Welcome to the 2 Lil’ Owls Affiliate area!
Being an affiliate is the perfect way to earn a little extra money. I pay 25% of your referral sale when someone uses your link to make a purchase! I pay out around the 1st of the month.
How does an affiliate system work? You fill out the application. If you are approved, then you will have access to your own personal affiliate area where you will get an affiliate link attached to you to promote.
The affiliate link you use works because it puts a cookie on the device of the person who clicked the link – it lets the website identify a purchase with your link and gives you proper credit. If someone clicks your link but then makes a purchase from another device – that cookie does not follow them from device to device. You will not get credit for that sale.
*All sales must be attached to an affiliate link for you to get proper credit. I will not be able to manually give you credit for sales you “think” you may have gotten, and I will not be able to look up and give you any information from an order a person may or may not have placed due to the invasion of that person’s privacy and the privacy laws. All sales must have proper documentation for correct payout and tax purposes.
How much money can you make as an affiliate? That is all up to you! The better you promote your link every month, the more sales you are likely to bring in.
Best ways to promote your link:
- send it out to your email list showing your photo and telling what you used on photo
- put the link in your blog posts when you tell people what you used on your photos
- use your link with your social media post of your photo where you tell people what you used
- post your link in the description with your photo on any site you are promoting/selling the photo
- keep a banner ad going on your website
- keep a banner ad in your email every week
The more ways you find to promote your link to your followers, the more likely you are to have some good affiliate sales each month. I have some banner photos below you can use with your link for your site or in your email. You can “right click” on the photos to save them to your computer.
What I recommend you DON’T DO:
I recommend you do not promote your link on your Instagram account or any account that users primarily use on their mobile devices.
The issue you run into will be that people may click on your link while browsing Instagram on their mobile device. Then they may decide to go back to the website later from their computer to make their purchase.
Why is this an issue? The affiliate link you use works because it puts a cookie on the device of the person who clicked the link – it lets the website identify a purchase with your link and gives you proper credit. If they then decide to purchase from another device – that cookie does not follow them from device to device. You will not get credit for that sale.

*All affiliates are subject to approval. Please fill out the form completely with your website and how you plan to promote your affiliate link. Only businesses that align well with my business will be approved. This is not a program where I hold your hand as an affiliate. You will want to already have prior experience with affiliate sales and have an established business. You will need to have an actionable plan for marketing your link filled in on your application. If you have no affiliate activity in your account from referrals or sales for more than 6 months – your affiliate account will be deactivated.
