“Dami, how do you make money as a blogger?”
As an online content creator, one of the questions I get asked ALOT is ” Dami, how do you make money?” Facts! If I got a dollar for every time someone asked, dot dot dot ….. (you fill in the blank)
So I am coming clean! One of the ways I monetize my platforms is through affiliate marketing and I use the website, ShareASale.
But before I get ahead of myself with ShareASale, let me explain what affiliate marketing is.
Wikipedia says Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a merchant/ business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate’s marketing efforts. In simple terms, I provide a platform for merchants to advertise their goods and services. This kind of marketing is performance-based, which means that as an affiliate, I am compensated based on the sales or clicks that I bring to the merchants.
Ok, back to ShareASale, it is an affiliate marketing network that connects the affiliate and merchants. If you look at the side banners on my websites or some links even in this post, you will see some affiliate links from Weebly Eccommence , Weebly and Spanx. Every time someone clicks on those links and makes a purchase, I get compensated. That straightforward!
Being a content creator in Canada with a very specific niche, it can be difficult finding merchants that cater to the needs of my readers. What I particularly love about ShareASale compared to other affiliate networks is the wide range of selection of merchants, I can choose from. ShareASale is also easy to use and has numerous features and programs that make it easy to create and maintain different programs.
I highly recommend ShareASale to my fellow content creators, it is the easiest way to find sponsors for your platform, get paid for your great content and even generate passive income.
To merchants/business owner is a great and cheaper way of Driving more traffic and sales to what you are selling. The best part is that you only pay when the lead works.
In the end, it is the perfect symbiotic relationship!
