Make Money Blogging with Affiliate Programs
by Danny Warner
Blogs are the perfect method to quickly and easily make money on the
Internet. A lot of people have caught onto this concept, and it's not
surprising that blogs on everything from knitting to compost gardening have
sprung up online. However, most people trying to make money from blogs are
doing it wrong. For this reason, a lot of people fail to realize the money
making potential of blogging and write it off as another Internet fad. This
belief is far from the truth.
First, you need to understand the power of Affiliate Programs and how
they can take a blog from a hobby to a money making machine. Affiliate
programs are one of the most important factors in making money with blogs.
An affiliate program will pay you anytime someone purchases a product
through your affiliate link. These programs are perfect for anyone wanting
to run a home-based business without a lot of hassle. You don't need to
carry inventory, handle the money transaction or deal with customer support
issues. You simply send traffic to the sales page for the given product and
let that page do the selling. And there are affiliate programs for every
type of product imaginable.
You can sign up for an affiliate program directly or you can join through
an Affiliate Program Provider (APP). APPs are a third party provider that
collect payment and provide reporting for affiliate providers and their
affiliates. AAPs are completely free to join and once you sign up you can
promote ebooks and other products immediately.
Clickbank is an affiliate program provider that only sells downloadable
products, like software and ebooks. Clickbank remains one of the most
popular APP because of its ease of use and the popularity of information
products. The Internet is fueled by people's search for information on
specific topics. Ebooks are a natural tie-in to the blogging. When you blog,
you are providing information and by offering Clickbank products you allow
your readers to get even more information on the same topic. After you've
picked the topic of the blog (hopefully a profitable topic!), look to
Clickbank (www.clickbank.com) for ebooks that you can sell as an affiliate.
The Clickbank site has many helpful statistics that can assist you in
determining which products are the most profitable. There are products
listed in nine different categories to allow you to narrow down your search.
Each product listed has a set of statistics underneath that give you
information about the profitability of the product. There is a figure titled
"[Earn %]" that lets you know how much an affiliate will receive from each
sale. The "$/earned per sale" cues you into the average amount that
affiliates earned per sale. This is the net amount and includes any refunds
that the ebook provider may have had to give out. The "% referred" reveals
how many of the products were sold through affiliates. "Gravity" tells you
how many affiliate have sold the product in the last 60 days. The higher the
number, the better. Although you'll want to avoid products that are flooded
in the market, it is important to pick something that is selling well and
selling consistently.
Using affiliate programs with Clickbank can be one of the fastest ways to
make money through blogging. With a little planning, you can tap into the
money making power of blogs and be on your way to Internet riches.
