Make money with blogs

Third, don’t forget your affiliate programs! Do they have products that are customer-worthy? Use a blog to give product reviews of any of the products that you have personally used, have sold to others, and received testimonials on. Write articles on how best to use these products with specific tasks or problems that these products will solve. Don’t let my short list slow you down. You have a technique that is working for you already with affiliate programs. Add it to your blog.

While this may seem obvious, it’s important that the products listed in your affiliate programs should be related to the content of your blog. Providing a source from which to purchase will create a sense of “ease” for your customers. For instance, if your blog is talking about a particular brand of tea, having a subtle advertisement or banner on your blog leading to a green tea product will be beneficial to you and your visitor and result in more sales revenue.

If you don’t have an affiliate program that has products, I suggest that you search for targeted affiliate programs that will suit your needs as well as those of your customers.

Make sure to keep each blog topic specific to maintain your niche market. Going off topic could cost you traffic as well as potential customers. Adding content to your blog at least once a week, will also help you maintain a better ranking on search engines and ensure that repeat visitors will have fresh material to read.
