From One Mama to Another: Why I Started with Shopify

Hey mama 💕—I see you. You want to be present with your little ones, but also feel the pull to contribute financially. I felt the same way. I didn’t want to miss first steps or bedtime snuggles just to chase a paycheck. That’s when I discovered affiliate marketing—and more specifically, Shopify.

When I started looking for affiliate programs, I was overwhelmed. So many options, so many platforms. But one stood out not only for its easy setup but also for the high compensation—and that’s why I chose Shopify.

Why You Should Choose Affiliate Programs That Pay More

If you're just starting out in affiliate marketing, here's a tip: not all affiliate programs are created equal. Some offer only a few dollars per sale, while others—like Shopify—offer recurring commissions and higher payouts. Why work harder for pennies when you can work smarter?

5 Reasons Shopify Is the Best Platform to Promote

  1. High Commission Potential
    Shopify’s affiliate program offers up to $150 per referral. That means one good blog post or pin can bring in real income.

  2. Beginner-Friendly
    You don’t need to be techy. Shopify offers step-by-step guides, and even I (with zero design background) got it up and running.

  3. Trusted by Real Businesses
    Over millions of online stores run on Shopify—from small mom brands to big-name businesses.

  4. Tons of Product Types You Can Sell
    Your referrals can sell physical products, digital downloads, print-on-demand items, or even services.

  5. It Converts Well
    The platform does the heavy lifting. Once someone clicks your link, Shopify’s built-in marketing and onboarding makes it easy for them to say “yes.”

What You Can Sell on Shopify (And What Your Audience Will Love)

Whether you're talking to other moms, creatives, or crafters—Shopify lets your audience sell:

  • Handmade goods (Think Etsy vibes but on their own site)

  • Digital products (ebooks, templates, courses)

  • Dropshipping items (zero inventory!)

  • Print-on-demand (mugs, shirts, journals—all automated)

  • Subscriptions or services (think meal plans, coaching, or even virtual tutoring)

Real Moms, Real Results

Let me share a few success stories to inspire you:

SAHM who started a Shopify store selling digital homeschool planners. She now brings in $3,000/month—all from her laptop during nap time.

2. The Crafty Sister Duo
They used Pinterest and Instagram to promote their Shopify store full of handmade jewelry. In their first holiday season, they hit $10K in sales.

You Don’t Need to Be an Expert—You Just Need to Start

I know it’s scary. I know it’s new. But mama, if I can do this with a diaper bag in one hand and coffee in the other—you can too.
