What is affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing is making money in different ways: you are not necessarily making money selling products directly, but making money selling passively. This means you get a commission selling the products, but you do not have the products on hand. How can you make money here? You usually make more money with direct sales, but blogs are small, and you want to make small money. If you sell 1,000 computers, you might make $1,000 very quickly. you sold these directly. You might make $100,000 quickly, but then you have to consider production costs, shipping costs, and license costs/

If you use blog affiliate marketing correctly, you make more than that $1,000. Your affiliate percentage will go up. You will be able to use other affiliates. Other companies will want to put their ads on your pages.

What is blog marketing? Blog marketing is getting your blog off the ground. You need to advertise your blog to get it popular. The usual route, currently, is to go with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn to advertise. However, there are other ways. Search engines bring much traffic. Twitter is aristocratic, and perhaps the best social networking resource for professional bloggers.

How can you make money here? You can make money with blog marketing in different ways. You can definitely make money with affiliate marketing. But some cannot, because you cannot just sell someone else's products. Why not sell your own products? Why not use email marketing? Why not use many blogs?

What products can you sell yourself? You might sell out of ebooks. You might sell your blog. You might sell articles.

How can you use email marketing? You might put ads in your email to sell some sort of affiliate program you create. You might use it to teach other bloggers what you do. You might use it to advertise for your own blogs, on either Wordpress or Blogger.

If you have more than one blog, you can use them as a portal to other blogs. No blogger wanting to make money online will want to use his or her Wordpress, Blogger, or other blog just once. You will want multiple blogs. No blogger would just quit on one post: try one post per week unless you have a volume of content.

Should you use Wordpress or Blogger?

What affiliate programs should you have?

What products should you sell?

Wordpress is a strong host, but you need to invest to get the domain and be able to put up ads. If you use Blogger, Google's blog program, you can put any ads on, though they will put ads on too. Adsense is perhaps the most famous of passive affiliate programs, but there is very little monye here. They are trying to win with other ads, but you can make more money in other ways, such as going with other affiliare programs like Linkshare and direct sale affiliate programs.

Your blog topics should have a variety of things. You might have one blog on books, one blog on comics, and one blog on films. These could all link very easily. You could use ads; you could sell products directly; and you could have some fun.

What affiliate programs should you have? There are some very powerful ones. Adsense is strong. Some make nothing, some make $500, some make $1000. It depends on how you trick it. They are getting strong. Amazon affiliates is another strong ad program: they allow you to sell literally thousands of products. For example, that book blog could sell dozens of different books every month, perhaps earning you $30 a month just selling books (you could do the same with the movie blog). These are the basic affiliate programs.

Is Worpdresss to be discounted? Some say they are better. They actually have better themes, and if you invest in them, you can use more pictures, get better themes, and get some sponsors who make you even more money than blogger.

What products should you sell if you want to sell direct products? This depends on what you have on hand. Some craft dealers might sell certain things. Some woodcutters might sell specialty coffee tables. Some book sellers might sell 1st edition books. Some comic dealers might buy and sell old comics, worth hundreds. Some affiliate marketers might use this to train other affiliate marketeers in ways to make money.

Will it always work? Blogging is always hard work. It takes time to build. It gets you writing.

These blog posts can all be turned into something else. You might try magazines. You might try books. If you can write an original blog post, you can do many things with writing. You can have some fun too.
