Bloggers often ask me about this, and I wrote about it briefly last week.
You want to make sure you can make money when you promote an affiliate program or product.
But how do you do that?
Well, one of the best ways is to promote on right on your blog.
It's slower than running paid ads, but it's a good way to start getting used to the process.
All you have to do is find a good offer, then write a blog post reviewing it.
Embed your affiliate link right in your blog post, as part of your review.
Always remind people that it's an affiliate link.
Some people don't like to do that because they think their readers don't like to buy from affiliates.
That might be the case sometimes.
But, first... you still need to disclose that information for legal reasons.
Second... you can structure your affiliate disclosure to be a benefit to your readers.
You do that by introducing a bonus of some sort.
So you could tell people "this is an affiliate link" or...
"when you buy from my affiliate link, I'll also give you my free ebook on..."
You see, in this way, you're not trying to hide the fact that you're an affiliate, you're telling your readers that they can benefit even further since you are an affiliate, and you are offering an affiliate bonus.
Of course, the most important part of this process is to have good offers that people want to buy, and I'll talk more about that in the next part of this series.
Talk soon,
