I’ve worked with a lot of affiliate companies over the years and I thought it would be helpful to post a list of the ones I use and love the most. The first two, Amazon Affiliates and Shareasale (Craftsy, Flirty Aprons, Zulily, etc.) are the primary ones where I earn the most income.
However, to be successful at blogging, it’s best to have multiple streams of income, so I’d encourage you to sign up with several affiliate programs that you could use in different ways on your blog.
Below I list most of the companies I work with and how I use them to earn income.
10 Great Affiliate Programs for Bloggers
Amazon Affiliates This is obviously for Amazon.com. If you can link to products or ingredients that you recommend on Amazon, there’s potential to earn income! I use this in almost every post.
Shareasale Through Shareasale, I’m an affiliate with dozens of companies that I can and do promote at different times on my blog. Here are the ones I participate in the most:
- Craftsy – click to join their affiliate program, for cake decorating classes
- Flirty Aprons – click to join their affiliate program, for aprons
- Brown Cookie – for cake decorating supplies
