Getting Started with Affiliate Marketing
Many bloggers wonder how they can make an income from their blog
when they don’t have a lot of traffic. As we all know, ads pay per
impression (or click), and sometimes it takes a lot of impressions
to get the dollars to add up.
However, bloggers with lower traffic numbers still can make
money with their blogs. How? With affiliate marketing! By sharing
the products they love with their readers, smaller bloggers are
able to earn commissions on those products and start earning an
income sooner.
Justine Grey is an affiliate marketing guru, and she is here
today to tell us all about the world of affiliate marketing.
In this episode, Justine shares:

How she ended up making affiliate marketing her career
What affiliate marketing is and how it can be used to monetize
your blog
What an affiliate cookie is and how long it’s valid
Why being an affiliate isn’t about selling products
How you can be a better, more successful affiliate
How to get a better rate for your affiliate sales
What you should pay affiliates for your own products
Whether or not you should use a large network like ShareASale
for your affiliate network
Why you shouldn’t automatically add all affiliates that
apply
