While this is true that 70% of the overall income of all the highest earning bloggers comes from major affiliate program, its also true that 80% of all the affiliate programs on internet are fake or scam.

How? Well, they keep a high threshold limit for the withdrawal of your affiliate income from their portal and until this limit is not reached you cannot withdraw your money to your bank account.. When you are about to hit the withdrawal limit they bluntly erase you affiliate account without any explanation and you are left with nothing.

This sort of thing has happened personally with me when I tried to work for 000webhostapp affiliate program. Stay away from them if you are also associated with their affiliate program.

Because of this reason I am only covering some reputed and highest paying affiliate only and after my previous post about Amazon and Flipkart affiliate programs , next one which I am going to explain here is Snapdeal. I have already shared with you in detail how I made Rs 50,000 in a month from Amazon Affiliate Program and how I earned Rs 25,000 from Flipkart Affiliate Program.  Amazon and Flipkart are two of the most popular eCommerce programs in India, and if you have yet not worked with either of them, do so now. Read up my post, shoot me your questions and get going.
That said, today in this post I will be taking you through step by step process of how you can easily make money from Snapdeal's affiliate program. Snapdeal is not the largest player in E commerce market-space, but it is a decent size one. And it sure makes sense for you to take a share of its market pie by joining in its affiliate program.
I have made Rs 7,660 in a month from Snapdeal Affiliate Program, shared below is the screenshot of my Snapdeal affiliate income as a proof for you. Yes the figure doesn't look large when compared to Flipkart or Amazon, and that's simply because Snapdeal is not as large player as Amazon. However I would still strongly recommend you to join its affiliate program, because it is bringing in new capital and seeking to expand itself.

What is Snapdeal
Snapdeal is among the leading ecommerce online shopping websites in India, it was started as a daily deal site in 2010 but soon become a full online marketplace. Ratan Tata, SoftBank Corp,  Alibaba Group are some of its investors. To build trust in customers mind Snapdeal brought Amir Khan for the promotion of Snapdeal in March 2015.
What is Snapdeal Affiliate Program
Snapdeal affiliate program is a referral program where you can earn money by promoting Snapdeal’s products on your website/blog. You need to place Snapdeal's links on your website/blog, and promote the same. once somebody click on your link, and visits the site; and also makes a purchase on that visit, then you earn commission as a % of the sales value. The commission % varies for different category of goods and you can check the same on Snapdeal's website. Best part is that if a viewer clicks on your Snapdeal product link, and then purchases a different product ( one which you were not recommending) still you will earn commission on the sale. For Snapdeal its important that you generated sale for them, its immaterial as to what item is sold. So long as sale is generated you will be rewarded for your efforts.

Very Important Points to keep in mind –

Caution – Making below 5 mistakes will get your Snapdeal Affiliate account Suspended.

1. Advertising through Pop-up/Pup under windows is strictly prohibited. Pop-ups are a lucrative way of gaining business, so most rookies are bound to try this technique, but Snapdeal prohibits its use. So stay away from all pop’s.
2. If you have a mailing list, sending out Snapdeal’s offers to them sounds very tempting, right; but DO NOT do so. Snapdeal clearly mentions that bulk mailers are no go and you are not allowed to send them to promote your affiliate link.
3. Paid Ads, yes you can use them to promote your website or blog. But do so with caution. You are NOT ALLOWED to bid on trademark of Snapdeal, or any variations and misspelling of it. This means you can run ads to promote your blog/website with any keywords you wish, except keywords like ‘Snapdeal’ or those related to it, like ‘Snapdeal offers’, ‘Snapedeal’ etc.
4. Being a Snapdeal affiliate you might be tempted to create a website or social media username or group name using Snapdeal in it. For example username: Snapdeal_affilaite or website name snapdealoffer.com etc. STOP. You are not allowed to do so. You cannot use Snapdeal’s name in any website, blog, username, group name etc. This is strictly PROHIBITED.
5. You are not allowed to promote your link on illegal audio/video download site. For this purpose, it’s important to understand, that providing downloads of movie and songs on your website, without the permission of the producer/concerned parties is considered illegal. So if you run a torrent website or similar, bid adieu to your Snapdeal affiliate links.
6. Make sure to read up in details all the terms and conditions mentioned in the affiliate agreement of Snapdeal’s website here – https://affiliate.snapdeal.com/termsandconditions/

Not reading the fine print is a common mistake made by most online players, which results in them being unaware of the rules and assuming things which results in mistakes on their part, and eventual banning of the affiliate account. So READ UP. 15 min spent reading will save you days of agony later on.

There are two ways by which you can make money from Flipkart.

