How to become an official aliexpress partner. AliExpress Affiliate Program

EPN.BZ is an affiliate program of several online platforms (about them below), which allows you to earn money on invitations to these stores for both new and existing customers. Webmasters, owners of groups in social networks and YouTube channels, "affiliate marketers", and in general ... anyone can participate - we will analyze the possible sources of traffic and earnings within the framework of this article.

By the way, I'm ready to open some interesting cases and personal secrets, so you can stock up on popcorn and a piece of paper with a pen.

I started working with the EPN affiliate program about 2 years ago at the invitation of my friend. Then they worked only with the Aliexpress platform (Alibaba), but now they already have 5 popular stores in their arsenal:

How to work

There are two options for cooperation:

  1. Direct invitations to store pages and product cards. Simply, in your affiliate account, create links to pages with descriptions of specific stores, search queries, promotions, or directly to the home page. When clicking on it, a cookie is set on the visitor's computer and if he orders some product, then you will receive a certain percentage (usually 8-9%);
  2. Invite new users to. If a person follows your link and signs up with the cashback service, then you will receive 1.5% of their purchases for life.

Let's take a closer look at each of the points above, but first ...

Partner account registration

First you need to register. To do this, go through and register, everything is simple, I will not describe the simplest elementary things.

Adding a site

After registration, you need to log into your account and add sites. These can be sites, blogs, groups in social networks and channels on video resources (all images are clickable):

Affiliates can specify the type of contextual advertising that they plan to use, and for doorway pages, you need to add one of the doorways and write in support that this is a network. In any case, always contact support, they will help - time-tested and numerous calls.

If you do not have any of the above and you do not plan to create it, then you can only use the "" cashback program, or create your own Vkontakte group today ...

We create creatives

Creativity is a kind of tool for attracting customers and users, from whose purchases partners receive their percentage. Here are the main ones:

  1. Links;
  2. Banners;
  3. Landing pages (landing pages);

There are others, but they are rarely used or not used at all, so I will not dwell on them in this article.

Links

This is perhaps the most popular tool. They can be placed anywhere: under an article describing a product on a website or under a video on YouTube, in posts and comments on Vkontakte, just send them to friends - there are a lot of applications.

To create it, go to "Tools" -> "Affiliate Link":

We fill in the fields:

  • "Creative name" - any. It is used only for your personal convenience, so that you don’t forget where which link leads to and can then view the statistics of clicks on different links;
  • "Offer" - a platform to which a visitor (store) will be directed. By default, it is always AliExpress;
  • “Link to any page” is the most important point. Just put the initial link to any page of the selected offer, it can be the main page, the product section, the product itself, the seller, the pages of various promotions, the search page, and so on;
  • Pay attention to the checkbox “ Use to attract Cashback ePN users". At this stage, we do not put it, a little later there will be an explanation and examples of the case when it can be used;

Here you can find out the landing page, the name that we gave when creating, but where is the link itself? You can get it by clicking on this icon, you can also shorten it there:


Banners

This tool is relevant only for the owners of their sites and traffic affiliates. If you are a webmaster or an affiliate marketer, then you yourself know what's what when working with banners. I will only note that not all sizes are presented in Russian versions and there is a possibility of creating Smart-banners, which are many images that change randomly.

To create a Smart Banner, just click the button:

And select the banner images you want.

Promo-landing pages

Landing pages or "landing pages" allow you to interest users in specific sections, offers, promotions, etc. There are really a lot of them!

In fact, this is just a very nicely designed page with bright titles and interesting product offers. Here are the options:

There are a variety of topics: sports, clothing, baby, school, health, home, decor, phones, etc. You can choose for any traffic and interest the visitor in any case.

For example, do you have a sewing and handicraft YouTube channel? Direct visitors to. Or maybe a Vkontakte group about fishing, give a link.

Coupons

Extremely effective tool... Well, who doesn't like discounts and discount coupons, when you can buy the desired product much cheaper than the regular price?

Here's an example of coupons in your account:

We select the coupon (they can be sorted by subject and store) and click "Get the code", the following window will appear:

When you click on the coupon link at the top of the page, a special frame with a code will be added, which, however, does not always work. That is why it is necessary to check them first. The direct link will only open a page in the store with offers.

