Affiliate marketing for beginners
Free, easy and quick!
Well, I think it’s safe to say that artists are some of the poorest professionals on the planet. Yes, I’m an actress 🙂
It’s almost common knowledge and I can assure you that I have spent many years googling money tips, how to make money from home, affiliate marketing programs, etc etc etc…
I used to believe that any article that had the words “make money online” or “how to get money from affiliate marketing” were either a scam or reserved for influencers and people who had a name established for themselves.

Turns out, I was wrong!
However, it wasn’t until recently that I realized that I was already implementing money making and saving strategies that my friends weren’t or didn’t know about, that’s no bueno.
Think about it, money for headshots, classes, casting websites, beauty maintenance, wardrobe…it all add up, and the good thing is, these little tricks work for everyone! Plus, they’re incredibly easy to sign up for and I actually use these myself.
I’ll continue to add to this list as I go, but for now I’ll jump right into it with an app that is literally easy as pie.
Fetch Rewards
Make money and save money PLUS an affiliate option!
It is an app for both iphone and android, where you collect points for scanning your receipts. That’s it.
- MAKE– You can redeem these points for money/gift cards once you’ve reached 3,000 points, AND by using my code, you automatically start with 2,000 points. You’re literally almost there already. Think Target, Amazon, Starbucks, CVS, Ulta, Adidas, Airbnb… I’m serious, a ton of your favorite stores!
- MAKE– Every 1,000 points = $1 and you can scan receipts from ANY STORE to collect your points. If you happen to make a purchase from one of their feature products, you get a boatload of points!
- MAKE– Want to know what is even cooler, once you sign up using my referral code, not only do I get points too, but YOU can also become an affiliate member and refer your friends. You and your friends get MORE POINTS. We know what that means, MORE MONEY! Just make sure to scan your receipts within 14 days.
In addition, and you can link it to your Amazon account so all of your online purchases can be redeemed too!
Rakuten
Make money and save money PLUS another affiliate option!
Holy moly this one is awesome beyond awesome I can’t even write fast enough to tell you. How to make easy money from home, if you’re a fan of online shopping, I’m going to need you to read this entire section!
- SAVE– Rakuten is a browser extension where you get cash back rebates, promo codes and coupons. They have partnered with over 5000 stores so once you have installed the extension and are on one of their partner sites, you will get a little pop up asking if you’d like to activate Rakuten for your savings. Click YES!
You’re shopping anyways, may as well save money AND make money while you’re at it.

WeAudition
Save money on subscription and MAKE MONEY at home.
Next up, this one is for my actors or those who love to audition and read scripts. WeAudition is a platform for actors who need help finding a reader for their auditions AND who want to be a reader for other actors.
Its cool because not only are you practicing and getting better, you get to sort of get a behind the scenes sneak peek of what everyone else is doing, while making money at home.
- MAKE– So how do you make money? Well, you can either set your rates on your account (I’ll help for 15 minutes for $7, $10 for 20 mins and so on) OR you can just read for tips…which you usually always make at least $2 for 15 minutes or less. If you’re really good or go over time, you often get tipped more.
- SAVE– WeAudition does sponsor my podcast so I just happen to have a promo code, ACTINGUP25, where you can save 25% off your subscription. Typically it is $10/month, but using my code, you will only pay $7.50/month, every month, meaning, it doesn’t go back up to $10 after your first month! It’s these few dollars here and there that start adding up, so save as much as you can, wherever you can!
Feel free to take a moment to listen to my podcast “Always Acting Up” if you like more tips and industry secrets, HERE.
BlueHost
Save money and help me out 😉
Bluehost is a website host. So if you are looking to get your website, it’s likely you’re going to need a host. Bluehost is one of the best ones out there and their 24/7 customer support is en pointe. In fact, it’s this website is using right now!
- SAVE– Make sure you’ve read money saving tip #2 and have Rakuten installed.
***I got $10 back just for making sure to click yes when I purchased my subscription. WIN!
I don’t believe there is a discount code specifically for Bluehost, but their plans are fair and affordable. So far so good.
- MAKE– You can become an affiliate too! Make sure to use my code for your hosting purchase then apply to become an affiliate member yourself! Sounds like more free money to me.
