Make Money With Affiliate Marketing

The Internet offers boundless possibilities for earning a living online. Upwork and Freelancers Union found that 35% of the American workforce did some freelance work in 2019. Furthermore, 77% of them said that technology made it easier to find freelance work.

Affiliate marketing is one way to make money on the Internet. Affiliate marketing is supposed to produce passive income, but does it really work? Let’s take a closer look.Key Takeaways In simple terms, affiliate marketing means selling goods and services from another person or company Nine percent of publishers surveyed produced more than $50,000 in affiliate income in 2016.Always remember that you're likely to make more money with affiliate marketing content that is similar to your own. Traditional advertisements and selling your own products can help if your affiliate-marketing revenue dries up. Affiliate Marketing Defined In simple terms, affiliate marketing means selling goods and services from another person or company. It is like a referral service. You set up a website or blog and join affiliate programs that are relevant to your audience. You can connect to these programs through affiliate networks, which provide you with a link that you include on your site. When someone clicks the link and buys the product, you get a portion of the sale as a commission.

How Much Can You Earn?

The affiliate marketing industry is growing steadily. Statista reported that spending on affiliate marketing in the U.S. was predicted to reach $8.2 billion by 2022. That's up considerably from $5.4 billion in 2017 and $1.6 billion in 2010.Another study from VigLink offers a closer look at just how much income affiliate marketers are making. According to the survey, 9% of publishers produced more than $50,000 in affiliate income in 2016. The majority of merchants—65%—said they were making between 5% and 20% of their annual revenue from affiliate marketing. The survey also showed a link between experience and revenues. Among the merchants with the most revenue, 60% had been involved in affiliate marketing for five years or more.

65%

This majority of merchants said they were making between 5% and 20% of their annual revenue from affiliate marketing.

The biggest benefit of affiliate marketing is that you can more or less earn revenue on autopilot once it is up and running. All you need is a steady flow of traffic to your blog or website. However, there are some downsides.

Make Money With Affiliate Marketing in 11 Easy Steps

Affiliate marketing is a fantastic way to build passive income that will continue to flow in, even when you’re spending time on other projects. It’s one of the fastest and most effective ways to begin making an income from your blog or website, even when you’re still building up your following and reputation.

By targeting the right audience, you can enjoy commission while recommending your favorite products and services; and the best part is that affiliate marketing works for all niches.

However, bloggers and niche site owners tend to make a few mistakes that limit their chances of affiliate success. Here’s our guide on how to make money with affiliate marketing so you can maximize profit, making every post pay.

Since there are many considerations involved, please read the full guide before implementing or making any changes to your affiliate posts.

Before continue - If you are uncertain about the future, frustrated with your current situation, or simply desire the freedom of Internet Business ownership. THIS ARTICLE WILL HELP YOU >>

Make Money With Affiliate Marketing Today

1. Target the Right Audience

When I first started implementing an affiliate process, I applied for popular affiliate programs and inserted the affiliate link into my popular posts.

While this affiliate ‘trickle-down effect’ will make you some income, it’s not the best strategy for affiliate success. You need to catch the reader with their credit card in their hand to start making consistent sales.

To really start making money from affiliates, you need to flip your affiliate game around and start the process by choosing the right product/service, that are essential to your target audience, that have prime keywords to help you rank your affiliate article on page one of Google.

For example, instead of just adding Amazon product affiliate links to your guide on studying for finals, you can choose a product that you know will help students study and target the keywords they would be using to search for such products.

Why not do both? You can make money through both methods, but the more targeted approach will likely make more. Track the income to see which type of post brings in the most income.

So How Do I Rank on Google?

This process is called search engine optimization (SEO). If you are not familiar with SEO I suggest you read our introductory guide here and sign up for our free 4-part SEO course. Part of SEO is keyword research.

This helps you target keywords with a decent volume and low competition so you can appear on page one of SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) in Google.

SEO will allow you to reach the right audience who want to buy the affiliate product or service.

We call this process writing ‘money-making’ posts. You can make affiliate income from social media but you need an engaged audience to do so. An active newsletter list is another funnel that you can target.

For us, SEO offers the best outcomes for our travel and food sites when it comes to monetizing through affiliates so this guide is going to focus on using SEO.

2. Choose Products/Services to Promote

When deciding what affiliate products to promote, don’t just choose the popular ones. Really consider the following things:

The affiliate and the product. Do you stand behind the company? Is it something your audience needs or wants? Is it a high enough price point to actually make money from? What commission will you receive? What is the cookie window?

How a buyer would purchase the product. Will they buy right away or consider their decision first? This will affect what kind of marketing you need to do.

What is the user intent of the target audience? For example, what does the Google searcher asking for ‘best neighborhoods in New York’ want? Hotels? Houses for sale? What does a searcher asking for ��best slow cooker” want?

3. Consider the Buying Cycle

You need to appeal to readers who are ready to purchase in order for them to get out their credit card and make the purchase right away. So be sure you choose keywords that target the decision/buying stage. These people are beyond the information-gathering stage and are ready to buy as soon as they find the right product.

Using buying words and phrases will attract decision-stage readers. Here are some example buying words:

Product reviews

This product vs That product

Best luxury product or best budget product

For women … for men … for families

If you think you have a chance of ranking on page one of Google with your post, then don’t worry so much about the volume of the keyword. It’s better to rank well for smaller volume keywords than to not rank for high volume ones.

I used to believe you needed a large audience to make money but that’s not true, you need a targeted audience. With affiliate marketing, it is better to have a hundred views that convert, than a thousand that don’t.

