Could You Use an Extra $1500 per Month?
That may be a silly question, but seriously… could you use a little extra money every month? Would $1500 more a month allow you to have a little more financial freedom and begin to actually live your dream life instead of just wishing and hoping and dreaming?
What else could an extra $1500 per month do for you?
It could help you pay off debt much much faster! It could give you the ability to pay for your child to go to college.
And I know it could help with the current inflation situation we are all dealing with right now. Giving you more money to pay for rising gas and grocery prices.
Maybe you want a new car or have been saving for that special anniversary trip to Italy. An extra $1500 per mont could easily get you there.
But how can you make $1500 per month from home? There are lots of ways, but in this article I want to talk about one of the ways that I make the majority of my full time income per month. It's through an Affiliate Network called AvantLink.
Let's dive in….
What is AvantLink?
AvantLink is an affiliate network platform that partners merchants with affiliate marketers.
Affiliate Marketers can apply to promote a brand or product and earn commissions.
This is the basics of Affiliate Marketing… a way of making money by promoting other people's products and earning a commission every time someone purchases using your affiliate link.
An affiliate link is a unique link that tells the merchant that you are the one that sent the customer to them. That information is tracked and as a result you are paid a commission for the sale.
This is where AvantLink comes into play. It is a network of thousands of merchants that you can potentially partner with. You can quickly and easily affiliate with brands/merchants and have AvantLink handle the invoicing and payments for you.
They also have many unique tools that are high-converting and help you promote the various products.
- Custom Link Builder
- Ad Management
- Easy Link
- Product Link
- QR Code Builder
- Affiliate Link Encoder
- Deal of the Day
- Product Content Widget
- And Many More…
- Go to AvantLink
- Click “Apply Now” button in the upper right corner
- Click on “Publisher/Affiliate”
- Pick Your Country… USA, Canada, or Australia
- Choose either Traditional or Influencer (depending on how you will promote products)
- Fill in your information… name, country, email, website address*
- Click “Sign Up for AvantLink”
How to Partner With Specific Merchants
After signing up with AvantLink and being approved, you will want to start finding merchants and products to promote. This will all depend on your niche (a specific type of product).
For instance, if your niche is camping equipment you will want to search for merchants that sell camping related products. Simply go to your dashboard and click on “merchants” in the top bar. Then you will see a drop down menu where you can choose your category. In our example, we would choose “outdoor/recreation” from the list. Then click “get merchants” and this will bring up a list of available merchants to choose from.
Once you see the list of merchants in that category, you will notice a lot of information. You really only need to focus on the commission percentage and average sale amount. This will tell you if you want to apply to partner with them. Obviously a higher commission percentage means more money in your pocket.
In this example, we will go with Barebones. Just click on the name and it will take you to their merchant page where you can learn more about the company and even check out their website. At the bottom of the merchant page, you can apply to the program after you agree to their terms and conditions.
Some merchants approve you right away, but others may take a few days to get back with you. You can always check the status of an application on your dashboard.
How to Get Your Affiliate Link to a Product
Once you have been accepted by a merchant, you can start promoting their products on your very own website. Getting accepted by a merchant can happen immediately or it can take a few days. It all depends on the merchant. So be patient if you don't get approved right away.
In our example, we applied to the Barebones Company and got accepted. So now we need to find a product to promote and grab our affiliate link. To do this, we just need to go to the merchant page for Barebones and we can click on “ad campaigns” to get banner links, text links, and image links. This can also be found under the “Ad Tools” in the top menu bar.
So from the “Ad Tools” area you can easily create a custom link. First go find the product you want to promote from the merchant. I found this awesome vintage railroad lantern to promote on my camping website. All I had to do was copy the link to the page and plug it into the “Custom Link Builder.” This will give me my unique affiliate link that I can put on my website and send people to the lantern page to purchase.
Where to Put Your Affiliate Links
So now you have your unique affiliate link to a product, where are you going to put that link in order to get clicks and ultimately sales?
Well, you can place your links on your Instagram profile or stories. Or you could send them in an email to your list (email marketing). Or you could write an article or product review on your website and include the link within the article content.