1. Become a Seller on Flipkart

Have something to sell, put it on Flipkart. Yes you too can sell your products on Flipkart. By product I don’t means household items. For selling those, you have olx.in. Here I am referring to those of you who are interested in being a businessmen/businesswomen.

• There are two ways to find what to sell on Flipkart. 1^st is if you already have a product, which you manufacture or make yourself, like handicraft items, clothes, jewellery, fashion accessories and much more, then Flipkart is the place you can sell them.
• 2^nd option is for those who don’t have any product of your own, procure something! There are tons and tons of products out there that are selling at cheaper prices elsewhere, you can procure these products and them upsell them on Flipkart.

Once you have procured the item, you can set your own selling price for it, and add it to Flipkart. This is a cool way to make money, since you will not have to spend anything at all in promoting your product. Flipkart will manage all the advertising. I have helped individuals in making 4 figure profits from their sales on Flipkart. If your product clicks with the audience, sky is the limit to your earning potential via Flipkart.
The process to become a seller on Flipkart is quite straightforward:
Step 1: Register on Flipkart as a seller
Step 2: Provide all information related to the product you want to sell on Flipkart
Step 3: Wait until your application is manually processed and approved
Step 4: Once application is approved, you can list your products on Flipkart
Step 5: Make sales, and earn profit 

2. Become Affiliate of Flipkart

Becoming an affiliate means you will be helping Flipkart make more money. In turn Flipkart will share with you certain % of its profits. This is the simplest way you can make money from Flipkart. All you need to do is help Flipkart find more and more buyers. When you do so and Flipkart makes a sale, it will then share certain profit margin with you for helping it in getting the sale.
As Flipkart has huge range of products, it has classified its products into categories, like electronics, books, clothing… and so on. Affiliate commission of each category is specified by Flipkart from time to time. The commission percentage can be found in your affiliate account under commission tab; usually it ranges from 1% to 15% of the selling price.

Step By Step Process how to make money from Flipkart Affiliate –

Research Work:
Once your Flipkart Affiliate account is in place, next step is research work. For achieving maximum success it is essential that you choose the categories on which you want to focus. You need to decide whether you want to promote all Flipkart categories or you want to focus only on some of them. Here are a few tips to help you take this decision:

• Your interest can help you determine which products you will be most comfortable promoting. If you have interest in particular category of products you should choose to work with them, as you will have more knowledge and experience with them. This will enable you to sell those products to others too. E.g. If you have interest in fashion, work with clothes, accessories, and similar categories.
• Your skill set is another key indicator that will help you determine which category to work with. For those with more complex skill set, working with all categories might be a viable option, whereas for most of us focusing on few categories which suit our skill set is best bet. If you
• Your expertise level in your chosen categories, will impact your success. If for example you choose to work with electronic gadgets category, you should have technical expertise, so as to know and understand which product is better than other, and how it can help buyers. This will enable you to convince more buyers about buying the product.

Once you have decided the category/categories you want to work with, we are all set to start the money making process. But first, you will have to invest some resources in order to maximize your Flipkart affiliate earning potential.
Implementation:
Step 1: You need a blog, or website through which you can reach out to maximum buyers and thus maximize your sales and earning potential too.
Step 2: Deciding on a domain name for your website or blog. Here are a few pointers to help you choose the best domain name:

• You can take a direct approach and choose a domain name that talks about what it contains. If you are planning to launch a blog on Gadgets you can choose a name which conveys what will be in the blog, it can be as simple as www.allAboutGadgets.com or myGadgetsblog.com
• Other option is to take an opposite approach, wherein your domain name has nothing to do with what it contains. Under this approach, you can choose a domain name as your name (like I have done), as something you love (kiteflying.com), something that would strike a chord with readers (freshideas.com) etc.

Step 3: Buying your domain name. I have found two trusted sellers, whom I keep revisiting for my domains requirements. These are Hostgator & Godaddy. They are also the largest players in domain space, and hence doing business with them, guarantees smooth transaction and hassle free domain transfer. You can book a .com in 700/- Rs and .in domain in Rs 199/-
Step 4: Once you are done with domain registration; now you need a good blog Hosting services, you need to be very careful while choosing hosting services because if hosting is down this will directly affect your income, hence never go with a cheap hosting plan. I have done research on hosting providers and suggest the below providers as I use them and I am happy with their services.

• Hostgator WordPress Blog Hosting
• Bigrock Hosting
• Hostgator has this one click WordPress setup button; you can use it to set your blog.

