How to Learn the Ropes of Affiliate Marketing
It is your decision to decide whether to promote Etsy products or not. The most important thing is that you have a guide to follow.
Some people take affiliating as a hobby, while some do it to make money. If you fall under the category of those who do it to generate income, it is advisable that you learn how to do it profitably.
It would not interest you to discover, after working for months, that you have been threading the wrong path of making money through affiliate programs, hence, a reason for you to find a roadmap of affiliating.
Conclusion
How I wish I had something positive to add to this review. Sad to say, I lack any. In light of this, I will advise that if you want to choose an affiliate program, do away with the Etsy Affiliate program. You can opt for any better alternative.
But if after this review, you still find Etsy affiliate program enticing, I wish you all the best.
I do think that Etsy is ideal for my niche though, so that's kind of hard if I would want to change.
True though, it is hard to make a good income with only 4% commission, I have noticed that by now.
So I think I am going to make a second website that has affiliates with much higher commission. Thanks for this post!
I am a few steps away from launching my blog and wanted to reach out because I share many products from Etsy sellers and am really hoping to get approved to their affiliate program.
I would greatly appreciate any advice you would be willing to share on what they might deem mandatory in order to get approved.
Should I apply via ShareaSale or Awin or both?
I have read a few people say they recommend applying right away, even if you don't have a lot of traffic or are new, but thought I would check to see your thoughts.
I have about 10 blog posts and a lot of information on each seller that I share in addition to the blog posts. I was hoping to apply in time for Christmas, do you think they will approve if its only a month or 2 since it's been advertised?
Also, they mention they don't want you only writing about Etsy products. Does this mean they like if you're an affiliate on other websites too?
One last thing, do I need to ask each Etsy seller permission to use their photos on my site when I'm linking products to their Etsy shop before and/or after being an affiliate?
Thank you so much for your time. I hope you are having a great day!
Just dropping by to express my gratitude for this post as I do my research, and my appreciation of the healthy discussion going on around here. I've gained clarity! Thanks a lot!
