How to Get started with Dreamhost Affiliate Program?
To get started with this, Sign up for their affiliate program. Once you are signed up with their aff. program, login to their panel and click on reward tab to grab your dreamhost affiliate link. Now promote that link via Blog Post or Send it via Email list you have created and tell people about this web-hosting.
If you have not created any promo code, you will be making 97$/sale.
How much Money you can make from Dreamhost affiliate?
I have been a Dreamhost Affiliate from long time (2008-2014) and I had a great success with their program and till now I have made almost $8679 with their affiliate program. Dreamhost pays by check and by PayPal.(for India, they make payment via cheque only). Once you become their premium publisher, you will be able to checkout your affiliate income every month. Also, you will be getting special Dreamhost promo code for people who are signing up for more than 2 years. They are certainly one of the best Webhosting affiliate program, as you can decide your own commission from $97/sale.
You can either offer a discount coupon worth $97, which I offer to readers (GDOI97) but your commission will be 0 then, or you can give a discount of $50, and keep a commission of $47.
For now, I’m Over all happy with Dreamhost affiliate as they pay in time and their affiliate control panel give enough stats. They make Payment via PayPal and Check. For Indian affiliates, you need to get the payment by check. Once you become a premium affiliate (5+ sales), you will be able to checkout money at the end of every month. The best thing is, Dreamhost offers 3 tier affiliate. That means, if your sub affiliate make any sense, you will be getting extra $5/referral.
How to generate Dreamhost
Promo code & Promote Affiliate
Program
To get started with, if you have not joined their affiliate, you can join now and it’s free.
So I assume by now you have an affiliate account with Dreamhost and using your credential, login to dreamhost panel.
How to Create Dreamhost Discount code for your Blog readers?
One of the best method which you can use with Dreamhost aff. Program is they allow you to create a promo code, using this you can offer discount to your readers. You can generate maximum discount up to $97. Though I suggest create discount coupon for $50 maximum as this will help you to make money.
Once you are inside Panel, click on rewards button at the right to create a promo code. Click on Create your own promo code at the bottom of the page.
Click on Create a new Promo code. You can also see all the promo code which you have created till now:
First thing which I would do is create a promo code with Meaningful name. In the past I have created SML50, SML97 for Shoutmeloud and so on for other blogs. You might like to use some name, which you can easily recall and related to your brand.
You have option to add extra goodies like extra domain name, private IP and so on. Though this will decrease your affiliate income.
Dreamhost let you get a maximum of $97 commission every sale. So if you are giving a discount of $50, for every sale you will be making $47. I usually support creating a promo code for $50 discount.
Once you have entered all required field, click on Create this promo code now. You will see Promo code successfully generated message or if that promo code already exist, you will be asked to select some other name.
Linking Promo code to your Affiliate link:
When you will login to your Panel and click on Rewards tab, you will be seeing your affiliate link.
So in this case my affiliate link is http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?1634702. Now all I need to do is add my promo code after my Aff. link. So for Example to link my GDOI97 promo code, which offer $40 discount, I will use this link:
So now when ever a user will sign up this promo code will be used and he will get $50 discount on Hosting. So all you need to do is, after your aff. link add |promocode
Why $50 Promo code?
Some time back I created Dremahost $97 discount code which is the maximum discount one can offer. Many readers signed up with that code (GDOI97) to get $97 discount but they received only $50 discount.
Dreamhost Customer care guy added that for certain region maximum possible discount is $50. So instead of creating a false alarm for your readers, create $50 discount code as Dreamhost guys are not revealing which countries are eligible for $97 discount and which countries for $50 discount.
How to promote Dreamhost Affiliate Program
So by now you know how to create a promo code and add your Dreamhost promo code into your aff. link. Now to promote Dreamhost program:
