These first few get offers that change all the time. Offer cap out fast and sometimes in just a few hours so if you want to run something do so quickly. Make sure to follow the rules for each offer.
Most will pay via check or PayPal unless stated.

Shop Her Media – This was formally MySavings. They have lots of great changing offers, some with a restriction on some like having to use particular verbiage or not using certain words. Just read it over.

Panthera Network – This one has some offers that are unique to them. Make sure you sort through them and do the offers your self first because they do have as many spammy ones as they do good ones. It's worth signing up and looking around.
The following affiliates are Networks that have different companies in them. Do if you talk about Best Buy you can have a link and anything bought from your link you earn a commission. It's a great way not to change how you are posting and just link to the item you talk about and earn money! They don't have to buy THAT item they can buy any item on the site as long, and they go through your link. Each network will have a different variation of places and some companies may be on more than one network.
With these networks you will have to ask to join each advertiser separately, so make sure your profile is filled out this is what they will approve or deny you on.
CJ – They have companies like 6 pm, ABCMouse, Groupon, Disney Store, Fandango, Expedia, Fed Ex, Walgreens and more.
Share a Sale – ABCMouse, CityPASS, American Greetings, Checkout 51, Zulily, Tea Collection, ModCloth and many mom and pop shops with great handmade stuff.
Link Share – This one has companies like Best Buy, Crocs, e.l.f cosmetics, Nordstrom and Starbucks.