For example, one of my targeted money-making posts makes 3x the commission in comparison to another post that receives a ton of views but isn’t targeted.

Affiliate links work much better in a targeted post.

4. Solve a Problem

You can add an affiliate link to just about any post, but the ones that will begin to make money are the ones that solve a problem.

The best way to tackle this is to brainstorm your audience’s pain points. Think about an issue that causes a problem for your audience – something they struggle with.

What are the top three things that keep your audience up at night?

Such as how to source a recipe ingredient they can’t get at home, or how to choose the best elliptical machine when there are so many similar options on the market. Those are the affiliate products you should introduce to your audience.

After brainstorming, conduct keyword research to see if people are actively looking for a solution to that problem on Google. If there is search volume, and the post you write solves the problem, you will begin to make affiliate sales.

Note: Don’t forget to consider whether you can compete against the top ten posts in the SERPs. If there are already dozens of people solving that problem, you might have a hard time getting your solution in front of readers.

Write an in-depth and very useful guide for your audience about that pain point. Identify the issue, empathize with the issue, and introduce your product that solves the issue.

5. Choose The Right Affiliate Programs

When choosing an affiliate program, at the very least you have to consider the following:

Commission – What percentage will you make? Or is there a flat fee you will receive per sale?

Cookie Window – How long does a reader have to purchase in order for you to get the commission?

For example, Booking.com’s direct program gives a 25% commission on the amount they make (not the full hotel booking amount) with no cookie window, whereas Amazon has a sliding scale for commission, product depending, and a 24-hour cookie window.

More advanced site owners will also consider the overall company conversion rate before applying too because the company’s ability to make the sale after you’ve led a reader to them is also very important.

6. Consider the Types of Affiliate Programs

Some companies choose to host a direct affiliate program like Booking.com and Amazon Associates.

Others go via a third party where you sign up for the third-party program (like Commission Junction or Awin), then you must also apply for the individual affiliate program.

There are companies covering every niche thinkable in these third-party sites.

Here are some of the affiliate marketing programs we use on our sites (travel, food and SEO):

Amazon Associates – Direct Amazon product sales

ShareASale – Third party, shop for merchants once you sign up

VigLink now Sovrn Commerce – Third party, shop for merchants once you sign up

CJ – Third party, shop for merchants once you sign up

Partnerize was Performance Horizon – Third party, shop for merchants once you sign up

Awin – Third party, shop for merchants once you sign up

Food52 – Recipes, kitchenware

Avantlink – A collection of international merchants.

7. Focus On The Perfect Products

There are a few ways in which you may be choosing the wrong products or services.

Firstly, you are pitching a product that just does not convert.

It might not be right for your audience, it might have poor conversion rates for the company selling it, the product or service is not available all year round, you’ve failed to optimize the post for that product (see next section) and/or you can’t rank for target keywords (see above).

Secondly, you only focus on low-priced products with low commission rates which in return does not make you much in revenue.

Naturally, in the beginning, you may not want to target high-value products because you don’t think you can sell them. However, you need to break out of that mindset. It’s not about the price of the product, it’s about identifying a need and finding a product that fulfills that need.

A low commission rate isn’t always a negative. If you sell alot of the product, you create a high average order rate (AOV). In some cases, this can earn you additional income for bringing in a lot of sales.

Note: For some affiliates, the reader doesn’t have to buy the product or service you recommend for you to receive a commission. For example, with Amazon, don’t be surprised if you see pet-related goods showing up in your reports when you promote well being products. Although dogs are a great source of happiness, it just means the reader has read your guide, clicked through to Amazon from one of your product links then continued shopping for other items.

This isn’t always something to be celebrated though as it can indicate that the reader did not complete the buying cycle for the targeted keywords/product or service.

8. Optimize Your Affiliate Posts

You may have SEO down but your content isn’t converting for affiliates. There are many reasons that your links might not be converting, such as lack of calls to action, placing it in the wrong spot in the post, and not making the buying signals clear enough.

To fix this issue, see below for some great ideas.

Deep Linking

For many affiliate programs, in-text affiliate links that are naturally placed within context convert better than widgets and images. Widgets can slow your page speed down too.

Clear Calls to Action (CTAs)

CTAs are buying signals, like buy here, act now, check prices, reserve your spot, etc. Not including CTAs might leave your readers without a clear understanding of what they should do. If you use Gutenberg you can use the colored boxes function, bottoms or separating lines to make callouts stand out. You can also create your own CTA boxes using this code: <div style=”background-color: #FEA8EA; padding: 1.0em; max-width: 25.0em; margin: 1.0em 0; border: solid 1.0px #FEA8EA;”><strong> Don’t miss out. Buy today! </div> Example:

Don’t miss out. Buy today!

Change the color coding to match your brand colors. You can also change the thickness of the box.

Linking is such an important part of the post-building process. Read this article and never miss a step again.

Sense of Emotion

Every good marketer knows that fear sells. If you can paint a picture from personal experience which outlines why the reader should buy the product and add a sense of urgency or excitement, you could increase your selling power. Remember, solve a problem!

Avoid Affiliate Stuffing

Just like keyword stuffing, you can overdo affiliates too. Sure you want to encourage click-through, but having an affiliate in every paragraph looks spammy and can be overwhelming.

Sell naturally by putting a personal spin on it. If you’re trying to sell products you don’t use yourself, it will come across as unnatural and salesy.

Use Professional Plugins

There are a couple of affiliate plugins which improve the user experience (UX) as well as making items stand out.

