How to Make Money With ShareASale (Now Awin) — A Complete Beginner’s Guide for 2026

Everything you need to know to sign up, find the right merchants, and earn your first affiliate commission — including what changed in 2025.

IMPORTANT:  IMPORTANT 2026 UPDATE: ShareASale officially closed on October 6, 2025. The platform has fully merged into its parent company, Awin. New affiliates now sign up directly at Awin.com. Everything that made ShareASale great — the merchant directory, the tools, the commission structure — is now available on Awin, with significantly more features. This guide covers both the history and the current Awin platform so you have the full picture.

Introduction: Can You Still Make Money With ShareASale in 2026?

If you’ve been Googling ‘ShareASale’ trying to figure out how to make money with affiliate marketing, you’re in the right place – but there’s one important thing to know before you start: ShareASale as a standalone platform no longer exists.

Image 1: How to Make Money With ShareASale (Now Awin) — Beginner’s Guide 2026

In October 2025, ShareASale completed its full merger into Awin, the global affiliate network that acquired ShareASale back in 2017. The name changed. The logo changed. The platform changed. But the opportunity didn’t.

Every merchant program, every affiliate relationship, and every commission structure that made ShareASale one of the most popular beginner-friendly affiliate networks in the world is now available through Awin — with better tools, better tracking, and a bigger global network on top.

So the answer to the question is yes: you can absolutely still make money through the platform that was ShareASale. You just do it on Awin now. And this guide will show you exactly how, step by step, starting from zero.

QUICK WIN:  You do not need a huge audience, expensive tools, or prior experience to start earning affiliate commissions. You need a website or content platform, a niche, and the willingness to produce genuinely helpful content. That’s it.

What Is Affiliate Marketing? (Start Here If You’re Brand New)

Before we get into the platform specifics, let’s make sure the foundation is solid.

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based income model where you earn a commission for referring customers to a company’s product or service. You don’t create the product, handle customer service, manage stock, or process payments. You simply connect people who need something with the company that sells it — and you get paid when they buy.

Image 2: How affiliate marketing works — the 6-step process from joining to earning

Here’s how the basic flow works:

1. You join an affiliate program (through a network like Awin/former ShareASale).
2. You receive a unique tracking link for a merchant’s product or service.
3. You include that link in your blog post, YouTube video, email newsletter, or social media content.
4. A visitor clicks your link and makes a purchase on the merchant’s website.
5. The sale is tracked back to your link. You earn a commission — typically a percentage of the sale.
6. The merchant pays Awin, who pays you. Simple.

The beauty of affiliate marketing is that your content keeps working for you long after you’ve published it. A blog post you write today can generate commissions for years if it continues to attract search traffic.

PRO TIP:  Affiliate marketing works best when you recommend products you genuinely believe in. Readers trust honest recommendations. Hard selling and spammy link placement consistently underperform compared to naturally integrated, helpful product mentions.

What Was ShareASale — And What Is Awin?

ShareASale: A Brief History

ShareASale was founded in 2000 by Brian Littleton in Chicago. Over two decades it became one of the most trusted and beginner-friendly affiliate networks in North America, known for:

Image 3: ShareASale officially merged into Awin in October 2025 — what changed and what stayed the same

• A large directory of small-to-medium merchants across almost every niche
• A straightforward, no-nonsense interface that beginners could navigate without a steep learning curve
• A high approval rate — many ShareASale merchants were willing to work with newer affiliates
• Reliable monthly payments and transparent reporting
• A strong reputation for not tolerating shady merchant or affiliate behaviour

At its peak, ShareASale had over 270,000 active affiliates and more than 20,000 merchant programs. In 2017, it was acquired by Awin — but continued operating independently under its own brand until the migration was completed in 2025.

Awin: What It Is Now

Awin (short for Affiliate Window) is one of the world’s largest affiliate marketing networks. It operates globally, connecting over 1 million publishers with more than 25,000 advertisers across 180+ countries. Awin is owned by Axel Springer, one of Europe’s largest media companies.

With the ShareASale merger complete, Awin now offers:

• 9,500+ advertisers (merchants) — including everything from the boutique brands ShareASale was known for, to global retailers
• 250,000+ active publishers (affiliates) — a significantly larger community
• Real-time tracking and flexible commission structures
• An integrated AI-powered assistant for campaign optimisation
• Advanced reporting dashboards with deeper performance insights
• Global reach — international merchants and multi-currency payments

PRO TIP:  If you already had a ShareASale account, your account, links, and merchant relationships were automatically migrated to Awin. Your tracking links continue to work without any changes needed.

Why Choose Awin (Formerly ShareASale) in 2026?

There are dozens of affiliate networks available in 2026. Here’s why Awin — particularly for beginners who found ShareASale appealing — remains one of the best starting points:

Reason	What It Means for You
Free to join as a publisher	There is no cost to sign up as an affiliate. You create an account, apply to merchant programs, and start earning. No subscription fee.
Massive merchant directory	9,500+ advertisers across every conceivable niche. Fashion, tech, home, finance, travel, software, health — whatever your content is about, there are relevant merchants.
Beginner accessible	Many merchants on the network accept new affiliates with smaller audiences. You don’t need 100,000 monthly visitors to get approved.
Reliable payments	Awin pays on a consistent monthly schedule. The minimum payout threshold is $20 for ACH/BACS transfers. Payments arrive on time.
Transparent reporting	The dashboard shows clicks, conversions, earnings, and EPC (earnings per click) in real time. You always know what’s working.
Strong compliance standards	Awin enforces content disclosure rules and quality standards. This keeps the network clean and merchant relationships trustworthy.
AI-powered tools	Awin’s new integrated AI assistant helps affiliates identify top-performing programs, optimise link placement, and spot trends — tools ShareASale never had.

Step 1: Sign Up for Awin as a Publisher

The first step is creating your Awin account. Here’s exactly how to do it:

• Go to awin.com and click ‘Join Awin’ in the top navigation.
• Select ‘Publisher’ (this is the affiliate side — you promote merchants and earn commissions).
• Fill in your account details: name, email address, country, and payment information.
• Add your primary website or content platform. This is the site Awin uses to review your application. Make sure it’s active and has some content on it.
• Pay the £1/$1 account validation fee. This is a one-time, refundable fee used to verify your identity and prevent spam accounts. It is credited back to your account once approved.
• Submit your application. Awin typically reviews applications within 1–3 business days.
• Once approved, you’ll receive a confirmation email and can log into your publisher dashboard.

IMPORTANT:  Your website must be live and have some content on it when you apply. An empty site or a domain with no pages will likely get your application rejected. You don’t need dozens of posts — but you need to show Awin that you are a real, active content creator.

What If You Don’t Have a Website?

Awin’s primary requirement is a content platform — but that doesn’t have to mean a traditional blog. Accepted platforms include:

• A website or blog (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace — any platform)
• A YouTube channel with existing videos
• An established social media account (Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest) with a following
• An email newsletter with subscribers
• A podcast with a show notes page

If you don’t have any of these yet, the fastest path is to set up a basic WordPress blog (free with hosting from around £3/month), publish 5–10 articles in your niche, and then apply. Our separate WordPress Tutorial for Beginners covers this in full.

PRO TIP:  Pick a niche before you apply. Your website and content should be clearly focused on a topic — travel, personal finance, home décor, parenting, fitness, software tools, etc. Niche-focused sites have far higher approval rates with individual merchants than generic ‘everything’ sites.

Step 2: Navigate the Awin Publisher Dashboard

Once you’re in, you’ll land on the Awin Publisher Dashboard. It can feel overwhelming at first, but the key areas are straightforward. Here’s a map of what you need to know:

Dashboard Section	What It Does
Overview	Your performance summary — clicks, approved transactions, pending commissions, and total earnings. Your starting point every time you log in.
Advertisers	The merchant directory. Search and browse 9,500+ brands to find programs to join.
Links	Access and create affiliate links once you’ve been approved by a merchant program.
Reports	Detailed performance data — which links are getting clicks, which are converting, and how much you’re earning per merchant.
Transactions	A full log of every commission event: pending, approved, and declined.
Payment	Your payment preferences, minimum threshold settings, and payment history.
Account	Your profile, tax information, and compliance settings.