In general, as with landing pages, it is quite convenient to use it to direct visitors to certain niches: auto, children's, summer, school, etc.

Placement of creatives

Again, if you already have your own sites on the necessary topics or other resources, then you yourself already know everything and will figure it out without me. This paragraph of the article was created, first of all, for novice partners.

Signing up for the EPN affiliate program and creating links / banners / landing pages is pretty simple, but you can't expect any income from this. It is necessary that interested people go to creatives.

To do this, you need to have your own sources of traffic (visitors = traffic) or be able to buy ads from others ...

Own traffic sources

The most profitable way to make a profit, since after working and spending a little money on promotion, we can use it for a long time in the future. This can be your own Vkontakte group, YouTube channel, website, blog, forum, various communities, etc. By the way, after successful promotion, if you wish, you can sell such a source and / or create new ones in unlimited quantities, if only there is enough time, spirit and money.

Vkontakte community

The easiest way from a technical point of view, besides, many already have their own account and they can use the basic functions.

First of all, you need to create a thematic group. It doesn't have to be a group called "All goods from Aliexpress" or "Many goods from China", it needs to be given a certain direction. For example: "Goods from China under $ 2" or "Funny goods with Ali", or "Rare goods with Ali".

In general, think for yourself, you can just type in the VK search the query "Aliexpress", "Goods from China", etc., look at the groups already created by other people and come up with your own theme. Spend more time on this step, since the success of the whole undertaking will depend on it.

Be sure to create a beautiful setting for the group. If you can't do it yourself - order on freelance (for example), they won't take a lot of money for this, and the effect of the colorful theme design during promotion will be very noticeable! Do not postpone the design until later, like: "This will be the first result and I will do ...", so you will lose quite a few new potential subscribers of the group.

When the group is created, it's time to start filling it ... The first 10 posts at least you must create BEFORE you start promoting, otherwise no one just wants to join the community.

Find interesting products on your topic, design a post by inserting your link. Here are a couple of examples of posts (CLICKLY remind):

The more effective the posts are, the more interesting the products in them and the more memorable the design, the better! You can create a post template and save it somewhere to yourself, so as not to constantly spend a lot of time on the design of each individual post.

Be sure to add your EPN affiliate link to each post, and not directly to the product card in the store, otherwise all the work will be "wasted".

Promotion of the Vkontakte group on Aliexpress- this is a separate and most important point that you need to spend a little (or a lot) on. Only your friends and friends of friends - will not give a ride! Do not expect that subscribers will gradually "grow" themselves - this happens only with already popular and promoted groups.

Promotion methods:

Write in the comments under the article about your methods of promoting VK groups.

YouTube channel

This item is already more difficult than the previous one, it is harder and longer to untwist, but the efficiency is much higher. 1000 YouTube subscribers can bring in more profit than 5000 who joined the Vkontakte group.

Here are the YouTube channel options:

  • Review and unpack the received goods. A very popular trend, but you need to constantly order goods. However, many reviewers then resell these products in their own country with a small mark-up. That way, they get both material for new videos and profits from resale. You will need a high-quality video camera, microphone, diction, basic skills in working with any video editor. It can be unpacked both at home and in the car, garage, and other interesting places. Here .;
  • Review of goods in stores without buying them. The owners of such channels simply take photos of products from stores, look for other reviews and reviews for more information, and then talk about them in detail. This is how videos of the type "Top cool goods from Aliexpress" appear, etc., you can find them in the YouTube search;
  • Overview of various previously purchased products,;
  • You can combine all the previous points.

As in creating a VKontakte group, here you need to seriously think about the topic of the channel. However, a channel like unpacking various categories of goods from China is fine, just break down different categories by playlists.

How to create a channel, how to edit and upload a video - you will find all this on YouTube itself, there is a lot of information. Just before watching videos, use filters so as not to study outdated or non-targeted information:


Promotion comes down to buying ads on similar channels. Find them through a search, then study the quantity and quality of the videos, how often they are uploaded, the number of subscribers, their activity (comments, likes, etc.). By the way, dislike is also activity!

If everything is fine and the channel is developing, go to the description section "About the channel":

And read in more detail, often in the description they indicate the cost and nature of possible advertising. If not, then see the "Advanced" item and the item "For commercial inquiries".

