Amazon Affiliate Program: How to Monetize Your Blogger Content

The Amazon affiliate program, called, ‘Amazon Associates,’ provides a free, easy way for bloggers to monetize their Blogger blogs. Blogger, which is a free blogging platform, is owned by Google. It provides users with a free blog that they can use however they like.  You can create a blog for free on Blogger to blog about those topics that you are passionate about, and then add in some links to related products from Amazon that might be useful to your readers.

If you have already got a Blogger blog up and running, you would just need to join the Amazon Affiliates program, and then choose a mix of image and text ads for items that are relevant to your content and post them on your blogger blog.  Blogger makes it easy to create an Amazon Associates account directly from your profile  so that you can get up and running quickly.

Amazon associates can earn advertising fees when their visitors click on their special affiliate link, go to Amazon and make a purchase. These fees can range from 4% to 15% depending on volume and the kinds of products you are promoting. A good thing is that if your visitor clicks on one of your links and goes to Amazon, you get a commission on the product you were linking to as well as whatever else they purchased in that transaction.

Let’s say that you have a blog about chocolate. You write blog posts about what new offerings your favorite choclatiers have to offer, you might share recipes and sources where your readers can find the fine chocolates that you are raving about in your posts. On a blog like this you might link to books on Amazon that contain chocolate recipes, the various chocolates that they sell, kitchen gadgets that bakers might use, etc.

You have an array of options for displaying related Amazon products such as sidebar widgets, product carousels, gadgets that actually play mp3 clips, and Amazon search boxes, but you want to make sure that you integrate the ads tastefully and that everything you are offering is related to your content.  You do not want to turn your readers off because they get the feeling that all you are trying to do is push these products on them.

It is also important in light of FCC regulations to disclose that some of the links on your site are affiliate links, and when users click on them and make a purchase you will be compensated. You can post a site-wide disclaimer or identify which links are affiliate links. As an online business person you should familiarize yourself with the regulations related to affiliate marketing.

Posting book reviews and product reviews are a great way to pre-sell Amazon products from your blog. When you add your unique point of view—whether you loved the product, or found some shortcomings with it, people appreciate the value you add.

Amazon associates makes it easy and fun to monetize your Blogger content. It’s free to sign up and you can start making money with it right away.

There are lots of other ways that you can make money online with niche affiliate marketing. Check out, http://www.passivenicheprofits.com, to discover how you can generate passive income online today.

Affiliate Marketing Programs: Separating Good from Bad

Anyone who has done any research on online marketing knows plenty of rip-offs abound. Unfortunately, Internet marketers with no scruples take advantage of the abundance of people who come online every day looking for ways to improve their lives. It’s very sad, because millions probably get duped into spending money unnecessarily, only to get involved with scams or at least bad business ideas that line marketers’ pockets and leave buyers with nothing. Fortunately, there are ways you can make money online without any up-front fees. This should be good news to those who have had run-ins with Web scheme run by scam artists!

But the line between scam and just an ill-advised business opportunity can sometimes be thin. An example of this is the controversy over an web business opportunity named Site Build It. Some people think that at least one person has created a SBI affiliate review that wasn’t entirely accurate. The owner stepped forward to defend himself and he could be totally right. But it’s up to every individual to do their own research before paying money for Internet “opportunities”.

One of the main ways I like to make money on the Internet is above-board and also fairly simple to implement. I make money writing. HubPages — a community blogging site — makes it simple to create content and generate ad revenue. How many content “hubs” (pages) you create is up to you. Each hub has the potential to make up to five forms of revenue: Google AdSense, Kontera in-text ads, Amazon products, eBay auction items and any affiliate marketing program you want to implement. Sixty percent of the impressions (page views) that generate income go to you and the people who own HubPages get 40%. Affiliate programs are an exception to that rule though; One hundred percent of income generated by click-throughs from an affiliate link on a hub would belong to you. It takes a while to get good at creating solid hubs but in my opinion, the money you can earn over time makes it worth the effort.

One of the affiliate marketing programs I like to use on my hubs is RevResponse, because it provides credible free information for people. When people click on links to any of the RevResponse publications or white papers and qualify, you benefit financially. That’s all there is to it. Qualifying is not a shoe-in though, so that aspect is important to understand. To learn more, you might want to check out this RevResponse marketing review. The information in the review will help you know whether the RevResponse program is right for your site or blog.
