Making money as an affiliate marketer can be tough sometimes. But it can be done. Today I would like to discuss How To Make Money With eBay Affiliate Program. I personally love affiliate marketing, because it is a great way to supplement my monthly income.
You have probably heard this million times now, affiliate marketing requires you to have patience, as it is not an overnight rich scheme. Sales just don’t happen overnight.
However, some people may witness a sale in their first week of applying affiliate marketing techniques, while others may not make their first sale until a few months later, or even years.

So the first step to becoming an eBay affiliate marketer, you need to first sign up. And below I have the step-by-step procedure to do that.
- Visit eBay’s main page.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen, and click on “Affiliates” which is found under “Sell”
- You will be redirected to the EPN page, sign up and you are all set to go.

How To Make Money With eBay Affiliate Program ?
Now you have your eBay affiliate account set up, we will move into discussing How To Make Money With eBay Affiliate Program. As mentioned earlier, the goal is to promote products through your affiliate links, using as many channels possible. And below I will share with you the ways you can use to do such.
First of all, post your affiliate links on to your websites. So if you don’t already have a website, please get one. It is not as expensive as you think.
All you need is a hosting company, and a domain name. There are so many hosting companies out there, which have affordable prices.
The second thing you want to get into the habit of doing is to write product reviews. So you would write a review about a product you are interested in promoting.
Having an understanding of the product you’re promoting can go a long way in helping you make sales. Not only does it help your audience trust your recommendation to use a certain product, also makes it easier to answer questions they may have about the product.
If you have never written a product review before, go online to Google, and do a web-search, you will find so many ways you can use to write a good product review.
The point in writing a product review, is actually conveying to the buyer, that you know so much about the product, and you can answer questions they may have about the product, before buying it.
Thirdly, you can promote your eBay affiliate links through E-mail marketing . This is an online tool which you can utilize to help you earn money as an eBay affiliate member. Again, there are so many email marketing companies out there, some are free to use, up to a limited number of subscribers per month.
However, be careful, which email marketing company to use, since some of them do not allow you to practice affiliate marketing. That’s not a big deal, simply look for one that supports affiliate marketing use.
Another way you can promote your eBay affiliate links, through Social Media networks, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and etc. Please be careful when using social media networks to promote your affiliate links, because sometimes when you post or share so many affiliate links, you may be risk of having your account terminated, and I am sure you don’t want that.
It can be hard to promote links on Social media networks, because people are seeing enough ads through out the day on their Facebook and Instagram pages. So as a beginner, you can start by sharing with your friends and family. And of course, you don’t want to over do it either.
One of the best and easy ways to promote your eBay affiliate links , through YouTube Series. This may sound hard to do, but it’s not. You can use a YouTube series, where you will basically have links to the products that you are promoting. Again, PLEASE, be careful to not have links that are not really related to the videos, because you will be listed as a SPAM.
The best way to doing this, is to not focus on promoting the links since day one, instead you want to work on gaining the trust of your viewer and getting more viewers to see your videos. This will ensure that viewers will have interest in your videos. Thus, viewers are more likely to buy the product you are promoting.
So have one link in the description, and one over the video that is relevant to the video. This can be a video about a certain product you are promoting.
Another way you can promote your eBay affiliate links, through a HUB. This is very simple to do, and by the way FREE. So when building a Hub, you choose a topic and you can write about it. You can then insert ads and reviews without having to worry about writing any HTML.
That’s the beauty of using a HUB. This is very similar to when posting to social networks. So you will be getting traffic if people are interested in your topic.
And you don’t want to SPAM the HUB, so don’t stuff it with so many affiliate links. Work on gaining the readers trust, the same way you would when using a YouTube series, and any other channel.
