I love affiliate marketing for earning an income, but if you are an Etsy affiliate (or you apply to be one) and do this one simple thing you can earn yourself a £30 Etsy gift card! This is the Etsy affiliate £30 offer.
What is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a really simple idea – you find a product or service that you like and rate highly and you earn a commission when a sale is achieved as a result of your promotion of that product or service. The company are happy to pay you a percentage of the sale to thank you for introducing a new customer to them
Is it worth becoming an Etsy affiliate?
Depending on the content that you create, you might be wondering if it is worth becoming an Etsy affiliate.
Etsy allows sellers to list handmade items, crafting supplies and vintage items, as well as digital prints.
Therefore, some types of content work really well for promoting Etsy products with an affiliate link. For example:
- Gift guides e.g. Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas.
- Product reviews
- Blog posts around small businesses
- Tutorials
And so much more.
Here is the Etsy commission structure:
- Standard publisher rate: 5%
- Cashback/Loyalty (evaluated on an individual basis): 2%
- 30 day cookie period on Web
- 7 day cookie period on App
Depending on your content it could definitely be worth signing up as an Etsy affiliate.
Where to sign up to become an Etsy affiliate
You can sign up to be an Etsy affiliate with Awin.
Can you earn Etsy affiliate income from your own store?
If you run an Etsy store you might be wondering if you can earn affiliate income from your own store.
The answer from the Etsy terms and conditions is quite simply: no.
Here's what they have to say about it:
Etsy sellers are eligible for the Affiliate Program but are not eligible to earn commission on sales from their own shops or from closely related shops. Closely related shops are shops in which an Etsy seller has a financial interest or that have a material connection, such as a shared bank account or credit card, with the seller's own shop. This is a wonderful opportunity to earn commission from showcasing other Etsy shops and embracing and discussing the Etsy community at large.
To be eligible for our Affiliate Program, you must:
- Declare the names of any Etsy shops you own or are closely related to (if applicable) to Etsy’s Affiliate team via email;
- Inform Etsy’s Affiliate team via email of any Etsy shops you register or become involved in after becoming an approved affiliate.
