Top 5 recommended Affiliate Programs
Are you a Nano or a Micro-Influencer? What’s the difference?
Both Nano and Micro-Influencers tend to have amazing engagement and are sometimes seen as the most authentic kind of influencer. A Nano-influencer usually has a smaller following with less than 1,000 followers whereas, a Micro-Influencer’s following can be between 1,000 to 100,000 followers. Both Nano and Micro-Influencers usually have great engagement with their audience. Nano & Micro-Influencers are thought of as more authentic since they are more likely to know and have a relationship with their followers.
Affiliate programs for Nano & Micro-Influencers
As a Nano or Micro-Influencer, you can monetize your content creation by using affiliate links. A lot of companies have affiliate programs attached to their brands that you can sign up for. The disadvantage of signing up to many individual company affiliate programs is that it can be tedious to keep up with.
Affiliate programs that have many companies within their programs make it easier to find links and categories of the products that you can promote. Some affiliate programs can be difficult to be accepted when you sign up. Others can be easy to sign up to but the commission may not be great.
These are my favorite affiliate links for Nano & Micro Beauty & Lifestyle Influencers. These have free promotional tools that are user-friendly.
