Affiliate Marketing for Bloggers: How to Earn Big
In this article, I share everything I know about how to earn a serious income by merging affiliate marketing and blogging.
We looked at how much affiliate marketers make and found that, on average, affiliate marketing bloggers make between $30,000–$50,000 per year.
That said, it’s possible to make much more than this. Some high-ticket affiliate marketers earn several million per year. It depends on how much time and effort you put into your business and what niche you’re in.
Most high-earning bloggers use a combination of search engine optimization, social media, and email lists to drive traffic to their blog posts, which contain affiliate links.
Once a user lands on the blog, they may click on one of the affiliate links and purchase the product that’s recommended, resulting in the blogger being paid a commission by the affiliated brand.
Affiliate marketing and blogging work so well together because:
- Low overhead – You don’t have to hold inventory, pay for storage, or hire people to pack, ship, or manage products. You just need website hosting and a desire to write.
- No customer service – Your affiliates handle all the returns and customer questions. You don’t need to provide customer support beyond helping people decide if they should purchase the product or not.
- Passive income – Especially with SEO, you can get traffic to your blog whether you’re working or relaxing on the beach. It’s a great way to make a passive income.
You can find affiliate programs in many ways:
- Through affiliate networks like ShareASale or Avantlink
- By partnering with the Amazon Associate’s Network
- By reaching out directly to brands you want to work with
You can also find affiliate programs by searching “[niche] affiliate programs” on Google and looking at the listicles others have written about your niche.
For example, “coffee affiliate programs” brings up several articles:
