Snapdeal is not the largest player in E-commerce market-space, but it is a decent size one. And it sure makes sense for you to take a share of its market pie by joining in its affiliate program.

I have made Rs 15,615 in a month from Snapdeal Affiliate Program. Yes, the figure doesn’t look large when compared to Flipkart or Amazon, and that’s simply because Snapdeal is not an as large player as Amazon.

Snapdeal affiliate program is a referral program where you can earn money by promoting Snapdeal’s products on your website/blog.

You need to place Snapdeal’s links on your website/blog and promote the same. once somebody clicks on your link, and visits the site; and also makes a purchase on that visit, then you earn commission as a % of the sales value.

Snapdeal Affiliate Rules

• Advertising through Pop-up/ Pup under windows is strictly prohibited. Pop-ups are a lucrative way of gaining business, so most rookies are bound to try this technique, but Snapdeal prohibits its use. So stay away from all pop’s.
• If you have a mailing list, sending out Snapdeal’s offers to them sounds very tempting, right; but DO NOT do so. Snapdeal clearly mentions that bulk mailers are no going and you are not allowed to send them to promote your affiliate link.
• Paid Ads, yes you can use them to promote your website or blog. But do so with caution. You are NOT ALLOWED to bid on the trademark of Snapdeal or any variations and misspelling of it. This means you can run ads to promote your blog/website with any keywords you wish, except keywords like ‘Snapdeal’ or those related to it, like ‘Snapdeal offers’, ‘Snapdeal’ etc.
• Being a Snapdeal affiliate you might be tempted to create a website or social media username or group name using Snapdeal in it. For example username: Snapdeal_affilaite or website name snapdealoffer.com etc. STOP. You are not allowed to do so. You cannot use Snapdeal’s name on any website, blog, username, group name, etc. This is strictly PROHIBITED.
• You are not allowed to promote your link on illegal audio/ video download site. For this purpose, it’s important to understand, that providing downloads of movie and songs on your website, without the permission of the producer/concerned parties is considered illegal.
