Today is an easy day for you. We get to surf the web for information. One of the easiest ways to start generating revenue through your blog is to set up advertisements, product reviews and links that lead to a link specifically made for you that lets you earn money off of every sale made through that link. This is called an affiliate link. You may not have any affiliate programs in your arsenal yet or you may have a ton. It doesn’t matter. Our goal today is to research affiliate programs that would go well with the topic of your website. Don’t worry about plugging them into your website quite yet, I will go over those instructions tomorrow. All we are interested in today is finding the programs, signing up for them and learning how they work.

So what would be a good program to join? There is no straight answer but Amazon is a favorite of mine because they carry practically everything, but there are also some specific products sold by 3rd party companies that might benefit your site. For example, with UltimateWebsiteTrafficSecrets.com I plan on offering the TrafficSeeker program as an affiliate product. It only makes sense since it is a piece of software designed to get traffic to your website, relatively affordable and has a great commission structure. The key is the product needs to be related to your subject matter, preferably something you have used or tried so you can truthfully recommend it and it should have the best possibly affiliate payout you can find.

Get out there and research what programs will work for you and sign up today because some take a few days for an approval process. Tomorrow we will work on getting them worked into our website.
