The mechanism and essence of making money on affiliate programs, how to choose the right one, how to promote online, useful tools and much more. Hello everyone, Brashbeard here!
What is an affiliate program?
Whether it is a service that offers any services for money or an online store that sells its products, most of them have their own affiliate programs. For their owners, these affiliate programs are responsible for maximizing sales and increasing the income of their business. It is your task to advertise these goods and services. For which you will receive a percentage of sales.
This becomes even more profitable for you if affiliate programs have conditions for attracting not only buyers, but webmasters just like you. In this case, you will receive a percentage of the income earned by the webmaster you attracted.
From the outside, it may resemble a financial pyramid, with the only difference being that it is a truly effective way to make money and it is not beneficial for anyone to scam you.
I think it’s no secret that your earnings from affiliate programs will directly depend on how much effort you put into attracting clients, what tools you use, and what kind of traffic you have at your disposal. Let's look at several ways to attract an audience.
Ways to promote affiliate links
- In your status (on the wall);
- Personal recommendation in message;
- Information in the group (public);
- Advertising in public pages and groups;
It is worth ordering advertising from small specialized communities, where the price for posting a post will be minimal. You must understand that it must be cost-effective for you. Publics and groups should be “populated” by real people, not bots.
For example:
Very often, shareholders of one or another residential complex unite in fairly large contact groups and discuss pressing problems there. Imagine how many specialized advertisements you can place there. This could be various furniture, plumbing, food delivery, and much more.
- Thematic or nearly thematic;
- A photograph is required (no crooked faces or left-handed avatars);
- Discussion, controversy;
- Agreement with the administrator (advertising).
Naturally, forums should be thematic, otherwise the conversion from your recommendations will be minimal. Well, most likely you will just be banned. You must correctly design your profile on the forum and upload a normal photo.
What does discussion mean? You should not immediately after registration start spamming and waving your link in all topics. Forums love their own. If you feel that this site is a great place to make money, then feel free to start gaining the trust of the locals.
Start communicating in various topics, express your opinion, create your own topics without spam. In such polemics, you can carefully insert your own link so that it looks organic and relevant to the topic. So that she answers this or that question or advice to another person. If a person has just created a topic, don’t try to immediately shove a link at him on the first page. Start replying to his thread and enter into a discussion with other users. And then, at the appropriate moment:
“But I use this phone, it’s really awesome, but this iPhone is complete crap”
- Feature articles and reviews;
- Recommendation in postscript;
- Banner in the sidebar and header of the site;
- Interview with the author.
Friends, if you still don’t have your own website or blog, then it’s time to create one. Promoting affiliate programs on your website is considered the most effective way to attract referrals. No one will ban you or prohibit you from posting obvious advertisements for a particular product. On your websites you are free to create and promote any affiliate program.
True, this requires that your site be visited, and this is a separate article.
If your website or blog already has traffic, then place affiliate banners carefully. Many times I have noticed how some webmasters make “Christmas trees” out of their resources. The entire site is covered with various banners and advertising, but is it effective? Don't think. Getting to such sites, it begins to “ripple” in the eyes, this annoys the visitor and he has a distinct desire to quickly close the window. Such sites scare away visitors, don't do that.
Featured articles and reviews on your website, provided that you visit it, are just a bomb.
- If you are promoting an affiliate program for electronic gadgets, then you can make reviews and video reviews of such devices and naturally indicate a referral link to the product being reviewed.
- A whole field for activity is the affiliate program from aliexpress. Just imagine how many articles you can write about this or that product on Aliexpress.
And many other options.
Traffic on your site is your income. You just need to point it in the right direction.
The text could be something like this: “I liked your product and I want to promote it on my website, but I don’t want to use the usual washed-out methods. I would like to interview you where we will talk in detail about your product and give useful tips to our users. At the end of the interview there will be a ref link to your website.”
Advertising Affiliate Links
When promoting affiliate links, you can go slow and for free, or you can go fast, but with an investment. And the first thing you need to decide is whether it is profitable, whether your advertising will pay off. Advertising is always a risk. You can lose your budget and earn nothing.
- Thematic mailings;
Many blogs and websites have their own subscriber base. You contact the owner and arrange to issue a sales letter.
