Make Money from Affiliate Programs

Posted by admin on Feb 2, 2009 in Monetization |

Welcome again my blog readers. Today we continue our discussion of monetization methods with today being about affiliate programs. After yesterday’s discussion you should have AdSense on your blog now and today we will add another way to make money from the visitors on your blog. Let us begin.

Affiliate Programs Have a Lot to Offer

They really do have a ton to offer. First of all affiliate programs allow you to make so much more money then by conventional advertisements can produce. Just one affiliate sale can make more then 10x as little as a month’s worth of clicks through AdSense, figuring you get only a few dollars a month. That’s also assuming you make only $10-20 per sale but there are some affiliate programs you can promote that make upwards of $100 a sale.

The two places that I would reccomend you use to promote programs are Commision Junction and Clickbank. These are by far the best programs on the internet for you to have access to many different programs to promote. The difference is CJ is primarily services such as web hosting and other online services but also have some other items and Clickbank has a lot of info products and applications to help you. Depending on your niche one may be better suited for you then the other but you should definitely check out both to see what they offer. Just know that if you are the in make moey niche that your sales could be stolen by people who actually buy the products and get a commission to their own account even though they ordered it through your link. It’s a complicated process that they do it by and I don’t really understand it so just know that you are at risk of losing sales if you use Clickbank products.

Whichever one you use it is easy to implement them into your site. CJ generally has banner advertisements that you can use while Clickbank only has links but you can integrate links into posts and your blogroll. If you have banners you can easily put them onto your site via the AdSense Manager plugin that we used to get our AdSense ads onto our site. It’s just as easy as copy and past like before and them add them wherever you want. That’s all you have to do to get your links onto your blog, either add the banners or place links in your posts or blogroll.

Now we have yet another way to make money from our blogs. This is really awesome because once we have a way to make money then we are more likely to actually get that money that we have been working for. I hope that you guys start seeing some results soon.
