Getting started with the Bunny Affiliate Program: Best practices

You love bunny.net and want to share it with the world? Awesome! The Bunny Affiliate Program is here to help you do just that and earn some sweet rewards while you’re at it. Whether you’re new to affiliate marketing or a seasoned pro, here’s a simple, step-by-step guide to get you hopping in the right direction.

Step 1: Know your audience

Before you start spreading the hop, take a breath and ask yourself who you’re talking to. The better you understand your audience, the easier it is to show how bunny.net can help them hop ahead. And the more carrots you’ll collect along the way.

Here are a few common examples:

Game devs facing dragging updates? Suggest Bunny CDN that delivers patches and updates at lightning speed.
Bloggers or small businesses frustrated with slow-loading sites? Show them how Bunny CDN speeds things up globally.
Developers building web apps or media-heavy sites? Recommend Bunny Storage + CDN for simple, blazing-fast delivery.

Tip: Shape your message to fit the moment. A quick tweet for devs isn’t the same as a YouTube deep dive for content creators. Meet people where they are, and speak to what they care about.

Example scenarios (Steal these!)

Here’s how you can turn everyday conversations into affiliate wins:

Online course creators / EdTech platforms:
“My course videos used to buffer like crazy for some students. Since switching to bunny.net, everything streams smoothly even halfway across the world.”
Tech blog post:
“I recently switched my blog to Bunny CDN and load times dropped by xy%. Here’s how you can do it too (affiliate link).”
Developer forum reply:
“If you're looking for a fast and reliable way to serve static files or video, I’ve had great results using bunny.net.”

Quick tips for maximum impact

Be specific: Don’t just say it’s great. Share what changed and how that impact showed up.
Speak in your own voice: Authentic beats polished. Your real experience goes further than any sales pitch.
Show the results: Speed tests, before-and-afters, real numbers. That’s what builds trust and gets people’s attention.

Start small! One audience. One use case. One post. Share your story, add your link, and watch what happens. You might be surprised how fast the Bunny word gets around.

Step 2: Pick your channels

Now that you know who you're talking to, let’s talk about where. There are tons of great places to share your bunny.net affiliate link. Just pick the ones that fit your style.

1. Blog about Bunny

Got a blog? Sweet! That’s the perfect place to share how bunny.net helped you and how it can help your readers hop ahead too.

How: Write a post like “5 Ways I Made My Website Blazing Fast” or a step-by-step tutorial.
Pro tip: Add your affiliate link where it fits naturally. No need to hard-sell. Just focus on telling your story.
Example:
“I shaved 5 seconds off my site’s load time with bunny.net. Visitors don’t even have time to blink! Want to try it too? Here’s what I used: [your link].”

2. Create a YouTube video or vlog

Prefer talking to typing? Video is gold, especially when you can show how bunny.net performs.

How: Record a tutorial, review, or even a casual “how I fixed my slow site” story.
Pro tip: Say your affiliate link out loud during the video and include it in the description.
Example:
“My site used to crawl. Seriously. But then I found bunny.net. It’s been a total game changer. Want to see what I mean? Link’s below!”

3. Share on social media

Whether you’re into Twitter (X), Instagram, TikTok, or LinkedIn, your followers might love a speed boost too.

4. Email your friends or mailing list

Got a newsletter or some tech-savvy friends? Send a friendly heads-up about your favorite new tool.

How: Keep it personal and helpful, like a tip you'd give your best friend.
Pro tip: Include a quick story or example of how bunny.net helped you.
Example email snippet:
“Hey! I found a service that made my site way faster. It’s called bunny.net, super easy to use, and crazy fast. Thought you might want to try it too: [your link].”

5. Join the conversation in online communities

Reddit, Discord, Facebook groups, and forums are places where people talk about tech, streaming, or websites. Wherever that happens, there’s an opportunity.

How: Jump into threads where someone’s struggling with slow load times or video issues. Share what worked for you.
Pro tip: Be genuinely helpful. That builds trust (and clicks).
Example comment:
“Totally had the same issue. bunny.net helped me drop my load time from 6s to under 2s. Might be worth a try: [your link].”

Mix and match!

You don’t have to be everywhere. Just pick 1–2 channels where you feel comfortable and start there. Track what works and scale from there.

Step 3: Nail your message

No matter where you're sharing, blog, video, tweet, or TikTok, it’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it. That’s what makes people click.

Here’s how to make your message land:

Be real

People can spot a sales pitch from a mile away, but they’ll listen to a real story.

Share your journey: What problem did you face, and how did bunny.net help?
Keep it casual: Write like you're texting a friend, not writing an ad.

Example:

"My videos used to buffer all the time. Switched to bunny.net and haven’t had issues since!"

Make the value shine

Make it clear what’s in it for them. Highlight real benefits, like:

Speeding up websites
Buffer-free video streaming
Reliable, low-latency file storage
ools developers actually enjoy using

Try this:

"Need a faster site without the tech headache? bunny.net is made for that."

Add a natural call-to-action

Guide your audience toward action, but do it like a helpful friend, not a pushy salesperson.

Swap this: "Click this amazing link now!"

For this: "Want to speed up your site too? Check out what worked for me." or this "Give it a try. I think you'll love how smooth your site gets."

Use numbers (they're powerful)

People love results. If you have real improvements, share them!

“Cut my load time by 3 seconds.”
“Pages now load 60% faster.”
“My bounce rate dropped by 25% after switching to bunny.net.”

Example Post:

“It’s faster, costs less, and it’s quick and easy to set up. If you’re interested, here’s my link.”

Step 4: Track your progress

You’ve put your bunny.net link out into the world, nice work! 🐇 Now it’s time to see how it’s doing.

Just hop over to the Affiliate section in your bunny.net dashboard, and you’ll find all the juicy stats you need:

Referrals: See how many people clicked your link and signed up.
Rewards: Track how much carrot power you’ve racked up!
Payouts: Request a payout or add your affiliate carrots to your Bunny balance.

Step 5: Experiment, test, and have fun!

The best part? You don’t need to get it perfect on the first try. In fact, trying new things is half the fun and the secret to long-term success.

Here’s how to keep things fresh and effective:

A/B test
Try two versions of a tweet, video title, or blog headline. See which one gets more clicks, and learn what your audience loves!
Engage with your people
Got questions or comments? Drop a reply, say thanks, or ask for feedback. Building trust = more conversions.
Stay consistent
Share often! A quick tip today, a story next week, a follow-up video later, it all adds up.

Example ideas to test:
A side-by-side “before and after” speed test video
A tweet thread breaking down “How I fixed my slow website in 3 steps”
An Instagram Reel showing your setup with Bunny Stream in action

That’s a wrap!

With these steps under your belt, you're ready to hop into the Bunny Affiliate Program with confidence. Remember, it’s not about being perfect, it’s about being genuine, helpful, and a little creative.

So go ahead. Share your story, track your progress, try new things, and have fun while you earn!