AAWP – Creates stylish Amazon tables, authorized to pull prices which is against T+Cs for you

Thirsty Links – An easy-to-use link cloaking plugin. Redirects your messy + sometimes spammy looking links to a neat URL. Tracks too

Mobile User Experience

Do not ignore mobile user experience. Google now ranks the mobile version of your site, so always evaluate how your posts look to mobile users.

Ask a friend to check for you, sometimes it’s difficult to see issues with your own posts.

9. Track Your Affiliates

Affiliate marketing is not a set-it-and-forget-it process.

Question any affiliate course that screams ‘make money while you sleep’.

Sure, you will be selling while you get shut-eye but to make a lot of money you have to stay on top of securing Google rankings through SEO and working out what affiliate placement is working.

If an affiliate program offers a way for you to track the specific link that is being clicked, use it. This will give you great insight into what links are converting, and what links aren’t.

Check frequently to see what placement is working and be willing to adjust it when it’s not.

Is it a deep link, a buying signal CTA, a button or a box? Can you replicate what it working elsewhere? If it’s not working, tweak it. Business is about calculated risk.

.

What products are selling? Brainstorm more content, do keyword research and publish.

If you have ads running on your site it might be worth removing them for money-making posts or at least manipulating ad placement, so they don’t detract from the money you could be making.  

Even worse, ads can display the same affiliate partner so your reader may be seeing ads promoting the affiliate partner and if they click the ad instead of your link, that’s an affiliate sale lost for you.

This can happen if the reader has looked at the affiliate partner site before.  

10. Build Relationships

Many bloggers are resistant to following the advice of affiliate partners, and believe me, I was one of them.

For example, whenever I was contacted by a company who wanted me to become an affiliate and start mentioning their product in my posts, I wondered why I should give a company free advertisement on my site. They should pay for that exposure, right? Not necessarily.

While some affiliates will pay for advertisement in addition to the affiliate commission, most won’t.

Effectively, the affiliate commission is your payment for advertising their product. You become partners and agree to positively promote their product on your site, which begins to make you a trusted brand ambassador.

One of my Facebook followers asked if I trusted GetYourGuide tours, which I am an affiliate for. I could honestly say yes because I’ve used them personally.

Create an open dialogue with affiliate partners. Email often, discuss ideas, ask for reports if they are not readily available. Some partners will be into this, others won’t care. You just have to keep wooing!

Don’t ignore the wee guys. Some of our most successful affiliate partners are brands you’ve probably not heard about.

If you are uncertain about the future, frustrated with your current situation, or simply desire the freedom of Internet Business ownership. THIS ARTICLE WILL HELP YOU >>

Don’t disregard every email from affiliates as spam. Be very diligent with the companies that find you via your top ranking posts. They understand SEO, too. It’s a killer combo for affiliate income.

Don’t be afraid to ask for placement fees if you can guarantee Return On Investment (ROI). Some companies do have a budget for this. It is more likely that you will have success if the company contacted you. Especially if they found you on page one of Google for a buying keyword.

Attend industry events so you can meet partners face to face. Invite your favorite partners to conferences. If they are going already, arrange to meet for a casual drink or more officially during a speed-networking slot.

11. Don’t Think You’re An Affiliate Expert

We see this too often. Bloggers make a month of sales and suddenly they know everything about affiliates, so they start a company telling other bloggers how to make money from affiliates.

Affiliate marketing is a long-term commitment. It takes at least a year of analysis to understand the full cycle of your affiliates: the ebbs and flows of traffic, the buying trends, the low season, Black Friday/Cyber Monday rush, the damn cancellations and returns.

Sure, get excited about the first affiliate sales, but don’t get too emotionally attached until the monthly revenue is consistent and growing.

Would the bank give you a mortgage on your current sales?

Readers, always check the credentials of those selling you advice and courses. Make sure they can back up what they say with actual data and proof.

Check the testimonials for blogging courses are by bloggers and site owners, not Instagram accounts owners. These are completely different platforms.

Current Affiliate Issues

When you start really digging deep into affiliates and improving your conversions, you will likely run into a few issues that you need to be aware of so you don’t get burned.

Affiliates can change contracts when they want and they do! Laura once applied to a program that offered 12% commission only to find they changed the commission rate a month later to 1%.

Affiliate partners change programs and they may or may not tell you about it. That means you have to change the links to the new affiliate program or they will become defunct.

Many affiliate dashboards are confusing and require a degree to understand and navigate. We’re spoiled by Google Analytics/Search Console. Why can’t every affiliate have something similar?

When a reader clicks on your affiliate link and it clicks through to the mobile app instead of a browser, are you making that referral sale? With the majority of our readers viewing our posts via mobile it is something we should all be questioning our affiliate partners.

Final Words

The biggest change you will see in affiliate earnings will be when you start thinking strategically about your affiliate partnerships and links, rather than just tossing a link in whenever it seems convenient.

Start acting like a business person who is in it for the long run and is confident in making strategic risks for increased gains.

If anybody runs a arts/crafts/any kind of shop that they post about on their tumblr, please send me a message (see below)

Heya,

Loads of tags - all kinda shots in the dark but still.  This is a crumby blog (look at the picture) even worse (kinda new) site but I told my best friend never speak to me again unless I finish up 2 programs i been working on by the end of the week.

SO!  I’m using tumblr API for one of them 

and the point is a program that finds tumblr blogs that run their own shops online, and it has to filter out blogs that are just affiliated with shops, advertising for larger companies, or spamming.  

I haven’t had reallly any trouble finding tumblrs with etsy shops, BUT it’s been hard finding people who have ebay shops, maybe people who sell on amazon.

