If you have a blog or website and you purchase anything on the internet you can make money off your own purchases. It is pretty easy to do, it only take a little work and it can save / make you 100’s of dollars depending on how much you shop online.

First step is to sign up with an affiliate site, I have linked to a couple of them below:

Linkshare - LinkShare Corporation

Commission Junction - CJ.com

After signing up with one or more of these program you can go through their list of available stores that offer commissions on referral purchases and sign up to join their programs. Once approved you can then go through and place links on your site to stores you frequently shop at. Then instead of going straight to the store site, you would use the link from your blog or website to get to the site. Since you used the link from your site should get commission on your purchase.

In addition to your own purchases you might get lucky and someone else might use the links to make a purchase and you will get commission from their purchase also. I have made a separate shopping page for all the shops we frequent and some others that approved us.

If you don’t see your favorite stores when you signup for the above programs you can look on the bottom of the individual store sites for ” affilates ” or ” partner program ” links.  These will take you to their affiliate program page and you can sign up there.
