How Bloggers Make Commissions From Affiliate Marketing

If you are wondering how to quickly monetize your blog and start getting results, then it may be time to start looking at affiliate review websites. This is a simple model that can pay off huge dividends. At the most basic, it’s a very simple model: choose a niche, review products and services in it, embed affiliate links, and wait for the commissions to roll in.

Of course, there’s a lot more to it than this, but the basic mechanics work just like that. The key ingredient missing from that basic description is trust: people don’t just buy from the first place they visit. They are often looking for someone they can trust.

The great thing about a review website is that you can build this trust relatively simply by having a lot of authority and credibility. With more product reviews, you get more trust – not to mention SEO placements, traffic, and eventually profits.

The key is really to find a niche that you enjoy – one that you will be able to kept working on long after the thrill of having a website has gone. Ideally, an evergreen niche with medium ticket items works best, giving you a good commission amount while not being so expensive as to put people off.

You’ll also want to try and zone in on a specific sub-niche if you can, as this is where the real money likes. Sure, you can target a niche like health and fitness – but that’s so broad that it will be like finding a needle in a haystack. By zooming in and picking a very specific niche, such as kidney health, or heart monitors, you can really offer visitors a targeted website packed with valuable information.
