Today you will learn how to sign up for affiliate programs and increase your chances of being accepted by making sure you have completed a few minimum requirements.
These requirements will differ from program to program, however, most affiliate programs will require you to meet a few essentials before being accepted.
How To Sign Up For Affiliate Programs
Knowing how to sign up for affiliate programs is the easy part, getting approved is a whole other story.
How to sign up for affiliate programs:
-
- Find the affiliate program you want by searching for it in Google search, or heading to the website directly.
- Click “Join Affiliate Program” or Make Affiliate Account” and enter the information needed.
- You will be emailed and approved or disapproved.
Tips To Get Approved Into Affiliate Programs
With most affiliate programs some criteria need to be met to be approved into an affiliate program.
These conditions filter out scammers and assure companies offering affiliate programs that they are partnering with professionals looking to further their network and offer value to the company.
Must-dos to help get approved after you sign up for affiliate programs:
- Have a website.
- Have at least 12 – 15 blogs on your website related to your affiliate program niche.
- Some affiliate programs require a personal email address and not a generic Gmail.
- You will need a privacy policy page.
- You will need an affiliate disclosure page
- You will most likely need to specify how you will be advertising the link or what your main promotional type will be.
If you follow these guidelines you will increase your approval rate dramatically.
Affiliate program providers want to see professional websites that offer value and are up-to-date with legal documents.
If some or all of this information is missing, you will almost certainly not get approved.
The Amazon Associates affiliate program enforces many of these conditions as well as having a minimum of 3 sales in 90 days once approved or termination of of your affiliate account will be applied.
Why Sign Up For Affiliate Programs?
Getting approved into an affiliate program can be a lifeline for survival in the online business world of affiliate marketing.
Affiliate programs give us the legal authority to generate income from these products that we don’t even own, and getting accepted into just one affiliate program can give us access to millions of products to earn commissions.

Sign Up For Affiliate Programs In Your Niche
The buzz of signing up and being approved into a new affiliate program can get addicting.
Over the years I have joined multiple affiliate programs, and affiliate program hubs which have given me unlimited amounts of products in almost all niches.
You only need one or two main affiliate programs with top-selling products to make good money online.
It is so easy to get caught up in the hype of having thousands of products at your fingertips, and although this is an accomplishment, the fact of the matter is, the more you have, the more your options are spread out, and the longer it can take to get results in one specific niche.
Reasons to only apply for 1 – 3 affiliate programs:
- Fine-tune your products
- Save more time sorting. products and niches.
- Get more personal with just 1 – 3 companies.
- You do not spread yourself too thin trying to advertise products in all niches.
- Research and target audience will be easier to track down and target.
- You will learn more about the products you are passionate about.
- You will have more luck getting sales when you concentrate your efforts on one or two products.
It only takes one product to sell well to give you passive income streams.
Thousands of products in multiple niches can be harder in the long run.
Learn How To Advertise Affiliate Links
Knowing how to use your affiliate links to generate sales takes practice.
Yes, you can just through them onto your social media channel and hope for the best, but in my experience, this is not the most successful way to advertise your links or products.
Pro Tip: “Don’t sell a mattress, sell a good night’s sleep”
In most cases, people looking to buy products need these products to help solve an issue.
These issues can make people’s lives harder, less fulfilled, and less enjoyable.
This is why we can help them.
We can make their lives better!
Tips to advertising your affiliate links or products.
- Don’t Spam
- Explain how you will fix their problem or issue.
- If you can, provide the validity of the product ( TrustPilot score ) ( Reviews )
- Don’t send people straight to the product page, send them to a blog or landing page first with more information, why they need the product, and how it can help them.
Get creative with your links. Think about your experiences when buying a product or service, and use these to help craft your advertising strategies.
The most crucial point to take from all of this is to offer helpful content that will fix an issue.
If you can fix someone’s problem with a product or service, you will increase your conversions.
Summary
If you are going to sign up for affiliate programs be sure you have done some research before you apply.
Some affiliate programs do have strict criteria that need to be met, and if you get declined, you may not get another chance to re-apply.
I recommend joining only 1 – 3 affiliate programs or program hubs to get your affiliate links from, this makes it easier to keep track of the links and products you are advertising.
