You can earn a great income by recommending your favorite products to your audience without feeling sleazy — something that turned me off from traditional sales. As a travel blogger, I must admit that earning consistent income from affiliate marketing is more difficult than in other niches. That said, there are specific steps you can take to maximize your affiliate income. One of them is choosing the right affiliate programs. Depending on your audience, you can also promote online courses, clothes, beauty products, books, and more.
Before choosing a program, ask yourself the following four questions:. Would I recommend this product to a friend? This is an important idea I learned from McKinzie Bean, a blogger whom I interviewed about affiliate marketing. Treat your readers as friends if you want them to like you and buy from you. With that in mind, would you recommend a product you think is so-so to a friend to make a quick buck?
I hope not. Why do these types of posts convert to affiliate sales? Think about the last product you purchased. What was the last step you took before you bought the product? You probably searched for reviews on Google, right? On page one of Google, you find a comparison post and read it. You want to capture consumers in the evaluation phase. When it comes to finding affiliate products to promote, there are two types of places to look:.
An affiliate program is managed by the company that sells the product. For instance, blogging courses always have affiliate programs that are run by their creators. On the other hand, an affiliate network is a one-stop shop for thousands of affiliate programs. Within affiliate networks, there are merchants and affiliates, also known as publishers. The merchants are businesses that make their products available for affiliates, you and me, to promote in exchange for a commission.
Travelpayouts is the only affiliate program exclusively dedicated to travel brands. If you run a travel blog or frequently feature travel products on your blog, then this network would be a great one to join. TravelPayouts is relatively small, with 60 travel affiliate programs. Some of the affiliate programs you can join through Travel Payouts include:.
ShareASale is home to companies in every industry from travel to beauty. As with all affiliate networks, signing up for ShareASale is completely free. Commission Junction is an affiliate network with over 1, merchants. Flex Offers has 12, advertisers in a wide range of industries.
What does that mean? It just means that you get paying for referring leads, or customers, whether or not they actually make a purchase. Pay-per-lead commissions are always lower than pay-per-sale commissions, but you scale this income by driving more traffic which means more potential leads.
Travel and fashion are a natural pairing so ShopStyle Collective is a great affiliate network for style-conscious travel bloggers. ShopStyle Collective. Travelers are always looking for a bargain on flights. For me, Skyscanner is the best site for booking discounted flights. Expedia has a popular affiliate program that you can sign up for both via their website and Commission Junction. The company provides tools and support to help you promote their flights, hotels, vacation deals, and car rentals.
Priceline is another travel booking site with a generous affiliate program. Airbnb is one of the largest accommodation booking sites in the world. The company has an exclusive affiliate program to bloggers with at least 1 million monthly page visits. You can join their referral program to earn credit for every friend who books a place through your link.
This is a good breakdown of the difference between the affiliate and referral programs. I promote it in any posts where there is mention of accommodation. So, thank you so much for the great article! It is very good information to work on to increase the revenue of yours. Thanks for this information again. I would happy to see if there are more sections with great earning opportunities like VPN affiliates and so.

However, I believe Wix has a mobile app so that you can edit your site on the go.
Hi Adam, it would be amazing you can also try LambdaTest affiliate program. I think you will love their product and the commission they pay per sale. Hello Adam. After months of searching and reading how to start a blog, I decided to stop procrastinating and take the plunge…just get started!

I hope you will write many articles like this. Hi, I like your method of teaching. So, we have a family of 11, and would all like to review products. Is that the best way to get results?
Very detailed list. Each affiliate programs has its pros and cons, until you find the right one that converts well it might take a while, but once that is set, the sky is the limit to make money. What affiliate program would you recommend for someone that talks a lot about books and are reviewing books on their website?
Is Amazon the best for that? A great and very detailed post. Patience and consistency are needed for success. Keep up the great work. Affiliate marketing is something I really want to get working for my site.
Thank you so much for this info, as there is a lot of info online, but finding it all in one place is difficult. My website is generating traffic, so this should help me make some money off of that traffic. Awesome blog and content. Affiliate marketing is and always will be a brilliant business model. Where I think it really has power is when you market products you use and love yourself. When you become a true ambassador for a product that you use yourself, the buyer can tell this, and they are far more likely to buy from you, as opposed to someone trying to sell something through an affiliate link simply for the reason of trying to make money.
A lot of people add affiliate links way too early and think it will work. You need to build your audience first and focus on monetization once you have some traffic and trust. If I may ask, What affiliate program would you recommend for someone that talks a lot about books and are reviewing books on their website? Hey Mandas, yes I think Amazon would be a great place to start. I am searching for affiliate program blog.

My blog website is extremely new and I really needed direction on how to set it up to be monotized. Great list, thanks for sharing. I only recently discovered the concept of affiliate marketing and am exploring it for a few blogs. Thank you some much for this information, Adam! I was trying to figure out how to get some affiliate marketing to my site to improve my traffic and business.
You pretty much did all the research for me. This could be a silly question.

Thank you and I appreciate the wealth of information from this article.

It actually works pretty well and although there are a lot of different dashboards, I just have to check in once a month to view earnings. Good day Adam. All I can say is wow! Bless you. Thank you for this clear set guidance. With better understanding I now feel confident enough to pursue my passion, goals and dreams. Thank you for the great information. Do you have a recommendation on tracking all the associated programs you signed up for? I saw your recommendation to Afluent and signed for it.
But what about tracking programs that are not on your platform, such as randomly in domestic companies, etc.? I have a main affiliate bookmark with categories and all of the programs in each folder. Many thanks to you for this ton of info in a single blog. Or will you only get paid if some real customer buys something from them through your blog? Please guide how it works. You are correct — a real customer typically has to actually purchase something for the affiliate to get credit.
