Affiliate Marketing Blogs

Hey guys, its Joe again.  Today I’d like to talk about one of the best ways to earn money online, and that’s through affiliate marketing blogs. An affiliate marketing blog is a blog site you setup where you give a review of a product or service in hopes that your visitors will follow the links in your site and eventually purchase the product.

In affiliate marketing, an affiliate is someone who promotes a vendor’s product or service for a commission. So for example, lets say there’s a vendor selling dog collars online and they’ll give you 5% of every sale that you send to their website. As an affiliate marketer you would create an affiliate marketing blog and more or less promote the dog collar product and include links in there where your visitors can go to the vendor’s actual website to make the purchase. The link will be formulated in such a way that the vendor will know the visitor came from your website and you will get a commission if they purchase a product there.

A great way to promote the dog collar on your own affiliate marketing blog site is to write several blog posts reviewing the product and talking about it. You don’t really want to “sell” them the product either, because most times the vendor’s site will already have a sales pitch. The visitor is already looking to buy dog collars, so you really just want to encourage them to go purchase the collars at the vendor site you’re promoting (through your links of course). A good way to do that is by writing about your own actual experience with the product. You want to be honest and truthful too. With the affiliate marketing blogs I create I always get the product first, use it, then give my honest “two-cents” worth.

Affiliate marketing blogs are a great way to earn some money from blogging. There are tons of products out there you can promote, and a very popular place where it’s really easy for you to create an account and start promoting products is through Clickbank.com. They have TONS of digital and “e-book” products. A great product to help you get started with promoting products through Clickbank is George Brown’s Google Sniper system. I bought this system a while back and George is really thorough. He pretty much takes you by the hand and shows you how to create a blog site and sell Clickbank (and other) products quickly and easily.

I hope you found this post interesting and helpful. I’ll be back to talk more about earning money from blogging and creating affiliate marketing blogs, so stick around!

Can I Earn Money By Blogging?

Hey, Joe here. I just wanted to take a moment to answer the question that everyone wants to know… Can I earn money by blogging? You’d think this would be an easy Yes/No answer, but it really depends on the person themselves. The short answer is YES! The long answer is YES, BUT you have to be determined, willing to learn how, go through a lot of trial and error, and apply your lessons learned. So if you’re looking to “get rich quick”, then no, it’s not really going to happen that fast, unless you already have some experience with marketing, already have a website that has lots of visitors, or you just get lucky, etc…

I’ve done my fair share of buying programs thinking ‘This is the ONE’, and dishing out plenty of money in the process, only to find myself struggling and disappointed. Some were great, and others were just a waste of time and money. It’s not as simple as everyone would lead you to believe, but it can be done.

So I’ve been through it, and I’m still going through it. I’ve been making a little bit of money now by blogging, and I thought I would share some of my experiences with you and some of the programs, tips and tricks that worked for me. No, I’m not a multi-million dollar blogger. I’m not even a million dollar blogger. In fact, I’ve only been blogging for money for several months now, and although I’m still not ready to leave my full-time job, I’m just starting to make out pretty well with my blogs.

In the days, weeks and months ahead I’ll be trying to keep this site alive with tips and tricks, my experiences, reviews of programs I’ve tried, tools and resources for making money while blogging, etc… So stick around and lets get busy blogging for money!
