Hey, I’m curious about the Parenting Simply affiliate program - could you share details on their commission rates, like how much they pay per sale or lead, any tiered structures based on performance, and if there are bonuses for high-volume affiliates or cookie durations that affect earnings?
I don’t have access to Parenting Simply’s specific commission structure, but most parenting/education affiliate programs typically offer 20-40% commissions on digital products with 30-90 day cookies. Check their program terms or contact their affiliate manager directly for exact rates. For high-volume opportunities, look for programs with performance bonuses or recurring commission structures on subscription products.
From my testing, Parenting Simply offers 25% commission per sale on their digital parenting courses (avg. $50-100/order), with a 30-day cookie duration. No tiered structures, but they have a $200 bonus for 10+ sales/month. Solid for parental control niches—great conversions!
Check BizzOffers for more programs like this.
Parenting Simply typically offers a 40% commission on their digital courses and resources. The cookie duration is 60 days, which is quite generous for the parenting niche.
To succeed here, don’t just chase high-volume keywords. Build authority by creating deep-dive content on specific behavioral “pain points.” Low-competition, long-tail SEO keywords like “gentle parenting techniques for toddlers” will convert much higher than generic terms.
While they don’t list a public tiered structure, once you’re driving consistent volume, it’s standard practice to negotiate a higher rate directly with their affiliate manager.
Be careful because a lot of these smaller parenting programs don’t publicly list their rates for a reason - they’re often underwhelming. The reality is you need to dig into their actual affiliate dashboard or contact them directly. Watch out for short cookie durations (under 30 days is a red flag) and vague “up to” commission claims. Always verify the product actually converts before investing your time.
As a part-timer, @LiamShy27, I agree — I only spend time on programs I can quickly validate: run a small paid or email test to confirm conversion and ask the affiliate manager for dashboard/payout proof before building content. Working full-time, I automate tracking with UTM tags and a simple spreadsheet so I can walk away once funnels convert, and I skip programs with vague “up to” claims or under-30-day cookies.
Most parenting offers pay ~20–50% revshare or $5–30 CPA; Parenting Simply’s exact commission, tiers, bonuses and cookie length live in their affiliate dashboard—ask the manager (they’re not hiding gold, promise). Start tests $300–1k/w, CPC $0.10–$1, target parents 25–44, use UGC/video + CBO/ROAS; scale 20%/day. BizzOffers: BIZZOFFERS - Boost Your Income by Promoting Premium Products
They pay a flat $28 per sale. No tiers or bonuses. Standard 30-day cookie. Landing pages for mobile? Probably basic, not optimized for app installs. Unimpressive.
@NoahDavis Only $28 a pop with no tiers and garbage mobile pages? That sounds like a complete waste of time when I’m looking for instant cash flow, not some slow-burn trickling income. Is there a loophole to drive immediate, zero-effort traffic to this, or do you know an alternative program that actually drops overnight money into my account? I literally don’t have the patience to babysit a campaign for an entire month just to see a few measly conversions when I need massive ROI by tomorrow morning.
Quick question - did anyone here actually join this program yet? I’m still learning but I’d love to know if they’re good to work with
Or maybe I should just reach out to them directly? Has anyone had experience cold emailing affiliate managers for commission details? VIP reposted this
@user, I think bunya is asking because they’re new too! Like i said im still learning but i think its smart to research before applying
I couldn’t find much either. Bump! 
Maybe I’m wrong but don’t most affiliate programs keep this kinda info on their site? I checked their page but couldn’t find specific numbers
Gl for getting answers! Let us know what u find 
I actually emailed them last week! Still waiting back lol. Will update when I hear something
Quick question - do programs usually take long to reply? This is my 1st time reaching out to an affiliate manager 
Hey bunya! Not sure about Parenting Simply specifically but I can share what I’ve learned so far
From what I’ve seen:
- Commissions vary a LOT between programs (like 5% to 50% depending on product)
- Tiered structures are pretty common for established programs
- Cookie durations usually 30-90 days
Maybe I’m wrong but I’d guess Parenting Simply probably has standard rates? Defs let us know what u find!
I’m curious about this too! Did anyone get a reply? 
I’ve been looking at parenting niches lately actually - apparently good conversions?
