So you’ve just set up your website and you’re now wondering how to make money from it. Maybe you already are with Google Adsense. Maybe you sell products. But did you know there’s a really easy way to make a passive income while you sleep? Welcome to the world of affiliate marketing!
What is affiliate marketing?
Online retailers are always looking for new avenues to drive traffic and therefore sales. One way of doing this is to set up an affiliate program where they pay you a commission for driving traffic to their site or if you generate a sale from your referral.
This usually just entails placing an affiliate advert on your site that promotes a service or product that you recommend to your followers. It’s quick, simple, and easy.
How to find the right affiliate program for me?
What’s great is that you have an abundance of choice out there. Practically every major business, plus many smaller ones, have an affiliate program. What’s important is that you find one that’s right for your website and your traffic.
Relevance is the key element here. There’s no point promoting a tourism brand when your site is about growing vegetables in your allotment. And it would be detrimental if you were promoting a men’s grooming product when your audience is exclusively women.
This may seem obvious and in many cases it is. But you’d be surprised at how easily you can find relevant products in sectors you wouldn’t expect. For example, you may have a website promoting your web design services. You may not use stock photos in your work or even mention stock photos in any of your literature. But you can be certain that some users will be thinking about what kind of photos they want on their site.
Try to put yourself in your users’ shoes and you’ll gain better insights into which affiliate programs to join.