PRO TIP:  Spend 15 minutes exploring the dashboard before doing anything else. Click every menu item. The interface is well designed but it has depth — knowing where things are will save you time later.

Step 3: Find and Join the Right Merchant Programs

This is the most important decision you’ll make as an Awin affiliate. The merchants you choose to promote should be:

Image 5: Best merchant niches on Awin (formerly ShareASale) for beginner affiliates in 2026

• Relevant to your niche — Your audience will only click on products they’re interested in.
• Trusted brands — Recommending a poor-quality product damages your credibility. Only promote merchants you’d use yourself.
• Competitively commissionable — Look at commission rates and cookie durations before joining.
• Actively managed — Check when the program was last updated and whether the merchant responds to affiliate queries.

How to Search for Merchants

1. From the Advertisers section, use the search bar to find brands by name or keyword.
2. Filter by category to browse all merchants in your niche (e.g. Fashion, Finance, Software, Travel).
3. Sort results by EPC (Earnings Per Click) to find the programs that actually convert.
4. Click any merchant to see their full program details: commission rate, cookie duration, creative assets, and approval type (auto-approve vs manual review).
5. Click ‘Join Program’ to apply. Auto-approve programs activate immediately. Manual review programs may take a few days.

Key Metrics to Evaluate Before Joining a Program

Metric	What It Is & Why It Matters
Commission Rate	The percentage (or flat fee) you earn on each referred sale. Ranges from 1% (large retailers like Amazon) to 50%+ (software and digital products). Higher is not always better — a 50% commission on a £10 product pays less than a 5% commission on a £500 product.
Cookie Duration	How long after clicking your link the merchant will credit you for a sale. 30 days is standard. Some programs offer 60 or 90 days. Shorter cookies (24 hours or less) are less favourable.
EPC (Earnings Per Click)	How much affiliates typically earn per 100 clicks sent to this merchant. The single most useful benchmark for comparing merchant programs. Higher EPC = the program converts well.
Auto-Approve vs Manual	Auto-approve programs accept you instantly. Manual review programs assess your site before approving. Newer sites may face more rejections on manual programs — start with auto-approve.
Average Order Value	The typical purchase size on the merchant’s site. Higher AOV means more commission per sale even at the same percentage rate.

PRO TIP:  Start with 3 to 5 merchant programs in your niche rather than applying to dozens at once. Focus on quality over quantity. It’s far better to thoroughly promote a few great merchants than to scatter mediocre mentions across many.

Step 4: Get Your Affiliate Links

Once a merchant approves your application, you can access your affiliate links from the Links section of the dashboard.

Types of Links Available

• Text links: Standard hyperlinks you embed in your written content. The most commonly used format.
• Banner ads: Display image ads in various sizes. Less effective than contextual text links for most content sites.
• Deep links: Links that point directly to a specific product page rather than a merchant’s homepage. These almost always convert better because they match the user’s intent.
• Product feeds: Data feeds of a merchant’s full product catalogue, useful for building comparison or product listing pages.

How to Create a Deep Link

1. Go to Links → Create a Link in your Awin dashboard.
2. Select the merchant you want to link to.
3. Enter the specific URL of the product or page you want to link to.
4. Click Generate — Awin wraps the URL with your tracking code.
5. Copy the generated link and embed it in your content.

IMPORTANT:  Always use your Awin-generated affiliate link — never just copy the merchant’s URL directly. Only Awin tracking links register your commissions. A bare merchant URL earns you nothing even if the visitor buys.

Link Disclosure Requirements

This is not optional. Both Awin’s terms of service and consumer protection laws in the UK, US, and EU require you to disclose that your content contains affiliate links. This means:

• Add a disclosure statement near the top of any page or post that contains affiliate links
• The disclosure must be clear and conspicuous — not buried in your footer in tiny text
• Simple language like ‘This post contains affiliate links. If you purchase through my link, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.’ is perfectly sufficient

PRO TIP:  Proper disclosure actually builds trust with your audience. Readers appreciate honesty and are more likely to click affiliate links from creators they trust.