Use this data for communication. If there are no such coordinates, try to write a comment on some popular video, leaving information for communication.

Start promoting a channel when there are at least 5-10 videos on it. Be sure to create a splash screen (Intro), beautiful design. On the main page, post either the best video or a special video to attract new subscribers (promo video).

When you have a sufficient number of subscribers, exchange videos, ads in them and links with other channels of similar topics.

Often, a group of Vkontakte and YouTube are created at the same time on the same topic, related to each other. Links to new videos, channel subscription links and new finds in stores are posted in the VK group.

YouTube simply mentions the group and its benefits.

If you have the opportunity, time and money for the simultaneous promotion of both of these areas - that's just fine! But if not, then it is better to start by creating and promoting the group, and then connect the video channel as well.

Your website or blog

This is the most difficult and time-consuming resource for beginners. But once an article is written, it can bring new users for months or even years! So, for example, the Vkontakte group needs to be constantly supported, otherwise it will quickly become inactive, the users themselves will forget about it, and some will leave the community altogether.

On the YouTube channel, things are a little better. Uploaded videos can also last for years, but the number of subscribers and their activity are also very important there. In terms of making money in this article, I will talk about this.

At the same time, a good site can be filled periodically, not all the time. And even an abandoned or poorly populated resource can bring traffic from search engines for a long time.

Well, and besides ... This is your own resource and how exactly it will work / look, where exactly to insert the advertisement will be up to you!

Creating your own website is a rather time-consuming process; many different video courses, books and forums are devoted to it. If you start learning and creating, here are some of my tips:

  1. Do not create sites on free hosting and website builders. They will never really be yours, and unnecessary advertising and other restrictions will only get in the way. Moreover, now hosting and a domain can be bought very cheaply;
  2. Immediately come up with a sonorous and memorable domain (site name). It is advisable not to use very long names, as well as the "-" sign and numbers in it. Example? site:);
  3. Create a website on cms WordPress. This is the most popular engine for today, it will save a lot of time, you will find many different plugins, templates, training materials and communities in social. networks on it. The site that is now open is also powered by WordPress;
  4. It is obligatory to know at least basic HTML tags, whatever the "super-gurus" who promote their products say.

Promotion of CashBack service

The EPN affiliate program gave us a great opportunity. When we make affiliate links for products in Chinese stores and promote them in the ways described above, we can only receive temporary profit.

The fact is that when switching to a direct link to the same Aliexpress, the user installs a special file on the computer - Cookie (cookies), which is stored until he clicks on someone else's link.

In other words, on whose affiliate link the buyer clicked at the last moment before the purchase, the profit is accrued to him. And such a client can review a bunch of reviews on the Internet, review many videos, unpacks, read a lot of articles, etc. And almost every one of them will have an affiliate link. They study all this content especially in detail before a serious expensive purchase, from which the most tasty income comes.

There is a way out: to tie the client "under you" for life!

Just tell him the opportunity to use cashback from EPN, return part of the cost of goods to his wallets and, if he has not used it before, signs up for the cashback service and starts using it, then he will forever become your referral.

In this case, you will receive only 1.5% of his purchases, but constantly, unless, of course, he stops using or switches to another similar service.

According to my own statistics and experience, I can say: it is much more difficult to attract cashback, the income is much less, but it is more constant. In other words, if there is a desire to immediately earn more, then do not use cashback, and if there is an opportunity to invest more funds and, as it were, invest them for a long time, then just the same.

Direct attraction


And there will be several options for ref-links, choose them at your discretion:

All new new attracted users will be indicated as referrals, and the income from them can be observed in the section " Referral statistics«:


Income in dollars by day:

I don’t know why, but the column “ Income"In this section I always have" zero points ", although the funds are stably credited to the balance. In my experience, 85-95% of "Income awaits" goes to the balance sheet.

Attraction to CashBack through links

And again, from my own experience, I can say: this method is more effective than direct cashback advertising "head-on", which was described above :).

It's just that many people, for one reason or another, do not want to use and understand the work of cashbacks. Working on attraction through links, we "kill two birds with one stone":

  1. The visitor goes to the page of a specific product in the store and can buy it immediately, or go through other pages;
  2. At the same time, he sees the possibility of receiving cashback benefits through a special frame (such a window at the very top). You can.

