Did you know that Designer Blogs has an affiliate program? Well, we sure do, and we’d love for you to become a part of it! Joining our affiliate program gives you the opportunity to earn cash by promoting our products on your blog, social media pages, and/or in an email. Affiliates can earn a 10% commission on any of our downloadable digital products, including our Planners, WordPress Themes, Accessories, and Blogger Templates.
How Does it Work?
The process is very simple:
- Visitor clicks on an affiliate banner ad or link on your site, social media page, or in an email.
- The visitors IP is logged and a cookie is placed in their browser for tracking purposes.
- The visitor browses our Planners, WordPress Themes, Accessories and/or Blogger Templates and may decide to order.
- If the visitor orders (the order does not need to be placed during the same browser session – cookies and IPs are stored for 60 days), the order will be registered as a sale for you and you will receive commission for this sale.
Becoming an affiliate is the perfect option for passive income!
