Monetize
Your Blog
with
Affiliate
Marketing
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a process where you
refer any individual to an online product in
exchange for referral commissions.

If you are doing an ecommerce business or

selling services online then your basic
method of earning revenue will be through the
sale of these items.

But if you are a blogger and write about any products and services you may also
be able to earn extra income by adding affiliate links to the article.

The Idea Behind Finding The Ideal Affiliate Program For You
All want to find their ideal partner with a single shot approach and therefore,
many end in choosing any affiliate offer randomly to check if they can earn some
money. Ultimately, it leads to wastage of time and efforts as well as it consume
your site’s space.

Instead of such a quick method, it is important to select an affiliate partner wisely

for maximizing the income you can make.

For example, you have a blog or website based on web development niche, you
can consider the affiliate program of a domain registrar or a hosting provider.
This means you can partner with one of them for selling domains, hosting or SSL
certificates to the visitors on your site who want to learn about these things and
also want to use them on their website.

In the same way, if your blog is about sports, you can join the affiliate program of
memorabilia, sports clothing and ticket vendors as that would be perfect offering
to your visitors.
Other Things to Consider
When you plan your marketing efforts, it is important to consider the way affiliate
program pays out the affiliate income. The cost of getting paid may vary based
on your country. You may find the same affiliate offering payments through
numerous platforms and hence you can select the one offering the best rate for
you.

Even successful affiliate marketers select the right offers for the right content on
their sites. But some smart ones are well-known for moving at the higher-paying
affiliate commission for some specific items and then writing their content in
order to appeal to that audience.

You can do affiliate marketing effectively by smartly selecting the vendors you
promote. Prior to signing up for programs consider your visitors’ interest in the
products.

Select the partners that offer items matching your website niche. In case your
site is all about digital things then web hosting or laptops would be the best to
find and get success. Instead, if you add an offer for clothes it won’t be a wise
choice for your business, in this case.

Decided to Become an Affiliate….What’s the Next Step?

1. Know Your Target Audience

The first step you need to follow is finding your target audience that means
who is visiting your blog.You need to find what they are searching for and what
they hope to achieve while on your blog?

What is motivating them and what pain points are they facing?

Try to pick up the common characteristics and create your audience profile.

This is essential for your blog to rank among the top money making blogs.

Why is it so important to know your audience?

Creating a perfect landing page and sending your visitors to the highest-
converting sales page would prove to be a fruitful way.

Affiliate marketing is only about taking the right audience in front of the right
offer, in the right way.

Even doing affiliate marketing with a blog is the same. Just understand your
audience interests and start with it.
2. Create High-Value Content

If people take a deep interest in your website and respect your opinion, it is
possible to embed links to products in your articles or text.

High-value content is the key component of making money with a blog then it
doesn’t matter the number of blogs you have got.

Even a beginner can bang up a blog. Simply understand the working of blogs,
fill it with thin affiliate content, and dream about the amount of money you
will make.

3. Find Good Affiliate Offers

In general, the blog’s success shouldn’t depend on a single product. Instead, it

should be flexible for promoting multiple products within the selected niche.

When you focus on your audience and your blog first, you can easily promote
any relevant product/s, rather than promoting just a single.
4. Create Your Money Pages

Below are some of the types of money pages:

Landing Pages:

These types of pages are created just for the purpose of getting people to
subscribe to your email list and then you can send them emails of relevant
offers immediately after they subscribe. 

Review Articles:

This strategy surely works and can be used for just one product without the
need for building the email list as the visitor would directly land to the product
pages from the affiliate links in the article.

5. Comparison Page

An affiliate link can be included on the sale page and one to your detailed review
(if required) for the audience that hasn’t yet made a buying decision.
6. Resources Page

This page contains the list of tools used and recommended by you.

7. Include Strategic Calls-to-Action

Below are the places where you can include call-to-action:

1. Sidebar: The most common place to include a CTA is the sidebar and you
can use a banner for gaining subscribers.

2. In Content: You can insert text, banners or buttons with the help of plugins
anywhere within the content.

3. After Entry: There are some themes that permit you to add images

4. Lead Forms: You can use a plugin or insert a code from autoresponder for
including numerous option forms throughout your blog.
8. Avoid Giving People Too Many Choice

The visitors might get confused and won’t understand what should be done
next, if you make your blog’s layout more chaotic.

This many times results in lower conversion rates and lower revenue.
To avoid this, keep your blog simple and see that the most important pages are
just one click away at any given time.

It doesn’t matter where the visitor is on your blog, simply make it easy for
people to visit the most important pages on your site.

9. Test, Track and Tweak To Increase Conversions

After doing research, it is always best to actually test the ideas implemented to
understand whether your research has proven fruitful.
So, check some of the main tools for tracking the results and optimizing them:

Google Tag Manager (GTM):

If you want to track the visitors’ data on your blog, Google tag manager is a
must. It offers you some good methods to track all things on your site such as
individual affiliate link clicks.

You get the insights about the audience that are clicking your significant
affiliate links which are invaluable.

After installing it, you are able to log into GTM and install other pieces of
tracking code you might need in future, including Facebook code and Google
Analytics.

Google Analytics:

Google Analytics will offer you all the crucial data and of course, you will be
checking it on regular basis.

It tracks every small change on your site and gives you large useful
demographic and interesting data.

It also guides you on your site improvement in terms of bounce rate, time spent
on particular page and several other factors.

You can get a vast amount of valuable insights through this.

Facebook Insights:

With Facebook, you get the data about the people that visit your blog similar to
Google Analytics but in a more detailed format.

With this data, you can “re-target” your blog visitors as well as other audience
with a relevant ad while they are navigating on Facebook.
10. Optimize for Mobile to Increase Revenue

There are many people who either ignore or forget to pay a little attention to the
experience of mobile visitors.

You should be aware of the fact the mobile website visitors are increasing as
compared to desktop visitors.

You need to test your offers on mobile too as it might lead to good SEO and
higher conversions.

Now, you might have got a complete idea about monetizing your blog with
affiliate marketing. You can take up some of the points from this and start
working with your strategy to make money.

I would say just be simple at the start and focus on content creation.

Until your content is relevant and useful, you can improve your money pages and
CTAs and revamp your offers if needed.

Hope this will helps you to gain high conversions and make more money
as an affiliate.
