Monetizing Your Blog with Affiliate Marketing 
Many Internet marketers have very successful blogs, but aren’t yet monetizing them – that is, using the power of your blog to create revenue and conversions on your sites.
If you’re not yet monetizing your blog, but want to begin – affiliate marketing is a great first step.
There are a few things you can do if you’re just now trying to monetize your blog that might help hurry things along. They include:
• Blog About Products or Services that You’re Promoting – The power of blogging is that you already have a fan base that will listen to your recommendations. Along with that comes a huge responsibility to your followers that you only promote products that you believe in and that you think will benefit your readers.
• Use an Affiliate Aggregator – If you have several blog topics you may want to choose an automated service that provides access to thousands of affiliate programs and will also monetize the links on the sites for you. For example, if a blogger writes about a great juicer they found at Bed, Bath and Beyond, the service will automatically sign you up to the outlet without you having to sign up. The aggregate will also insert links if you mention a store or product on your blog.
• Link Affiliates to Your Site – Don’t overdo the links in your blog pages, but carefully space them. You can also link the money pages from other areas such as a sidebar or footer. This will provide more visibility as well as readability for the visitors.
• Choose Affiliate Programs That Are Relevant to Your Blog – Carefully select those affiliate programs that will provide advertisements that fit your blog. You don’t want ads for computers if you’re writing about horses. Remember that the more relevant the ad is to your blog, the better your changes of visitors clicking on the ad for a conversion.
