Plenty of companies, such as Amazon Associates, offer affiliate marketing, which means that when you promote their products and a sale is made from your promotion, you get a cut! Plus, you don’t have to be an influencer, blogger or internet savvy to do it – you can simply promote some products you love to your friends, family and community.
But it isn’t just with Amazon, as My Fashion Life mentions “you can simply establish a connection with a certain company and promote their products or services with their unique link, and then you’ll receive a commission from the purchases.”

Sponsorships
If you have a blog or a social media following, you can partner up with brands to create content about their products. If you have a large following, companies might reach you with offers, however, if you are a smaller creator you can still get sponsorships, but you might have to contact companies yourself and pitch them your ideas.
Lylia Rose mentions that no matter the size of your audience, “If you have great engagement on your posts and people trust your recommendations then you have worth to a brand. Turn your social media addiction into a money maker!”
