How to become a successful affiliate in The Netherlands

We are sure you’ve seen TikTok clips and Instagram Reels of online ‘influencers’ telling you how easy it is to make passive income online or to become rich and famous with simple affiliate marketing, but there is more to it than just posting a few links to ecommerce sites on a website or blog. It takes a lot of time to build a large following that would then become a tool for you to use as an affiliate marketer. There are also different rules to follow.

What is affiliate marketing?

In simple terms, affiliate marketing is just another term used for the promotion of products and/or services. The idea is that a company is promoted through another company’s blog, website, social media channel, or these days, their podcast. There is the advertiser on one side of the process, looking for their products to be promoted, and the publisher on the other side of the process who creates content and shares the ad within their own posts.

Examples of affiliate marketing sectors

Finding your niche is a big and important step with affiliate marketing. Choosing a niche that fits with your character, interests, and persona will help you to become successful. A genuine interest in an area will make it much more likely that you can promote products and services in an authentic way. Let’s look at a few of the options:

Gambling affiliates

A gambling affiliate network, as an example of an affiliate industry, is where publishers (affiliates) are connected with affiliate programs that allow them to promote offers and content that is related to gambling like Play North and their affiliate program. As there is a new and growing market in the Netherlands for consumers to bet on the go, or to play online casino games on their mobile phones, it can be a profitable market for affiliates in the country.

SaaS and technology

This is one of the top niche areas for 2024 and a massive market. Technology is integral to our everyday lives, and with the fast evolution of tech, new products and services reach the market all the time, including many Software as a Service (SaaS) products, tech gadgets, wearable tech, and software apps.

Education and e-learning

In a post-covid world this is a sector that is set to boom in popularity. It is all about creating highly engaging, innovative and motivating content for both young students and adult learners to benefit from. This content is about inspiring people to pursue continuous learning and to develop and grow in different key areas of their lives.

How to get started in affiliate marketing

Should you be looking to be successful as an affiliate in the Netherlands it is important to know there is a journey to follow and signposts for you to look out for. There is no clear road to success but there are some things that you need to do and plenty of hard work to put in (show me any successful job that doesn’t require hard work and dedication!).

To make money from affiliate marketing you need to:

Register with KVK (Netherlands Chamber of Commerce) or update your business activities if you are already registered
Check your taxes and insurance if your work might include overseas projects
Build your website visitors and potential reach, as this boosts your attractiveness to advertisers
Find an affiliate network that links advertisers and publishers
Decide on what you want to promote and why
Sign up to an affiliate network that makes the most sense for you. You’ll need a domain name to sign up, so make sure you have a functioning website and that it meets advertising rules
Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of the networks you are involved with, so that you follow rules and work within the set parameters
Choose an advertiser to work with and be sure on what the percentage of sales price is available for promoting products
Link to a product as high up the page in whatever content you publish, as this is more likely to entice clicks from interested readers
Optimise content so that it is more likely to be found in search engines (SEO is important)
Make content readable, engaging, and shareable
Think about utilising social media channels to promote content and collaborate further with the advertiser

All of the above steps take time and patience. Always check back, try new things out, and be willing to learn constantly, as this is the way to find out about new niche markets, and where you can optimise your own performance within a wide range of areas to gain those percentage points of improvement that add up to an overall improvement.

These are just some of the steps that you can take to have the best chance of success as an affiliate in the Netherlands. It is never a quick journey to mega money and stardom, but with due diligence, a hard work ethic, and creative thinking, you can be successful and make some money through affiliate marketing.

TheVoice

Since 2018, one of the iGaming affiliate leaders, AskGamblers, has been partnering with N1 Partners, right from the beginning of the affiliate program’s rise. This collaboration has evolved into a proven growth engine for both brands.

Partnering for Scale: Why AskGamblers Chose N1 Partners

Working together, AskGamblers and N1 Partners have leveraged data-driven optimisation across GEOs. This lets AskGamblers scale traffic and conversions while N1 Partners deepens its footprint across key markets.

When the N1 Puzzle Promo was announced, the AskGamblers team shared their reaction:

“We received exciting news from our esteemed N1 Partners affiliate manager regarding this promotion. We are particularly thrilled about the grand prize – a helicopter – and are fully committed to participating with the goal of winning it!” said the AskGamblers team.

Driving SEO Traffic: The AskGamblers Formula

The AskGamblers’ focus is on providing genuine value and a high-quality user experience, so that visitors don’t just arrive, but return. That aligns seamlessly with N1 Partners’ philosophy of not just driving volume, but building players with retention and lifetime value.

