10 Pottery Affiliate Programs

Hello there Sea Changers. Welcome back to my series of program lists to assist those of you looking to fund your sea change with affiliate marketing. Today we are going to spin the wheel to look at my 10 pottery affiliate programs to mould this year.

Pottery is a quite a popular pastime and whilst it falls nicely within the lucrative hobby niche where we know people will spend money, there is also the professional use element as well. There are a number of sub niche possibilities here as well so with a little work, this could be one that can be turned into quite a nice little sea change funding online business.

Before we begin however, I am conscious that there are a number of different areas or sub niches within this subject hence the quantity of affiliate programs to choose from may be just as large. So how have I picked my best 10? Well… I really just wanted to give you a good cross section of what is out there so I did some searching around and checked a few out and chose them by looking at:

• What they offer
• Commission rates
• Payment terms
• Cookie duration
• Application processes
• Affiliate/Marketing materials provided

1. Ceramic Superstore

Let's start with an all in one site in Ceramic Superstore. This site has everything you could possibly need to get started on your pottery journey with a range of products way too large to list here. Their categories however include:

This is a great site for affiliates as it allows you to cover all aspects of pottery for both the hobbyist and professional in the one spot. They also offer a large range of well-known brands as well as a great educational video series. Needless to say, this is one that you could definitely use to base an affiliate business upon.

10. Amazon Associates

Alternatively, should you wish to set up your site up with a range from a few different brands or companies on the same site then you can do so via Amazon. Amazon provides access to a good range of pottery related products and has a fairly good affiliate program as well. So if you wish, join the Amazon Associates program, locate the best products relevant to your site within Amazon itself and you can post links on your own site as well.

Amazon's commission rates are not too bad and some prefer this avenue due to the sheer amount of traffic and trustworthiness that comes with a company site of this size.

What do we mean by pottery?

I am sure for many of us, our first introduction to pottery was a mangled clump of clay that we ‘created' in the school classroom by seeing how far it would fly if we turned the wheel up full speed… For others it might be a certain movie starring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. And considering that there are 1000s of searches undertaken online per month for the term ‘pottery', it does appear that no matter how it was introduced to us, there are a few out there who consider this a good way to pass their time…

So for this post, I have tried to cover a good cross section of pottery affiliate program options covering:

• General equipment and accessories
• Pottery wheels
• Clay, ceramic or plaster supplies
• Pottery cookware and tableware
• Ceramic pots

And of course anything else you can think of when it comes to the pottery side of making money with arts and crafts online… So, if you are looking to set up an online business in this space, let's check them out below.

What can affiliate marketers promote?

There are essentially no real barriers to what affiliate marketers can promote when it comes to pottery. There are however some things to be aware of as you run your eye over pottery affiliate program possibilities that may suit your site. These are:

1. Know your audience, some are looking for specifics and want the best whilst others are hoping to just get their equipment and supplies on a budget. Choose your affiliate sites accordingly.
2. Those who are passionate about their craft or make a living from pottery will not take risks if they don't trust you or your affiliate site. Make sure the programs you choose are reputable and have good recourse options if the purchaser is not happy.
3. Those purchasing as a new hobby will need to know exactly what they need and that the products you are promoting will fit in with their requirements. Make sure your programs can provide the products to back up the information that you are covering.

How to find your own affiliate programs

As stated earlier, by outlining the sites above I have really just tried to give you a good cross section of the types of programs that are out there by listing the really good ones in each ‘category'. That does not mean that you cannot find affiliate programs that better suit what it is that you are trying to do within this space especially as I could never even begin to cover every pottery related requirement or sub niche in the one post. Luckily for us, there is a simple way to find these programs online.

All you need to do is enter “affiliate: niche type” into your search engine (substituting ‘niche type‘ for whatever product it is that you are choosing to sell).

There are pottery related affiliate programs for everything else that we have listed at the top of this page as well – you will just need to have a look around until you find one or two that suit your site. Once you have completed your searches, you can look through and find programs that:

• Relate to your niche/problems that you are solving.
• Have quality products – your brand can be severely damaged if you promote poor quality products.
• Have solid payment and customer service arrangement.
• Pay decent commissions.
• Have good testimonials covering commission payouts and quality of product.

In most cases, you will need to apply for the program before you are allowed to promote their products – don’t take this step lightly or you will be rejected. Affiliate programs will generally want to know:

• Your website name.
• Traffic levels.
• Why you want to join – (so I can make money by selling your tripods is unfortunately not generally a good enough answer).
• How you plan to promote their products.

Conclusion

So… There are 10 of the best pottery affiliate programs to mould this year. I hope it has been helpful for you as you commence your own pottery based affiliate marketing business and as usual, please do not hesitate to comment below if you have any questions, need some advice or have any experiences to share. Oh, and especially comment if you have any experience with these, or any other programs as well.

Until next time

Have fun
