Affiliate Programs and My Blog

Affiliate Marketing

According to Wikipedia affiliate marketing is an Internet-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts. It is using one website to drive traffic to another. In this case, I am putting banners, supplied by the advertiser, on my blog to attract readers to click the link to the advertiser’s home page. When a sale is concluded, I receive a commission. It is a form of passive income. 

 The first affiliate program that I joined was Amazom.com. I selected Amazon because I love to read books. After a while, I removed all the banners from my blog because it was a fruitless attempt. Recently

 I was invited by Jay Marsh, Assistance Affiliate Manager at Hexpress Ltd to join their affiliate network. I gladly accepted the offer. I like the program because its products are about online health care which is in line with my niche. Moreover, when you join your account is credited with 25 pounds upfront. Like AdSense, you have to accumulate 100 pounds in order to get paid. 

 I have also taken the opportunity to join another affiliate program, myhelphub.com. They promote products relating to self-development and writing skills. I have chosen this network because my blog is about self-improvement. Their products complement my articles. The reasons why I was invited are because my blog is a niche blog and most important of all, the Traffic Rank of my blog offers potential business opportunities.

 I will write another article in the future to brief you about these two affiliate programs.
