it\u2019s an online marketplace where crafters and vintage retailers can set up an online store.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows them to become a business \u201cowner\u201d without having to set up a website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The genesis of Etsy took place in a New York City apartment when three friends spotted a gap in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And Etsy was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What does the brand name mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They made it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time 2007 rolled around Etsy had already generated over $1.5 million in sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And crafters and vintage sellers were flocking to the site as its name spread along the grapevine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Etsy has gone from strength to strength since, including a successful IPO in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"383\"

popular with the affiliate marketing crowd too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s find out why that\u2019s the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-products-can-you-promote\">What products can you promote?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Etsy products are focused on two key areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Handmade crafts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vintage items<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that might lead you to believe that it\u2019s like a kind of online thrift store that only sells craft gifts and jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we\u2019re talking about real vintage items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And lots more besides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the handmade side of things Etsy are fond of breaking their own rules by allowing mass-produced items to be sold on the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is they\u2019re the exception rather than the rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they do kick out the obvious offenders i.e. stuff made in sweatshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Anyways, it\u2019s time to take a look at the different primary categories of products you\u2019ll have to work with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table aligncenter is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Jewellery &amp; Accessories<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Clothing &amp; Shoes<\/td><td>Home &amp; Living<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Wedding &amp; Party<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Toys &amp; Entertainment<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Craft Supplies &amp; Tools<\/td><td>Art &amp; Collectibles<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Vintage<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That might seem like a limited range of products to work with, but there are sub-categories within each primary category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what \u2018Craft Supplies &amp; Tools\u201d looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter

readers might have noticed the \u2018Electronics &amp; Circuits\u2019 sub-category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crafters buy and sell their tools here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as items like this:<\/p>\n\n\n<div

you\u2019ll find a whole other sub-category of consumer electronics \u2013 vintage cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long story short, Etsy is about far more than party decorations and novel wedding gifts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One common question is, \u201cCan I be an Etsy affiliate if I already operate a store on their platform?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is \u201cYes\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only condition is that you won\u2019t earn any commissions on items bought from your own store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which is more than fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FlexOffers<\/a> affiliate marketing network if you happen to get declined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But apart from that you only ever have to deal with Awin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the first thing you need to know there is that this particular affiliate network charges a refundable $5 fee to join up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I get that they do this to keep spammers out, but it\u2019s still annoying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully the rest of their application process isn\u2019t.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

don\u2019t adopt this approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"affiliate-payments\">Affiliate payments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The only thing more annoying than delayed payments is not receiving payment at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you decide to promote Etsy products via their affiliate program you can look forward to being paid on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twice a month in fact \u2013 on the 1<sup>st<\/sup> and 15<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously, you need to have validated sales to get paid for them, so don\u2019t expect to receive any commissions for the first 30 days, at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But after that you can look forward to receiving payment every 2 weeks, or monthly if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of actually getting paid by Etsy\u2019s affiliate program you have several options available to you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Check<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>International wire<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payment to bank account via ACH<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div

there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cookies\">Cookies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Etsy affiliate program comes with a 30-day cookie, which is pretty much standard for the better affiliate programs out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also gives Etsy plenty of time to convert traffic to those Etsy shops into sales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This cookie also operates on \u201clast click\u201d attribution so make sure to only send warm traffic to Etsy content and offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"affiliate-tools\">Affiliate tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These tools aren\u2019t native to the Etsy affiliate program, but rather to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.authorityhacker.com\/awin-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Awin network<\/a> itself.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"374\"

links to products anywhere on the Etsy store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One really nice Etsy affiliate tool is the \u2018MyAwin Chrome Extension\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This allows you to simply go to the Etsy site, browse around until you find something you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then just click on the extension button to create an affiliate link right there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being able to create text links this way isn\u2019t exactly revolutionary, but it does make the life of an affiliate marketer that bit easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"commission-rates\">Commission rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And now we get to the really important bit \u2013 how much you get paid for adding Etsy affiliate links to your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of the Etsy affiliate program you will receive a commission of 4% for \u201cstandard publisher\u201d referrals and 2% per sale for referrals generated by user generated content (UGC).<\/p>\n\n\n<div

content posted on social media platforms i.e. images, videos, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, it\u2019s just safer and more profitable to use standard Etsy affiliate links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something else to watch out for in the Etsy affiliate program is zero commission rates based on the payment method used by a customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Etsy purchases made by check, money order or anything other than a credit or debit card will earn you exactly nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gift card purchases by a customer are also zero commission rate items within the Etsy affiliate program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you see why I\u2019m always banging on about reading the fine print when it comes to making money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also worth mentioning that Etsy will also pay your affiliate commission no matter what country the referral came from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does the 4% commission rate put you off?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Probably because you\u2019re thinking, \u201cHow can I possibly make money as an Etsy affiliate getting 4% per sale of whatever handmade gifts cost?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re right \u2013 you probably can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But how about if you post affiliate links on your

once you stop thinking \u201c&#8230;Etsy is just for gift ideas\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You just have to \u2013 and I hate myself for saying this \u2013 think outside the box when it comes to Etsy offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re willing to do that, Etsy can be an absolute gold mine of ideas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"support\">Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at how much support you can expect from Etsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Newer affiliates tend to have more questions than answers so it\u2019s nice to see, as part of their Awin affiliate program, Etsy provides lots of support via their affiliate team\/manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get access to helpful videos, a Wiki, a contact form for submitting questions and even a live chat support function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That gives you the human connection missing from most support programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the information you need is never more than a few clicks away on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s about as comprehensive as you could hope for when it comes to affiliate programs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"weighing-it-up\">Weighing it up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Still not sure how you feel about the Etsy affiliate program?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s break down the obvious advantages and disadvantages to help you make your mind about whether or not you should become an Etsy affiliate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pros\">Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>4% commission is just about enough to make it worthwhile<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They\u2019re a market leader in the vintage and craft niche \u2013 Etsy is one of a kind<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There\u2019s enough variety of products to suit most niches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each Etsy product you sell helps a small business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Managed by Awin, so your commissions are safe<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Etsy has unique products that you won\u2019t find anywhere else<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You get a 30-day cookie<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lots of marketing tools and creatives to work with<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Etsy is a company with very strong upward growth (IPO)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cons\"><br>Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>\u2018Net 30\u2019 is really more like \u2018Net 60\u2019&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 4% affiliate commission rate is still pretty mean<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Etsy has developed a reputation for focusing more on business than their creators<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have to pay a refundable $5 application fee to join (Awin, not Etsy itself)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>URL: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/affiliates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Etsy affiliate

affiliate program?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I genuinely like the Etsy marketplace and what it has to offer Etsy affiliates.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you have to go beyond surface-level thinking when you evaluate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are tons of unique products here to suit everything from the wedding niche and home decor to the nerd audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, retro\/vintage is really popular right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The commission rate could be a whole lot better, but we could say that of almost any affiliate program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also a great place to research potential niches for your own sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s also something we can help you with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, you can attend our <a