Step 5: Next, you will need a theme for your website/blog. There are many free wordpress themes available; you can install whichever you like.
Step 6: Install SEO Plugins which will help in onpage SEO.
Step 7: Once your blog is ready, you need to start posting content on your blog/website.

• Post on the topics which are trending
• You will have keep yourself up to date, about the popular products on Flipkart in your category and write about them
• Your writing can include guides, suggestion or reviews; you can also compare products within same niche. However make sure to always give clear winner from amongst the products you have compared. Visitors prefer your article should not be left in the dilemma of which product to buy
• Include product affiliate banner under your post

Step 8: Start promoting your blog/website. Work on maximizing visitors to your blog/website. More visitors will mean more profit for you. Do this via:

• Various Social Media Platforms
• Good link building techniques

Monitor Results:
Gradually as you accumulate on the number of post, and keep working on promoting your blog; you will find your blog traffic will start improving. As the traffic grows so will your chances of earning from it. Soon you will discover that you are making sales via your Flipkart affiliate account, and before you realize you will be celebrating your first income from Flipkart.
I have shared some of the tips which I used to make Rs 25,000/- in 30 days. Apply them to your website/blog and see your success grow manifold.

My Success Mantras –

Below are my Tips on How you can quickly start making money from Flipkart Affiliate Program.
Hope above post helped you; don't forget to leave your comment below.

If you’ve heard of this little old eCommerce store named Amazon, then you might also know that Amazon has what is likely the largest affiliate program in the world. Beyond selling tons of products, it also has some peculiarities with rules and store localization that make it different from many of the other affiliate programs out there.
For example, we use Thirsty Affiliates on WPLift and recommend it as a great tool to cloak affiliate links but…Amazon doesn’t allow affiliate link cloaking. So even though Thirsty Affiliates is a great overall affiliate plugin, it’s not a great Amazon affiliate plugin.
For that reason, I thought it would be helpful to create a list comprised specifically of the best Amazon affiliate WordPress plugins. These will help you insert Amazon affiliate links (and localize them) and images without running afoul of Amazon’s strict affiliate policies.
Some can even help you import products into a WooCommerce store, if you want to go that route.
Let’s jump in…

1. EasyAzon

EasyAzon is one of the most popular Amazon affiliate plugins out there.
The plugin aims to make it easier and quicker for you to create and insert Amazon affiliate links into your site, plus a bunch of other helpful features for Amazon affiliates.
With EasyAzon, you can create links directly from the WordPress Editor – no need to ever step foot on Amazon’s site. You can also insert images the same way, which is great because of the murkiness over whether or not you’re allowed to upload Amazon’s product pictures to your own website.
Beyond that, EasyAzon also includes a neat feature that lets readers add a product to their cart straight from your website. I didn’t know this, but apparently that extends the commissionable time period to 90 days (for that item).
Finally, EasyAzon can localize your Amazon links so that visitors go straight to their local Amazon store website.
EasyAzon does come in a basic free version that lets you add text affiliate links from the WordPress Editor, but you’ll need the Pro version to get most of the features that I listed above.
The pro version starts at $47 for unlimited use on personal websites.
Get EasyAzon

2. Amazon Affiliate for WordPress

Oli actually already reviewed Amazon Affiliate for WordPress, but let me go ahead and share it again in case you’re not familiar.
Like EasyAzon, Amazon Affiliate for WordPress helps you easily insert and localize Amazon affiliate products into your site without leaving WordPress.
But it also goes way further than that, the plugin can also help you:

• Automatically update prices via API so that you can display real prices on your site without violating the Amazon Associates terms about out-of-date pricing
• Easily create product comparison tables for different Amazon products without needing to manually enter information
• Create automated bestseller lists and new releases

I encourage you to read Oli’s review if you want to learn more about this plugin – it’s pretty dang powerful!
Amazon Affiliate for WordPress is a premium plugin that starts at €39 for a single site license.

3. Amazon Link Engine / Geniuslink

Amazon Link Engine is Geniuslink’s WordPress plugin. If you’re not familiar with Geniuslink, it’s basically a link localization service that makes sure Amazon links are always localized.
So why is Geniuslink better than the other Amazon affiliate plugins that offer link localization?
Because it localizes links based on more than just product ID. Product ID alone can fail sometimes, but Geniuslink tries to always return a properly localized product, even if the product IDs don’t match.
Just be aware – while the plugin itself is free, you will need a paid Geniuslink account to use most of the features. Paid accounts start at $9 per month depending on the number of clicks you need Geniuslink to handle.
Get Geniuslink

4. WooCommerce Amazon Affiliates

WooCommerce Amazon Affiliates makes it easy for you to import Amazon affiliate products into your WooCommerce store. With the associated WooZone ASIN Grabber, you can build product lists while browsing Amazon’s website. Then, you can import all those products that you curate into your WooCommerce store with just a few clicks.
Once in your store, the plugin localizes the Add to Cart button so that visitors can add the product at their local store. And it also checks stock availability for each country, which is a nice feature.
It also supports product and price variations, as well as a nifty content spinner tool to generate unique product descriptions. Personally, I’m not a big fan of content spinning, but I know it’s a popular approach.
The plugin offers a number of other smaller features, so make sure that you read the full product description if you’re intrigued.
WooCommerce Amazon Affiliates costs $42 at Code Canyon.

