How to Make Money: Affiliate Sales

Kayla Lords

Kayla Lords is a freelance sex writer, podcaster, blogger, all-around sex content creating human, and she really likes creating content. As a writer, she focuses on sex and kink primarily on BDSM and power exchange. She works with private clients to write their content and manage their social media, while also co-hosting two podcasts, running a YouTube channel, and managing multiple blogs. Let's just say, she stays busy and wants to keep it that way. Kayla is an international speaker and an award-winning sex blogger. She believes we are stronger together as a community than we are isolated and apart. We all deserve to get paid for the work we do, but until we understand our cumulative power, we'll all wonder if we're "the only one" doing this smutlancing thing.

    Affiliate sales are useful for getting a bit of pocket money but unless you have a massive following they’re unlikely to provide a steady or reliable source of income.

      I agree completely. I don’t include it in my budgeted income for that very reason, but I have seen definite growth over time that is only in part due to an increase in numbers and mostly about the connections we make with our followers — and the trust we establish with them when we make a recommendation. And right now, I’m good with affiliate sales paying for my caffeine addiction, lol.

    I just started my blog, 2 weeks old, and get 1000+ visitors a day. Do I just go to these websites for toys and such and use the contact form to try and get my foot in the door for affiliate marketing? How do you get started? Thanks!

    • Kayla Lords says:

      Many sex toy sites who offer affiliate programs will link to the information about their program on their site, usually in the footer. Look for sites that you’d like to work with — either popular ones like LoveHoney or Adam & Eve or sites you really like, and they should make that information readily available.
