About five months ago, I chanced on a series of blogs that are making thousands of dollars monthly from affiliate marketing. An example isHarsh Agrawal, who makes five(5) digit figures monthly from affiliate marketing.Adam Enfroyalso makes six(4) figures monthly from being an affiliate partner.
So you heard right, affiliate marketing can triple your blog revenue monthly when done right.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is an old method of recommending products/ services of your partners(affiliates) to your readers/followers in order for them to purchase for you to get commissions.
It is the process of sending traffic to your affiliate partners site to gain commissions for every referral purchase. Your affiliate data is stored in the cookie policy of users whenever they click on your link, so you may receive a commission even when they don’t buy instantly but wait till the next 30-150 days when the cookie policy expires.
Affiliate programs work well for niche sites. For example, if you are a software development blog; it makes sense to find and partner with software development companies.
However, if your niche is fashion and you try to sell products that are focused on web hosting services, you may not be targeting the right audience.
