Have you signed up for cj or shareasale yet? Remember I mentioned that these companies are your gateway to affiliate programs like Craftsy, Jo Ann’s, Leisure Arts, and Annies. Now would be a good time to go through the application and approval process.
The holidays are fast approaching and if you have a mailing list, a large community, or even a blog with a dedicated audience you can get a little after Christmas reward. By promoting your partner companies now you will earn commissions that will be in your back by January or February. Wouldn’t that be an awesome surprise?
Tools for Bloggers:
- Commission Junction – You can make a widget like slide show, collage, or grid with products from your partner companies. The above photo collage is an example of a collage. I also used the grid option for my Under $5.00 crochet pattern page.
- Shareasale – You can make a page for your partners that enable this option. Craftsy, a partner company allows you to use this for their classes or for their yarn. Take a look at my yarn page or my class page.
