Etsy reviews

I have found the conversion rate pretty decent, but my problem is that they don't seem to approve my sales a lot. Like 30% of them aren't approved and therefore isn't paid out. I've actually been thinking about dropping them because of it.

It’s part of the Awin affiliate network, and it’s been ok, but I make more from amazon.

However, in my niche there are products that can only be found on Etsy, and products that can only be found on Amazon - I didn’t have to pick between the two.

The Etsy cookie is 30 days, and the commissions are similar to Amazon.

Amazon converts because they sell everything and shipping is free for Prime members, but it really depends on your niche. I personally love buying jewellery from Etsy but wouldn’t buy it from Amazon. It really depends on your audience.

The Etsy affiliate program has been in place for a while and the dashboard is through Awin. I'm an affiliate (I don't try too hard with it though) and the basic rule is that you don't use affiliate links for your own store's products.

They run contests often for a gift card and you get access to an affiliates-only website with a calendar and recommendations on content/ways to earn commissions.

If you're a lifestyle blogger, Etsy is a great affiliate option because it covers so many categories. The program offers an average 4% commission per sale, but because there's such a range of products and prices, commissions could be huge if you have a niche audience.