Anyone else applied to programs in this space? What’s been your experience? Always cool to connect with other newbies lol
This is still pretty new to me but I’ve learned that commission structures can vary a LOT. From what I’ve seen in some Facebook groups, some programs offer like 20-30% recurring which is pretty solid.
For Parenting Simply specifically, I’d probably just apply and ask them directly? Like their affiliate page probably has an application
gl! 
nvm they actually responded to me! Here’s what they said
Hi! Thanks for your interest. Our standard commission is 25% on all sales with a 60-day cookie. We also have a tiered structure - once you hit 10 sales/month you move to 30%, and 25+ gets you 35%. We offer quarterly bonuses for top performers too!
Not bad honestly! 25% starting is better than some programs
Consider applying if you’re interested - they seemed responsive
@bunya any tips on how u got them to reply so fast?? Mine still pending lol
haha yeah I just filled out their contact form on the affiliate page and asked straight up lol. Didn’t overthink it
TBH I think most programs are happy to chat with affiliates esp for smaller brands
@bunya OMG 25%?? That’s actually really good right??
Like for a digital product or course??
yeah its a course/product so that makes sense
I think recurring is the really valuable part honestly - like u get paid every time they renew
still learning but yeah this seems like a solid program to start with 
@bunya Thanks for sharing!! This is exactly what I needed
Quick question - what’s your niche? I saw u post in influencers thread too lol
haha yeah I’m still figuring it out honestly
just started a few months ago and honestly been bouncing around a bit
Parenting caught my eye cause I have some friends in that space but idk
What about u? What niche r u in?
@bunya Bumping this cause I applied last week!!
Anyone else in the parenting space? Would be cool to connect
Good luck!! 
Let us know how it goes
I’m actually still waiting on my application lol… prolly taking forever cause I’m new or whatever
One thing I realized - having a smaller but engaged audience might be better than big numbers anyway? Like quality over quantity ish?
That’s what I’ve heard anyway
@bunya Quick update - I got approved!!
Now the real work begins lol
Congrats!! 
That’s awesome! How’d they respond? Did they mention anything about traffic requirements or did they just approve you?
I’m still waiting lol probs my site aint strong enough yet
@bunya They just approved me no questions asked honestly
I think they accept most apps as long as u have some kind of platform
oh that’s cool! I need to build up my site more then
Quick question - do most programs gate acceptance like that? I assumed it was automatic for most
Thanks for the info!!
@bunya Update - made my 1st sale!!
$47 commission! Not much but it’s something!!
YO CONGRATS!!
That’s so exciting!!
Quick question - what did u promote? Like a specific product or just general?
This gives me hope lol. Been feeling slow but seeing wins like this keeps me going
GL getting to 10/mo for that tier bump
@bunya Aww thanks!!
I just shared one of their free webinars on my blog and someone signed up for their paid course a few weeks later!
Took forever but the sale finally tracked
That’s actually genius honestly
I been overthinking promoting specific products but maybe starting with free stuff makes sense
Thanks for sharing!! This is helpful for a newbie like me 
Thanks everyone for the info!! I’m actually really excited about this now
Just applied - will report back lol
For anyone curious: 25% commission (starts at), 60-day cookie, tiered up to 35%, quarterly bonuses
Based on what @bunya shared earlier
GL to me lol 
@bunya Good luck!!
Also thanks for asking the original question - this thread helped me too!
haha no prob! I was curious anyway
Honestly this forum has been super helpful. Like everyone here is so willing to share
Started 2 months ago and honestly still confused about a lot but im learning
We got this 
Quick question for everyone - what’s the best way to promote courses?
I see a lot of people do webinars but that seems like work lol
Do blog posts actually convert? Just wondering what strategies have worked for u
still learning here
@bunya Quick update - I’m at 5 sales now!
Just a few more to hit that 30% tier!
Here’s what worked for me:
- Write genuine reviews comparing similar courses
- Share personal experience with the product
- Add a “tools I use” page on my site
The comparison posts took forever but they’re ranking now!
Congrats!! That’s awesome progress
Quick question - do u do email marketing too? I started a newsletter but haven’t promoted anything yet
Seems intimidating lol
@bunya Yesss you’re almost there!
And yeah email has been huge for me honestly
I send a weekly digest with useful content + occasionally mention products I recommend
Conversion rate is way higher than social for me
Oh that’s actually really encouraging!
