This article is about affiliate marketing website examples. 

Today, I want to talk about the power of Affiliate Marketing. I often get asked if affiliate marketing is lucrative and the answer is YES. It can be VERY lucrative if you know how to use it.

But first of all, in case you are wondering, I want to explain in a few sentences what affiliate marketing is all about. 

What is affiliate marketing? 

Affiliate marketing is basically a simple way for a publisher to earn commission by promoting a product or service from a company through an “affiliate link.” 

An affiliate link is a unique link generated usually by the merchant (service or product provider) which tracks sales. You usually earn a set commission from an affiliate link but this depends on the company.

Amazon for example give 5-8% of commission (depending on the category of the products) to publishers that are part of their Amazon Associates Program (their affiliate marketing program)  

Is Affiliate Marketing Lucrative?

It can be VERY lucrative if you know HOW to use it.  I personally believe that affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to monetize your blog because it gives you the opportunity organically promote products and services that are valuable to your audience while making money. 

I have personally made over $300K in the last TWO years JUST on affiliate marketing through my publication.  It is mind-blowing to think about it but it is true and it can also happen to you if you use affiliate marketing correctly.

How to use affiliate marketing?

In order for affiliate marketing to be effective, you first need to first build an audience. 

I would highly encourage you to FIRST focus on building your blog and growing it until you get to 10K readers per month. 

Once you have over 10K readers per month, then you can start monetizing your content through affiliate marketing. 

The awesome thing about affiliate marketing is that it is a passive income. Once you have done the work, it will live on your website forever and you can focus on creating new streams of income on your blog. 

Case Study

Now through this case study, I want to show you the power of building a blog with huge traffic and the type of income you can make through affiliate marketing 

In October 2021, my pageviews, according to Google Analytics were 103,973.

That month, this is what I made through affiliate marketing 

(ONLY AMAZON affiliate program earnings are shown below)

Then, the following year in January 2022, my pageviews doubled to 254,450

And income on affiliate marketing significantly increased.

Best Tools for Affiliate Marketing:

Lasso

This is probably the absolute best tool we have purchased to increase the revenue of our affiliate links so I highly recommend it.

The great thing about this tool is that it helps you manage all important links in one place. It alerts you when an important link is broken or out of stock so you never lose revenue and it also suggests opportunities on your site so you can maximize your revenue.

Honestly, once we started using it to add affiliate links to our content,  it made our job 10 times easier. Lasso has many more helpful features. You can learn more about it here.

Best Courses to Take If you are interested in Affiliate Marketing

I truly believe that knowledge is power. If you are serious about affiliate marketing, then you should invest in a course.

If you are a new beginner, I highly recommend you to get Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing by Michelle Schroeder-Gardner.

When I first started working on my publication, I took a lot of courses related to affiliate marketing and this was definitely the best one because her course is very easy to follow. 

Michelle is very good at explaining affiliate marketing in simple terms and also the course is designed to help you brainstorm and create your own affiliate marketing plan for your blog. 

It was extremely valuable. You can check it out here. 

Final Thoughts 

Affiliate marketing works and it can be VERY lucrative so do not underestimate it. There are so many different affiliate programs out there that there is certainly one that is a perfect fit for your blog and target demographic.

I highly encourage you to take one or two courses to learn all about affiliate marketing and then create a plan so you can maximize your affiliate marketing revenue.
