Affiliate Marketing with Lazada (Updated)

After a year of blogging, I started looking for additional sources of income other than Google Adsense and Nuffnang. So far, Lazada’s Affiliate Program has the highest potential.

I already have several articles about the latest gadgets in the Philippines. Most of these phones and tablets are being sold online by Lazada.

I then created affiliate links on my article in a form of a ‘Buy on Lazada’ button. If my readers click on that then proceeded to buy on Lazada, I get a commission.

How to Join the Lazada Affiliate Program

To join Lazada’s affiliate program, you can just sign up here. Please respond to the confirmation email that you were referred by Daniel Gubalane.

You must have an online audience whom to promote products like smartphones, cameras, dresses or other items. If you have thousands of followers on Facebook, that’s already a very good audience. Twitter and Instagram are also good alternatives. However, the best choice is a blog.

If you don’t have any of these yet, start right now! Create a free blog on blogspot.com or start a Facebook page.

Using Banners and Deep Links

Lazada offers banner ads and text links. Their new platform even offers banners with dynamic ads. This means that different ads will show on the same spot so that your readers won’t be bored by the same ad showing over and over again.

However, I find the text links more effective and that’s what I’ve been using. To create a text link, just copy the Lazada URL of the product that you want to promote. You then go to the Deep Link creator and paste the URL on the Add Website text box. You’ll then have your affiliate text link.

You can now use this link in your blog posts. You can even share it directly to your Facebook page or Twitter followers!

Update

It has been almost two years since I first published this article. My earnings from the Lazada Affiliate Program has been very healthy.

On average, it makes up about 30% of my earnings and reaches up 50% to 60% when they hold a SALE with additional incentives for affiliates.