Step 5: Create Content That Actually Converts

Getting your links is the easy part. The work that determines whether you earn commissions or not happens in your content. Here’s the truth about what converts:

Content Types That Work Best for Affiliate Marketing

Content Type	Why It Converts & How to Do It
Product Reviews	High purchase intent. Someone searching ‘Bluehost review 2026’ is very close to buying. Write an honest, detailed review covering pros, cons, pricing, and your genuine verdict. Include your affiliate link naturally in context.
Comparison Posts	‘CapCut vs Canva’, ‘Bluehost vs SiteGround’ — comparison posts capture readers who are deciding between options. Include a clear recommendation to drive conversions.
How-To Tutorials	Tutorial posts that teach readers how to use a tool naturally include affiliate links to the tool itself. High SEO value, long shelf life, and naturally high trust.
Best-Of Lists	‘Best WordPress Hosting for Beginners’, ‘Top 5 Email Marketing Tools’ — list posts capture broad research intent and allow you to promote multiple merchants in a single post.
Resource / Tools Pages	A dedicated page listing all the tools and services you use and recommend. One of the highest-converting pages on most affiliate sites once traffic builds.
Email Newsletters	If you build an email list, newsletters with helpful content and contextual affiliate links earn ongoing commissions from a warm, trusting audience.

Image 7: The 6 content types that convert best for affiliate marketing in 2026

The Golden Rule of Affiliate Content

Write for your reader first. Every piece of content should genuinely help the person reading it — answer their question, solve their problem, or make a decision easier. Affiliate links should be the natural next step for a reader who found your content helpful, not the reason the content exists.

Content written purely to push affiliate links is obvious, unconvincing, and ranks poorly in Google. Content written to genuinely help people — which also happens to include relevant affiliate links — earns trust, ranks well, and converts consistently.

QUICK WIN:  Write one thorough, genuinely helpful review of a product you’ve personally used. This single piece of content, if well-optimised for search, can earn commissions for years.

Step 6: Drive Traffic to Your Affiliate Content

Affiliate links earn nothing without visitors. Here are the main traffic channels available to beginners, and honest advice on each:

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) — Best for Long-Term, Passive Income

SEO is the process of making your content rank in Google for search terms your target audience uses. It’s slower to build (typically 3–12 months before significant traffic arrives) but produces the most passive, sustainable affiliate income. A well-optimised post can generate commissions for years with no ongoing effort.

SEO basics for beginners:

• Research keywords with buyer intent — ‘best’, ‘review’, ‘vs’, ‘how to’, ‘alternative to’ signal purchase-ready readers
• Write content that’s more comprehensive and helpful than what currently ranks on page one of Google
• Use Yoast SEO or Rank Math (WordPress plugins) to optimise each page’s title, meta description, and headings
• Build internal links between related posts on your site
• Be patient — SEO takes time, but the results compound

Pinterest — Strong for Lifestyle, Home, Food, Fashion, and Travel Niches

Pinterest is a visual search engine with high purchase intent. Pinning well-designed graphics linked to your affiliate content can drive consistent traffic, especially in lifestyle-oriented niches. Results can come faster than Google SEO and last for years.

YouTube — Excellent for Product Reviews and Tutorials

Video reviews and tutorials on YouTube drive very high-converting traffic to affiliate links placed in video descriptions. Competition is lower than Google for many long-tail keywords. A well-produced review video can generate commissions from the video description for years.

Email Marketing — Highest Conversion Rate of All Channels

Building an email list is the most powerful long-term move an affiliate marketer can make. Email subscribers are warm, trusting readers who have explicitly opted in to hear from you. Email affiliate promotions consistently outperform social media for conversion rates. Start building your list from day one using a free tool like MailerLite.

Social Media — Good for Visibility, Weak for Direct Conversions

Social media (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook) can drive awareness and audience growth, but direct conversion rates for affiliate links are generally low. Social media works best as a top-of-funnel channel that drives people to your website or email list, where conversions happen.

IMPORTANT:  Do not focus all your energy on social media at the expense of building a website and email list. Social platforms change their algorithms constantly. Your website and email list are assets you own and control.

Step 7: Understanding How and When You Get Paid

How Commissions Work

When a visitor clicks your Awin affiliate link and makes a qualifying purchase, a transaction is recorded in your dashboard. This transaction goes through three stages:

• Pending: The sale has been tracked but not yet verified by the merchant.
• Approved: The merchant has confirmed the sale is valid (not returned, not fraudulent). Commission is now owed to you.
• Declined: The merchant has rejected the transaction (usually because the order was returned or cancelled).

