Do your homework. Before you commit to becoming an affiliate, you should search online for information on the company to make sure that customers and other affiliates have not filed complaints against the company. The Better Business Bureau and online forums are good places to start. This helps to ensure that you're representing a reputable company that fulfills clients' orders and pays its affiliates.

Market, sell and earn commissions. After you're approved as an affiliate, your next step is to start marketing the products to sell and earn commissions. Some affiliates focus their efforts to online marketing techniques while others combine online and offline efforts. Some companies provide their affiliates with marketing items such as a website, brochures, business cards and other marketing materials to help them succeed. Other companies rely on you to create and implement your own marketing. In order to track the business that originates from your efforts, companies will assign an affiliate code and link to you. When customers use your link or code, you receive credit for the sale.

For example, if a customer buys a $100 necklace from your affiliate link and your commission is 50 percent, you will receive a $50 commission payment as an affiliate.

Tips & Warnings
To receive affiliate approval, some affiliate programs require that you have an established website or blog related to jewelry. Affiliate program companies may require affiliate sites to have a minimum number of visitors to an established website or blog to get approved.
You will have to make an effort to market and drive traffic to the jewelery affiliate program to increase sales and your commission. It takes more than building a website or blog to continuously find ways to drive traffic, gather leads and convert the leads into paying customers.