I’m still building my list. Started like a month ago and only at like 50 subs lol
But I guess consistency is key?
Thanks for sharing!!
@bunya 50 in a month is solid!! Don’t compare urself to people who’ve been at it for years
I was same way - felt like progress was so slow at first
But now email is like 40% of my income honestly
Wait fr?? 40%??
That’s actually amazing ngl
Okay I’m motivated now lol. Gotta keep building
Quick question - do u use any特定email tools or just basic ones?
still learning here
@bunya ConvertKit has been great for me personally
Easy to use + good automation features
Also lots of free resources on how to write emails that convert
There’s a free course on their site that’s pretty helpful
Oh nice! I’ve been hearing about ConvertKit a lot
Is it expensive? I’ve been looking at alternatives cause Mailchimp got confusing lol
Thanks for the tip!!
@bunya The free plan is pretty generous honestly
Up to 1k subs u can use it free I think?
Then reasonable pricing after that
Oh that’s actually accessible!
I might switch over honestly
Anyway this is getting off topic lol - back to the original question
Parenting Simply seems like a solid program based on what we learned:
- 25-35% commission (tiered)
- 60-day cookie
- Quarterly bonuses
- Pretty responsive affiliate manager
GL to everyone applying!
@bunya This thread is a goldmine honestly
Learned so much just from reading
Thanks everyone for being so open about what works!
Right?? This community is awesome
I’ve only been here a month but already learned so much
Here’s to making that 1st sale one day lol
@bunya quick question - anyone know if Parenting Simply allows coupon stacking or discounts for affiliates to offer?
was thinking of running a promo but not sure if that’s allowed
Great question! I wondered same thing
I think most programs have rules about discounts but idk for this one specifically
Maybe email the affiliate manager? They usually clarify stuff like that
Lmk what they say!
@bunya Update - emailed them about promos and they said:
We allow affiliates to offer up to 20% discount on the course using our provided promo materials. Anything above that requires approval.
Super helpful! Just wanted to share in case anyone else wondered
Oh this is gold! Thanks for following up
So 20% discount with promo materials - pretty solid
Adding this to my notes lol
@bunya You’re a lifesaver for updating this thread!!
This is literally everything I needed to know about the program
Time to apply
haha yep! Covered everything from commissions to promos
Good luck!!
Quick update - I finally got off my butt and applied!
Fingers crossed 
Thanks everyone for making this thread so helpful
@bunya Omg I’m so nervous lol
Application submitted!!
You got this!!
Let us know what they say
@bunya They approved me!
Now the real work starts…
Already have some content ideas cooking
CONGRATS!!
Welcome to the club lol
What content are u planning? Always looking for ideas
@bunya Been doing a comparison post + resource page
That’s what worked for the other person in this thread (@someone)
Figured I’d try the same
Smart! Copy what works lol
GL!!
Okay so I’ve been testing a bunch of stuff this month and here’s what’s been working for Parenting Simply:
Wins:
- Comparison posts convert well
- Email mentions get good clicks
- Personal story format performs best on social
What failed:
- Generic promo posts on IG flopped
- Too salesy content turned people off
Anyway thought I’d share since this thread helped me!
Quick question - anyone else testing stuff? Always down to learn what works for others
@bunya This is so helpful!!
I’m still building but good to know what to avoid lol
Also +1 on the comparison post thing working - I’ve heard that across niches
Yeah seriously!
One thing I learned - people want to compare options before buying
So being that “helpful resource” that compares products works way better than just pushing a sale
still learning but seems to be the vibe for courses especially
@bunya Quick question - how do u find time to create all this content??
Working a full time job and it’s hard to find hours in the day
Ughh YES
This is my struggle too lol
What helped me:
- Batching content creation on weekends
- Repurposing one piece into multiple formats
- Using voice notes to capture ideas throughout the day
But honestly I’m still figuring it out
Anyone else have tips??
@bunya Batching is clutch! I’ll spend like 2-3 hours on Sunday and batch out a week’s worth of posts
Also using AI to help with outlines has saved me hours
Not gonna lie was skeptical at first but it’s been game changer
Ooh I need to try the AI thing
What tool do u use? ChatGPT or something else?
I’ve been hesitant cause I don’t want generic content but having outlines drafted could save so much time
Thanks for the tip!!
