Affiliate marketing is one of my favorite ways to add extra income to your business without all the overwhelm. You don’t need to ship products, hold inventory, or even deal with customer service. You’re simply sharing the things you already love—with people who trust you—and earning a commission when they make a purchase through your link. Sounds dreamy, right?
But if you’re not seeing the income you hoped for, don’t stress. A few small shifts can make a big difference.
Here are four warm-and-fuzzy tips to help you earn more from affiliate marketing—without the burnout.
1. Share Your Favorite Finds Through Blog Content đź“ťđź’–
Blogging is a seriously underrated way to grow your affiliate income. Think of it like this: every blog post becomes a cozy conversation with your audience—and a chance to recommend products that have truly helped you.
Write about what you love and what your readers care about. Whether it’s planning tips, digital biz tools, or content creation hacks—use your blog to create helpful, evergreen content that keeps working for you in the background (hello, passive income ✨).
2. Stick to Products That Make Sense for Your Audience 🎯
Here’s a quick rule: If the product doesn’t align with your niche or goals, skip it—no matter how good the payout sounds.
Affiliate marketing works best when it’s relevant. If you run a productivity blog, your readers probably won’t click on a random beauty product link. But a Notion template or goal planner? Perfect fit.
Only share what makes sense for your people—and what you would genuinely recommend anyway.
3. Create Visual Content (Yes, Even a Quick Reel Works!) 📸🎥
We’re living in a visual world, planner girl. Videos, carousels, tutorials, and even quick behind-the-scenes peeks help people see how a product actually works—and why it’s worth checking out.
✨ Try this:
- Record a 30-second tutorial using the product
- Show a before/after transformation
- Film a “Day in the Life” using your favorite tools
Video doesn’t have to be fancy—it just needs to feel real.
4. Don’t Be Afraid to Mention It Often 💬💫
Your community wants your recommendations. So if there’s a tool, course, or product that fits the convo—don’t be shy! Mention it naturally, like you would to a friend over coffee.
You can say things like:
“P.S. I use this free tool every single week—it’s seriously saved me hours.”
or
“If you’re curious, this is the exact planner I used to organize my launch!”
The more consistently you share, the more clicks (and commissions) you’ll see over time.
Final Thoughts 🌟
Affiliate marketing doesn’t have to be pushy or complicated. It’s really just about showing up, being helpful, and sharing what works for you.
Stick to products you love, share them in ways that feel authentic, and keep your content aligned with your brand. You’ll build trust, grow your income, and serve your audience—all without the stress.
You’ve got this, planner girl. 💕
