vibrators, vibrating anal toys, vibrating bullets, rotators and stimulators, strap on

Comments: Vibrators.com is the world’s most professional place to shop for any kind of adult vibrator toys. They started in 1998 and following the industry leader, Adam & Eve above, they have taken the professional approach to offering a vast inventory of vibrating adult novelties. They don’t just offer products but offer information on how to choose, use and clean the toys.
They are my number 2 selection for three reasons. They have the longest tracking cookie at 180 days and they have a vast selection of vibrators for many parts of the body for women, men and couples. And I like the 1950s and 1960s Pin Up style graphics of their user friendly website.
Shop in Private

- Commissions: 10.8%
Comments: The slogan of Shop In Private is “the world’s most private store.” This is because they not only sell many different adult toys for both women and men but also some of the more obscure and weird private products such as dildos shaped like a human fist, enema or anal douche products and oral sex gel that is bacon flavored. With over 1,500 items people consider embarrassing to buy offline, they have it online.
It is because of this wide variety of weird and unusual private merchandise and their above average cookie of 60 days that they are my number 3 choice. Your website visitors will love what Shop In Private carries, which is some really interesting and useful items that people can’t resist. They have been in business since 1998 and have served over 300,000 customers.

Affiliate Marketing Action Plan For Adult Toys
Getting involved in this niche will require you to become familiar with all of the products and sub niches available. Remember to think of this niche as more than something that is made of rubber and is phallic shaped. You can learn a lot by just browsing through the online catalogs. But for now let me show you what I would do if I were to take on this niche.
About six years ago glass sex toys came on the scene and were very popular then cooled off a bit. But once people realized at how safe they were, you can drop them on the floor and they will not even crack, and how easy they are to keep clean, just as easy as a drinking glass, their popularity has increased.
Now five years later there are more kinds of glass toys available in all varieties of colored glass. Some are actually quite artsy. This is how I would approach getting involved with the adult toys niche. Glass toys are more hypoallergenic than any other kind of toy. This sub niche provides everything better and safer than its peers and is why I would choose this particular sub niche.
Your target audience could be people with certain allergies that mean they cannot use plastic or rubber. Alongside glass toys, you could also promote lubes, oils, and other products that are less likely to cause allergic reactions. If you get stuck for ideas of what to write about, remember that you don’t have to just review glass products! You can write about common allergies, how to use the products, how to clean them, and other informative articles.
