Have you ever wondered what all the talk about affliliate marketing and blogging is all about? Well, believe it or not as a blogger ie writer you can make more income, passive income in fact by combining your blogging with marketing affliliate products.

Affliliate marketing is where you promote someone else’s product for them, and if you make a sale for the author of the affiliate product, they pay you a portion of that sale.  Here’s what you need to be able to successfully market affliliate products:

1. A high traffice blog on a subject of interest. Don’t worry if you don’t have a blog that  gets a lot of traffic or if you are just starting out. The important thing is to build your blog and your traffic first. This can take up to a year, but I’ve seen some that were able to do it in six months.

2. A click bank account so you can look up different affililiate products that relate to your blog’s subject, or if you already know of affiliate products then use those.

3. Some knowledge of HTML. The way this can work is that rather than putting ads up on your blog for affliliate products which it has been my experience turns readers off, you can instead find words in your blog postings that relate to the the subject the affiliate product is on and then make those words a link to the affiliate product’s page. It doesn’t guarantee a sale, but at least people may be curious and click on the link to see where it goes. Be sure that you don’t litter your posts with these. Don’t link to anymore than three affiliate products in one post, otherwise you’ll turn your readers off.

 Oh, and keep in mind that Today.com does not allow this sort of promotion in their blogs. You’ll need to put up another blog at Blogger.com or some other platform to be able to put this into motion.
