While affiliate marketing for churches and ministries may sound way too businesslike, it’s nothing more than using a legitimate opportunity to reach and help more people.
As Charity Navigator points out, affiliate programs will give nonprofits “additional, unrestricted revenue.”
Undoubtedly, the best illustration is the former AmazonSmile.
From 2013 – 2023, AmazonSmile generated over $400,000,000 for U.S. nonprofits.
The Cause of Christ offers a similar program, whereby you’ll receive 50% for each purchase.
Incredible deals…
In order to make it appealing for your audience, there are $4.00 book deals that consist of numerous books by a particular author or are about a specific subject.
They are available at Christ-Centered Books, the online bookstore of The Cause of Christ.
As a church or ministry, you may be reluctant in exposing your audience to certain authors and books that aren’t in harmony with your theological convictions.
Granted, not every author and book will perfectly match your theological convictions, even though each author adheres to the essentials of the Christian faith.
That’s why you can have your own “bookstore page,” listing the authors and book deals of your choice.
Reaching and helping more people…
In all seriousness, if your church or ministry could reach and help one extra person, would you do so?
Without question, you’ll be able to reach and help far more than only one extra person through this affiliate program.
For example, The Cause of Christ offers a $100.00 gift card for only $12.00, which gives the buyer all the books at Christ-Centered Books.
While you can certainly do the math, here’s an overview of how much your church or ministry will receive:
100 purchases gives you $600
250 purchases gives you $1,500
500 purchases gives you $3,000
1,000 purchases gives you $6,000
2,500 purchases gives you $15,000
5,000 purchases gives you $30,000
10,000 purchases gives you $60,000
That’s 100% free money!
Through your affiliate dashboard, you can easily see how many have clicked your affiliate link, who has made a purchase, and how much your church or ministry will receive.
There’s complete open and automatic reporting.
As stated before, while affiliate marketing for churches and ministries may sound way too businesslike, it’s nothing more than using a legitimate opportunity to reach and help more people.
