💡 How Etsy Shop Owners Can Use Awin to Earn More : Awin-Etsy Affiliate Strategy for Etsy Sellers

🛍️ What is Awin?

Awin is an affiliate marketing network that allows you to earn commission by promoting products — including Etsy listings. Etsy runs its official affiliate program exclusively through Awin.

💡 How Etsy Shop Owners Can Use Awin to Earn More

1. Promote Your Own Etsy Listings

Yes — Etsy allows affiliates to earn commission even on their own shop’s products if the buyer clicks through an affiliate link (not through direct search or Etsy app).

✅ How it works:

• Sign up for Awin + Etsy Affiliate Program
• Get approved (usually quick for Etsy sellers)
• Generate affiliate links to your own Etsy listings
• Share those links on:
  • Pinterest (Idea Pins or static Pins)
  • Blog posts (e.g. gift guides, tutorials)
  • Instagram bio / Linktree
  • Email newsletters
    YouTube descriptions or reels
    Earn 4% to 8% commission on sales made through your links — even for your own products!
    

🔒 Pro Tip: Etsy cookies last for 30 days — if someone buys any Etsy item through your link (not just your listing), you earn a commission.

2. Create SEO-Optimized Blog Content

If you have a blog (like your WordPress site), write:

• Product features or behind-the-scenes
• Gift guides like “Best Handmade Gifts for Weddings”
• Tutorials (e.g. “How to Style an Embroidered Clutch”)

Then, embed your Awin affiliate links to your own products.

3. Make Pinterest Work Harder

Pinterest allows external links — you can:

• Create beautiful pins of your product
• Use your Awin Etsy affiliate link instead of direct Etsy link
• If a user buys after clicking that pin, you earn commission

🎯 You can pin your product multiple times with different keyword-rich captions for better reach.

4. Add Affiliate Links to Instagram Bio Link Tools

Use tools like Linktree, Milkshake, or your own mini website to embed your Awin links.

5. Leverage Etsy Gift Guides & Affiliate Roundups

Promote other Etsy listings you love — curated roundups like:

• “Boho Wedding Must-Haves”
• “10 Handmade Gifts for Women Entrepreneurs”

You’ll earn commission for those sales too — and subtly include your own listings for extra exposure and income. It is time to make your Etsy Shop holiday ready, so make sure you get these extra profits and marketing at every single click.

Smart Etsy sellers save time and scale up their productivity using automation tools like automation tools, scheduling dashboards, keyword searches, and stock managers. You can also support your favorite tools—and earn while you help others discover them—by joining Etsy’s Affiliate Program via Awin, which pays approximately 4% commission on qualifying sales tracked within a 30‑day window.
