Starting a blog or to start making money is an awesome feeling when it comes to new comers and new starters. Your success as a blogger and Affiliate Marketer depends on many aspects and those are deciding indicators of your working strategy as a blogger.
You don’t have to see only monetization (Income) side of your Blog, but you have to see the developmental perspective as well to keep things coherent and parallel to turn your blog to a profitable online business start-up.
Brief Start-up Guide about Affiliate Marketing
I have talked and written many times about Affiliate Marketing, if you are reading my blog first time, then I would briefly introduce Affiliate Marketing concept for you. In simple words, Affiliate Marketing is a money making process through commission system, and commission comes for referral when he [Affiliate Marketer] gets a sale.
Affiliate Marketing doesn’t only work on Internet; you might have done practically in the past – Think about it, Have you given some fee or commission to the Real Estate agent while buying or taking your residence on rent? You might have contacted sometime to the sales representative who met you for his products or services, and you bought something from his packages or products. All that stuff related to commission making and Affiliate Marketing.

Making Money is so important on your blog. If you don’t keep the money making factor in mind before starting your blog, it would be so tough for you as a starter to mold the strategy later on to monetize your blog.
For example, if a blogger takes a start in blogging, and says that he just wants to blog for fun and entertainment not for making money, and he starts his blog on ‘Perception and Motivation’ when he starts seeing good response on his blog, he gets into the field, and find out that such type of blogs on different subjects and social sciences topics are making money by different means, and he thinks that he should also make money on his blog. Then, it won’t be easy for him to get things started for Earning Money on his blog.
