Why Affiliate Income is better than adsense - Day 9
Affiliate Income : This is something that has been my personal favorite. They are my personal favorite as I have complete control over the ads that shows up on my blog. Second thing is most affiliate products pays good money and it’s far better than few cents per click from adsense.
sidenote: I wrote this article for blogs but it doesn’t matter. They are applicable to websites too.
How to sell affiliate products with blog?
If your blog is more than just an article management system then you can sell loads of affiliate products. My main technique was to share loads of content and then share the resources. Here are few tips that you can apply to your blog.
-> With Affiliate it doesn’t matter as much as adsense to have ads in prominent position. But it doesn’t hurt either.
-> Create a subscriber list. Which is what exactly we are doing.
-> My Show & Tell Strategy: My favorite way was which I called “show and tell” strategy. What you do is just show and inform people how they can use widgets(or any products in your niche).
If people can see(read,feel or interact) it in action, they are more likely to buy from you.
Mind you this is one thing that not many people are doing it. Its so darn underused that its funny. Most of my content was purposely designed on this strategy.
-> Update your blogs/sites regularly: Basic idea is more competitive your niche, more frequent updation you need to do. Unless you use some uber geek fundas to generate loads of traffic. You need to follow this plan.
-> Don’t Diversify: Now this tip goes against many of your’s philosophy. But I’d recommend you to not diversify your revenue generation system on your blog.
What I meant to say is, make sure you stick to promoting one or two product/Affiliate system. For example If I am selling clickbank products I’d not sell products from any other affiliate network.
This make sure I don’t end up with few dollars in different accounts all over the place. And the feeling you get with fat account is really different.
With affiliate income you are not dependent on google or any specific company. If google make any changes you can lose big chunk of adsense income(it happened recently with google’s smart algo). But with affiliate income, all you need to do is change the program you are promoting.