Also, there’s prolly plenty of platforms for small online shops i don’t really know about, but a lot of those I realized were not genuine, they were just sorta just obfuscating the spamming.  If you do run one of those shops on your own though, it would be a lot of help

please lmk if you have a blog where you promote YOUR OWN (and i’ll figure out if not) shop, so I can take a look at it and see how the program will check and verify stuff.  

i’ve been on tumblr since 2011 and its been up and down, a LOT down for most of that time, but imo the API is way way way wide open so like the damage is done... at least maybe use it for something helpful for people on the site for once instead of spam/porno bots.  Maybe in the future this project would turn into some kind of affiliation thing, but right now it’s mostly just because I’m working on spam filters (so I first started making a program to Avoid blogs that linked to shops) but then i realized a lot of them were still genuine, so lmk.  please.

tumblr itself puts something called viglink in its redirects (to certain sites), so tumblrs makes money when you promote your own shops, and like so far working on this program has been pretty fun, and I just want to include other stores besides etsy bc I don’t wanna just be like... you know just promoting one online merchant platform.  wouldn’t necessarily be a “bot” account.  Would maybe automatically output to a sub-blog.  Would not use this kind of mess of tags like on this post (bc that’s malicious bot practice)

anyway, lmk

3 Steps to Make Money Through Affiliate Marketing Blogs

Affiliates earn commission by endorsing a product and the commonly use the pay-per-action method which is a way for a blogger to make money only if the reader takes an action such as asking for details about the product, and making a purchase.

Any powerful content will bring loyal readers and loyal readers lead to high conversion rates.

But there are other ways to increase conversion rates. Here are three of them.

Affiliate Program

Once you have your marketing content strategies all set up, you should now focus on choosing affiliate programs and they need to be reliable. However, you have to do it based on the type of articles you are posting. Say you are posting a blog posts for a specific niche — vehicle parts. So, you have to learn to be an affiliate for vehicle merchandisers. Most of the affiliates start with Amazon’s affiliate programs because of the variety of products that it offers fitting almost any niche and because of its lucrative commission rates.

Integrate Affiliate link

Readers like to read posts which come easily, naturally. It is important to use backlinks but too much of it can feel forced and led to the misconception that more links will earn more money. There should a balance between reader experience and monetization. Keep your posts as much organic as possible and one of the best way to do it is by keeping most of the posts ad-free.

Aggregator Service

There is a high chance you have a diversifies blog posts for different types of products. Now, applying to affiliate programs for each sort of product involves a lot of hassle. Take help from websites like VigLink which gives you access to 30,000 affiliate programs and monetizes links on your site for you. It also has a topnotch link insertion technology links mentions of products in a blogpost to the specific product’s affiliate program.

Like Josh Waldron, founder of creative design firm Studio JWAL LLC says,

“If an individual is looking to monetize their blog, I would make a strong case for affiliate marketing as the best avenue for doing so,”.

How to Monetize your Blog?

Working from the comforts of home and generating a good income would be the dream of many. With the rise of Internet, it’s getting easier every day. Here I am going to discuss about an amazing way to make money online – Start a blog.

How to Monetise your Blog

You cannot start earning money just by starting a blog. To earn money, you need to monetise your blog. Here I am discussing about the most popular techniques to monetise your content.

Google Adsense This is the most popular way to monetize your blog. You can generate a steady income from your blog using Google Adsense.

For this first you have to register your blog with Google Adsense. Getting your blog approved with Google Adsense is not an easy task. To get approved by Google Adsense, a blog is expected to have at least 10-15 articles of 500-800 words each. Google promotes only publishers who deliver quality content. So make sure your articles are free from plagiarism as well as devoid of grammatical and factual errors.

Once your approval is done, Google will start displaying advertisements relevant to your niche (your blog topic) on your blog. Both CPC and CPM options are available with Google Adsense. CPC stands for Cost per Click i.e. you will be paid whenever your readers actually click on any of the ad displayed. CPM or Cost per thousand Impressions i.e. you will get paid for every 1000 views for your blog. But with Adsense, you don’t have any control on these options. It’s the advertiser who decides this. From the revenue collected from the advertisers, Adsense pay 68% to the content providers and 32% is the commission for Adsense.

Google AdsenseApart from Adsense, there are also other ad networks like Infolinks, VigLink etc. It’s better to work with a single ad network as too many ads will spoil the user experience for your blog. For a beginner blogger, the best option is Adsense. Apart from being Google’s own advertisement program, Adsense has many benefits over other ad networks.

Adsense is a contextual advertisement program – that is Adsense displays advertisements that are related to your blog content. In this way your CTR (Click through Rate) would be more and therefore more earnings. For example, if you are monetising a travel blog, Google Adsense displays advertisements for hotels, flights or other travel advertisements. So there are high chances for your readers to click on the ads thus increasing CTR.

Move beyond Adsense This method of making money from your blog is to think beyond Adsense or any other third party advertisement networks. We have already seen that Adsense charges you 32% commission from your earnings. So once you have a large number of subscribers, you can directly deal with companies looking for advertising space. In this model, you have full control over the advertisements on your blog. Moreover, there is no risk of being penalised by Google Adsense.

Affiliate Marketing Many of the newbie bloggers are confused about whether to go for affiliate marketing or Google Adsense to monetise their blog. Let’s see how they are different. Once you understand the differences between the two you can select the one according to your convenience (or even use both).

Affiliate Marketing has many advantages over Google Adsense. Affiliate marketing pays much more than Adsense. With affiliate marketing, you would have more control over your ads. And again joining an affiliate network is easier than getting an approved Adsense account.

