Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money if you know what you are doing. The best way to do this is by following some simple suggestions.
1st. You need a product to sell. The product you sell should be based on something you have experience with. 2. You must monetize your content correctly. Whether its a blog, webpage, or e store you must place your links and content ads in the right spots to maximize performance. This shouldnt be overlooked. The best way to do this is by opening your site in another page and imagining yourself as the viewer. Where do your eyes go? You might find yourself looking at the upper right hand side, scrolling to the bottom, or staring directly at the center screen. You should place your ads in these areas.
On the internet today people are bombarded with advertisements whether its content, videos, pop ups, or the dreaded automatic audio ads. Unless your Yahoo, YouTube, or AOL you might not want to try this. Those companies get so much traffic it almost doesn't matter if they surround you with advertisement. So for now keep it simple and allow your users to feel where you are coming from.

Again the product you sell is important. Know the product, study the product, make quality reviews, make demonstration videos, educate people. There are a alot of companies that offer these affiliate marketing programs. Most of the time more than you could imagine. Why not make some money with the products you already use? Some big brands include home depot, best buy, amazon, youtube, cabellas, and more. Some companies will have there own affiliate program on their company website or they will use third parties such as Shareasale, Commission Junction, or Clickbank.
No matter how you approach affiliate marketing the basics should stay the same. Keep it simple and promote products your familiar with. No matter how much content or fun flashy stuff you will fail unless its honest and really teaching something to someone. Now get your affiliate GAME ON!