Approval timelines vary by merchant — most approve transactions within 30–60 days after the purchase to account for return windows.

Payment Schedule

Awin pays publishers on a monthly basis. The standard payment date is the 1st and 15th of each month, depending on your account settings. The minimum payout threshold is $20 for ACH/BACS transfers. You can receive payment via:

• BACS / ACH bank transfer (UK and US — free)
• SEPA transfer (EU — free)
• International wire transfer (fees may apply)

Commission Types You’ll Encounter

Commission Type	How It Works
Pay Per Sale (PPS)	You earn a percentage of the sale value when a referred visitor completes a purchase. The most common type. Example: 10% commission on a £100 product = £10 earned.
Pay Per Lead (PPL / CPA)	You earn a fixed fee when a referred visitor completes a specific action — signing up for a free trial, submitting a form, or creating an account. No purchase required. Often very high-converting.
Pay Per Click (PPC)	You earn a small amount for every click on your affiliate link, regardless of whether a sale occurs. Rare on Awin — most programs are PPS or PPL.
Tiered Commissions	Some merchants increase your commission rate as your sales volume grows. The more you send, the more you earn per sale.

Step 8: Track Performance and Optimise

Once your content is live and generating clicks, the work doesn’t stop — it becomes about understanding what’s working and doing more of it.

Key Metrics to Watch in Your Awin Dashboard

• Clicks: How many people clicked your affiliate links. Low clicks despite high traffic = your links aren’t compelling or well-placed.
• Conversion Rate: The percentage of clicks that result in a sale. Industry average is 1–3%. Below 0.5% suggests your traffic isn’t well-matched to the merchant.
• EPC (Earnings Per Click): Your average earnings for every 100 clicks. Tracks your overall affiliate performance across merchants.
• Approved vs Pending vs Declined: A high decline rate can indicate traffic quality issues or a problematic merchant.

Optimisation Tactics for Beginners

• Double down on what works — if one post is generating most of your commissions, write more posts on similar topics or expand the existing post.
• Test link placement — links placed within the first third of an article typically convert better than links buried at the bottom.
• Add comparison tables — visually structured product comparisons convert significantly better than plain text mentions.
• Update old content — refresh posts with new pricing, features, and screenshots annually to maintain rankings and relevance.
• Replace underperforming merchants — if a merchant has high clicks but zero conversions over 90 days, consider swapping for a competitor.

PRO TIP:  Set up Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console alongside your Awin dashboard. Together they give you the full picture: where your traffic comes from, what people search to find you, and what content drives the most affiliate revenue.

How Much Can You Realistically Earn?

Let’s be honest, because most guides aren’t. Here’s what realistic affiliate income looks like for beginners using Awin (formerly ShareASale):

Stage	Typical Timeline	Realistic Monthly Earnings
Starting out	Months 1–3	£0–£50. Your content is new, SEO hasn’t kicked in, and traffic is minimal. Focus on creating content, not checking your dashboard.
Early traction	Months 4–9	£50–£300. Some posts are ranking, traffic is growing, a few commissions are coming in. The model is proving itself.
Building momentum	Months 10–18	£300–£1,000+. Multiple posts ranking, traffic compounding, multiple merchant programs contributing. This is where affiliate income starts to feel meaningful.
Established affiliate	18 months+	£1,000–£5,000+/month. A growing content library, solid SEO rankings, and multiple income streams working simultaneously.

These ranges assume consistent effort — publishing quality content regularly, building backlinks, and optimising based on data. Affiliate marketing is not passive income from day one. It’s a business that becomes increasingly passive as your content library and search rankings grow.

IMPORTANT:  Be deeply sceptical of any guide that promises you £1,000 in your first month from affiliate marketing. It happens occasionally — but only for creators who already have an established audience. For most beginners, months 1–6 are an investment period where you are building assets, not cashing cheques.