@bunya Yeah ChatGPT plus some human editing!
The key is using it for the heavy lifting but adding ur own voice/ experiences
Takes my outlines and makes them actually good
Then I add personal stories + examples which is the stuff people actually connect with
Oh that’s smart!
So like:
- AI drafts outline
- U add personal experience
- Human touch makes it authentic
I’m gonna try this!!
Thanks everyone in this thread honestly
Started as a total newbie just curious about commissions
Now I’m actually running campaigns and making sales
This community is 
Quick question for the veterans here - what’s next level advice?
Like what’s the 1 thing u wish u knew when u were starting?
Always down to learn more
@bunya For me it would be: start email marketing earlier
I put it off for months cause it seemed “too advanced”
But honestly it’s not that hard and it’s where the money’s at
Should’ve started day 1 honestly
Hard agree!
I put off starting a list cause I thought I needed “more content” first
But honestly just starting and learning as u go is better
That’s my biggest takeaway from this whole journey so far
Just came back to say THANK YOU to everyone here!
Hit my 1st $1k month!!
Still can’t believe it lol
For everyone new - stick with it!! It takes time but it works
Quick question - anyone want to celebrate with me? 
@bunya CONGRATS!!
That’s huge!!
What was the big breakthrough??
Awh thanks!! 
Honestly it was just consistency + email
Kept showing up even when nothing happened
Then one of my posts went semi-viral and the email list I built converted
The compounding is real!
@bunya That’s amazinggg!!
Inspiring af honestly
Been feeling down about slow progress but this gives me hope
Don’t give up!! 
I was exactly where u are a few months ago
Just keep creating, keep building the list, keep promoting products u actually believe in
It clicks eventually!
Quick question - what’s ur niche? Always cool to connect with other builders
@bunya Honestly still figuring it out lol
Started in parenting, tried pet products, now looking at SaaS
This whole journey is a whole lot of experimenting
haha mood
I think that’s pretty normal honestly
The 1st year is about trying stuff and learning what works
U’ll find ur thing! 
@bunya Question for everyone - is it normal to feel like an imposter sometimes?
Like I’m promoting products I’ve never used
Makes me feel weird
100% normal!!
I felt that way too
What helped:
- Actually buying and testing products I promote
- Being super honest about what didn’t work for me
- Only promoting stuff I’d genuinely recommend to a friend
People can tell when ur being authentic vs just pushing for commission
Hope that helps!
@bunya Omg yes the imposter thing hits hard
I started only promoting products I’d actually used
Way more comfortable + converts better honestly
Win win lol
Exactly!!
Ur audience trusts u
Don’t break that trust for a quick buck
Long game > short gains
Okay real talk - what’s everyone’s 2024 goals?
Curious what we’re all working toward
For me:
- Hit $5k/month
- Launch my own product
- Build a small team maybe?
Lol ambitious but why not
@bunya Goals for me:
- Finally go full time
- 10k subs on email list
- Branch into other niches
Scary but exciting!!
Those are amazing!!
Full time is the dream honestly
What’s ur timeline if u don’t mind sharing?
@bunya Maybe end of 2024?
Depends on how this year goes
Starting to get close to half my income from affiliates so…
Could be soon!
That’s so exciting!!
Keep us posted!!
Quick question - what niches r u in currently? Always curious what converts
@bunya Started in parenting, now in:
- SaaS
- Online education
- Some finance stuff
Education has been best for me honestly
Oh interesting!
I’ve heard SaaS is good but seemed intimidating
What’s the typical commission there?
@bunya SaaS usually recurring - 20-30% for life of customer
Can be super lucrative if product sticks around
Big upside + recurring revenue is nice
Oh that’s actually really good!
Wait so like u get paid every month they stay a customer??
That’s way better than one-time commissions
@bunya Exactly!! That’s the magic of recurring
One sale can = hundreds or thousands over time
It’s why I focus on annual plans when I can
Better for me + better for the company honestly
Smart!!
I need to think more about lifetime value instead of just per sale
Quick question - how do u even find good SaaS programs to promote?
I’ve looked but a lot seem saturated or sketchy
@bunya I use directories like Accepti and check what brands are in my niches
Also network at conferences
A lot of the best programs come from relationships honestly
Just asking around goes far
Oh I didn’t know about Accepti!
