The Sandals affiliate program pays you a commission for referring users to book either a stay in one of the Sandals Resorts, or booking an activity. While 4% might seem like a small percentage, these luxury resorts have daily rates that range from $150 to over $2,000 per person -- which means, if a couple were to book a romantic week in a Sandals Resort at $500 per person per night, you would earn a commission of $280!
I’m in the process of creating a new blog now and have decided on a niche to focus on. I’d like to implement affiliate marketing as soon as the blog launches. Was wondering if affiliate networks require those requesting to become affiliate marketers to have a certain number of followers before approving the request to join the affiliate program? Generally, what types of requirements have to be met when applying to join an affiliate network? I’d hate to apply then get rejected because I haven’t met the minimum requirements, if those exist. Thanks!
If you're looking to promote your products or services, there are a few affiliate programs you can consider. When choosing an affiliate program, you'll want to keep in-mind the avenues or platforms your audience spends the majority of their time — for instance, does your buyer persona typically read blog posts, scroll Facebook, or use search engines when researching new products?
I created “All About Affiliate Marketing” to supplement what students learn at Wealthy Affiliate. It helps you to see what tools you need, how the business works, to decide the difference between business models, how affiliate marketing works if you have an existing business, and various other things I’ve learned over my time in the industry. I give this course away for free at How to Entrepreneur. You can check out my free e-course here.