Common Mistakes Beginners Make (And How to Avoid Them)

• Promoting too many merchants at once. Joining 50 programs and producing thin content for all of them consistently underperforms versus focusing on 3–5 merchant programs and creating genuinely comprehensive content for each.
• Picking the wrong niche. Choosing a niche based on commission rates alone without considering whether you can produce authoritative, authentic content is a recipe for failure. Write about things you know and care about.
• Ignoring SEO. Relying entirely on social media for traffic is volatile and short-lived. Invest in SEO from the beginning — it’s the engine of sustainable affiliate income.
• Not disclosing affiliate links. Skipping the legal disclosure isn’t just a rule violation — it’s a trust violation. Always disclose clearly.
• Giving up too soon. The number one reason beginners fail at affiliate marketing is quitting after 2–3 months when they haven’t earned much. Most successful affiliates see significant income only after 12–18 months of consistent effort.
• Only targeting high-commission products. A product that pays 40% commission on a £15 sale earns you £6. A product that pays 8% on a £500 sale earns you £40. Always calculate absolute earnings, not just rates.
• Not building an email list. Your email list is the only audience you truly own. Social platforms can change their algorithms. Google can change its rankings. Your email list is yours.

Best Niches for Awin Affiliates in 2026

While you can make affiliate income in virtually any niche, some categories on Awin consistently produce stronger commissions for beginners:

Niche	Why It Works on Awin
Personal Finance & Fintech	High EPCs, strong commission rates, and merchants offering PPL (pay per lead) make finance one of the most lucrative niches. Credit cards, savings accounts, and investment apps often pay £30–£100+ per approved customer.
Web Hosting & Software (SaaS)	High ticket recurring commissions. Hosting companies (SiteGround, Bluehost, Hostinger) pay £50–£150 per referral. Software tools with monthly subscriptions offer recurring commissions.
Fashion & Apparel	Enormous merchant selection on Awin. Lower commission rates (5–15%) but huge purchase volume. Works well with Pinterest and Instagram traffic.
Home & Garden	Strong buyer intent, large average order values, and a wide merchant selection. Works particularly well with Pinterest and SEO.
Travel	Recovering strongly post-pandemic. Hotels, flights, and travel insurance all offer strong affiliate programs. Higher seasonality but high AOV.
Health & Wellness	Broad niche with passionate audiences. Supplements, fitness equipment, and wellness apps all have strong merchant programs on Awin.
Online Education & Courses	Growing fast. E-learning platforms often offer 20–50% commissions and PPL deals for free trial sign-ups.

Legal Requirements: What You Must Do

Affiliate marketing has real legal obligations. Ignoring them can result in FTC (US) or ASA (UK) enforcement action. Here’s what you need to know:

• Always disclose: Any content containing affiliate links must clearly state that it includes affiliate links and that you may earn a commission. This applies to blog posts, YouTube videos, social media posts, and email newsletters.
• Be honest: You cannot make false claims about products to drive affiliate sales. Reviews must reflect your genuine opinion.
• No misleading promotions: Fake scarcity, fake discounts, or deceptive comparison structures violate both Awin’s terms and consumer protection law.
• Awin’s compliance requirements: Awin enforces its own content standards. Violations can result in account termination and withheld commissions.

QUICK WIN:  A simple disclosure statement like ‘This post contains affiliate links — if you buy through my link, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you’ covers the basic legal requirement and takes two seconds to add.

Conclusion: Your Next Steps

ShareASale’s name is gone, but the opportunity it represented — and everything that made it great — lives on through Awin. For beginners looking to make money with affiliate marketing in 2026, Awin is still one of the best starting points available: free to join, beginner-accessible, with thousands of merchant programs across every niche.

The path from zero to consistent affiliate income isn’t complicated, but it does require patience and consistency:

• Set up a niche website (or content platform) if you don’t have one already
• Sign up at Awin.com as a publisher
• Choose 3–5 relevant, reputable merchant programs to start with
• Create genuinely helpful content — reviews, comparisons, tutorials — with your affiliate links embedded naturally
• Invest in SEO and build your email list from day one
• Track what works using your Awin dashboard and Google Analytics
• Be patient. The compounding returns of consistent affiliate content take time but are very real

The affiliates who succeed are not the ones with the biggest audiences or the most links. They’re the ones who show up consistently, create content that genuinely helps people, and stay in the game long enough for the work to compound.

Start today. Your future self will thank you.
