So if you’re going to make money as an affiliate blogger, you’re going to have choose what products you promote very carefully. After all, blogging is about building trust and communities. If you betray that trust by showing your community of readers ads and links that have nothing to do with what brings them to your blog, you’re going to look like a spammer. Not only will you end up not making any money, but it might cost you the community of readers you’ve worked so hard to build.

I got an email today from Linkworth which told me that an advertiser would like me to review their website on my personal blog. It was only for $25 but it was probably worth doing since it only had to be 200 words or more and I could probably write the post in 15 minutes or so.
Before accepting I noticed that the advertiser had stipulated that the review had to be positive, something which I always tell advertisers I can’t guarantee when they enquire about a review. I had a…
The decision to monetize your blog through affiliate marketing isn’t as simple as using your blog posts as advertorials. The real affiliate marketing potential of your blog, after all, lies with the influence you have over the community of your readers.

Even though I’ve been a freelance writer since 1993, I haven’t done much work on the road, ie, when I’m traveling. Outside of checking email, updating my blog and firing off a few proposals, I usually don’t do much in the way of actual writing when I’m away.
Well, this time it’s different. I was in New York City last week (business/pleasure) and am in St. Paul, Minnesota this week (pure pleasure). During this 10-day sojourn, I have actually completed client projects on the road. Following are some pros and cons…
So you’ve decided to monetize your blog through affiliate marketing, and you’ve chosen an affiliate network that’s right for you, your blog topic, and your audience.

Now the question that remains is “what are you going to do with all of it?”
It’s easy to pack your blog full of ads, but that’s necessarily going to roll over…
I was reading an interview featuring Markus Frind of PlentyofFish.com. Mr. Frind’s site is the world’s largest online dating website. According to published reports, Markus pulls in over $10,000 to $20,000 a day from Google AdSense alone. His overall income is $5 million to $10 million a year.