By the way, all of this is called marketing… specifically “affiliate marketing.” There are many different strategies that can be employed when it comes to affiliate marketing.
I personally recommend learning about several of them and then picking one or two to start. Then once you have a firm grasp of how best to execute that strategy, you can start adding the other strategies one at a time. The key is to focus on one and dominate it before adding another.
A great place to learn how to do this is at one of the best affiliate marketing training platforms online… Wealthy Affiliate. This is an educational platform designed specifically for Affiliate Marketers. They have expert training and step-by-step courses on every single marketing strategy you can think of… everything from YouTube to Email Campaigns to Social Media Marketing.
The Wealthy Affiliate Platform is my number one recommendation for anyone wanting to make money with Affiliate Marketing. Feel free to check them out here!
So I choose to place most of my affiliate links within my own websites (I have several). I write product reviews for some, and I write general information articles for others. Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
Below is a picture of an article I wrote about the top RV kitchen accessories you must have. In that article I promoted several products, including the plates and bowls set from Barebones. My Affiliate link is embedded in that button that says “buy it here” under the picture.
So anytime someone comes to my website and reads this article, they click on that button to go and purchase those plates (or anything else on that website) then I will get a commission! Make sense?
How to Get Paid
So now it's time to get paid! AvantLink makes it so easy to get your commissions, which is one of the reasons I love using them.
Once you have some sales and some commissions in your account, you will want to set up your payment method and request a withdrawal.
You can choose to get paid through Direct Deposit, Wire Transfer, Paypal, or Hold Payments. And you can choose your payment threshold… the minimum is $25. You only have to set up your payment method once.
In conclusion, making money through affiliate marketing is achievable, but you want to learn the proper way to promote your affiliate links… this is key to overall success! It is worth the time and investment to get the education and training you need to go from making just a few cents here and there, to pulling in a real FULL-TIME INCOME.
Keep in mind also, that if you want to make $1500 per month, you will need to be promoting higher ticket items. For instance if you make $100 in commissions from a product, you need to make 15 “sales” in order to reach $1500. On the other hand, if you make $500 in commissions from a high ticket product, you only need to make 3 “sales” in order to reach your goal of $1500. That's the power of high ticket commissions.

Exactly… Avantlink and other affiliate networks are a great way to consolidate your efforts and have everything in one place.

Affiliate marketing is the ideal way to earn money online. Although I am an affiliate marketer and are a member of several other affiliate marketing networks, I have not come across Avantlink before. Reading this post shows how easy it is to join the Avantlink network, and find merchants to promote.
Thank you for introducing me to another affiliate marketing network where I have the possibility to increase my earnings. I will certainly be signing up with Avantlink.
I’ve been doing affiliate marketing for more than 3 years but the highest commission I received so far in one month was way below $100. I am beginning to think that this business might not be for me.
Thank you for sharing AvantLink Affiliate Network. Who does not want to make $1500 a month from affiliate commissions? But as much as it sounds very promising, I do have a few questions.
How much does it cost to join this network? How long before you (I mean you ☺) started making money through AvantLink? Can people affiliate marketers in Asia join? I live in the Philippines and I wonder if I am allowed to sign up for AvantLink. One last thing, is there a minimum amount of sale one needs to maintain to remain with AvantLink?
I am very interested to join this network of affiliate marketers so I hope you can answer my queries.
Thank you for your questions… let me try to address them one at a time.
First off, it does not cost anything to join the network. It is however recommended that you have a website or a social media presence.
Second, as far as when I saw my first commission come through on AvantLink, it was within 3 months. I had joined the network and then did nothing with it… but after I posted a few product reviews on my camping website, I started to see the income slowly flow in. The key is consistency and pumping out blog posts and reviews. Don’t expect to make money from just signing up.
As far as people in Asia being able to sign up, I don’t know for sure, but I believe it may only be available for people living in the US, Canada, and Australia. That might change in the future however.
Your final question about a minimum sale amount to stay in the network is a great one… from my experience, you do NOT have to have a minimum sale amount, but merchants that you are partnered with can un-affiliate with you if they don’t think you are bringing enough value to them.
I hope this helps! Thanks for the comment and the questions.