“Secrets and tips exist in every domain. Still, great things are accomplished through hard work, an open mind, adaptability, and curiosity. Users will come back because of the added value and the best experience,” the AskGamblers team emphasised.

Stepping into the Race: AskGamblers Joins the N1 Puzzle Promo

When N1 Partners launched its huge-scale promotion campaign, the N1 Puzzle Promo, AskGamblers was quick to take a leading position. This promo offers a global affiliate competition with standout luxury prizes, including a grand prize – Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter – and a leaderboard structure that drives performance.

As soon as the promo launched, the AskGamblers team decided to go for the grand prize and dominate the leaderboard. With the guidance and support of N1 Partners’ affiliate team, the AskGamblers team selected several brands from the N1 portfolio, prioritising high-converting brands within the network, pivoted resources, and increased focus on SEO and long-term traffic value.

Leaderboard Mindset: Motivation, Competition & Expectations

AskGamblers is a highly competitive team, and the N1 Puzzle Promo format hits the mark. For N1 Partners, this speaks directly to our goal: bringing top-tier affiliates into big campaigns where they can shine and scale.

As participants get closer to the final stage of the N1 Puzzle Promo, the competition becomes even more intense, with the AskGamblers team confidently maintaining its position in the top 10 and actively moving towards the prize-winning places.

Beyond Traffic: What Success Looks Like

If AskGamblers wins the helicopter, the vision is as bold as it is fun.

“Wouldn’t it be great to skip notorious traffic and take a helicopter ride to the next iGaming event?” said the AskGamblers team.

Such an approach shows that this is about partnership, performance, and flair — not just metrics.

The N1 Puzzle Promo runs through the end of 2025, giving you a live chance to climb the leaderboard, win luxury prizes, and capture the grand prize: a Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter.

Don’t wait, sign up now, drive high-quality traffic and earn puzzle pieces! With N1 Partners’ multi-brand affiliate program, dedicated support, and global reach, your chances of rewards are streamlined. Join the race, collect your puzzle pieces, and hit the top!

Power affiliate QiH Group rebrands to Quantum to reflect ambitious diversification strategy

The tech powerhouse has a new website, name and branding that are set to take the affiliate marketing company into the next 10 years.

Quantum International Holdings, the affiliate formerly known across the tech, sports, iGaming betting industries as QiH Group has launched its official rebrand to Quantum. With a new-look website, logo and assets, the company has chosen the pared down name to reflect the strategic direction it will be taking, starting in 2026.

Speaking about the change, Quantum CEO Jamie Walters said: “I’m incredibly proud and excited to share the next chapter in our journey: the evolution of QiH into Quantum. For over a decade, QiH has been our foundation, a story of success, growth and innovation in iGaming. But the world – especially digitally – moves fast, and so do we.

“‘Quantum’ was already in our name, so we’ve simplified and streamlined, and it now represents the next version of who we are and where we’re going. A rebrand is about a lot more than a new logo, colours and identity – we’ve also evolved our mindset, ambition and of course, our strategic direction.

Walters continues: “Over the past few months, the Quantum team has worked tirelessly to get to this exciting new stage for our growth. We’re building on everything that has already made QiH Group so brilliant – our talent, creativity, and data-driven approach – and supercharging it to perform on the biggest global stage.

“Our vision is simple: to expand our affiliate marketing roots to become the world’s most-used digital comparison service, delivering simplicity and value to millions of users around the globe.”

Tom Murch, creative director at Quantum, shared: “The rebrand brief was simple: evolution. This wasn’t just about a new identity, it was about building on a decade of growth and turning momentum into acceleration. Quantum is the brave new chapter in our story, a brand, a strategy, a mindset, and a framework for high performance culture at scale and where elite talent can really thrive.”

The story so far

QiH Group was launched in London in 2014 to address a gap in the iGaming affiliate market for smart, digital-first, data-focused affiliate partnerships for iGaming operators.

The company has seen a host of accolades, such as:

Moving from 21st to 15th on EGR Global’s Power Affiliates list in 2025
Growing from five initial employees to 60 now
Hiring an experienced C-suite of talent, including a CFO, CMO and CTO and promoting internally for their COO
Building our entire tech team from outsourced to a fully in-house, tech capability, expanding the team from 0 to 14 employees this year
Shortlisted for eight major awards in iGaming, from Employer of the Year to Affiliate of the Year
Fostering years-long relationships with Tier 1 operators

“2026 and beyond are going to be incredibly exciting times for Quantum, and we’re so pleased to be bringing a new look, simplified name and a honed strategic direction and operational delivery for our clients – and of course, an environment where our talented and ambitious team can thrive,” says Walters.
