Not too long ago I shared some tips for choosing the right affiliate programs. It turns, out a lot of you have thought of joining some but haven’t yet. Today I’m sharing a few of the big money affiliate programs that have worked for me.
Big Money: Affiliate Programs That Pay Bloggers!

*This post contains affiliate links
Grammarly
Alright, so the first merchant that I want to share with you is pretty much my favorite. Some of you might already know that English isn’t my first language. I first heard about Grammarly from another blogger. I ended up adding the application to my browser and started using it right away. The basics features are free to use, and you can upgrade to a premium account for even more features. After using it for a couple of days, I was hooked. Not only is Grammarly a big money program for bloggers, but it’s also a very useful tool. You can test out Grammarly for free. Trust me; you will be hooked!
Sale Commission: $20.00
Lead Commission $0.20
PicMonkey
If you are a blogger, then you already know all about PicMonkey! I use this tool for a good majority of my photos. It’s also the tool I refer to new bloggers. PicMonkey is free to use and has a lot of amazing features. I love using it so much that I signed up for membership two years ago. Sure, if you have the funds you can get Photoshop, but PicMonkey is very easy to use for someone like me, that doesn’t know how to use Photoshop.
Sale Commission: 50.00%
Aloha
Aloha is brand new to me. I recently joined this program, but I have not tried any of their products yet! Their referral bonus is very attractive, which is what led me to join their affiliate programs. If you love tea, you will love Aloha. They offer a broad range of delicious teas.
Bonus: They are currently offering Free Trial of Superfood Smoothie Kit! GO! (ended)
Sale Commission: 10.00%
Lead Commission $10.00
That’s just a few of the affiliate programs that pays bloggers.
Other Affiliate programs that I’m using (via Share A Sale)

Gymboree, Crazy 8 & Janie and Jack: Not sure I wanted to share this one because I seriously spend WAY more money buying clothes for my kids than I make with them.
There you have it, top affiliate programs that pay bloggers. As I mentioned before, there is more, but these are the ones that I’m currently using.

They sound like great programs. I’ll have to look into these and see if any of them would be beneficial for me!
I love Grammerly. It helps me to write better.
This is a great resource of affiliate programs for new bloggers! Great list!!
These seem like great sites, thank you for sharing them with us!
I had no idea you can earn from Grammarly and PicMonkey. I have both applications. I need to look more into this. Thanks!
Thank you for the info. I have been getting emails from Grammarly but I don’t usually read them. I did not know I was deleting a gold mine there! I will have to go back and check those emails!
These are nice, perfect for bloggers who are thinking of monetizing their blogs. It’s a good opportunity to earn extra as well. Thanks for the info!
Thanks for the head’s up and all of the help explaining how this works. I have been considering getting back into affiliate marketing. Great tips!
I used grammerly when I was in school,such a great program!
Never knew it was an affiliate program..now that would be a good one to partner up with.
Thanks for the great info. I already am a part of some of these, but not all of them. I think I’ll be checking more in to some of them.
I probably should do affiliate programs, but I haven’t yet. I am just kind of plodding along with my blog. Have had burn out for awhile now
I am always looking for ways to monetize my blog. These are all great companies I am going to have to check out!
This is a great list. I have been wanting to get my affiliate earnings up and this list is perfect to help me do that.
Yes! I love Grammarly, it helps me to edit my grammar and spelling errors. My husband is my “backup” editor. I will join the Grammarly affiliate program soon. Thank you for sharing!
I like these affiliate programs especially the Grammarly affiliation. Thanks for sharing.
I do fairly well with Amazon, especially now with their ads. It’s one of my main affiliates.
I feel like a big dummy right now. I had no idea Picmonkey has an affiliate program. Doh!
Thanks for the great information. I will have to share this with my Sister. She is just starting out with her blog.
Thanks so much for sharing this info! A good affiliate program is worth its weight in gold!
I signed up with a few but I’ve now pulled all affiliate ads off my blog. I like the clean look without all the ads at the side. Gymboree and Zulily were the ones that really paid for me. I miss the money but I can live without it. 🙂
Nice list, you are so skilled when it comes to affiliate programs. I am not that familiar with these.
This is such a great post of beginning and long term bloggers alike. A good affiliate program can be quite lucrative.
I had a few of these already approved when I had my parenting blog. I just requested Grammarly. I will have to look into Aloha.
These are great! I’m going to have to sign up for some of these and check it out! Thanks so much!
I am a part of these programs too and yes they are AWESOME! They are so communicative and love bloggers so it’s super fun to work with them.
I started using affiliates then stopped. I need someone to manage them for me Amazon is the only one I really use regularly.
Wow I actually use Grammarly but had no idea you could make money off of it! These are great tips to know!
These are good options if you choose to do affiliate programs. I personally don’t have much luck with aff. programs but know bloggers who do.
I use PicMonkey too! But I had no idea they paid anything. I simply use them because they’re a free resource.
I never realized that Picmonkey did affiliate marketing. I will have to look into it and the commission is not bad either!
I love mix book for our photo projects! Share a sale is one of my favorite affiliate platforms!
Thanks so much for sharing this information!
It is always a good thing to discover ways for us bloggers to make some cash! 🙂
I’ve joined some affiliate programs, but I never have time to do anything with them. I wish I did.
I haven’t even heard of some of these so i’m about to go check them out for myself right now, as a matter of fact!
I am terrible with affiliate marketing on my site. I forget to put the links in all the time lol! I need to work on this
This is a great opportunity, everything sounds fair enough. Thanks for the link to your older post, I need to brush up on my affiliates knowledge.
I never knew it had an affiliate program, but I LOVE Grammarly. I use it so I can catch my typos! lol
I think there are lot of affiliate programs available online, but hard to find the best that yields good results. These are some great suggestions to make the best use of such referral programs where Aloha is something I would really wanted to give a try.
Awesome! Thank you for putting this list together!
I haven’t used any of these. I shy away from affiliates because I don’t know them, I guess. Some day I may give it a whirl.
I love this list! There are several on here that I already work with – and they happen to be my favorites! It’s amazing how much being an affiliate can bring in if the company is a good one!
Great info to have! Thanks for sharing!
Psst. Your title is grammatically incorrect.
“Big Money: Affiliate Programs That Pays Bloggers!” should read: “Big Money: Affiliate Programs That Pay Bloggers!” Substitute “Pays” with “Pay.”) A plural subject (dogs, basketballs, Programs) takes a singular verb (growl, roll, pay), whereas a plural subject takes a plural verb.
Don’t worry. It’s a common mistake. 🙂
Oh no! Thank you for pointing it out! Updated it now!
I use some of these apps and I never even knew that you could actually earn from them. This is a piece of great news.
I seriously don’t use affiliate programs as much as I should. I had a bad experience with one so I’m super cautious. I do need to start using them again. Thanks!
I really envy the bloggers out there who can make a significant amount of money with affiliate programs. I haven’t gotten it down quite as well yet, but I am a member of Grammarly’s affiliate program already. I am loving the sound of Aloha, too. Definitely worth learning more about.
Thanks for sharing what you knew on how to monetize our blog
Oh thank you so much for this – I am going to have to take some time and go through them all as I’m trying to up my income flows. x
I am not also good in English and will definitely use Grammarly. Thanks for sharing!
Great ideas for affiliates. I will need to check them out.
I’m always curious to see what other bloggers use for affiliate programs, thanks so much for your breakdown!
