Amazon, Shopify, Semrush, Hostinger Affiliate Programs — Put Your Link on SubSharePool and Start Earning

A lot of people are quietly earning a side income just by sharing links. Not selling anything, not running ads, not building a huge audience. Just sharing a link to a product they already use, and earning a small cut when someone buys through it.

Four programs come up again and again when people talk about this — Amazon Associates, Shopify's affiliate program, Semrush, and Hostinger. Let's go through each one honestly, what they actually pay, and where you can put these links so people actually click them.

Amazon Associates

This is the one almost everyone starts with, and for good reason. Amazon sells basically everything, so no matter what your content is about, there's something to link.

Commission rates depend heavily on category. Amazon Games sits at the top with 20%, luxury beauty and Amazon Explore pay 10%, digital and physical music pay 5%, and most everyday physical products fall somewhere between 1% and 4.5%. Amazon Haul, a newer category, pays up to 25% which is honestly one of the better rates on the platform right now.

Here's the part most people don't know though — Amazon's cookie window is only 24 hours, but it works in your favor in one specific way. If someone clicks your link for a $15 book and within those 24 hours adds a $2,000 TV to their cart and buys it, you earn commission on the TV too. Not just the thing you linked. This is why even "low" commission rates on Amazon add up faster than people expect.

For context, the average reported earnings for an Amazon affiliate sits around $98,000 a year according to recent salary data, though that's heavily skewed by top earners — most people start much smaller and build up.

Shopify Affiliate Program

Shopify's program works a bit differently because you're not promoting a product — you're promoting the platform itself to people who want to start an online store.

When someone signs up for Shopify through your link and becomes a paying customer, you earn a commission on that referral. Rates vary but generally land in a similar range to other SaaS affiliate programs — meaningful enough that even a handful of signups a month adds up, especially because store owners tend to stay subscribed for a long time.

This one works really well if your content is about business, ecommerce, side hustles, or "how to start an online store" type topics. People watching that content are exactly the people about to sign up for something like Shopify anyway.

Semrush Affiliate Program

If your content touches SEO, marketing, content strategy, or anything business-tool related, Semrush is one of the better paying programs out there.

It's known as one of the highest paying SaaS affiliate programs, with a notably long cookie duration — much longer than the typical 30 days you see elsewhere. That matters a lot because people usually research tools like Semrush for weeks before actually subscribing. A longer cookie means you don't lose the commission just because someone took their time deciding.

It's free to join and gives you tracking links plus a dashboard to see your performance. If you make any kind of content around marketing, SEO, blogging, or growing a business online, this is worth applying to.

Hostinger Affiliate Program

We've covered this one before but it's worth mentioning here because of how widely it's used. Hosting is something almost every creator, blogger, or small business eventually needs, and Hostinger's pricing makes it an easy recommendation.

The affiliate program pays a commission for every signup that comes through your link, and because hosting plans are often bought for multiple years upfront, a single referral can be worth a meaningful one-time payout. It's also one of the easier programs to get approved for, with no big audience requirement.

The Pattern Across All Four

Notice something — none of these require you to be famous. None of them require a massive audience. What they require is relevant content and a place to put the link where people who are interested will actually see it.

Amazon works because everyone shops there. Shopify and Semrush work because business and marketing content naturally leads to tool recommendations. Hostinger works because everyone building something online eventually needs hosting.

The actual skill here isn't marketing. It's just — talk about things you already use, and link them.

Where Do You Actually Put These Links

This is the part everyone gets stuck on. YouTube descriptions get scrolled past. Instagram only allows one link in bio. Blog posts take months to rank and get traffic.

SubSharePool's link section solves this directly. People come to SubSharePool already looking for deals, tools, and recommendations — your affiliate link sits right there in front of an audience actively looking for exactly that kind of thing.

Setting it up takes two minutes. Sign in to SubSharePool, go to your profile dashboard, go to the link section, and paste your affiliate link with a short description — "Amazon find I actually use", "Best hosting deal right now", "Tool I use for SEO research" — whatever fits. It's live immediately and free to post.

People are genuinely doing this right now — posting their Amazon, Hostinger, Semrush and Shopify links and earning commissions from an audience they never had access to before.

FAQ

Which affiliate program is easiest to get approved for? Amazon Associates and Hostinger are generally the easiest — low barriers, fast approval, no big audience needed. Semrush and Shopify also have straightforward applications but tend to work best if your content is relevant to business or marketing.

Can I join more than one affiliate program at the same time? Yes, absolutely. Most creators run several affiliate links across different programs depending on what fits their content. There's no rule against combining Amazon, Hostinger, Semrush and Shopify links together.

Do I need a website to use these affiliate programs? No. You can share affiliate links through YouTube, social media, or platforms like SubSharePool. A website helps long term but isn't required to start earning.

How do I share my affiliate link on SubSharePool? Sign in, go to your profile dashboard, go to the link section, paste your affiliate link with a short description. It's free and takes about two minutes.

Is it legal to earn through affiliate links without registering a business? In most cases yes, as an individual affiliate you can earn through these programs without a registered company — though you should check tax requirements in your country once your earnings grow.
