Affiliate Marketing Is How I Make Money Blogging
Yes I make my living marketing online, but did you know that not all of us marketing have our own products. Well I’m a marketer with absolutely no product that I own or even stock. However I still make money selling products, they just aren’t mine and no I don’t steal them.
How do I do it, well if you read the title I guess you already know it’s through affiliate products. Products that belong to other people, they just allow me to sell them for a cut of the profits and the works for me.
Selling Other People’s Products
There is really unlimited money to be made with affiliate marketing because of all the niches or markets available these days that there is just no end to all the products and services. If you were to start promoting and selling a new product every day, say in the home gardening niche and you would never sell all the available affiliate products in just that one niche.
I make money in the home gardening niche with blogging for profit but we also save money as we buy less at the grocery store. However this particular niche is so big that there are many sub niches within the main gardening niche. For this reason you will see many affiliate programs available and it’s the same for a lot of markets, niches and even sub-niches.
Ebooks As Affiliate Products
I use the Clickbank marketplace to find and promote gardening related digital products called ebooks, which are books in digital form so you can read them on your laptop, computer or ipad or Kindle.
You will find other affiliate programs for digital products other than just at Clickbank. You might want to look at PayDotCom.com and eJunkie.com too.
You need to learn all you can about affiliate marketing and Clickbank is the place to look. It was there that I found Rosalind Gardner’s Super Affiliate Handbook and my work from home business started making a profit. She’s the best source I know of for learning how to work from home to make money with affiliate marketing.
Non Digital Affiliate Products
Of course all products are not digital so I went looking for other affiliate networks that have physical products I can promote.
Some of the affiliate networks I use to promote gardening related products are:
LinkShare Affiliate Network, ShareASale and PepperJam Network
Even though I have tried a lot of affiliate networks they are not all a like so I have dropped a lot of them. Those I listed above are a few I have been making money with and use them in multiple niches like gardening and acoustic guitar.
I really doesn’t matter what you niche is there will be an affiliate program you could make money with, unless you pick a niche that is so out there that there is little to choose from but for the normal things there are often multiple programs to choose from.
