Website templates and design knowledge.

Let's start:

1. How to make money with affiliate programs.

In the previous post, we talked about how you can create your own affiliate program and have other creators promote your products for you in exchange for a commission. For each sale they bring, they receive a percentage of the revenue.

But, what if instead of creating your own program, you decide to promote other people products? This is also a great way to make money online.

2. How to join an affiliate program?

Before start, you need to decide which products and niche you want to sell. For this example let's talk about design templates, more specifically Framer templates.

With the rise of tools like Framer, the demand for digital products like website templates is huge! And with that, a lot of designers and creators have their own store with an affiliate program.

For example, I have my own template shop - Quickfold and we offer an affiliate program where you earn 20% for each sale you bring.

You can join here and start earning.

After deciding with products you want to sell, you can go to the website and join that creator's affiliate program. Follow the simple instructions to start promoting the products. The majority of these programs are created on Lemonsqueezy.

You can also join multiple programs from different niches like SaaS, software, education products…

If you already have an Lemonsqueezy account, you can also browse the different programs and options available to you. It's so easy to do: In your dashboard, click on the 3 dots on the bottom left corner and select ‘‘affiliate Hub‘‘.

This will open the different options and you just have to pick and choose which on you want to join.

You can also type and find the affiliate program on the search bar.

Now that you joined a new affiliate program, is time to start promoting and earning.

3. How to promote the products and start making money?

Just like any product, promoting and marketing is the key to success. You are now a part of a business by helping the creator promote their own products, so using the right strategies is what will make a difference.

If you already have a brand on social media this will be even easier because you can share the different products with your audience and also create content to attract more people.

4. Finding the right audience.

The best way to start promoting the products with content is by understanding the products itself and find the target audience. For Framer templates, the customers are creators, designers, small business owners, agency owners, entrepreneurs, artists, SaaS founders, writers and people who want to launch their businesses online without spending thousands of dollars on web design or spending days or weeks publishing their website on the internet.

After understanding this, we can help these clients launch their ideas with our products.

5. Creating organic content.

To attract new clients to our products, we can start by creating content to showcase the product's value. The content should be about benefits and solving problems.

Platforms like X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Youtube, Reddit are great places to showcase the utility of the template itself and drive more sales. Focus on visual images of the product, short-form content and case studies.

6. Email marketing.

Having a newsletter is one of the best ways to promote digital products like Framer templates and attract more sales. Write compelling emails and nurture your audience to build trust and help the customers. You can also give free value to your newsletter members by sharing a free product or demo with them and let them see the benefits of buying a specific website template.

Remember that we want to help our customers save more time & money.

7. Blog posts.

Another great way to promote affiliate products is by leveraging your personal or business website and write blog content to drive traffic. Write compelling blog posts about the templates, focus on benefits like saving money & time and solving a specific problem for the customer. Remember that using specific keywords helps your reach and SEO.

After writing a blog post about a Framer template, promote your content on different social media channels to drive more traffic to it.

8. Stay updated.

Have a good relationship with the creator behind the affiliate program. This will ensure that you stay informed about new products and launches and help him promote and earn more.

9. Conclusion

In this post, we learned how you can promote other people's products instead of creating your own affiliate program. Both are great options to make money online and you just need to find which one is better for you and start taking action.

Understand the product, find the right audience, promote on social media, leverage your personal brand, drive traffic and convert more sales.
