Make Blogs

There are hundreds of affiliate marketing programs that you can sign up for online. However, it would be wise of you to do your due diligence before you sign up, especially if you’ve never heard of them before.

As I have mentioned in another post you need to make sure when you choose a product that there are affiliate marketing programs that sell the product you choose.

I have also mentioned that as a new blogger it’s a good idea to use trusted names since your readers don’t know you or trust you YET. Therefore, if you use a trusted name like Ebay or Amazon you may have better success.

If you have not applied as yet for any affiliate marketing programs then I would like to give you a 5 tips so that hopefully you won’t get rejected.

1. Have your blog or site set up BEFORE you apply. They will ask for a web address and you need to have something to put in there. Even if it’s a Blogger blog that you threw together in 20 minutes it’s best to have something.

2. I know I just said even if it’s a Blogger blog, but if you can have you own domain and hosting it looks more professional and it will help.

3. Content is king so try your best to have quality original content.

4. Have a clean, uncluttered blog/site not a spammy looking one.

5. Make sure all links are working and everything is in order such as an about page and a privacy page if you use adsense (per adsense TOS).

You could still get rejected by some affiliate marketing programs, but just keep applying and you will get accepted. I have never heard of anyone being rejected by Amazon, however, there are many rejection stories going around about Ebay.

Some other popular affiliate marketing programs are Commission Junction aka CJ, Shareasale, Linkshare and the Pepperjam network. I don’t want to leave out Clickbank it’s very popular since it’s all digital and the product can be downloaded at purchase.

Affiliate marketing programs can make you a lot of money, consequently, it’s in your best interest to research and find ones that will be a perfect fit for your business. Meaning, they will pay you in a timely fashion and satisfy your customers needs. A poor affiliate marketing program can kill your credibility.

As time goes on you will build trust in your readers and you don’t want to jeopardize it by them having a bad experience with their purchase.
