Want to make money from affiliate marketing? Then you need a strategy. Learn how to do it with
these excellent affiliate marketing blogs.
Since the late 1990s, affiliate marketing has been a buzzword on the internet. This potential money-
maker is often the source when you hear about those incredible, if not common “I made a fortune
$$$ blogging!” stories.
Yes, it’s nothing new, but affiliate marketing is still going strong. And you can make a serious living
by focusing on a smart affiliate marketing strategy.
Intrigued? It’s time to learn more.
First up: What is affiliate marketing, exactly? How can you make money by becoming an affiliate?
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
If you’re unfamiliar with affiliate marketing, the concept is pretty simple:
Promote products/services on your blog.
Add special links to those products/services in your content.
When your readers click those links (or purchase products after clicking those links), you get a
cut of the profits from the merchant.
In other words, affiliate marketing is a lot like commissioned sales. The difference is you’re driving
traffic and leads to the merchant/advertiser’s website through your blog posts.

If this sounds too good to be true, pay attention: This is not a get-rich-quick scheme, and it WILL
take effort to make money using this strategy.
Check out the major pros and cons to make sure this road is one you’re ready to walk down.
Affiliate Marketing Pros & Cons
These are the major pros and cons of affiliate marketing:
Pros
It’s a great way to make passive income. While you’re off working at your full-time job,
your affiliate links and blog posts will be working in the background. With the right
combination of SEO and engaging, honest writing, you could be looking at a passive income
cash cow.
You don’t need marketing experience. You don’t need any marketing experience to become
an affiliate, though a bit of SEO knowledge and writing chops never hurt.
You can do it in your free time. With only a bit of time + money investment up front (setting
up a website, getting set up with affiliate programs, and creating content with your affiliate
links) you can start making money.
Cons
You have zero control over the offers, products, or services. You don’t have to mess with
products (creating, distributing, selling) but at the same time, you don’t have any control over
what you’re promoting, either.
It can be competitive. Affiliate marketing is relatively simple, so there will be plenty of other
affiliates out there competing for clicks and leads – some of them with years of experience
behind them.
There are scams. Affiliate marketers need to be wary of scams and fraudulent affiliate
programs.
Now that you know the pros and cons, if you’re still interested in affiliate marketing, it’s time to dig
in and learn more.
