If you had a blog or website, you can earn money from Google
Affiliate. It's easy to start and free to sign up. See below steps to
start earning from your blog.
- Sign up with the Google Affiliate Network.
Use the link in the resources section of this article. You'll have to
enter basic information about yourself and your website. It may take a
day or two to receive your acceptance email.
- Log into your account. After you've been accepted, you can revisit the Google Affiliate Network site and log in.
- Search for products or advertisers that fit your niche. For
successful affiliate marketing, you need to match the right offer with
your audience. For example, if your website is about camping, then you
should look for companies that sell camping supplies. You can do this by
clicking on either the "Products" or "Advertisers" buttons at the top
of your screen.
- Apply to the advertisers that interest you. Click on the
small box next to the advertiser names, then click on the "Apply to
selected" button at the top of the screen. Some advertisers will approve
you immediately, while others manually approve applicants.
- Get the advertising code for your website. You can view a
list of your approved advertisers under the "Advertisers" and "Approved"
links. You can click on the "Actions" button and scroll down to "Get
links." This shows you the available ads.
- Place the ad code on your website. If you're using a blog
like WordPress, you can usually put it in a text-based widget. If you're
using HTML, you'll need to modify the code to properly show the
advertisement.
- Monitor your advertising campaigns. If you aren't having
success with a particular ad, swap it out for a different ad from the
same company or change companies altogether.
- The more traffic you have to your website, the more money you can
make with it. If you only get a few visitors a day, you can't expect to
earn a lot of money.
- Don't limit yourself to the affiliate programs through Google. You
can try other affiliate programs as well. See other post about
affiliate programs.
- Expect to be turned down by some advertisers, especially if you are new to the game. Simply look for similar companies instead.
