Affiliate marketing Malaysia – what is it all about?
If you’ve never heard of affiliate marketing, now you have.
Affiliate marketing is when you get commission by referring others to a merchant. If you’ve ever asked for recommendation or given one, you’ve already participated in a form of referral marketing. The only difference with affiliate marketing is that you get paid for it.
Here’s a very good blog post about what affiliate marketing is all about. Do read it if you like to get some idea about affiliate marketing Malaysia and the potential to make money online in Malaysia. It’s also a great way to make some passive income in Malaysia online.
Affiliate Program Malaysia
Start by getting to know affiliate program Malaysia which includes the well known few programs as below:
- Shopee affiliate program Malaysia
- Lazada affiliate program Malaysia
- ACCESSTRADE
- Involve Asia
There are a few affiliate program in Malaysia, but it’s pretty tedious and most of the time you’ll get rejected if you apply directly with the merchant. The best bet is to go with an affiliate network. There are a few in Malaysia, but the one I have good experience with is ACCESSTRADE.
ACCESSTRADE Malaysia
ACCESSTRADE is an affiliate program or network whereby you apply once then gain access to all the famous merchant campaigns. Brands like Shopee, Lazada, RinggitPlus, Zalora etc are all included.
I managed to apply and get approved almost immediately with ACCESSTRADE. Most of the campaigns that you apply to inside ACCESSTRADE Malaysia would get approved almost immediately, so you can get the links or banner ads and start promoting and making money online.

Successful affiliate marketers can earn a lucrative side income just by promoting what they use to their followers.
Involve Asia
Involve Asia is another affiliate network heavyweight and is suitable for publishers or affiliate marketers looking to earn some income promoting well-known brands in Malaysia and regionally. They’ve been around a bit longer than ACCESSTRADE.
Involve Asia’s dashboard is slightly more advanced compared to ACCESSTRADE’s. In terms of earning potential, I haven’t had any experience earning with this affiliate network compared to ACCESSTRADE. But I’m pretty sure they are a solid choice as well especially for publishers, content creators or influencers with more traffic.
Affiliate Marketing Malaysia: Potential As Lucrative Side Income
There’s a case study on a micro influencer with just 3000+ followers who managed to earn an extra RM500 monthly just by doing reviews on fashion and cosmetics. I’m sure with your reach, your potential earning could be significantly higher.
If you have many followers, why not get some side income by promoting products you tried and love to your followers? Not only you can share something useful, get paid for it every time your followers buy through your link!