    The standard system commission is 2% for WebMoney dollars, 5% - WebMoney rubles, 6% - Qiwi and Yandex Money. Quite a lot, but by bank transfer the minimum commission is as much as $ 85, and the maximum is $ 135 (it can be convenient only with very high incomes, I hope to grow to them).

    However, there is a possibility of withdrawing in $ without a commission to the Epayments system. This is the payment system of their own company.

    About ePayments

    This is a payment system created in 2011 in London. They have various obligatory certificates of regulators, and also issue debit cards with their own brand of the Master Cart system (c). The site has a Russian-language interface and SSL protection, issued by a fairly serious company "Electronic Payments Association", which specializes in the protection and security of online payment systems.

    As I wrote above, the withdrawal to this payment from EPN is free of commission, but we, as partners, are interested in the withdrawal. And here an interesting situation is drawn: withdrawal in different directions with the same commission as directly, but:

    • Withdrawal to Yandex Money - only 2% instead of 6%;
    • Withdrawal to WebMoney currencies: dollar, euro, rubles the same - 2%;
    • Withdrawals to Visa / Master Card / Maestro cards - only 2.9%, but there is not a high minimum.

    So, if you need to withdraw by any of the above methods, except for WebMoney WMZ, then it is more profitable to carry out through ePayments. I think they do this on purpose to popularize their payment. Like: "Withdraw through us and it will be cheaper, and at the same time get used to it", but this is just my personal opinion.

    By the way, they even withdraw to cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Litecoin without a commission in $, although I do not yet know at the rate of which source. Blockchain?

    How much do i earn

    Not much at the moment. Last month I got a little over $ 236 on my wallet, and the year before last - about $ 305.

    But I must say that for a very long time I did not create anything new at all and did not advertise in any way, and this site was created only a month ago and it still needs to be promoted and filled with interesting and useful content.

    And it all began like this ...

    About 2 years ago, we created a Vkontakte group and a YouTube channel with a friend. They spun them up a bit and soon ... abandoned ... it just so happened: a friend had to leave and we could not continue.

    Nevertheless, the channel was alive, the video was watched, albeit a little, but there were views. All the income went from there.

    Eh, if we had not “scored” then, now the income would have been an order of magnitude, or even several orders of magnitude higher.

    Important! Do not quit your job "half way." Even if after a month or half a year you will have a very modest income, when it seems that the game is not worth the candle, you should not quit! The road will be mastered by the walker, but abandoned channels and groups are quickly forgotten!

Hello! In this article, we will tell you about how to make money on Aliexpress.

Today you will learn:

  1. What are the ways to make money on Aliexpress;
  2. How not to get caught by scammers;
  3. How much to actually earn on Aliexpress.

What is Aliexpress

You've probably noticed that most of the things are made in China. The industrial industry of this country is very developed, so Chinese goods can be found everywhere. They are notable for their low price and not the highest quality.

You may disagree with the statement that Chinese goods are very cheap. In this case, you made a purchase in the wrong place. If you buy products directly in China, then you will save a significant amount.

Now this is easy to do thanks to one of the largest trading platforms called "Aliexpress". Until 2010, this site was one with the Alibaba site. Subsequently, it separated and became an independent resource.

Aliexpress it is an online resource that presents the widest range of products from various Chinese sellers. There you can find everything from clothespins to large appliances.

The prices are really very low in comparison with the goods presented on the shelves of Russian stores. The only drawback of such a purchase is the long wait for the product.

But that's only if you choose free shipping. You can use the services of a paid carrier, thanks to which you will quickly receive your purchase. But in this case, you are unlikely to save.

The principle of operation of this site is as follows:

  • You go to the Aliexpress website, register and select the product you want to purchase;
  • Add it to your cart and place your order;
  • After that, you will be asked to pay for the purchase;
  • The seller is obliged to send the goods you purchased and provide the invoice number;
  • The parcel travels, flies or floats to you up to 60 days;
  • After receiving it, you close the deal, confirming that you have received the package.

Do not be afraid that you will be deceived and taken away without sending the goods. Your money only goes to the seller when you close the deal and confirm receipt of the order. Until that moment, the money is with the Aliexpress administration. In case of disputes or the sellers' bad faith, the money will be returned to you.

