Amazon Affiliates

One of the top affiliates

If you've written a lens here on Squidoo, you'll be familiar with the Amazon modules that are available to you. No? Well then you might want to check out this lens on the Amazon modules Squidoo has to offer. Besides the modules, you can place links to products in your lens using your Amazon Affiliate account. You can easily create links to any product you wish in your lens by creating a text link, picture link, or by using the Amazon Affiliate Link Generator that SquidUtils has to offer. The benefit of using the link generator is that you'll be able to keep all of the commission instead of sharing it with Squidoo.

Share a Sale

Share-a-Sale is gaining popularity as one of the best affiliate marketing programs, with a wide variety of unique products and companies that will give you a commission for advertising their products. Like any other affiliate marketing company, most of the clients in Share a Sale are paid when you produce traffic that generates a sale. Some of the companies in Share a Sale are EMS, Hoover, and many small businesses to choose from.

Web Analytics: An Hour a Day

Web analytics. That term just sounds scary, especially to a marketing novice. Why do you need to know anything about web analytics? To put it simply, web analytics is the process of analyzing your customers' behavior and finding out ways to get them there. Maybe your marketing towards 45-62 year olds, and you should really be advertising towards 18-24 year olds. Or maybe your site has lots of blue and demographic studies point out that your customers hate blue. Get it now? It's an important part of getting the all-important conversion.

Commission Junction

Thousands of advertisers with simple to use banners, graphics and text ads

Commission Junction has a number of high-profile advertisers that want you to advertise their websites. CJ is the biggest affiliate marketing advertising site on the web and boasts large clients like:

  • Yahoo

  • Home Depot

  • Circuit City

  • Captial One

  • Discover

  • Citi Financial

  • The Wall Street Journal



... to name just a few. Commission Junction, or CJ, is very easy to use. You simply apply to the program you would like to use, and upon acceptance, start using the available links. Commission Junction also has an online "university" to help with your advertising campaigns. After all, the more successful you are, the more successful they are!

It doesn't matter what they buy!

With most affiliate marketing networks, it doesn't matter what the customer purchases, you'll still get a commission. What this means is if someone is reading your lens and clicks a product, then clicks another product from there, you'll still get a commission! Thank the cookies.

All Posters

Advertise by using eye catching images on your lenses

All Posters is a great site that lensmasters should take advantage of. Some of the most exciting photographs on the web can be used right on your lens, just by including a link back to Allposters. Of course, you'll be getting a commission for every sale you generate.

CafePress

CafePress has millions of unique items waiting for your lens!

CafePress has an affiliate program you can use through Commission Junction, and there's also the easy-to-use CafePress module here on Squidoo. Another thing to keep in mind is that you can earn extra cash by promoting your referral link. This is located in the "refer a shopkeeper" section inside your account. Simply input your store ID into the link! You'll get an excellent reward--a percentage of all sales from referred shopkeepers-- 5% for one year! That can really add up.

Starting up a Shop? Here are some ideas...

Affiliate Marketing Products on eBay

A little tip about the ebay module:

eBay's items are ever-changing, but that doesn't mean you don't have access to some static items that are more likely to always be there. Try browsing the eBay stores section to find items with high quantities that will be here to stay instead of disappearing at the end of the 7-day auction.

    You know I've got to be honest about this -- I have tried Linkshare for years -- and I haven't yet written a lens on using them to make lots of money with affiliate marketing -- they just haven't been that successful for my niche. But, I keep trying!

    Excellent information you've provided. I just signed up with LinkShare today and already have been approved by five companies, including a chocolatier, iTunes, an internet nursery (plants) and a vintner, three of which are on my funny food-related lens, Laftovers. Two dozen others are pending.
    I've still got a lot to learn, but I am optimistic..

    I have 109 lenses now and am looking into affiliates. I've joined Pepperjam but I'm still trying to figure it out. When it comes to this kind of stuff, I'm slow.
    Great lens
    5* and rolled to The Squidoo Learning Curve.

    This is real useful information. I totally agree with your recommendations as I am using the same affiliate programs and have had some good success with using Squidoo to promote and make money with third-arty affiliate companies. 5*