Affiliate MarketingYou can add affiliate links of various products or services related to your blog. In this way you are vouching for these products or services before your audience. When your readers purchase such products through these affiliate links in your blog, you would be paid a commission by the respective company. This commission is as high as 50-70% of the price of the product or service. For example, when one of your reader purchases a product costing 100$ through an affiliate link in your blog, if the commission is 70%, the company pays you 70$ straightaway.

So Adsense is more of a steady income, while with Affiliate marketing it’s either big money or zero. With affiliate marketing, only the pages with affiliate links would be making money for you, but in case of Adsense all your webpages would be generating income for you. So in short Adsense is an essential monetising mode in a blog.

For a newbie blogger, it’s wise to start with Adsense alone and when the blog gets enough subscribers, one can opt for a combination of Adsense and Affiliate marketing.  While working with affiliate links make sure you don’t flood your content with affiliate links thereby ruining user experience. This might lead to termination of your Adsense account.

Some of the important affiliate advertising networks are ClickBank, AffiliateWindow, Amazon Affiliate Network, ShareASale etc.

Sell your products Sell your products and ServicesOnce you have a loyal audience and a steady traffic, you can start selling your products through your blog. For example, you can add eBooks related to your Blog niche in your blog. Your readers could download them after paying for them. You can also sell your services through your blog. If you are having an impressive blog, you can add a “Hire me” option in your blog for jobs related to your niche.

Paid Reviews This can be considered as an extension to affiliate marketing. Look for products that are related to your niche. Once you have good number of subscribers companies selling products related to your niche, might approach you for writing reviews about their products in your blog. But make sure you don’t write reviews for increasing your affiliate network, but to help your readers find the right products or services.

Paid Reviews So far we have seen some of the most popular ways for monetising your blog. Each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages. By strategically using combinations of these techniques could help you make high income through your blog. My advice would be to go for Adsense in the initial stage, and use a combination of Adsense, Affiliate marketing and direct advertising in the mature stage.

Make Money With Affiliate Marketing

The Internet offers boundless possibilities for earning a living online. Upwork and Freelancers Union found that 35% of the American workforce did some freelance work in 2019. Furthermore, 77% of them said that technology made it easier to find freelance work.

Affiliate marketing is one way to make money on the Internet. Affiliate marketing is supposed to produce passive income, but does it really work? Let’s take a closer look.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In     simple terms, affiliate marketing means selling goods and services from     another person or company.

Nine     percent of publishers surveyed produced more than $50,000 in affiliate     income in 2016.

Always     remember that you're likely to make more money with affiliate marketing     content that is similar to your own.

Traditional advertisements and selling your own     products can help if your affiliate-marketing revenue dries up.

Affiliate Marketing Defined

In simple terms, affiliate marketing means selling goods and services from another person or company. It is like a referral service. You set up a website or blog and join affiliate programs that are relevant to your audience. You can connect to these programs through affiliate networks, which provide you with a link that you include on your site. When someone clicks the link and buys the product, you get a portion of the sale as a commission.

How Much Can You Earn?

The affiliate marketing industry is growing steadily. Statista reported that spending on affiliate marketing in the U.S. was predicted to reach $8.2 billion by 2022. That's up considerably from $5.4 billion in 2017 and $1.6 billion in 2010.

Another study from VigLink offers a closer look at just how much income affiliate marketers are making. According to the survey, 9% of publishers produced more than $50,000 in affiliate income in 2016. The majority of merchants—65%—said they were making between 5% and 20% of their annual revenue from affiliate marketing. The survey also showed a link between experience and revenues. Among the merchants with the most revenue, 60% had been involved in affiliate marketing for five years or more.

65%

This majority of merchants said they were making between 5% and 20% of their annual revenue from affiliate marketing.

The biggest benefit of affiliate marketing is that you can more or less earn revenue on autopilot once it is up and running. All you need is a steady flow of traffic to your blog or website. However, there are some downsides.

If a company changes the terms of its affiliate program, your revenues could be directly affected. Becoming an affiliate for the wrong businesses can also create problems. You won't earn money if your blog or website audience doesn't feel compelled to buy their products or services. Given the growth of affiliate marketing, you’ll also have to contend with fierce competition from other marketers promoting the same products.

Finally, you'll have to keep people coming to your website with fresh content.

Developing a Successful Affiliate Marketing Strategy

It is relatively easy to get started in affiliate marketing, but generating sustainable income from affiliate programs is an entirely different ballgame. If you’re thinking of giving it a try, it is vital to lay the groundwork first.

Start by thinking about your audience. What kinds of goods and services do they want? Which products are you currently using that you would feel comfortable recommending to your readers? You can always add links to any affiliate program to your site. However, it would be best if you stuck to products that are connected with your websites to maximize the click-through rate and keep your audience.

Next, research individual affiliate programs to compare their structures. You want to consider factors such as the size of the commission and how often the company pays affiliates. Make sure you also understand any rules they impose on members of their affiliate networks. Always remember that you're likely to make more money with affiliate marketing content that is similar to your own.

Finally, be upfront with your readers. Adding a disclosure to your blog posts or somewhere on your website lets them know that they may come across affiliate links. This disclosure adds to your credibility, and it is also required by the Federal Trade Commission’s endorsement guidelines.

The Bottom Line

Affiliate marketing can be lucrative, but it takes a commitment of time and money to make it a real business. Do thorough research before you jump on the affiliate-marketing bandwagon.

