211: My Top 3 Hacks for Making It EASY to Make Money as an Affiliate

Affiliate income is an AMAZING way to earn extra money as a business owner. If you want to share things you love with people who may already be asking you about those things, affiliate income is for you. 

And here’s the thing: for years now, my business has earned multiple five figures a year from affiliate income alone. I've even had years where it's been over a hundred thousand dollars of revenue coming from affiliate income alone. I’m telling you that for two reasons:

1. What I’m doing to make affiliate income WORKS
2. If it looks like I'm not spending tons of time and energy working on making affiliate income, it's because I'm not. 

I'm not saying affiliate marketing is passive, but it is more passive than other types of income we typically have as business owners. And today, I’m going to share 3 hacks to make adding an affiliate income revenue stream to your business even easier.

And a little reminder from a website designer? You’ll make more affiliate income when you have a great website.

Not only are you more likely to get approved by affiliate companies that have stricter programs when you have a website, but you'll also be set up to make more affiliate income when you can blog and create landing pages for the companies that you partner with. My full website templates all come equipped with an amazing blog design that is set up to support you whether you're like writing your first three blog posts ever or you're transferring over 200+ blog posts to your new Showit website. 

As a blogger and podcaster myself, I put so much strategy into thinking through the blog templates. I make sure I’m creating thoughtfully designed sidebars to maximize space so that readers can know whether or not they want to click into a post to read it, and make sure that each layout has clear search functionality so that people can find what they need within your content. I also always design thoughtful 404 pages for when you have a broken link.
