This should take about a few days or less. After you buy the product, do a detailed review of it and share it with your subscribers and on YouTube!

Affiliate marketing for bloggers does not have to be expensive or complicated as you have just seen in the video. You can make a very comfortable living online doing what you enjoy, which is blogging. With a few minor tweaks and adjustments, you can be well on your way to making a seven figure income.

As you already know, affiliate marketing is promoting products or services to people that have already been created. For instance, if you enjoy blogging about yoga, you will promote products or services related to yoga; such as yoga mats, yoga classes, or yoga exercise videos.

Below I will discuss five best practices affiliate marketing for bloggers should know.

1. Only promote products that are reputable. Remember that real people are reading what you write and they are looking to you for advice on a particular subject.
2. Your reputation is on the line. So if you promote a substandard or shoddy product, you will begin to lose trust with your readers.
3. Whatever you are promoting on your blog, make sure your audience wants it. Promote products that are already selling. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. If you notice that a particular product is selling well, then promote that product on your website or blog. Chances are, your readers have not seen or heard about it yet; and they might want it too.
4. Look for high dollar products to promote. If you don’t have a lot of traffic coming in to your website or blog, you can still make a comfortable living online by selling only a few high dollar amount products to a handful of customers per month.
5. Write really good reviews for the products that you promote. Give a full detailed review of the strong and weak points of the product. And if you can include a video in your review explaining who is this product best for, what does it do, how does it benefit the user, why should the reader buy it, and where is the best place to buy it (this is where you insert your affiliate link). When you write an extensive detailed review that leaves no question unanswered, you will increase trust and credibility with your readers and SALES!
6. Always disclose to your readers that if they should click through to your affiliate link and purchase the product, you will receive a commission. This does two things; it keeps you out of hot water with the FTC and it further builds a relationship with your readers.
