Affiliate Programs - Are they the way to go?
In day 7 of my search for some way to earn money online I have decided to look into affiliate programs. Now, I have belonged to BookCloseOuts.com for a few years now. Since I only have advertised through email and I only email friend and family (and that is not all that often, by the way) this has not been the most effective venture. I am now branching things out to my spanking new blog - Ta Da! Let's see if that works better - I'll let you know.
Then there is Amazon.com. I have shopped there for years and am almost never let down. I say almost never as no site is perfect. They are a recent addition for me - and again - we'll see how this goes. I would suppose the amount of site traffic would be in direct proportion of my success. This means I need to write about something relevant and poignant. Something worth reading.
I did find some great sites for finding affiliate programs. You can search those sites and apply for the affiliate programs that interest you. The first is LinkShare. They work with sites like Apple iTunes and TigerDirect. It is important to know the sites before you promote them, so I am choosing only sites I have used or have done some research. The other is Commission Junction. They work with sites like Books-A-Million.
