Tip of the Day: Affiliate Profile Images

February 22, 2017 by ShareASale Author

The ability to add your own personal brands logo or an image of yourself to your Affiliate account on ShareASale is a great way to gain recognition for your brand. 

You will look more credible in the eyes of Merchants, as you have an established image that you put out to the Affiliate Marketing industry. This also helps your audience connect with you, as a recognizable brand is a smart strategy to gain your own followers. Your readers shop the Merchants on your site as you promote them, which in turn, makes you more attractive to ShareASale Merchants.

A fairly new feature, Affiliates can now add a 500×500 logo or photo to their accounts. We have two great examples from two ShareASale Affiliates below. Both are fantastic bloggers and use a large brand logo that has led to higher recognition from their Merchants.

This is how a Merchant sees Affiliates on ShareASale. Having a brand logo or photo really makes you stand out compared to an Affiliate without one!

Logo Tips

  • Good Color Schemes
  • Be Original
  • Readable Typography
  • High Resolution

A fine profile logo example comes from Jana from MerlotMommy.com. Her logo stands out with a bold color scheme, a strong font, and the imagery of the wine for the “O” really helps it to “pop” off the page.

 

Headshot Tips

A great headshot should include these four standards:

  • The picture should suit you (no need for a “glamour” shot, keep it simple and classy)
  • Good lighting and background
  • Look comfortable
  • “All About The Eyes”

Our example for a first-rate headshot comes from Leticia of Tech Savvy Mama. A warm, colorful photo that showcases the subject clearly and fashionably. A bright smile can convey confidence and friendliness to both Merchants and customers alike!

How to Recover from Blogging Burnout
Bloggers are some of the hardest working people out there (we could be a little biased). Many bloggers maintain their blogs in addition to a 9-to-5, full-time job. That means at the end of the day they don’t come home and “chill.” They don’t sit on the couch and veg out or relax…
