ne of the best ways to make money online by growing a business is through affiliate marketing. Affiliate Marketing is the promotion of a product or service that is owned by someone else, and the receiving of a commission or percent of the sale as a reward for doing so.

For example, let’s say you become an affiliate for a recipe book that sells for $10 and has a 50% commission structure.

 If you sell one copy of the book, you’ll receive a $5 commission.

You get to bypass all the traditional hassles of owning your own product such as product creation, merchant accounts, customer support, and product fulfillment to name a few.

So essentially all you have to do is get people to visit and click on  your affiliate links.

 And with pretty much every product online having its own affiliate program…

I like to call it the ultimate shortcut to building an online business.

The usual method is to write a post, article or blog and mention the product or service you are affiliate for.

 You link to that produce or service using a unique affiliate code you received when you signed up for that particular affiliate program. From there, that link code will identify you are the person who should receive the commission.

The best Community to make money as an affiliate is ClickBank. The Clickbank network offer thousands of searchable digital products for affiliate to choose from.

 The industry is worth an estimated $12 billion right now and is set to grow by at least a further 10% over the next few years. It’s a great way to earn money online without needing to develop products of your own. It comes as no surprise then that many SEOs are known to operate affiliate websites as a side-hustle, using their skills to drive traffic that they can earn a commission from.

Businesses use affiliate marketing as one channel of their marketing mix. It allows them to benefit (in terms of sales and leads) from someone else’s (the affiliate’s) marketing strategy and audience. 

Businesses who take advantage of this channel vary from those selling physical products via an eCommerce store to financial services (insurance, credit cards, etc.) and SaaS software tools through to virtual products (think eBooks and virtual training courses). There are very few businesses that couldn’t drive sales through affiliate marketing. As long as the right affiliates are out there to promote the products and services. 

When a merchant collaborates with an affiliate, they’ll supply tracking links (to allow for the commission to be calculated) and often promotional assets, as well as sometimes unique offers (to hook an audience in) such as discount codes. 

While it’s relatively straightforward to begin a blog, it’s a monumental undertaking to make money online by growing a business with it. It take dedication and hard work to generate any semblance of traffic and profit from your arduous efforts. You need laser-focus and persistence to build an audience or reach mass saturation with your prose. It takes time and it takes long and drawn out evenings burning the proverbial midnight oil.

Take it from me. As a blogger who’s built a substantial platform with hundreds of thousands of monthly visitors, I can bask in the warm glow of success. However, I can’t sit around for too long enjoying the freedom and passive income that my blog has created. Without constantly adding insatiable content, any blog can die off.

So, what does it take to start a successful blog and actually make money online? I suppose that depends on what you consider successful and what you consider making money. If, like millions of other potential bloggers out there, you’re looking to rake it in, you’ll have a long road ahead.

You can start a blog and make money by offering a service, with affiliate marketing or by placing advertisements.
You must remember that making money with your blog is not quick, it takes a lot of time and work.

I think the most important thing is to work on search engine optimization because you can have the most amazing content, but without traffic it is useless.
Also, don’t give up. You just have to focus on creating good quality content and working on your search engine optimization.

Trust me, the traffic will come.
The more traffic you get the more opportunities you will have to monetize your blog. Because you can get offers for agencies to place content in your blog and you can charge for it.
What I am showing you here are alternatives that you can do on your own, but trust me, the more content you create and the more traffic you get, the more opportunities you will have to monetize your blog.
