If you are a blogger or have a website in general.. you can make money at home with Affiliate Marketing Programs! What is an Affiliate Marketing Program you ask? Well.. put simple.. an Affiliate Marketing Program is a program that pays you a commission when someone purchases something they found via your blog or website. You can be a part of many different affiliate programs. Most are free to join and some will even allow you to create an online store and link it to your blog/website for free. The amount of commission you make per purchase varies with each program and each purchase made, but its typically between 4-10% commission. I know that’s not a lot, but affiliate programs also provide great content for the traffic on your site. Such as, I could say “Do you need some craft supplies to keep your kids busy while your working at home?? Buy them here!” and if you buy something on my site I make a small commission off of the sale, which in turn, helps my family. Affiliate Programs are a great way for bloggers to make a few extra dollars each month. I personally know each of these programs work because I am an Affiliate for them so I wanted to share with you a list of my Top 5 Favorite Affiliate Programs:
1. Amazon Affiliates: Amazon is one of the best affiliate programs online today! They have thousands of different products and anyone can find something they like on Amazon. If you have a niche blog or website you can build a store and gear your products towards your audience. Check out my store and see if it’s something you would want to do!
2. CafePress: CafePress is a unique website. You can make money a few different ways on CafePress. You can join their affiliate program and make 15% commission when anyone you refer makes a purchase from the CafePress Marketplace. You can also become a seller on CafePress and create your own designs to go on T-shirts, Mugs, Home Decor and more. You can create your own store and sell your own designed products, or sell products that other people have made and added to the Marketplace. If you don’t want to mess with a store but want your designs on products that anyone can buy.. you can join, design your products, upload them to the Marketplace and wait for your royalty checks to come in once they sell. I have a CafePress store.. Check out my designs and see if there is anything you like here! 🙂
3. Walmart: Walmart offers a great affiliate program. You have access to over 7 million products on their website and receive a commission that varies on each product. You get access to banner and product links you can display on your website or blog.
