Pro Tips: How to Make Your First Commission Fast

Getting your first affiliate commission is one of the most exciting milestones in the BYSB Affiliate Program. It shows you that the system works, your effort is paying off, and you’re on the path to building consistent income. The good news? You don’t need a big audience or months of waiting. With the right strategies, you can earn your first commission quickly.

Focus on Your Warm Audience First

Your warm audience is the group of people who already know, like, and trust you. 

Friends, family, co-workers, or your existing social media followers are the easiest people to reach when you’re starting out.

• Share your affiliate link directly in a personal message

• Make a simple post explaining why you joined the program

• Tell your story — people connect with honesty and excitement

Even one person in your warm circle could be your first commission.

Use the Swipe Files to Save Time

Inside the Affiliate Resources Hub, you’ll find swipe posts designed for fast promotion. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel — just:

1. Download the swipe file that fits your audience

2. Copy a post you like

3. Paste it into Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or email

4. Replace [your unique link] with your affiliate link

This lets you start promoting within minutes instead of stressing about what to write.

Post in Groups Where Your Audience Hangs Out

If you’re active in Facebook groups, LinkedIn communities, or online forums, these can be goldmines.

 Share a short story, tip, or insight, then naturally drop your affiliate link.

• Don’t spam — give value first

• Keep your post conversational

• Add your personal experience with BYSB for authenticity

Leverage Curiosity Posts

Instead of “salesy” posts, focus on curiosity. People are more likely to click when they’re intrigued. For example:

• “Just found a program that pays you to share tools for starting an online store — didn’t realize how simple it was.”

• “I made my first $[amount] online this week without running ads. DM me if you’re curious.”

These types of posts feel natural and spark conversations.

Track What Works

Don’t just post and hope. Use your affiliate dashboard to see:

• Which links are getting clicks

• Which posts are creating engagement

• Which strategies are driving actual commissions

Double down on what’s working and adjust what isn’t.

The Bottom Line

Making your first commission doesn’t have to be complicated. 

Start with your warm audience, use the swipe files for speed, and focus on curiosity posts that spark interest. 

The sooner you put your link in front of people, the sooner you’ll see results.

Take action today, and you could be celebrating your first commission this week!
