Affiliate Marketing is a fantastic way to monetize website or blog to earn money online. You might have heard or search about Affiliate Marketing, So how it would work if you turn to be an affiliate marketer? People who know blogging or making money on websites little bit try to search money making blogging or how to make money on blogs. This post will help by teaching an angle of money making online and earning money on blogs and websites. I prefer earning money on blogs rather than websites because in order to run a website you need to be a full-fledged web developer to make and run a website but you can run and manage a blog without knowing web development and coding stuff.
Affiliate Marketing is a result for me after two struggling and brainstorming years in order to be a successful blogger. I started off blogging on blogspot, turned to WordPress platform in 2009 and without knowing much, I kept on working on blogs. I curse on myself sometimes that I wasted a lot of time but at the same time, I feel satisfied that at least I am somewhere now. I know Affiliate Marketing now, I have started a proper professional blog, I know niche blogging now. I don’t care about Google Adsense now. So these things are kind of motivating for me.
Why Affiliate Marketing is so awesome?
After every few days I met people who just have traditional and old thinking and they don’t understand blogging. Recently, my Uncle told me to apply for a job in a bank and I told them that I am a blogger, I run my blog so I am not in the position to start a job. My blog needs my time, focus and hard work. So he replied, there is no future in blogging, you are wasting your time. I thought, just F…. No I did not think that!
Actually I did not think anything, I listened to him calmly and after sometime I stepped out of the room. Next morning I convinced my other Uncle who is a professor in a reputable University of the country, to start a blog as soon as possible. It took me 30 minutes to tell my experience and learning of 2 years. I explained to him that:
How I started off and what I did not know in the start of blogging career
How blogging works?
Niche Selection and areas of interest importance in blogging
How I learned about Affiliate Marketing
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Why Affiliate Marketing is the best way to start making money online?
The First uncle I was telling who was saying me to start a bank job is almost 60, and second one who was convinced by me was 37, So I thought, Its okay for a 60-years-old retired banker who does not want to understand blogging and thinks there is no career in blogging, and the person who is 37-years-old professor who finds blogging an innovative way to earn money and leave job after few years.
How you can start Affiliate Marketing?
I am coming straight to the point that how you can get benefit from Affiliate Marketing and how you can get the most out of it?
The concept of Affiliate Marketing is simple, all you need is to understand that you are going to discuss a specific product or service of your interest on your blog and you are expecting related searchers or potential buyers of that product or service to visit and buy that product/service with your reference, so that you earn commission on the sales.
This looks pretty simple! It took more than 2 years to understand it and technically reaching to this point wasn’t easy, and two years back was the time, where I started realizing about Affiliate Marketing and moving a step ahead of pay per click ads. Before that, I also had no idea about Affiliate Marketing, Google Affiliate network, what is an affiliate, blog for money, money making on blog and affiliate review.
It doesn’t mean that you should panic. You certainly should not! Keep things simple and straight. You need to understand Affiliate Marketing and then focus on the plan.
You must see my older post on Affiliate Marketing to learn basics of Affiliate Marketing, See this: What is Affiliate Marketing and how to earn money with Affiliate Marketing?
As I was telling the concept of Affiliate Marketing, once you have decided any product/service to pick for your Affiliate Marketing blog, then you need to proceed with the content making. There is no problem if you study and research on your blogging topic for a month or 15 days and then launch your blog. If you are new in the field, you should get help from web development or blogging expert to install and make your blog online.
Lets suppose you choose men’s jeans as your topic for your Affiliate Marketing blog and you have to make sure that you like jeans to wear, if you don’t like then you shouldn’t select this topic. I always encourage the product/service you like or you have extensive knowledge about it. So you like jeans and you are targeting men who like jeans and want to buy men’s jeans online. Your men’s jeans blog would be focusing on:
Men’s Jeans Styles
Latest Jeans Fashion
Tips to Buy Jeans
Jeans and Shirts Combination guides
Best Jeans brands guides
Tips to buy jeans in cheap prices
Colors and designs in men’s jeans
Men’s jeans brands and designers updates
Purpose of highlighting these topics is to give you the clear idea of content generation. You should understand the related topics of your main topic and product/service to attract target audience of your affiliate marketing blog. Your Affiliate Marketing product on this blog would be men’s jeans, so it means you are referring your visitors to the jeans brands or retailers you are working with for Affiliate Marketing. You can join some big jeans retailers directly, if they are offering affiliate programs, you should check their websites for affiliate programs, if you don’t find any, then you should go for affiliate programs of big stores and shopping sites like Amazon, Target, Costco and Wal-Mart.
Conclusion
You can be a successful Affiliate Marketer, if you choose the right product/service and work delicately on your Affiliate Marketing blog. Understanding the concept of Affiliate Marketing is necessary, you must know that you have to make your blog successful first in order to attract many customers and to refer through your blog so that you earn commission from those referrals. If you launch your Affiliate Marketing blog and expect some sales after 1 month, its not possible in all cases, it can happen in rare cases but normally sales take time to start because in first 6 months, your blog remains in the starting phase and search engines keep on checking your blog for giving some authority and search engine ranking. You must know about content development and its importance, being a blogger, never compromise on the quality of your content and web hosting. A best web hosting and top rated web hosting company should be preferred to host the blog.
