I\u2019m Ashleigh, the crochet designer behind the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.Sewrella.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sewrella blog<\/a> &amp; I&#8217;m so happy to see you here. I share a lot of information about blogging (including my very own income reports, gasp!) at www.Sewrella.com. I\u2019ve learned a lot along the way and I\u2019ll share a bit of that with you here in the Lion Brand Notebook. I\u2019m so excited to be chatting with you today all about Lion Brand Yarn\u2019s new Affiliate Marketing Program! I\u2019ve learned a lot about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sewrella.com\/how-to-monetize-your-blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">monetizing your blog<\/a> and utilizing different wonderful money making tools to generate income.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best ways to earn an income through your blog is affiliate marketing! Lion Brand\u2019s new program allows you to earn commissions on all sales made through their website, but before we sign up let\u2019s learn a bit more about affiliate marketing.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Affiliate Marketing?<\/h2>\n<p>Affiliate Marketing is a type of blog monetization (a way to make that sweet, sweet internet money). Basically it is a way of promoting products or services for different companies by way of your blog\/website\/social media accounts.<\/p>\n<h3>Basically it goes like this:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>You find a company with an affiliate program<\/li>\n<li>You apply to be an affiliate<\/li>\n<li>Once approved, you can create your own unique links to place on your own platforms that reach back to the company&#8217;s website\n<ul>\n<li>When a reader of yours clicks your unique link on your website, a cookie is placed on their browser.<\/li>\n<li>That cookie tracks the reader&#8217;s behavior and will register if the reader buys anything from the company&#8217;s site.<\/li>\n<li>If a purchase is made, you receive a percentage of that purchase as a commission for sending that reader to the company.<\/li>\n<li>Job well done!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>You get paid for sending new customers to the company &#8211; actual dollars in your bank account!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How do Affiliate Programs run?<\/h2>\n<p>Usually through a network. Some common ones you&#8217;ll see a lot are Share A Sale, CJ Affiliate (formerly Comission Junction), and Awin.<\/p>\n<p>These networks host tons of different companies within their framework. This means that you can have one account, say with Share A Sale, and apply for, use and earn from several different companies that are in that network.<\/p>\n<p>Being that there are several different networks, it can make things a little cumbersome when getting started. It just takes a little organization so that you know where your income streams are and how to access them. You can always start out with one network first and move on as you&#8217;re ready.<\/p>\n<h2>How do I get paid?<\/h2>\n<p>This one has lots of answers. Most commonly, affiliate programs offer a percentage of any sale made through your unique link to you as a commission.<\/p>\n<p><em>Here&#8217;s the wonderful thing<\/em> &#8211; this unique link is a way to get your foot in the door.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see an example, using Lion Brand Yarn&#8217;s new affiliate program.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Let&#8217;s say I have a new pattern coming out using Lion Brand&#8217;s new Jeans Colors yarn (like the Ruffle Sleeve Cardigan!). I will go into Lion Brand&#8217;s affiliate program (within Share a Sale, but we&#8217;ll get to that in a minute).<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ll pull a unique link that directs my reader right to the Jeans Colors product listing on the Lion Brand website (this is called a deep link, because it goes deep into the site to pull up an exact product page).<\/li>\n<li>I place this link in my blog post.<\/li>\n<li>My loyal reader Judy sees the blog post and says &#8220;Golly, that Jeans Colors yarn is beautiful! I&#8217;d like to look at that a bit closer&#8221; so she clicks on the link.<\/li>\n<li>A cookie is placed on Judy&#8217;s browser to tell Lion Brand that she came from Sewrella. (It&#8217;s worth noting that cookies can stay on the computer for a set amount of time, sometimes a day, sometimes a month depending on the affiliate program).<\/li>\n<li>Oh no! Judy decides she doesn&#8217;t want Jeans Colors yarn, she wants the original line of Jeans yarn by Lion Brand.<\/li>\n<li>Judy orders 4 balls of plain old Jeans yarn, not the Jeans Colors I linked to.<\/li>\n<li>The affiliate program&#8217;s cookie was able to register this purchase came from Sewrella anyway &#8211; phew!<\/li>\n<li>Sewrella gets paid a percent of Judy&#8217;s order, no matter whether she bought the yarn I recommended or not, because Sewrella was responsible for getting Judy on the Lion Brand website and got them that sale.\n<ul>\n<li>Think of a car salesman. Even if he&#8217;s trying to sell a corvette to a customer but they want and buy a Prius, he still gets the commission on the sale. Same thing here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How do I find Affiliate Programs?<\/h2>\n<p>The fastest answer to this question &#8211; Google.<\/p>\n<p>Think of a company whose product you&#8217;d like to recommend to your readers. Try doing a quick Google Search for the company and the words &#8220;Affiliate Program.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So if you want to become an affiliate for Lion Brand Yarn, just search Google for &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=44&amp;u=1700448&amp;m=47&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lion Brand Yarn Affiliate Program<\/a>&#8221; and see what comes up!

Yay!<\/p>\n<h2>How should I share Affiliate links?<\/h2>\n<p>There are tons of options here and feel free to get creative!<\/p>\n<p>I like sharing my links within my blog posts themselves best because that&#8217;s the place I have the most eyeballs.<\/p>\n<p>Other great places to share are email newsletters, Instagram stories if you have the swipe up feature (or linking in your bio), or other strong social media accounts.<\/p>\n<p>I will raise awareness for you in two areas:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Pinterest &#8211; many Pinterest groups prohibit selling things directly through Pinterest. Make sure you don&#8217;t get flagged or deleted from valuable Pinterest group boards by making your pins lead directly to your affiliate link. It&#8217;s always best to link to your blog post &#8211; there&#8217;s more opportunity there for you to convince your potential customer to click anyway!<\/li>\n<li>Facebook &#8211; there is a grey area on the rules behind affiliate linking on Facebook with their new Branded Content feature. I&#8217;m not sure of all the specifics so I recommend linking to your blog posts here too. I think it&#8217;s better to avoid any rule breaking on these valuable social media platforms.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Try to think outside the box when coming up with compelling ways to share your links. I like to watch out for sales or promotions Lion Brand is putting on to promote to my readers. They may not see the sale on their own and they might click my link to check out the deal!<\/p>\n<p><em>If you want to dive into a super in-depth online course on all the ways you can use affiliate marketing to earn more money with your blog, check out the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/makingsenseofaffiliatemarketing.com\/?affcode=57702_nxlzwc-e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing online course<\/a><\/strong>!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on Affiliate Marketing for your blog!