Also, remember to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket. If you're hoping to build a moneymaking website, diversifying your income streams is a smart move. Traditional advertisements and selling your own products can help if your affiliate-marketing revenue dries up.

The Netflix Affiliate Program And The 13 Best Alternatives

New Post has been published on https://entrepreneurnut.com/netflix-affiliate-program-alternatives/

The Netflix Affiliate Program And The 13 Best Alternatives

Netflix is the biggest movie & TV show streaming platform in the world.

However, Netflix has stopped its affiliate program for reasons that I’ll discuss in a few minutes. Fortunately, it’s not the only streaming platform that has an affiliate program, and there’s actually loads of opportunity for you to make good money promoting some Netflix alternatives.

Throughout this article, we’re going to take a look at the best Netflix Affiliate Program alternatives to help you find a great streaming platform to promote.

The Netflix Affiliate Program

Once upon a timer, Netflix did use to have an affiliate program, but they decided to discontinue it back in 2014. The reason for this was because Netflix had become a globally recognized brand, so they felt that they no longer needed affiliates to promote it.

They made this decision, as they felt the affiliate program was hurting their profits.

In the day’s when they did have an affiliate program, Netflix would pay out a $10 referral commission for every customer that an affiliate would refer.

From an affiliate’s perspective, this was pretty decent as it was very easy to refer someone to Netflix.

However, you can also understand why Netflix closed their affiliate program as they can acquire these customers for free instead of paying $10. Although, it is quite annoying from the affiliate’s point of view.

Netflix Affiliate Program Alternatives

Despite the Netflix affiliate program being discontinued, there are still some great streaming platforms that also offer affiliate programs. Netflix is also planning to raise their prices in 2021, which may mean that a number of subscribers may start looking elsewhere to get their TV show and movie fix.

This is great news for you if you’re looking for a Netflix alternative to promote.

Of course, these types of offers do not pay high commissions, but they’re definitely worth promoting if you’re in this niche, and some of them even pay recurring affiliate commissions.

Below, I’ve picked out the best alternatives to Netflix that also have an affiliate program. Most of these are also globally available, so no matter whether you’re in the US, UK, or elsewhere, you should be able to promote at least a few of these.

Amazon Prime

One of the most popular Netflix affiliate program alternatives is Amazon Prime.

Amazon Prime, which of course, is part of Amazon costs $12.99 or $8.99, depending on whether users want access to the other benefits like next day delivery.

It’s also got some great series and TV shows that users can stream from anywhere using their Amazon accounts including Arrow, The 100, Vikings, and more.

So, the offer is pretty attractive and also by a globally-recognized company, similar to Netflix.

This affiliate program is part of the Amazon Associates program, which you’ll have to sign up for. It pays a £3 ($4) bounty commission for every person you sign up for the trial, regardless if they then actually become a paying customer, which is pretty good.

Amazon Prime also lets users stream the English Premier League, so if you’re in the UK you can use that as an additional angle to promote it.

Commission rate: £3 ($4) per trial

Cookie duration: 24 hours

Affiliate network: Amazon Associates

Philo

Philo TV is an on-demand streaming service that comes with 60+ channels ranging from MTV to BBC America. It costs $20 per month and also has a 7-day trial, so it shouldn’t be too hard to get people to sign up for it.

The Philo service is mainly for Americans, so that is something to keep in mind when promoting it.

Their affiliate program is also hosted with several affiliate networks which are CJ Affiliate, FlexOffers, CommissionJunction, and Skimlinks. It pays out $10 per sign up and has a 30-day cookie duration, which is pretty decent.

Commission rate: $10

Cookie duration: 30 days

Affiliate network: CommissionJunction

FuboTV

FuboTV is a leading TV channel streaming platform that lets users stream all kinds of TV channels ranging from the news channels like Fox to Sports channels like ESPN. The pricing plans range from $59.99 to $64.99 per month.

It pays out a bounty commission of $15 per sale, which is pretty decent as it shouldn’t be too hard to get people to sign up for this.

Additionally, it’s also one of the Netflix affiliate program alternatives with a wide range of Soccer/Football & other Sports channels. If that’s something your audience is interested in, I recommend taking a look at the Fubo TV affiliate program. But, we’ll have a few more later on as well.

Commission rate: $15 with additional performance incentives

Cookie duration: 30 days

Affiliate network: Private – fubu.tv/affiliates

Sling TV

Sling TV is an American service that allows users to stream a range of TV channels including ESPN, CNN, Comedy Central, and more.

Their affiliate program is quite similar to the Netflix affiliate program, as it also pays out a bounty commission. However, the rate is $20, instead of Netflix’s $10, so that’s pretty sweet.

Their affiliate program is hosted on the Yazing affiliate network. They also have some information on their own site, but you can only access it if you’re from the US.

Commission rate: $20

Cookie duration: 30 days

Affiliate network: CommissionJunction, yazing.com

CBS All Access

CBS All Access is a live TV streaming service that comes with a range of TV shows, sports channels, and on-demand episodes that users can watch.

It’s also on the lower side in terms of costs, as it’s only between $5.99-$9.99 per month. Plus, it has a free trial as well. This could make it easier for you to get people to sign up.

Similar to the Netflix affiliate program, it pays out a bounty commission of $9 for every person you sign up on a paid subscription. Their affiliate program is also easy to join, as there are no minimum traffic requirements.

Commission rate: $9

Cookie duration: 10 days

Affiliate network: Impact

Disney+

Although Disney+ is primarily known for their children’s TV shows, and the Marvel superhero’s, it does have a wider selection of shows as well. This makes it a decent Netflix alternative that you can promote.

