The other weekend I opened my Instagram DMs and had yet another message from a follower saying they recommended my template shop to a fellow business owner and that they were a huge fan of my designs.
After smiling and thanking them for the referral, it struck me that it would be so amazing to start an affiliate program for Sugar Studios and let people earn money by recommending my Showit website templates, add-ons and Canva templates.
The Sugar Studios Affiliate Program was launched and is available for you to join today and start earning 40% commission on all sales you send my way.
Let’s walk through exactly what the program is and how you can get started now:
What Is Affiliate Marketing (And Why It Works)?
When you become a Sugar Studios affiliate, you earn money by referring sales to my website. Affiliate marketing is a passive way to earn extra income while helping your audience. It costs you nothing to sign up and all you have to do is share your referral link with your followers, if they purchase using your link – you get paid!
Affiliate marketing is a great option for business owners looking to boost their revenue without minimal work, it’s a win-win!
Here’s What Makes the Sugar Studios Affiliate Program Different
While not every business offers an affiliate program, some affiliate programs offer a low commission and you’re left to market their business on your own. Here’s what makes the Sugar Studios affiliate program better than most:
40% commission
Supportive marketing text to assist you
Supportive graphics you can use in your marketing
Monthly payouts
Monthly emails with ideas + tips to boost your affiliate income
Here’s What the Affiliate Payout Looks Like
Each time you send a sale my way, you’ll earn a (whopping) 40% commission on all sales.
Your potential earnings could look like anywhere from $10-$300+ per month depending on how many sales you bring in.
Here’s an earning example breakdown:
One website template sale = $62 commission
One Showit website + add-on bundle = $118 commission
3–5 referrals per month can create a meaningful recurring revenue stream
How You Make Money as a Sugar Studios Affiliate
Anyone can join the Sugar Studios Affiliate program, but you’ll have the most success if you have an audience who wants to create a website for their business or use Canva templates to help grow their business.
The affiliate program is ideal for:
Virtual Assistants & OBMs
Showit designers/brand designers
Social media managers & content creators
Pinterest managers + bloggers
Business coaches, photographers, and anyone with an audience interested in branding + websites
