What's affiliate marketing?

It's a hassle-free, no-commitment way to partner with your favorite brands to make a passive income while promoting the products you love.

Your favorite brands will provide you with a unique link that allows you to make a commission when promoting their products — at no extra cost to the consumer and at no cost to you as an affiliate.

You can talk about the brands you love authentically and genuinely on your schedule. Market when you want to, how you want to.

Let’s get started.

STEP 1

Identify your favorite brands. Make a list.

STEP 2

Visit their website and find a link to "affiliates" or "affiliate programs."

Hint: it's usually at the bottom of the home page, nestled under "about," FAQ," or "contact us". If they don’t have one readily accessible, reach out and ask!

STEP 3

Fill out their affiliate application form and wait for approval.

STEP 4

Once approved, Update your website, newsletters, social profiles, etc., with your affiliate links.

STEP 5

START MAKING MONEY.


You can also make an account with affiliate marketing platforms that give you access to many brands and categories. These are some that I’ve used in the past:

I hope this helps some of us find a way to ease into affiliate marketing if this is new territory for you!
