How to Make Money from a Blog – Affiliate Programs

Affiliate SignupOne of the fastest and easiest ways to make money from your blog is to sign up for various affiliate programs. This article will discuss which are the best affiliate programs to sign up for, how much money can you make and how to actually incorporate them into your blog.

What are the most popular affiliate programs?

Clickbank

This is the most popular affiliate program. It has over 10,000 affiliate products to choose from and the commissions go up to 75%…most are less than this. You can sign up for a free account at clickbank.com. You will receive an affiliate name which you use to promote a product. To select a product visit the clickbank market place and enter a keyword or select your category from the drop down box.

Once you’ve selected a product click the affiliate link at the bottom of the home page. This is where you get your affiliate code to create the affiliate link for selling the product. Sometimes vendors will provide text, banners, email messages, etc to help affiliates promote their products.

Insert the banner or text link on your web page then upload it to the server and test to see if it works.
To help promote the product use some descriptive text. To entice your visitor to take action offer them a free report.

Commission Junction

Commission Junction is one of the worlds largest affiliate marketplace for physical products. Even if you have no web site you can set up a Google AdWords campaign using Pay Per Click and start selling your product in a few hours.

An Example of a Successful Affiliate Program

The best affiliate program I have experienced is the 5 Pillar Affiliate Program from Ken Envoy.

It’s been hailed as “the best affiliate program on the Net.”

By becoming a 5 Pillar Affiliate, you will:

* Earn $75 commission for each Site Build It! (“SBI!”) subscription.
* Get paid annual commission on each and every SBI! renewal with their lifetime customer policy.
* Even earn commissions from 2 tiers of income through sales made by your own team of affiliates.

Site Build It! is software that not only enables anyone to build a professional web site but it also drives traffic to it with marketing tools that are integrated within the software.

Over half of Site Build It! owners purchase more than one SBI! (some over 10!). Since the customer is yours for a lifetime, you earn commissions on those multiple sales. And, of course, on their renewals, too!

So your 5 Pillar earnings really add up, fast.

The beauty of marketing affiliate products is that you create multiple passive incomes streams that become hands free once they are set up.

  5. Affiliate Marketing is one of the ways that bloggers earn money blogging. Although the amount of cash a blogger will produce with affiliate marketing differs, lots of individuals discover affiliate marketing a most profitable enterprise. How much cash brought in is dependent upon certain ingredients as the measure of traffic a blog receives, along with the specific affiliate marketing deal. Affiliates give a link to another company’s site and are generally paid for a certain act, based on the deal. The basis for compensation could be a sale, a click, or perhaps signing up for an item by giving their name and e-mail address.