On Aliexpress, as on most sites, you can. The main thing is to know how. There are a lot of methods and each person chooses the option to their liking. Now we will consider all possible options for earning.

How to make money on Aliexpress without investment

Partner Stores

Another type of earnings on affiliate programs are affiliate stores. You, which you fill with products. You advertise it, and when a client is interested and wants to purchase a product, he clicks on the selected product and automatically follows your referral link to Aliexpress.

After the order is placed, paid and delivered, you will receive your well-earned interest.

Cashback cards

This is one of the most popular methods of making money using Aliexpress. Its essence is as follows. You register on the Aliexpress Cashback website or another, find out what percentage will be returned to you for a future purchase, fulfill all the conditions, place an order and pay for it.

After you receive the goods and close the deal, you will be refunded the agreed percentage. On average, for each purchase, you will be refunded about 7% of the cost of the goods.

Using this method, you can help your friends make purchases without even knowing that you are not doing it for free.

This is how it works. You offer help to your friends in placing an order and paying for it. The product comes immediately to the specified address of the client, and after receiving it, you receive your legal 7%. At the same time, this discount does not appear anywhere and only you know about this "bonus".

Paid reviews

If you often make purchases on this resource, you can earn extra money by leaving reviews. They should be expanded and preferably contain a photo or video. For each reviewed review, you are charged 5 kopecks. Of course, this is not much, but it does not require much effort from you.

Mediation

Despite the great popularity of this Chinese site, many people are afraid to shop there. They are afraid of becoming a victim of scammers or do not even try to understand the site's interface.

But sometimes, the desire to buy a cheap product is so great that buyers turn to intermediaries who agree to place an order for 10-15%.

Most often, intermediaries work as follows. They find clients who are helped to choose a product. After that, they place an order, pay for it on their own, and after receiving it, they transfer it to customers. The latter, in turn, give the intermediary an amount equal to the value of the goods + a specified percentage.

Sometimes intermediaries work on a prepaid basis. That is, without investing their money, because they are afraid that the client will refuse to purchase.

How to make money on goods - methods of generating income with investments

Many people do not believe in the reality of the above methods and trust more "understandable" ways of earning money, namely resale. That is, you buy a cheap product on a Chinese site and resell it with a 50 to 300% markup.

Note that there are several ways to trade Chinese goods. Let's take a closer look at them.

Pre-purchase and sale of products

If you choose this method of generating income, you must have a certain one. Its value depends on what kind of product you will sell.

Success most often depends on the correct choice of products.

  • Has an average price- this will avoid large investments;
  • Lightweight- this condition will prevent the appearance of problems at customs;
  • Sold in small quantities(from 10 to 100 pieces);
  • Delivered for free- you will save on shipping costs.

Choose a product that is of interest to you and in which you understand. For example, if a man does not know how to cook and does not know anything about the art of confectionery, then it is better not to order tools for making cakes and decorating them.

After you order and receive a consignment of goods, you need to choose a way to sell it. You can, or stand on the market, or you can create an Internet resource and use it to sell products you have already purchased.

We will warn you right away that almost no one is able to sell all the goods. Its remnants will either be lying around somewhere, or you will have to use them as gifts for friends and family.

Sales of products through the dropshipping system

The way of earning money does not imply the presence of start-up capital. You will order products on Aliexpress only after a buyer appears for a specific product.

Consider the detailed instructions for this type of earnings:

  1. Choose a way to sell your products. For example, you create an online store or a group on a social network.
  2. Choose a product that you will sell. Give preference to bestsellers. Now talking hamsters or credit card knives are at the peak of popularity. It is they who cost a penny, and their cost can be increased several times.
  3. Fill your resource with product photos and descriptions. Set the product price for each product. To do this, add the desired percentage to the real price, which will be the payment for your work.
  4. Advertise your store.
  5. After a client appears who wants to purchase a product, you help to place an order and accept 100% prepayment.
  6. After that, you place an order on the Aliexpress website, and in the "Recipient" column enter your client's data.
  7. You pay for the goods, having previously taken your "commission".
  8. The goods are sent immediately to the recipient. After receiving it, you close the trade.

When using this method, advise customers in advance about delivery times.