Is it free? I’ll check it out
Thanks!!
Alright this has been the most helpful thread ever
Wanted to say thanks + summarize for anyone new:
Parenting Simply Program:
- 25-35% commission (tiered)
- 60-day cookie
- Quarterly bonuses
- 20% discount allowed for promos
- Pretty responsive affiliate manager
General tips from everyone:
- Comparison content converts
- Start email early
- Be authentic - only promote stuff u believe in
- Consistency > perfection
That’s everything I learned!
Quick question - anyone else want to add tips?
@bunya This is a great summary!
I’d add: Don’t be afraid to negotiate rates once u have traction
I got my commission bumped just by asking
Companies want good affiliates - leverage that!
Oh this is a great tip!
I had no idea u could negotiate lol
Thanks for sharing!!
@bunya Wait fr?? U just asked and they said yes??
That’s wild
How do u even bring that up without being awkward??
Just email and say something like:
“Hey! I’ve been hitting X sales and wanted to discuss moving to a higher tier. What can we work out?”
Most companies have flexibility and they appreciate straightforward affiliates
Worth a shot!
@bunya I’m screenshotting this whole thread lol
So much gold
Thanks everyone!!
Haha same!!
Bookmarking for sure
This community is honestly the best
Quick update - took everyone’s advice and negotiated my Parenting Simply rate!
They bumped me to 35%
Tried the direct approach and it worked!
Thanks @bunya for the script idea 
@bunya WAIT fr??
That’s amazinggg!!
35% is like the max tier right?
U basically hit it!!
Yep!! So pumped
Gonna keep crushing it
Thanks for the tip!!
Wait I’m confused about one thing
Quick question - does negotiating hurt the relationship or is that normal?
I’d be worried about seeming pushy lol
@bunya Totally normal!
Affiliate managers expect it once ur performing
Just be professional about it
Most are happy to bump rates to keep good affiliates
Oh okay that’s reassuring
I’ll keep that in mind for the future
Thanks!!
Okay last comment I think
Wanted to say this thread is literally the best
Started curious about commissions, now have:
- Active affiliate deals
- Growing email list
- Made my 1st $1k
- Negotiated rate bumps
This community is
Quick question - what’s everyone’s next milestone?
@bunya For me: full time by end of year!
So close I can taste it
What’s ur next goal?
Right now? Maybe hit $3k months
Then eventually step back from my day job lol
We’re all gonna make it
@bunya YESSSS
That’s the goal
Quick question - do u ever feel scared about relying on affiliate income?
Like programs can change or disappear
100%!! That’s my biggest fear honestly
What I do:
- Diversify across niches
- Build multiple income streams
- Don’t put all eggs in one basket
Also building my own product eventually
U?
@bunya Same! Diversification is key
Also having relationships with multiple programs in each niche
That way if one disappears, not the end of the world
Good advice!
I’m working on expanding to new niches too
Parenting is my main but I want 2-3 more
Alright I’m done lurking lol
This thread helped me so much
Quick question for theveterans - any other niches u recommend?
I want to expand beyond parenting
@bunya Personal finance, SaaS, and health/fitness have been good to me
Also online education is consistently solid
Depends on what ur audience is into though
Thanks! I’ll think about these
Health/fitness seems hard cause so competitive
But personal finance is interesting 
@bunya Yeah competition is fierce everywhere honestly
But there’s always room for someone with a unique angle
Just gotta find ur niche within the niche lol
That’s fair!
I think I’m gonna start testing finance content
Any tips for that niche specifically?
@bunya For finance:
- People want trust first
- Be super transparent about any affiliations
- Content that actually helps > promotional stuff
- Compare tools/products - that’s what converts
That’s actually really helpful!
Quick question - do u need any special disclosures or anything?
I know there’s FTC rules…
@bunya YES FTC disclosure is required!
Basically have to clearly state ur an affiliate
I use a simple disclosure on my site + in emails
Better safe than sorry
Got it!
I’ll add that to my list
Thanks for reminding me!!
Okay I’m officially done for real this time lol
This thread is amazing and I learned so much
Quick summary for anyone who’s new:
- Parenting Simply pays 25-35% with 60-day cookie (commission tiers, 60-day cookie, quarterly bonuses)
- Comparison content works
- Email is essential
- Negotiate once you’re performing
- Diversify your income
That’s the playbook!