The affiliate program is hosted on the DaisyCon network and pays out a €5 (≈£4.50) affiliate commission for every sale you generate. That being said, the official page on the Disney+ website has recently been removed, but it may still be available within the network.

Commission rate: €5 (≈£4.50)

Cookie duration: Unknown

Affiliate network: Impact

Apple TV+

Apple TV+ is one of the newer alternatives to Netflix that has lots of on-demand series and movies that users can pick from. Some popular examples include Ted Lasso, Central Park, and See.

Again, it’s also very low-cost as it only costs £4.99 per month, so that might make it easier to promote.

Plus, the commission rates are also extremely competitive as Apple pays out 300% of the first month. So, in most cases that will work out to be around £14.97, not bad.

Their affiliate program is hosted on the Impact network.

Commission rate: 300% of the first month

Cookie duration: 30 days

Affiliate network: AppleMediaServices

AMC Networks

If you have an audience that would enjoy award-winning movies, series, and interesting documentaries, AMC Networks could be a great option too. It’s hosted with the popular network FlexOffers and is also available on VigLink just like a lot of other affiliate programs on this list.

It also offers a 45 day sticky cookie period which is pretty nice too.

When promoting AMC networks, you get paid $1 per lead you generate.

Commission rate: $1 per lead (CPA)

Cookie duration: 45 days

Affiliate network: FlexOffers

AT&T TV

AT & T TV is another cool streaming service like Netflix. It has a wide range of TV series, movies, and sports channels that you can stream on the device of your choice.

Something that caught my eye though, was that it also has many movies available the same day as when they come out in the theaters.

Its affiliate program is also available on FlexOffers, VigLink, Commission Junction, and Rakuten Marketing.

Commission rate: $30 on 1-year commitments (1 year is minimum that the customer can choose)

Cookie duration: 15 days

Affiliate network: FlexOffers, CommissionJunction

ESPN

If you’re looking for a service to promote that is primarily focused on the US sports market, ESPN might be a great choice. It lets users stream pretty much every American sport there is such as Baseball, Basketball, Football/American Football, Soccer, Tennis, and more.

You can also stream some European sports like Football/Soccer and racing.

ESPN probably has the most comprehensive sports streaming offering on this list. And, their affiliate program is hosted with a range of affiliate networks including FlexOffers, SkimLinks, Yazing, OfferVault, and VigLinks.

Commission rate: $16 flat per paid sign up

Cookie duration: 21 days

Affiliate network: FlexOffers, SkimLinks

HULU

Hulu is another alternative to Netflix that has a solid affiliate program. It’s extremely popular in the US, but sadly, it’s not available anywhere else.

It’s quite similar to the Netflix Affiliate Program, as it offers similar TV shows and series. Plus, it also offers a $6 commission for every user you sign up to Hulu Plus, which is similar to Netflix’s $10 commission back in 2014.

If you’re in the US, then this is an affiliate program to consider as it’s easy to promote and offers decent commissions. The only thing that isn’t so great about it is that only has a 1-day cookie duration.

Commission rate: $6

Cookie duration: 1 day

Affiliate network: CommissionJunction

Roku

Roku is a streaming player that is primarily used in the US and UK. Unlike the other affiliate programs on this list, the offer that you promote isn’t a subscription, it comes at a one-time fee.

On it, users can then stream a range of free channels like BBC Iplayer, or also paid services like Netflix.

The commission rate of this affiliate program is 5%.

Commission rate: 5%

Cookie duration: 30 days

Affiliate network: FlexOffers, CommissionJunction

Showtime

Our final Netflix Affiliate Program alternative is ShowTime. Just like a lot of other affiliate programs on this list, ShowTime has a range of exciting movies, tv shows, and interesting documentaries.

Its affiliate program is hosted with Impact radius and pays out $7 for every sign up you make. This combined with their 30-day affiliate cookie is pretty solid and also quite similar to the Netflix affiliate program.

Commission rate: $7

Cookie duration: 30 days

Affiliate network: Impact

Alternatives To Netflix’s Affiliate Program – My Final Thoughts

As you can see, there are quite a few solid Netflix affiliate program alternatives that you can promote.

Although Netflix would have been great to promote back in the day, we don’t need to lose sleep over then shutting down their affiliate program, although it must have been very annoying for the active affiliates who were promoting them at the time.

My personal favorite is the AppleTV+ as it pays great commissions, is affordable for your referrals, and has some great shows too!

It means a lot to me, and any commissions I do make from this blog enables me to continue to provide you with all this awesome, free content. However, any commissions I do receive does not affect my reviews and comparisons. If I think a product is sub-standard I will either say so in the article or I will not feature it on my blog.

Are You Considering Adding Affiliates To Your Marketing?

When hiring a sales team, there is a lot of time spent on training, wages and lead generation. Sales teams are a way to scale up business especially with physical products. However, for e-commerce businesses hiring a large sales force is not practical or cost effective.

 So, how do you scale up? The answer is affiliate marketing.

 For most online retailers, managing dozens or even hundreds of affiliates is too big a task.

 You have to set up a dedicated portal, find and keep in touch with your affiliates, manage the technical side of tracking and payments. The list goes on!

 But it’s also difficult to set up sales channels that produce results. You can avoid the hassle by setting up an affiliate program instead. The simple truth is that affiliate marketing works. In fact, nearly 90% of marketers say that affiliate marketing is “important or very important” to their overall digital marketing strategy.

 So, how do you go about starting an affiliate program for your products? The easiest way is to have an experienced company handle the details for you. In this post, we’re going to take a quick look at the features and benefits of Refersion.

