The big question I get asked by new bloggers is information on finding easy high paying affiliate programs to get accepted in. I began this blog in March 2018 and in 2 months I have seen a steady growth in my affiliate income averaging $20-$40/day, which I am quite happy about, taking into account how new my blog still is.
Today, I am going to show you two programs I joined, within 2 weeks of starting this blog. So its fairly easy to get accepted to these programs, and you have a huge money-making potential. The best part is, these are affiliate programs for bloggers of any niche!
We are not going to talk about the Amazon affiliate program if that’s what you are thinking 🙂 I haven’t signed up with them yet, as I wasn’t sure if the Amazon program would suit my blog, mostly because of my niche. And also the chance of readers making a purchase within 24 hours of clicking my links seem close to impossible. Maybe there is an easier way to make a profit from the Amazon program, which I haven’t explored yet (and if I do, I will definitely share a post on it here).
But for now, lets head to the 2 programs that made me nearly $160 affiliate money within a couple months of joining.
The first one is the Ultimate bundles
The Ultimate bundles is a program developed to help bloggers like you and me, sell digital products at a steep discount of 90-95%.
What is in each bundle?
It’s a collection of digital products like courses, ebook, audios, printables and more sold for a discount once a year! So chances of people buying these products are high as they wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity. And these are a compilation of products created from big names in the industry.
What are the categories of products sold?
-
Business – Blogging, productivity, entrepreneurs.
-
Family – Organization, homemaking, parenting, marriage.
-
Health – Herbs & essential oils, healthy living, gut health, fitness.
-
Lifestyle – Crafts, travel, photography and more.
There is a new bundle that is open to promote every month. Each of these bundles is worth over $1000, but your readers get a massive discount of 90-95% and you as an affiliate make a 40% commission! So when I sold the “Genius blogger toolkit” bundle which was worth $97 each, I received a commission of $38 each time!
I was late in the game with the Genius blogger toolkit, unfortunately. I didn’t think I would make a sale and neglected to promote it. I later decided to give it a try and started promoting it only 5 days before the bundle was to end 🙁
Yet I made $77.80 in the 5 days I promoted it! Here are my earnings below. I only wish I had the confidence and promoted these weeks in advance. But that’s a lesson learned.
If you are interested in joining as an affiliate for the Ultimate bundles you can sign up right here. Its free to join and they accept new bloggers. You have nothing to lose and will never know until you try (like me 🙂
Don’t worry if the bundles have products that are not in your niche. You can still promote them as direct affiliate links using Pinterest. You don’t need to be in the relevant niche to promote products on Pinterest. Here’s a step by step guide on how you can do this.
The next program is Shareasale
Shareasale is a huge affiliate platform holding thousands of brands and products. Once accepted into the Shareasale program you can request to join each of the individual companies they host.
Just to make it clear Shareasale is a – platform and,
you have within it – individual affiliate programs
I signed up for Shareasale which is free to join. Once I was accepted by Shareasale, could then request to join affiliate programs like Tailwind, Picmonkey, Grammarly. Requesting to join these affiliate programs is pretty easy, just a click of a button and you will hear from them as soon as you are accepted.
I made $81.48 from Shareasale in 2 months of signing up. Not too bad at all.
This is my Shareasale dashboard. If you look on the right you see a list of categories you can choose from. These are just some, there are thousands for you to choose from and the potential of you making an income is high!
You can sign up to Shareasale right here and get started.
Once you have been accepted, take a look at the categories and choose from ANY of the products you’d like to join.

Hi Crystal!
You can apply with just a hundred followers:) I joined them when my blog was just a few weeks old. Let me know how you go!
HI Saranya!
I loved this post. I am totally I amazed by how quickly you have mad money. I joined Shareasale but I have not actively used it. I am in a health and wellness niche and I wonder if I would find products to incorporate in my post and do it naturally. This post sort of gives me hope. I love the look of your blog and was wondering which elegant theme and fonts you use. I am rethinking mine. Thank you for this post. I am impressed by how far you have come in such a short time. would love to hear from me so email me, please.
Hi Jane, yes shareasale has a huge list of products to choose from. With your niche Amazon might be the next best option – ebooks, healthy meal plan, healthy snack are a few I can think of. And yes I use the Extra theme from the Elegant theme to run this blog. It’s the perfect option for non- techie like myself and give a super professional feel to the site. Here’s a look into why I love this theme:) https://onefinewallet.com/the-best-wordpress-blog-theme/
Hello Saranya! Nice post. I applied to Share-A-Sale last year when my blog was still new but my application was declined. My blog has grown now and feel like I should reapply. What are some tips that you can share with me to help get accepted? Thanks.
Hi Virginia, having all the relevant categories in your blog like an about page, policy page and disclosure pages are key. I love how your blog has shaped up! I think you are good to go 🙂
Hey Saranya! Thank you so much for this great informative article. I started working with ShareAsale a few days ago. But I don’t have any idea about the “Ultimate Bundles”. This post helps me a lot to know about this new affiliate programs.
Hi Riad, I am so glad you found something new here:)
Hi Saranya,
What do you advise about how to get Into Share-a-sale so quickly. I got rejected at the start of this year and now I’m not game to try again. I’ll give the bundles a try though.
Hi Kathleen, sometimes affiliate networks might reject applications based on how many posts you have published (atleast 10 posts is good) or if you haven’t placed key pages like an about me, privacy policy or contact me page. I would recommend you give it another try and see how you go:)
Hi there! I have been following you for a while and I am so impressed! Do you have any courses or advice on how to convert pin impressions to sales?
Hi Vera, I have an ebook that talks about this in detail. I wrote it keeping new bloggers in mind https://onefinewallet.com/blog-1000-ebook/ let me know if you have any questions!
Hi, my name is Danielle and new to blogging. Do you recommend the sites to have a lot of posts on it before applying to affiliate companies?
Hi Danielle,
I would recommend you have atleast 10 blog posts published before applying. Although this is not compulsory but increases your chances of being approved:)
Hi…That was a nice and informative article. I have signed up for ultimate bundles affiliate program. Hope I would be accepted and manage to make the first sale. I had also enrolled for ShareASale program but unfortunately didn’t get accepted.
Hey Saranya,
Finding the affiliate network post and found yours!!!!
A truly worth reading post.
I’ve been using the Rakuten affiliate network till the time, now I’m thinking about to join the Shareasale Network.
Thanks for sharing!!!!!
Thanks, Deval!
Do you find it’s worthwhile given the taxes you have to pay to earn commission? I want so much to try this but I’m afraid I won’t make any money after taxes. Thanks for the article! It is very informational!
Hello,
Thanks very much for the info. As a new blogger, I’ve joined some affiliate programs including shareasale. But it seems that promotion and traffic are needed to get the visitors needed to make sales. Do you have any advice on that?
Thanks so much,
Sheryl
