There are some affiliate marketing blogs that earned a considerable amount every year without selling anything and have only one or two ads in the sidebar. These blogs are doing well and they are making money without aggressively selling or advertising to their audience. If you are an affiliate marketer and have a blog that you want to make money from, there are ways to earn some decent cash.
I know my introduction sounds crazy when I say, you can earn from your blog with too much advertising and selling. But some people really do, they make money by just being smart and having a good affiliate links. In the blogging word, blogger can earn from advertisements on their website. They can also earn from text link ads and from product reviews. But if you take away the main purpose of the blog, would you still earn?
What is the main purpose of a blog anyway? Is it just to make money for you or provide excellent content to your readers? I say the latter as the income derived from your website is the plus side of having a website. So, what’s my point? If you can write excellent content and could draw people into your affiliate marketing blog because of what you have to say and offer to your audience the potential to make money online is limitless. Now that I have explained my reasons for saying those things let’s proceed to what I believe effective affiliate marketing for a blog.
Below are the principles that I know have worked on some affiliate marketing blog.
1. First Impression Is Important In Affiliate Marketing
Believe it or not, first impression has a huge impact to your visitors and their entire experience in your website. If your website sends signal that all you want from your audience is their money they will never come back, worst they will not even consider what you have to offer.
Some affiliate marketers blog fail miserably because they are asking people to buy something from them without first explaining what they are offering. It is important that you first built trust so your audience will share to you what they want. Once you have done that, they are the one who will ask you what you can give them.
2. Promote Only Affiliate Products You Have Tried
You want to make money online through affiliate marketing then promote only affiliate links you have personally tried or used. You can succeed if you only promote products that you have used and would want your friends and family to use. Audience will feel more confident on your products if they know you are using what you are promoting.
3. Create Post that Drive Your Affiliate Links
Providing proper description to your product is important. But your content should also drive your affiliate links. Most importantly, never write content for the mere sake of placing your link with the article. Quality content is important in World Wide Web for your posts to reach a lot of people.
4. Share Personal Knowledge
People are always intrigued with another person’s failure and success. So, when promoting your affiliate link, it is best that you share a little bit of your experience to connect with your readers. It is always interesting to read how someone succeeds in affiliate marketing or any business. And taking advantage of people’s curiosity is a good idea when promoting your product.
5. Test Until You Find What Works
You will never really know what products will bring you the most money until you have tried promoting your product. Testing to see which products works and not to get rid of non-performing product is crucial to your success. After all, why continue wasting your time and effort on products you already know will not pay out in the end.
6. Take Advantage of Tools or Resources Page
The tools or resource page is perfect for promoting affiliate links so don’t ignore them. People who are looking for additional resources will love you even more if you can provide more resources that could help them.
