Do you shop on Shopee? There is a 50% chance you are missing out on extra income

If you shop on Shopee, chances are you’ve shared a great product with your friends at some point. And guess what? You could have made money sharing those links!

I didn’t know about this either, so I’m actually pretty pissed. I shared all kinds of products with my friends every time there was a sale, from Korean skincare to the most random things like wet wipes, UV umbrellas, and Sanrio mystery boxes, not realizing I could have made some extra money doing it.

But hey, at least now I know. So what is this secret sauce? It’s the Shopee Affiliate Program (SAP).

Share and earn money with Shopee’s affiliate program

The Shopee affiliate program is the largest in Singapore and offers the highest rewards – up to 40% cash commission on every successful order.

The exact amount you earn depends on the total order amount.

Have you become interested? Then it’s easy to get started. As long as you have a Shopee account, you can easily sign up via our link to receive a S$5 Shopee voucher (no minimum spend). Once that’s done, you can find a product you want to recommend and share the link with your friends.

Shopee has made sharing affiliate links super easy. For anyone who has successfully signed up, any link you share from the app automatically becomes an affiliate link that you can use to earn commissions. When someone clicks on your link and purchases the product, you will receive a commission when their orders are completed.

Withdrawing your commissions is also very easy. Once you have registered a bank account, your commissions will be paid directly into your bank account every week. You don’t have to fill out any cumbersome or complicated forms to withdraw. Just share your links and get paid in cash!

All you need to get started is a phone number and a bank account in Singapore.

How much can I realistically earn?

Now comes the main question: How much can you Strictly speaking make?

On average, a Shopee affiliate earns 5% – 10% commission on each order, which can range from S$50 to S$100 per month.

The amount you earn depends on the following factors:

• Number of people who purchase through your links: Simply clicking isn’t enough. People have to actually buy the product you’re recommending.

• Price of products purchased: The more expensive the product, the more commission you will earn. If someone purchases a smart TV through your link, you could easily earn S$80 in commission. On the other hand, if someone only buys a pair of socks, your commission might be just a few cents.

• The commission percentage: This varies depending on the product. Some products have a Commissions XTRA Label that grants a higher commission percentage. There are also campaign periods where the commission percentage is higher for a limited time.

The story continues

Can I make this a full-time job?

Shopee’s top affiliates earn between four and five figures a month, especially those with large social media followings who know how to convince their followers to buy their recommendations. We’re not saying you need to be an influencer with thousands of followers – it’s just that if you have a lot of followers, more people are more likely to see your product link.

But even without many followers on social media, you can still earn a good income with a little marketing.

How to increase your reach:

Create content for video reviews

You can create videos where you review the products or demonstrate how to use them. If you’re camera shy, you can focus on the products without showing your face and share them on platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. The videos don’t have to be too long or overly edited either. Whatever is on TikTok works!

Enjoy the benefits of Shopee LIVE

Shopee partners also have access to Shopee LIVE to share their recommendations. Over 60,000 viewers watch the livestream daily, and you don’t need to own a business to stream yourself.

Create a niche social media account

You don’t have to be an influencer to make it big on social media. Try creating a new Instagram or TikTok account that focuses on a niche topic that interests you and others. This could be food, sports, memes, beauty, etc.

These like-minded, close-knit online communities are more trustworthy. And people are more likely to buy what you recommend.

• Once you have built a decent and trustworthy following, you can share products along with your affiliate links as posts/stories. Here are some people you can take inspiration from: agnesboo80, sheilamansy, and hometrulee.

These accounts don’t focus exclusively on products, as that might be too boring. Try to incorporate content on topics like humor, education, your personal life, or anything you’re passionate about.

Share your links in your social chat groups

Unless you’re a social hermit, you probably already participate in some Telegram or WhatsApp group chats with your friends. Or maybe you’re in a BTO group chat with future neighbors? Try sharing your affiliate links through these chats – you’ll be surprised how many orders you can get with just one share! But of course, don’t be a spammer. Only share links of products you think the group can benefit from.

So that’s your potential side income: you earn extra money by sharing Shopee links – something you probably already do. As long as you have a Shopee account, signing up and sharing your product links is easy. If you want to make more out of it, you have plenty of options too.
