CBD Affiliate Marketing Program

Just about everyone has heard about CBD these days. As a more widely-accepted pain reliever, CBD - short for “cannabidiol” - is a component derived from the hemp plant that provides incredible health benefits for its users. From treating muscle aches, cancer-related symptoms, anxiety, and more, CBD is becoming a wonderdrug with virtually no side effects. Best of all, most states have approved its usage as an analgesic, casting off the stigma of the cannabis plant’s undesirable effects resulting from THC - the psychoactive component that affects many users negatively.

With such a glowing profile, CBD is quickly becoming a highly-sought after solution for nearly every demographic. Consider the following statistics about the current and forecasted CBD market:

• Future predictions have set the CBD market to explode to a $20 billion dollar industry by 2024.
• Other forecasts we’ve analyzed put the cannabidiol industry at over $90 billion dollars globally by 2026.
• Currently, 40 states in the United States permit CBD to be sold legally - with the remaining 10 currently working towards legalization.

With these projections, it’s no wonder everyone wants to get into this industry in one way or another.

The challenge with CBD are the regulatory requirements that make entering the market quite prohibitive – from restrictive merchant processing that’s at nearly 2 points higher than traditional credit card processing to advertising restrictions imposed by Google and Facebook, it’s quite surprising to see how many new entrants there are to the scene.

The much more prudent and potentially lucrative path that is free of the headache of the current regulatory environment for CBD is affiliate marketing.

What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is just a fancy way of saying that you promote a brand via various channels and, if a sale is made, you earn a commission in return. It’s really that simple!

It is important to note that affiliate marketing is NOT a form of Network Marketing, Direct Sales or working on behalf of a shady MLM company. Instead, affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing, where a business rewards their affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate's own marketing efforts.

WillowCBD is a company that offers entrepreneurs the ability to hop on this trend and earn unprecedented profits. By referring customers to WillowCBD’s line of CBD products, affiliates earn a percentage and help spread the word about the beneficial aspects of regular CBD usage.

The Benefits of Affiliate Marketing and CBD Products

Affiliate marketing is beneficial for both entrepreneurs and product companies like WillowCBD, creating a larger brand awareness that draws in customers that would otherwise be inaccessible to companies alone. And as the audience grows, entrepreneurs gain repeat sales from repeat customers and people that are curious to try WillowCBD’s products.

The following are some of the benefits that affiliate marketers will enjoy by working with WillowCBD:

• Affiliate marketing enables a low barrier of entry for entrepreneurs looking to sell CBD. Instead of buying products or providing an initial investment, WillowCBD handles the laborious process of sourcing the hemp, isolating the CBD from the other compounds, maintaining a robust eCommerce platform, and more. This means that affiliates are solely in charge of promoting WillowCBD’s products to their friends, family, audience, and clientele.
• Working with WillowCBD frees you from the regulatory hurdles such as merchant processing and advertising restrictions that make it much more challenging than a traditional business to operate. Your only responsibility as an affiliate is to drive traffic towards the target website in question in order to generate a sale for the brand.
• Unlimited earning potential is another great benefit of affiliate marketing with WillowCBD. By promoting our line of CBD products, you’ll see a direct result of your efforts. The better you advertise and pursue new sales leads, the more you can earn.
• WillowCBD offers a wide variety of high-quality non-GMO hemp oil products that have provided thousands of individuals with risk-free relief of chronic ailments and discomfort. Whether your customers are looking for oil, cream, or gummies, there are plenty of options to fit every customer preference. Regardless of age, nearly anyone can feel a significant and positive difference from our products.
• WillowCBD understands that generating sales leads and web traffic is a significant investment of time and effort, so we’ve broken the mold and offer our affiliates 25% of every sale. Other CBD product companies and suppliers offer lower rates - even as low as 15%. Most CBD brands in the industry offer around 15% commission but we’d like to offer a more attractive rate that fairly rewards every sale that you refer to WillowCBD.
• Instead of working a 9-5 job to generate income, advertising WillowCBD’s products can be done on your own schedule and convenience. This frees up individuals from the grind while also giving you the flexibility to make money when you see fit.
• Affiliates that promote other products or services gain alternate streams of income from recommending WillowCBD’s products during the course of their work. Some of the most common individuals that can cross-promote CBD include:
  • Personal trainers
  • Homeopaths
  • Nutritionists
  • Physicians/Medical Practitioners
  • And more
• Unlike other forms of affiliate marketing, CBD doesn’t require you to sell products that you don’t believe in or that may be harmful to others. CBD is a safe alternative to many prescribed medications and over-the-counter medicine.
• WillowCBD offers an intuitive and personalized dashboard that allows you to track your sales and view your commissions at any time.

• When you refer people to your unique WillowCBD link and they make a purchase of our line of CBD products, you will be paid 25% of their purchases.

How Can I Promote Affiliate Links?

Once you’ve been approved to be part of the Willow CBD affiliate program, it is time to start promoting your links to provide potential customers with products.

Events such as farmer’s markets or pop-up shops are also great ways to engage customers in person and earn commissions.

How Much Can You Earn from CBD Affiliate Marketing?

“How much can I earn?” is a common question among those looking to earn money through affiliate marketing.
