One hurdle that faces many new bloggers when they consider using affiliate programs is the belief that they won't actually make any money. The truth is that any blogger can make money using affiliate links and ads, it just takes time, practice and dedication. At the bottom of this post you'll find links to more of our detailed posts on how to use affiliates, what they are and even some tips from the networks themselves.<\/p>\n One thing we think it's extremely important to note is that there are many, many affiliate networks available to you for use on your blog. Depending on your style, your budget and your readers – one program may not have as many useful merchants as another. They also have different payment thresholds (how much you have to earn before you get a check) as well as different methods of earning. To prevent spamming and keep their merchants and advertisers happy, virtually all networks and programs have an application process – do not let this deter you!<\/p>\n Here are 4 popular affiliate networks used by fashion and style bloggers. They have a lot of similarities, but varying commission rates, payment thresholds and ways you can use their links.<\/p>\n rewardStyle<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fashion Traffic:<\/strong><\/p>\n Rakuten LinkShare<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n PepperJam Exchange<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n Here's the great thing about affiliate networks: there's no harm in applying to more than one (or quite a few). Apply to all of them! Test them out! See which ones work for your audience and have the merchants and commission rates with which you want to work. You will want to note if your network or program uses Cost Per Sale<\/strong> which means you make a commission off any product sold through a link on your site, or Cost Per Click<\/strong>, which means the network pays you for each click on an advertisement or link, even if a purchase isn't made. (Some do both!)<\/p>\n *Updated! More options include Beso<\/a> and Shopsense<\/a>, and affiliate networks to look into that are not as apparel-based include Google Affiliate Network<\/a> and Commission Junction<\/a>, as well as Amazon<\/a>. Bloggers in the United Kingdom may also want to look into Affiliate Window (and more, here<\/a>). For more affiliate network info from IFB:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nWhen we talk about monetizing our fashion and style blogs, we come back to affiliate links and advertisements<\/strong> over and over again. It's not because it's the only way, but because it's one of the easiest. Affiliate programs let you earn commission off of sales from thousands of different merchants and retailers, and track them all in one place.<\/p>\n\n
