Affiliate Marketing for Beginners: How to Make Money with Your Blog

 

Affiliate marketing is a quick and easy way to make money without having to create your products and services.

For bloggers, that means you find a product or service that you like, promote it to your readers, and earn commissions (money) from sales.

How to Start Your Affiliate Marketing Business – Promote Only Products You Know

This is the most common way to get started with affiliate marketing

You become an affiliate for something that you’ve used yourself, had a good experience with and it’s useful.

If you’ve found great success from a course or ebook that your readers could also benefit from, it only makes sense for you to spread the word and share your results.

Now simply check to see if the merchant has an affiliate program. Using a search engine like Google, Bing, or simply email the merchant and ask.

Find Products Via an Affiliate Network

If you don’t have any direct experience with or knowledge of products in your niche that could help your readers, you can often find good affiliate products on affiliate networks.

But be careful — this approach requires that you invest time into research and money into purchasing products to try out. When you work through a network, you typically don’t know the merchant.

The list of popular and reliable affiliate networks include ClickBank, CJ Affiliate, the eBay Partner Network, ShareASale, Amazon Associates program, etc. Some networks will even assign you an affiliate manager to help you to make sales. (It’s a Win-Win) You make money – They make money!

Create and Promote Custom and Quality Content

Write Reviews. This is a very effective content marketing strategy to grow your affiliate marketing business.

You can write detailed reviews of products, courses, or software products you promote as an affiliate.

Your reviews can focus on a single product or compare competing for products side-by-side.

The second approach arguably builds more trust, but it also distracts people by giving them a lot of different recommendations.

If you would like to review multiple products, one option is to create a review site where all the content is simply reviews and affiliate offers. It becomes a “one-stop-shop” for your niche.

You can write a definitive, comprehensive post on your site to educate your readers and “soft sell” your products and then work to get it ranking in the search engines.

You could write a useful and high-quality guide to set up a WordPress blog and include your affiliate links to your favorite hosting providers.

Whatever the topic, make sure that it’s evergreen content — information that’s likely to be useful and valuable for years to come.

First Build Trust!

You can create blog posts, videos, infographics or anything similar — but whatever you do, it should not be a sales page. Focus on building trust and authority.

SEO

You need to create an effective SEO strategy. Make sure to optimize for the right keywords, keep WordPress running fast, mobile-friendly site, and build links to your content to get a constant flow of traffic from Google.

Once you’ve gained a respectable following, affiliate marketing is one of the best business models to make money with your blog.

It’s not very difficult to make money with affiliate marketing but you need to know the latest tips and trends to success. Also, you need to work every day. It’s a business, not a hobby!
