Now you're looking for a way to earn income from eBay without having to actually sell any products, eBay’s affiliate program offers a way for online content publishers to make money by driving high-quality traffic to eBay.
Affiliate marketing is a way for content publishers to make money by promoting eCommerce merchants. Essentially, publishers can monetize existing web traffic by referring visitors to their merchant partners through the use of traceable links. When one of your referred customers makes a purchase, you can earn a commission.
eBay Partner Network(ePN) is eBay's in-house affiliate program, and offers a staggering array of options for publishers to tap into and profit from “the world’s online marketplace.” The program provides publishers with resources to monetize their websites, social pages, mobile apps and other online properties by converting visitors into eBay buyers.
Once you’ve established a web presence and have decided that eBay Partner Network is a good fit for you, you’ll want to apply to ePN. This is a quick process, taking only minutes to complete.
Once you’re accepted, you’ll get access to tools such as banners, buttons and text links to add to your website or social page. You can simply copy and paste code to your site, so it’s easy for novices to get started. If you have more advanced development skills, eBay provides access to its API so you can build more customized solutions.
Choose the items or categories that make sense for you to promote to your audience. For example, if you have a fashion blog, you can choose to only promote items within that niche.