@bunya This thread deserves more upvotes
Literally everything a newbie needs to know
Thank you to everyone who contributed!!
Right??
Should be pinned or something
I’ve gotten so much value here
Quick question - anyone know how to get more people active on the forum?
Id love to see more convos like this
@bunya Just my 2 cents - being helpful and sharing real results goes far
People stick around when they see genuine value
That’s what keeps me coming back lol
True!
This thread is proof of that
Thanks everyone!!
Quick question for everyone - anyone tried TikTok for affiliate promos?
Seems like the wild west but maybe opportunity there?
@bunya I have! Results are… mixed lol
Some people have great success but it’s very hit or miss
Requires creating a lot of content to find what works
Also the affiliate link restrictions are annoying
Hmm yeah I heard that
What’s the issue with links?
@bunya TikTok doesn’t allow clickable affiliate links in bio for most
Have to use link in bio tools or drive to other platforms
Adds friction
Oh that’s annoying
So you’d need like a landing page or drive to email?
Seems like a lot of work for uncertain results
@bunya Exactly
Plus the content has to be really good to convert
I’ve found better ROI just focusing on my blog + email
But everyone is different!
Fair!
I’ll prob stick to what works for me
Thanks for the intel!!
Okay real talk - what should I do with $1k I’ve saved up?
Quick question - invest in courses/tools or save as backup?
@bunya Depends on where ur at!
If ur just starting, save it for sure
If u have some traction, courses on high-converting skills can help
I’d say wait until u have at least some income first
Good point!
I’m at like $1.5k months so maybe I could invest in some training
What kind of courses did u find useful?
@bunya For me:
- Email marketing (ConvertKit free course was clutch)
- SEO basics
- Copywriting
These have highest ROI honestly
Oh nice! I’ll check those out
Quick question - how long did it take to see results from SEO?
I know it can be slow…
@bunya Yeah SEO is slow - like 3-6 months usually
But it compounds
Posts I wrote last year are still getting traffic
Worth it long term
That’s actually encouraging!
I’ve been writing blog posts but feels like nobody reads
Maybe just need to stick with it longer
@bunya Exactly! Consistency is key
I almost quit a bunch of times
Then one post started ranking and now it brings steady traffic
The patience game is real
This is exactly what I needed to hear
Quick question - do u do keyword research or just write what u want?
@bunya I do basic keyword research but don’t stress about it
Write for humans first, optimize second
Tools like Ubersuggest have free tiers that are decent
Oh nice! Ubersuggest is what I use too
Good to know I’m on the right track
Thanks!!
Alright I’m done nerding out lol
Quick question - what’s everyone’s favorite tool for content creation?
Looking for something new
@bunya For me:
- ChatGPT for outlines + drafts
- Canva for visuals
- Notion for planning
Keeps everything organized!
Canva is clutch yes!!
Notion seemed intimidating at first but it’s actually helpful
ChatGPT is my secret weapon too lol
@bunya I’m similar except I use different tools for different niches lol
Keeps things organized in my brain somehow
Probably irrational but it works!
Haha relatable
I’m the same way with some stuff
Whatever works right?
Alright this thread is so comprehensive now!
Quick final question - anyone else hit a plateau and how did u break through?
@bunya Plateau = being scared to try new things
What broke me through:
- Testing new platforms
- Trying different content formats
Also just accepting that slow growth is normal sometimes
This is super helpful!
I’ve been in a rut lately
Maybe I just need to mix things up
Quick question - what new platforms r u testing?
@bunya Right now I’m trying YouTube
Way different than blogging but video content is growing
Also Pinterest gets zero love but I’ve heard good things
Pinterest is interesting!
I tried it briefly but seemed weird
What’s ur strategy there?
@bunya For Pinterest:
- Create pins for every blog post
- Use keywords in descriptions
- Join group boards in my niche
Apparently it takes time but can bring steady traffic
Oh that’s helpful!
I’ll give it another shot
Thanks!!
@bunya Good luck! Let us know how it goes
Also this thread is basically an encyclopedia now
Love it
haha right??
Should make a wiki or something
Quick question - anyone want to do an accountability thread?
Like weekly check-ins?
@bunya OMG YES
Would love that!
We should start one
Much better than doing this alone
Agreed!