5. Amazon Associates Link Builder

First off, let me say that a ton of people hate this plugin…but it is the official Amazon Associates affiliate plugin, so I’d be remiss if I didn’t put it on this list. Still – keep in mind that it has a dismal 2.9-star rating at the WordPress.org plugin directory.
Amazon Associates Link Builder lets you search for products from inside WordPress and add those products to your sites via a variety of pre-made templates.
I personally wouldn’t recommend it because the interface is horrible. But if you want to use the official Amazon Associates plugin…here it is.

6. Amazon eStore Affiliates Plugin

Like WooCommerce Amazon Affiliates, Amazon eStore Affiliates Plugin helps you import Amazon affiliate products into your WooCommerce store.
You import the products, then visitors can automatically add them to their Amazon cart right from your store.
You can also grab product variations, prices, and spin product descriptions.
Again like WooCommerce Amazon Affiliates, Amazon eStore Affiliates Plugin is a premium plugin that’s available for $49 at Code Canyon.
Get Amazon eStore Affiliates Plugin

7. Amazon Auto Links

Amazon Auto Links is a free plugin that gives you shortcodes (and a shortcode builder) that you can use to generate Amazon product lists. It also has a tool to automatically insert ads in a specific part of your site.
You can either insert specific products or lists based on categories and search codes.
There are also a ton of parameters to define image sizes, localization, link style, and more. And you can also set up your own custom buttons if you’d like.
It’s not quite as polished as the premium Amazon affiliate plugins but it’s also…free. Tough to argue with that.
Get Amazon Auto Links

8. Amazon Link Localization by BestAzon

BestAzon is an Amazon Associates link localization service. Once you install the plugin, it will automatically “globalize” every Amazon link on your site.
The plugin itself is free but, like Geniuslink, you’ll need a paid BestAzon plan to actually localize your links via the plugin. That plan starts at $6 per month. You can also donate 3% of your clicks to charity if you’d rather not pay the monthly fee.

Wrapping Up The Best Amazon Affiliate Plugins

Amazon niche sites are a huge niche (sic!), especially when it comes to WordPress sites. These Amazon affiliate plugins can help you create a better niche site with less work, all while staying on the right side of Amazon Associate’s policies.
As usual, if you know a great Amazon Associates plugin that’s not on the list, let us know in the comments so that we can all benefit!

What is the Amazon Associates program all about?

How to make Money from Amazon Affiliate Marketing

1.) Learn some basic HTML of you have no knowledge about it

2.) Choose your topic

3.) Pick a domain name

4.) Register the domain name you pick

5.) Set up web hosting for your site

6.) Install a blog software

7.) Make it look good

8.) Set categories up

9.) Go to Amazon.com and sign up as an associate

11.) Create the Amazon Build-a-Link bookmark/link

12.) Build your first link

13.) Blog your review

14.) Build out your site

15.) Promote your site

Useful Tips to Get You Started

1. It is important for you to learn some basic HTML as well as basic concepts pertaining to running a website. It’s not really tedious to understand and within a short period, you will have a grasp of it. Relying on purchased software might backfire because it might not give you what you really need and when things go wrong you will end up spending more than you ought to. Take time to learn these things and you won’t regret it.
2. If you are a music lover, it would be a good idea to promote it over books and even other products. All you need to do is listen to clips of a full album within a short period, say 10 minutes, get a good feel of it without you purchasing it and do a short review. If there is another niche you are passionate about, make sure you get a unique discovery about it. Of course, there are hundreds of thousands of reviews about these products all over the web but you need to make yours more unique to attract people to your site.
3. If you want to make even more money, sign up for Google AdSense. Although, it might not make too much income but it’s worth it since it is free to sign up and doesn’t require anything to maintain.
4. Set good expectations for your earnings. Since you must have invested $20 and you are going to make 5% per product, it means you need to sell $400 worth of products to make your investment back. If you want to make $20 per hour, what you write on must generate $400 worth of product purchased.
