    What is Affiliate Marketing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Affiliate marketing<\/a> is when an individual (you) earns a commission by promoting someone else’s product or service. As an affiliate, you’re partnering with a merchant by joining their affiliate program and promoting their product on your blog, YouTube channel<\/a>, podcast<\/a> or social media accounts. When a someone clicks on your unique affiliate link and makes a purchase, you’ll earn a percentage of the sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re like any of the bloggers I know… the purpose of joining an affiliate program is to get financially compensated for the content you already want to write on your blog<\/a> anyway. Affiliate programs are one of the best (and easiest) ways to start making money from your blog<\/a> regardless of how many readers you have today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For those of you that may think it’s too competitive to launch a blog today, here’s a powerful statistic… it’s widely reported that affiliate marketing reached $6.8 billion in recent years<\/a>. So, even if you’re brand new to blogging, carving out your niche<\/a> in the market\u2014and joining the right affiliate programs can still be incredibly lucrative toward your blogging goals<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Choosing which affiliate programs are best as a blogger can be a tricky part of your overall blog strategy<\/a>, however. Especially if you\u2019re doing this for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With literally thousands of affiliate programs available\u2014and more being added to emerging verticals every day\u2014it can get difficult to hone in on the best options for you. In this roundup, I’m shining a light on a small sampling of what’s out there… only the best of the best affiliate programs for bloggers<\/strong> to join right away. Check out my guides on how much bloggers can make<\/a> & how long it takes to make money blogging<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Now quickly before we dive into this list, let’s cover a couple of the most common questions I field from readers about affiliate marketing from new bloggers:<\/p>\n\n\n

    What is an affiliate program?<\/h3><\/summary>
    \n\n

    An affiliate program is an arrangement by which a company (online merchant) selling a product, tool or service\u2014agrees to pay their affiliates (you) a commission for any sales your blog generates of their products or services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For the company who manages the affiliate program, they’re incentivizing you (with commission payouts) to send them referral traffic<\/a>. It’s one of the easiest ways for brands to attract new customers, because they’re tapping into blogs (like yours) where their target audience<\/a> already exists online. The process works by placing an affiliate link on your blog, which leads anyone who clicks on it straight to the merchant\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The agreements of affiliate programs often vary greatly\u2014some offer a commission to the affiliate only after a customer completes a sale, while other affiliate programs offer a commission for just getting a visitor to sign up for a free trial of their product\u2014whether or not they end up becoming a fully paid customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There\u2019s also a vast difference when it comes to commission rates too, which is why you need to do your homework and consider many factors before you make the choice to go with a particular affiliate program. That’s a major reason why I compiled this list of the best affiliate programs for bloggers to get started with today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can learn even more about how affiliate marketing works in my two deep-dive explainers about affiliate marketing in general<\/a> and on Amazon more specifically<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In short though, there are three main types of rewards in affiliate marketing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
