That’s why I often make “color me” links like “/EtsyEar” s o you can easy type it in!Īnd links are kind of tricky too. For example, if I link $15 earrings from a small Etsy shop, I make about 30 cents on the sale, which is paid by E tsy, not the shop. In general, any commission I make is pretty small and only works if you actually use my link. (You may follow some influencers that focus on all product-sharing or like-to-link-based apps) and if so, that’s ok! It’s just not my thing for fear that someone would feel bad if they can’t afford what I link, wear, or have!) PSA: You are so much more than the clothing you wear or things you! So, for me, any commission-based sales are just a bonus and not a core stream of income. My page isn’t sales-driven and it really isn’t my focus. ![]() Basically, when I link things I love, I can make a small commission on any ensuing sales, if that particular retailer participates. You know how some of your favorite shops pay their salespeople a low hourly wage and instead, they earn commissions on their sales for the day? Or how restaurant servers usually get paid small wages and actually live off their tips? Well, affiliate marketing works the same way. In addition, I feel like I can do a better job sharing them with you when I have the access that an ambassadorship provides.Īffiliates: Affiliate marketing = Commission-based sales. My goal is always to do more of these because it’s just more fun for me to get to know the brand deeply this way and to get to know the people behind it. Also, I can do so over multiple posts instead of just one post that you might miss if you’re taking a social media break (as you should sometimes)! It’s like agreeing to be in a long-term relationship with a brand instead of agreeing to hang out together just one weekend. I love these the most because I feel like I can really introduce you to a brand. Helping a brand to be more inclusive or to improve its products would be examples of how I work with a brand in an extended capacity! Sometimes this work is “behind the scenes” and I’m working with them internally on a number of issues or on a special project. In these cases, the brand and I are a really good fit. These are my fav! This is where I work with a brand in a longer-term capacity, usually a minimum of three posts over a two-month period. In addition, I have a few new products in the works that I can’t quite share with you yet! I honestly hate keeping secrets so I hope I can share soon! I have a co-brand at Rent The Runway that you can rent or buy, as well as my ColorMeMerch! – I designed a lipstick for Birch Box called Color Me Confident The process and payments vary depending on the collaboration but this is a great way to support me and get something cute in the process. This includes everything from co-brands like my collaboration with Rent The Runway, to my ColorMeMerch. ![]() This is how it sounds … I often create products that I can sell.

SHOP THE LOOK: Even from the inside, I often feel out of the loop, so I try to change that by spilling ALL m y secrets all the time □ Today let’s answer the age-old question: How do Influencers make Money?
