Blogging as an affiliate
July 7th, 2009 Affiliate Blogger Posted in All articles, SEO, Wordpress | No Comments »
as an affiliate there are millions of ways to generate affiliate commissions, some affiliates build thin one-page websites, whilst other affiliates create massive generic sites, there are affiliates who only work on discount codes and affiliates who work only on PPC, ultimately, its important that any affiliate understands the priciples of affiliate marketing and how these different methods work.
personally, I’ve chosen to focus on creating niche blogs, i decided to use this method as I’m pretty good at spotting niche markets and with limited tech skills, setting up a blog and the related ‘bits’ is something I can just about manage on my own, as a result my commissions haven’t been as high as other affiliates and the process of getting sites up and ranking in google is a little slower, but what it has meant is that I can be really focused and have the freedom to work on subjects that interest me.
Using a blog allows me to add content and link to merchants with out the hassle of digging into code and using wordpress means that i have a pretty broad select of themes and plugins to add to my blogs saving me time on setting up sites and giving me more time to focus on the marketing of the site.
as far as niche marketing is concerned, by allowing me to work on specific niches at a time, i can really do my research a focus on one subject at a time, this save me time as I can often just drill down on one subject, create a blog and leave the blog to work on a new blog.
Whilst my techinque might not be to everyones tastes and may not earn as much as the big hitting affiliates, its a proof of concept and does allow me to earn a little extra pocket money on the side.
