With the constant rise of the digital ecosystem, the opportunities to earn money and boost the growth of a company in it also grow.
The most proliferating platforms for this are generally marketplaces, where almost any type of item can be promoted, with a very wide scope.
How to create an affiliate account on AliExpress and earn money with it
Now, if you are not motivated to sell, marketplaces have another way to earn money, including their affiliate system.
With this system, you only need to promote marketplace products through your content, and thus for each purchase made through the promotional links or banners, you will receive a commission.
This system has become quite well known and used by Amazon, although it has declined a bit due to the drop in commissions.
However, AliExpress, Alibaba's western sales option, has its affiliate system. We explain how to create an account and how to take advantage of what it has to offer.
How to become an affiliate on AliExpress
As we mentioned, the affiliate system is not new news, however, the AliExpress program makes a difference with higher commission rates.
Here we can find products that provide a commission of up to 50%, with an established minimum of 8%, a higher percentage than Amazon.
Now, to create an account as an affiliate, we only have to enter the AliExpress site, and when we go down completely on the screen we will find the option “Affiliate Program”.
We can also enter more directly by entering this URL portals.aliexpress.com, in the search bar.
Once we are inside this portal we can proceed to register, this will be like registering on any site.
We must place a phone number, email, or enter through a Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. account.
Once the registration process has started, it remains to fill in the basic information, distinguishing in principle whether it is an individual account or a company account.
Likewise, it is possible to start the referral program either with a website or with a social network.
The key here would be to have a considerable flow of followers or users to generate traffic to AliExpress.
Next, it is time to place the respective information on the site or social network, marking the type of content that is handled, the name, and the regions of the main contact.
To finish we must upload the contact information, to which we will receive a verification code according to the method we have chosen, WhatsApp, mail, etc.
Finally, after verifying, you have to accept the terms and conditions of the page. And ready, we are already affiliated.
How does the program work
Once registered and within the affiliate portal, we find a dashboard with all the account data, balance, current earnings, and last month.
As well as metrics on clicks, payment orders, estimated commissions, and specific commissions.
Something that must be taken into account is that with this program you can be charged monthly, as long as the payment balance is greater than 16 dollars.
This is because at the moment it makes payments by international bank transfers, whose commission is 15 dollars.

To start generating money we have two options which are banners, or promotional links by product.
If we enter the AdCenter option, we will see the different possibilities that we have to add to the web, which will generally be in English like the rest of the site.
This is a general plan on the banners and promotions, on the other hand for the product links if we can better discern between the products sold in Spain and the global ones.
Always taking into account its price, the discount that the product can present, and the commission that it would generate for us once the conversion is achieved.
We have the possibility of adding these links individually or in bulk depending on what we want.
plugin
A very useful tool if you want to jump right into the world of AliExpress affiliates is the plugin.
With this, you can have all the information about the products integrated automatically on the web page.
