There are so many affiliate networks out there, so it's a lot easier to just join one that has it all. In fact, they often have higher payouts than working directly with the advertise (because they are working with so many partners, they have a lot of traffic, so in the end it benefits you). I worked for a larger publishers so I had a great account manager who was responsive, but I'm not sure how it would work for smaller publishers.
Another thing I'd like to add: if you are a smaller publisher, this is a great network to join. Smaller publishers might have trouble hitting threshold on multiple networks, so when you have all of your traffic in one place, it's much easier to hit the minimum.

It's still great to have those direct relationships on your own. You can get the latest updates and have more room for customization.
The deep linking is great but doesn't work for everything. I would also consider it confusing if you were new to the affiliate world.
Lastly, the images sometimes aren't updated for a bit. That could be updated more frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Their customer support was responsive during onboarding/set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The publishers on this site are disappointing. You can use their search filters to finetune what you are looking for. And 100% of the time what you're going to find are really poor quality coupon sites, and publishers that don't actually do any publishing. That's right, a significant postion of their publishing marketplace are platforms that are actually trying to sell you their own services. Ah, and then there's another solid percentage that aren't in business any longer/dead links. It's a joke.
Read the fine print carefully. Not only do they not show you sampling of their publishers, you lose your activation fee, and a required escrow amount for payments if you want to cancel. Read the reviews here from other advertisers. Ah, wait, there aren't any... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I like about FlexOffers is, everyone can join their platform even with a smaller audience but first, you have to build your website or your platform trustworthy to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's nothing to be dislike FlexOffers, but I recommend they add more partners to their network, so every publisher can manage relationships with advertisers very easily in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that FlexOffers has so many brands on their network - thousands! You can find something for any niche. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a creator, it would be great if everything could be under one brand name instead of having to have our promotional platforms approved individually under different accounts (websites, socials and email) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This affiliate network is great for newbies because it has tons of popular merchants like top cell phone providers, the latest subscription boxes and best selling Android/iPhone apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My biggest pet peeve with Flex Offers is there's no PayPal payment option. Instead they use Payoneer or snail mail check in mail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