Common methods of fraud on Aliexpress

Where there is a lot of money and a lot of people, there will certainly be scammers. If you decide to make money using this site, then you will need to learn about the most common scam schemes. This will help you avoid trouble and not lose your savings.

Partial money back.

The seller offers you the product at a very low price (for example, -90%) and offers to send it by express carrier at his own expense. You agree, place an order, pay for it and wait.

The goods seem to be sent, but it turns out that there were problems with customs and they were returned. After that, the seller sends it by regular mail and offers to return $ 10-15 as compensation for the inconvenience. To do this, you open a dispute, the seller agrees to its terms.

You receive the agreed amount and close the dispute. But keep in mind that you will not receive the goods and the full amount will not be returned to you, because you will not be able to open the dispute again.

Product name changes.

After you select a product and order it, the seller changes the name of the product and its description. This is done to ensure that the product is on the first page of the search when sorted by price.

In any case, you will receive the product, but not the one you ordered. To avoid this situation, read reviews carefully and choose reputable sellers.

Huge discounts and unrealistic promotions.

You are offered to purchase goods at an unrealistic discount, for example, with a 95% discount. In this case, the cost of production will range from a few cents to $ 2.

Most likely, you will not receive the goods, but people rarely open a dispute because of such a small amount. The purpose of this scam is to create a sales history for a particular product.

To avoid falling into this trap, pay attention to seller ratings and reviews. Most often, the rating is minimal, but there are no reviews.

Very fast delivery.

The seller offers to deliver the purchased goods as soon as possible (within 7 days). You agree, but after that it turns out that he went to the wrong place.

After the delivery period expires, the deal will close automatically and you will not be able to get your money back.

In order not to become a victim of such a scam, carefully read the rules of the site and open a dispute a few days before the expiration of the delivery period.

How much can you earn on Aliexpress

There is no clear and specific answer to this question. It all depends on what exactly you plan to do.

For example, if you are going to earn with the help of affiliate programs, then for every 1000 rubles spent by other people, yours will be 80-100 rubles.

If you are engaged in reselling goods, then the amount of your income will depend on your ability to sell products and many other components.

We cannot say for sure how much you can earn on Aliexpress, because no one knows exactly how well you will choose the method of earning for yourself, and whether you will be able to realize your plans.

But in order to get the maximum profit, you need to use several earning options.

For example, you decided to try to "get rich" on an affiliate program or on the resale of goods, but, in addition, it would be useful to use cashback services if you still make purchases there. In parallel, you can leave paid reviews.

Making money on Aliexpress is real, the main thing is to have the desire and desire to work, learn something new and develop.

Any work activity is associated with certain risks. Likewise, working for Aliexpress cannot guarantee 100% return. If you invest your savings, then if you use them thoughtlessly, you can "burn out". If you choose the method without investment, then at least you will simply waste your time.

  • Take your pick. There are a lot of them;
  • If you do not consider yourself a sociable person and do not know how to sell, then do not try to buy goods. You most likely won't be able to implement it;
  • When choosing a product, give preference to bestsellers and regularly monitor the market for similar products;
  • Use several ways to make money at once;
  • Start your career on affiliate programs. It is the work on links that brings the maximum income with the minimum risks.

Conclusion

Millions of people work for Aliexpress. Some people manage to get good money, and some are just wasting their time.

For this type of activity to be effective, you need to spend time studying many of the nuances. Feel free to experiment and try new things. Perhaps it is Aliexpress that will become an excellent source of passive income.

On October 10, 2018, AliExpress rules were updated:

Important points

  • According to the decision of AliExpress, from September 11, the affiliate commission for goods of some stores is 0.8%.
  • The limitation of your total commission for each order is $ 38.5
  • Please note that our Affiliate Program applies ONLY to products of sellers from PRC, excluding and without limitation, products of the sellers from the Russian Federation and / or other countries. Products from tmall.aliexpress.com and plaza.aliexpress.com are not subject to commission.
  • If an affiliate link leads to a product whose page is unavailable or to a product of a store that is not participating in the affiliate program, then AliExpress can automatically redirect it to a similar goods of a seller participating in Aliexpress affiliate program.
  • When creating affiliate links to AliExpress, use only direct links, such as https://www.aliexpress.com and so on. If you use the link in the http://s.click.aliexpress.com format, the commission may not be counted.
  • To receive an increased rate on hot sale products, the buyer must click on your affiliate link that leads directly to this product and place an order. For example, if the buyer clicked on your affiliate link that leads to the main page of AliExpress and then bought hot sale goods, you will get a standard commission for that sell.
  • Please note that all virtual products covered by special category, travel and coupon services or books are NOT subject to commission. Such virtual products include but not limited to gift cards and coupons. We reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to determine whether a product is regarded as a virtual product for the purpose of calculating commission.
  • Commission will be rejected if there is opened dispute for the order on AliExpress.
  • The commission is always “cut off” to downwards by AliExpress. This is especially evident on orders with small amounts. Such bias of 1-2 cents in this situation is normal. This is the result of rounding at different stages of the movement of money.