  Are You Missing Out on Easy Sales?

 In case you’re unfamiliar with Affiliate marketing, it is a performance-based, a.k.a. get-paid-on-commissions, marketing model. Other marketers promote your goods or services and get paid for each sale.

 Affiliate sales can drive significant revenue. 16% of all online sales are generated through affiliate marketing, with an emphasis on fashion, sports, health and wellness.

 If you haven’t already launched an affiliate program, or you’re not paying much attention to your current one, you are missing out. Affiliate marketing will continue to grow, and programs like Amazon Associates have shown that affiliates can drive billions of dollars for companies. 22% of all traffic to Amazon comes from affiliate sites.

     Having been forecasted to reach $6.8 billion by 2020, affiliate marketing is a rapidly growing channel that advertisers and publishers are increasingly using to get in front of the right audience.

 Simplifying the process of running an affiliate program lies at the heart of Refersion’s approach. Its core product is an intergrated affiliate marketing platform that gives you the tools to run every aspect of your program from a single dashboard. You can quickly gather affiliates, manage them, and automatically handle commission payouts from one location.

 The platform also slots nicely into an existing software stack and it integrates with BigCommerce, Magento, Shopify and others. You can set up email contact with MailChimp and make payments with PayPal in 39 world currencies.

 6 Ways They Simplify Any Affiliate Marketing Program

 There are six main features of the Refersion platform. Let’s take a look at each one:

 1. Intuitive Dashboard

 Refersion’s key benefit lies in the ability it gives you to manage all essential affiliate tasks from a simple, intuitive dashboard.

 In particular, you can:

     Add products (or entire stores) to your affiliate program with a few clicks

   Automate monthly or single payments to affiliates, per product or subscription

   Create customizable sign-up pages for new affiliates with a drag-and-drop builder

   Easily build a management area for affiliates that gives them access to link-building tools and a tracking dashboard.

 2. Easy-To-Use Integrations

 Another noteworthy benefit of Refersion is the wide array of integrations with major shopping carts. Linking your eCommerce store with their affiliate platform is literally a matter of a few clicks or use the API (and supporting documentation) for building custom integrations.

     eCommerce integrations include Shopify, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce, Magento, and WooCommerce

   Integrates with payment processors PayPal, Stripe, Chargebee or Bold for subscription businesses, and OneClick Upsell

   And, there are also a number of integrations with analytics and mailing tools such as Google Analytics, LittleData, and MailChimp.

 You can always customize using their API.

     Refersion is a great app I've been using them for a couple of days and I already have my first affiliate partner. Their marketplace works well and their customer service is great, they respond in less than 24 hours. Erik has been very helpful! Thanks.

  3. Extensive Tracking Features

 Refersion lets you track sales with more than just a unique tracking code. This feature makes it easy to cater to different affiliates, joint venture, and promotion partners.

 You can use the following features to track different types of affiliate sales:

     Coupon Codes - Assign sales to an affiliate every time a coupon is used (such as if you have partnered with somebody on a specific promotion).

   SKUs - Allows you to trigger a payment with every product purchase.

   Email addresses - Affiliates can provide the email of a potential customer. If that person buys, the affiliate will get a commission. This feature is useful for affiliates that have a network of people to whom they promote products on a regular basis.

  4. Built-In Referral Program and Marketplace

 Refersion Marketplace Screenshot Showing An Affiliate's Conversion Information

 One of the stand-out features of Refersion is its “post-purchase” channel. This feature makes it easy to turn customers into advocates by displaying a pop-up after purchase that advertises your program. When customers sign-up, they are immediately guided through the whole set-up process.

 You can also take advantage of the affiliate marketplace, where you can find some of the industry’s top affiliates and influencers to promote your products.

  5. Complete Control Over Commissions

 eCommerce Marketing Refersion Commissions Screenshot

 Payout two types of commissions, the percentage of the sale or flat rate, whichever works best for your business model. You can have different commission offers per product, and you can manually change the commission rate or structure for specific affiliates.

 If you only want to pay for new, not existing, customers, it is available, but you’ll need to ask the team at Refersion to set that up.

 Recently, Refersion introduced a tiered pay structure so merchants can pay affiliates who sell more, a higher commission.

  6. Automated Email Tools

 Finally, you can save time by automating regular emails to your affiliates with promotions and program changes from a single place.

 Among others, Refersion enables you to send:

     Confirmation emails - Send automatic confirmations for new sign-ups and program enrollments.

   Payment updates - Automatically send payment confirmation emails.

   Broadcasts - Manage one-off broadcasts from within your Refersion dashboard.

   3 Plans to Suit Your Business

 They offer three plans depending on your size and needs.

 The Starter plan is $19 per month and lets you track up to 30 affiliates per month. With the Professional plan you can track up to 130 affiliates for $89, and the Enterprise plan offers unlimited numbers of affiliates. You can learn more about each plan on their pricing page. They offer a 14-day trial for any plan.

  Easily Scale Your Promotion Network and Sales

 Based out of New York City, they boast a merchant network of over 1,800. They recently integrated with Viglink and Skimlinks so merchants have access to even more affiliates.

 Refersion continues to act on customer feedback by continuously improving their back office for higher efficiency. You can quickly get an affiliate program up and running, automating much of the process, and grow it with a variety of incentives for affiliates.

 If you have an eCommerce retail business and would like to start an affiliate program, let Eventige integrate Refersion as part of your marketing strategy. We can simplify what can be a complicated and time-consuming process. Contact us for more information about their program and then try any plan for 14-days.
