50+ Best Affiliate Programs for Christian Bloggers

As a Christian content creator, your main priority is probably creating excellent content that encourages, inspires, or helps your readers solve a problem you have experienced yourself.

You didn’t start blogging to get rich or because you wanted to be a full-time business owner. You simply wanted to help people, and maybe earn a little income on the side.

Yet, if you website isn’t earning an income, it isn’t sustainable.

You need to invest in your ministry if you want it to grow (buying software, taking courses, hiring a VA, etc). Your family has bills to pay, and you deserve to earn a fair wage for your time.

Yes, you CAN earn a real income, fulfill your God-given purpose, and serve your readers well.

And affiliate marketing is one great way to do just that!

What is Affiliate Marketing?

With affiliate marketing, you promote a product or service someone else created in exchange for a commission. Typically, you earn a fixed percentage (2-50%) for every sale made through your unique affiliate link, which you receive 30-90 days later.

For example, you might share an affiliate link for your favorite book, fair-trade jewelry, art class, or subscription box on social media, your website, or via your email list. When someone clicks your link and purchases a product, you automatically earn a portion of the sale!

Why Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is just one way to earn money online as a Christian content creator, but it comes with some serious benefits that make it perfect for content creators at every level.

1. You can start for free (no inventory, no risk)

You don’t need to purchase a “kit” or store any inventory. Just sign up and grab a link to share.

2. It’s MUCH easier and faster than creating your own product.

While creating a product is another great way to earn income online, it typically requires a lot more time, expense, and tech to set up. Plus, you have no guarantee your product will even sell. Affiliate marketing lets you easily “try” different offers with your audience to see what works.

3. You can (sometimes) get graphics, swipe copy, and training materials for free!

With affiliate marketing, when YOU earn money, the product creator makes money. Therefore, it’s in their best interest that you do well. For this reason, some companies will provide ready-made professional graphics, swipe copy, and training to help you be as successful as possible.

This is honestly how I learned most of what I know about affiliate marketing! I was an affiliate for some great companies that offered great training. And now, I provide that same training to our affiliates as well — for free! It’s a win-win.

Note: One major negative of affiliate marketing is that you do need a substantial amount of traffic before you start making a substantial income.

This doesn’t mean you should wait until you have a large platform to start, however.

By promoting affiliate offers early, you’re training your audience to buy from you, you’re learning how to sell in an authentic and effective way, and you’re creating assets that will still exist as your site grows.

For example, I wrote posts on the 10 Best Bible Studies for Christian Women and the 5 Best Subscription Boxes for Christian Women YEARS ago. Now, I earn passive income from them month after month, and all I do is update them every few years (when I remember).

Selling products does NOT have to be sleazy or slimy.

People WANT to know about great products that will truly help them. (If there’s an amazing, must-read book out there that would help solve your problems, wouldn’t YOU want to know?)

By recommending your favorite products, you’re saving people time and money while offering them the solutions they’re looking for. That’s not salesy… That’s service!

How to use this list: Do NOT apply for every program. Instead, simply peruse the list and look for a few great options that make sense for your site, that you could feel good recommending.

Where to Find Additional Affiliate Programs

Looking for even more great affiliate programs? Here’s how you can.

1. Search an Affiliate Network by Keyword.

Popular affiliate networks include Commission Junction, Share-a-Sale, and Rakuten. New affiliate programs are added all the time, so you can find one perfect for your niche.

2. Search for a Specific Company or Product

If you already have a company in mind, simply search for that company or product name plus the word “affiliate program.” Some companies have programs, but they aren’t advertised well.

3. Contact your Favorite Companies Directly.

If you can’t find any information online, the company may not have a program or it may be private. You can always email them to check!

4. See What Other Bloggers are Promoting

By U.S. federal law, you have to disclose any affiliate links you share in a conspicuous location. This makes it easy to see what other people are sharing. Do a Google search for:

site:competitorwebsite.com “affiliate”

This will bring up all pages on their website that include the word “affiliate,” including posts that include a phrase like “This post contains affiliate links.”

Every website owner words their disclosures slightly differently, however, so use this as a jumping off point. You can also search words like “sponsored.”

That’s it!

This list is extensive, but not exhaustive. Hopefully, you’ve found some great companies that would be a good fit for your site. Go ahead and sign up and start promoting!