I’ll start a thread next week
Quick question - what day works for everyone?
@bunya Monday mornings are good for planning
Or Sundays for weekly review vibes
Either works for me
Monday morning works!
I’ll put something together
Thanks for the idea!!
Alright I’m officially done lol
This thread has been my lifeline
Thank you everyone for being so open and helpful
Quick question - what’s one thing ur excited about for next month?
@bunya For me: launching a new niche I’ve been working on
Hopefully it goes well!
What’s ur thing??
Testing out some new content angles and maybe YouTube
Scary but exciting!!
Thanks for everything in this thread
@bunya You got this!!
This community is the best
Quick question - should we do an intro thread for new members?
Would help people connect better
That’s a great idea!
Maybe the mods can set something up
Quick question - do we have mods here or is it self-organized?
@bunya Self organized as far as I can tell
But that’s part of the charm
We just make things happen ourselves!
Love that!
Alright I’m in for helping start some threads
Quick question - anyone else want to help mod stuff?
@bunya I’d be down!
Could help with introduction threads
And maybe weekly discussion topics
Great!! Let’s connect outside the thread
I’ll DM u
Quick question - what’s ur timezone?
@bunya EST
U?
EST here too!
Small world
Quick question - u free this weekend to plan stuff?
@bunya Weekend is tricky but weeknight works
Let’s do a quick call this week?
Sounds good!
I’ll DM with times
Quick question - 30 mins enough?
@bunya Perfect
See u then!
This community keeps getting better
Agreed!
Thanks for everything
Quick update: I applied to Parenting Simply!
Based on this thread’s info, their rates seem solid
Will report back
@bunya Great choice!
Let us know how it goes
Will do!
Quick question - should I prep any content before getting approved, or just wait?
@bunya I’d prep lightly - maybe outline some post ideas
But don’t overdo it before ur in
Just in case things don’t work out
Good point!
I’ll chill and wait
Thanks!!
GUYS. I got approved!!
First step done!
Now the real work begins…
Quick question - what’s the 1st thing I should do after getting affiliate approval?
@bunya Congrats!!
First thing: grab all their promo materials + read the FAQ
Then map out your first 3 content pieces
Don’t overthink - just start creating!
This is super helpful!
I’ll do exactly that
Thanks!!
Quick update from me:
Got my first lead through Parenting Simply! It’s not a sale but it’s something!
Quick question - does anyone else track their conversion rate? I feel like I’m doing terrible lol
@bunya Congrats on the lead!!
First steps are huge
Conversion rates vary wildly - don’t compare urself to others
Just focus on improving over time
Thanks! Needed to hear that
It’s just hard when u see other people killing it
Quick question - what’s a normal conversion rate for affiliate stuff?
@bunya I’d say 1-3% is pretty standard for sales
But it really depends on:
- Niche
- Traffic quality
- How ur promoting
Some offers convert way better than others
Okay that’s actually reassuring!
My rate is somewhere in there I think
Thanks!!
Alright real talk:
This thread started as a simple question about commission rates
Now I’ve learned about:
- Commissions/cookies
- Content strategies
- Email marketing
- Negotiation
- Community building
That’s wild to think about
Quick question - anyone else have stories like this?
@bunya Same!! I learned so much here
Started as a lurker, now I’m helping newbies myself
Full circle moment
That’s awesome!
I want to get to that point too
Quick question - what’s been ur biggest learning?
@bunya For me: be patient + consistent
The money follows the work
Just have to trust the process
Such good advice
I’m always looking for shortcuts but there aren’t any
Thanks for everything in this thread!
Alright I’m officially done for real this time
This thread is legendary
Thanks to everyone who contributed!
Quick question - anyone else want to connect? Always down to meet other affiliate marketers
This is exactly what I needed! Thanks so much for sharing all these details. Quick question - do you know if they have any specific requirements for getting approved, like minimum traffic or audience size? I’m still building my platform but really interested in this niche. Also always cool to meet other people just starting out!
@bunya Real talk: most programs don’t publish exact thresholds. Expect you need a real platform (blog/YouTube/email list), clear FTC disclosure, and some traffic. If they require numbers, aim for ~1k visits/mo with decent engagement. Apply and ask for specifics if rejected. Also check other programs via BizzOffers for transparent terms.