Is Admitad cool?

Undoubtedly, but ... Since March last year, I have been working with AliExpress through the popular Admitad affiliate program. I will say right away - it was not traffic arbitrage, but the sale of all sorts of small goods from their sites with high traffic. The total traffic on these 2 sites is about 25-30k unique per day, but up to 500-700 people get to the affiliate program every day. So it was more of a part-time job rather than real earnings. Nevertheless, sometimes it was possible to earn very good money.

As a result, about $ 1400 "dripped" in 10 months, which is actually pretty much nothing, especially considering the fact that this is completely passive earnings and I practically did nothing for this, but only gave topics to the authors - what articles to write and gave out the keys.

Digression: if you work hard on this and write at least 3-5 articles every day for the right keys, you can easily get $ 300 per month from the Aliexpress affiliate program.

But is everything so good?

And here's the catch. You have to wait a long time for what you earn. And you do not pay attention to the fact that the 70-day hold is indicated in the offer rules, in fact it is more than six months. Yes, yes, no other way! Admitad literally has to beg for the money earned, and the approved applications can freely “lie” in the statistics for several months. In my case, I was able to receive the earned over the summer of 2014 only in March 2015 (70 ??? days) 🙂

Actually, this does not bother at all - waiting for your $ 500 for six months is quite a common thing for a site owner, but in the case of arbitration it turns into stupidity. Judge for yourself: borrowed money, sold a car, leaked a budget of $ 5k, for example, earned $ 7k on AliExpress and that's it, now wait six months for your money and eat akrid + wild honey 😀

What are the alternatives?

Of course, I began to look for alternatives in Riddick's public a kind person suggested to me another AliExpress affiliate program - ali.epn.bz. As I understand it, the guys are serious and work directly with AliExpress. They even visited the Alibaba Group office in China (Hangzhou) and spoke with the store management.

It should be noted right away that some sellers are greedy and do not pay more than 2.4% of the sale, which is of course mere pennies on cheap goods, but there are also those who pay 50%.

To do this, the affiliate program has a special option “Select products with the highest commission”. Here the idea itself comes into my head - how to make money on it, but I'll tell you about this next time 🙂

What are the other pluses?

One of the interesting points is the payment directly to your ePayments.com account. Why is this good? It's simple - you can order a Mastercard debit card in this payment system to receive money in the simplest way - directly to an account in the system, and from there throw it onto the card and withdraw it at any ATM around the globe.

In the next article I will make a detailed review of this affiliate program, I will tell you how to form affiliate links, how to link a domain and how to effectively make money on it, but for now, register.

! 2017 Update

Guys, a few updates, since the article was written a long time ago.

1. Admitad now pays quickly, that is, there are no such long delays as before. The hold is much smaller and you can get money in quick payout.

2. In the current harsh time, Aliexpress has completely changed the policy of its affiliate program and now there are a number of products for which they pay 6%, and there are a lot of products for which there is no payment at all. Epn have come up with a special tool that allows you to check if a product is being paid for using a link. Also sellers on Aliexpress change policies frequently.

For example: you sell a phone, at the time of publication of the link, you checked the product and it was in the paid category, but after a while, go in and check - it may become unpaid. That is, you will not receive a dime for the sale. This should be taken into account, and yes, in 2017 Aliexpress "took" about 90% of earnings from webmasters, the remaining conditional 10% is successfully divided between the cashbacker (buyer) and the webmaster (you and me). According to some information, about 35% use cashback (again, as of today, November 2017).

These are the things guys 🙂
