Affiliate marketing is a great way to monetize your blog. When I first started blogging I chose a blog that is an affiliate market blog. Market place blogs give valuable information and recommend products they are promoting as an affiliate.
There are 4 ways this blog does affiliate advertising.
- Banner ads – You can find and buy products I promote by clicking on the display ads in the sidebar of this blog.
- Contextual ads – These adds are placed right in the context of blog posts. When I give information about a certain subject I will often “hyperlink” a subject that will send you to affiliate products.
- I often review a product or course that I am an affiliate of.
- On the side bar you will find the email optin box. I gather email addresses in order to give more great data and to sell my affiliate products.
You can learn to set up an affiliate market blog.
