7 Affiliate Marketing Tips for Bloggers

Tip 1 – Create Ultimate Resource Blog Posts That Have Affiliate Links

I am sure you have seen an “Ultimate” style blog post before. These are blog posts that typically are at least 2,000 words on a specific topic and serve as the ultimate guide. These types of posts can be great money makers for affiliate bloggers because people love them!

Tip 5 – Promote Relevant Affiliate Products

A mistake I see a lot of bloggers make is trying to promote every product out there. Think about what you audience wants and keep it relevant to them. Don’t just promote to make a commission. Always keep your audiences best interest in mind and you will make more in the end.