- Contextual advertising;
Advertising comes from search engines, and it is targeted. This is advertising that we order from Google and Yandex. Quite expensive. There is very tough competition and the more people who want to advertise, the more expensive it starts to cost. But perhaps in some niches it can be useful and inexpensive.
- Banner and teaser advertising;
Same as with the first option. You contact the site owner and agree to place an advertising banner (in the banner, of course, is our referral link). Teaser advertising involves posting an article with a picture.
- Ordering guards, articles, purchasing links.
Many blogs and websites have their own subscriber base. You contact the owner and arrange to issue a sales letter. The letter contains referral links in pictures and “calls to action”.
Affiliate program on message boards.
A very unusual way to make money on an affiliate program. A friend told me about this method, but I haven’t tried it myself. You don’t need a website or a blog, you don’t need to invest in advertising or invest financially at all. All you need is a bulletin board and a telephone.
Earning mechanism on boards:
- Choosing a product affiliate
This could be some kind of home appliances and gadgets store.
- Register in the affiliate program
Important! You not only register in the affiliate program, but also register using your own referral link.
Be sure to read the terms and conditions of the affiliate program. Some developers prohibit registering using their own links. Take this point into account and use a different ip.
We need a second account to place future orders.
- Selecting the right and in-demand product
It could be a telephone or a washing machine. Anything and everything that is in demand.
- Register on all popular message boards
Avito, Yula, what else do we have there?
- We publish advertisements for the sale of goods with a picture
Be sure to set the same price as indicated by your partner. Naturally, we evaluate your competitors and the ability to sell at the price at which your partner store sells.
- We accept calls
Yes, you answer calls yourself. Say that this product is available, we answer his questions regarding this product (if any). Before doing this, of course, it wouldn’t hurt to familiarize yourself with the product being sold. Be sure to write down all the buyer's information and phone number, this is very important.
- Place an order
Go to your account in a partner store and place the received order. Enter all the necessary data: customer phone number and address.
- Profit
You receive a reward in the form of a percentage of sales. We repeat many times.

Greetings, readers of my blog! Today there are many ways to make money on the Internet. Now I will not list all the different ways to make money via the Internet. Today I want to stop on affiliate programs. First, let's look at what affiliate programs are.
Partnership programs– this is a form of business cooperation between the seller and partners when selling any product or providing services.
My first money earned on the Internet was through partnership programs. Below you see screenshots of my affiliate payments. This was a long time ago, back in 2010))).
I don’t remember exactly, but in my opinion I invested more there than I earned)). But I got experience. I promoted affiliate programs exclusively through contextual advertising in Yandex Direct. I remember purchasing a course on contextual advertising (the course was not very good, at least not for beginners, that’s for sure, although it said the opposite), but oh well.
Back then I was an absolute beginner and didn’t know what other promotion methods affiliate programs, gradually I began to use other methods, such as teaser advertising, banners... But they were all paid.
And in the end from lack of knowledge, I abandoned this type of income, deciding that it was very expensive for me. I thought that in order to make money on affiliate programs (to make good money) you first had to invest a lot of money, but at that time I simply didn’t have it.
But time passes and everything changes. Now my business is online let me I can also earn extra money through affiliate programs, absolutely free of charge and with virtually no participation from me. Agree, it's nice go to your email inbox and see a letter confirming that you have completed the sale.
I will be happy to share with you the methods that I use, which allow me to make affiliate sales on autopilot.
1. Blog. Don’t be lazy and create a “I recommend” tab on your blog. If visitors to your blog trust you, you write interestingly, share useful content, people will buy products based on your recommendation.
Just share those affiliate programs that you are completely confident in, or even better, that you study them yourself. And of course, affiliate programs should be close to your blog topic.
2. Banners for the blog. Also a good option, just don't overdo it. There is no need to turn your blog into a store selling all kinds of courses.
3. Blog article. You write an article and, by the way, unobtrusively offer to purchase an affiliate product.
4. Comments on other people's blogs. Find a blog on the topic of your affiliate program, write an interesting, detailed comment. Naturally, the comment must be correctly written and divided into paragraphs. In the site field. You put your affiliate link.
6. Confirmation page. After a person has subscribed to your newsletter, it is immediately recommended to direct him to a page where he is shown how to confirm his subscription. So, on such a page you can also place an affiliate program.
If you are trying to make money on affiliate programs, then you probably know this amazing phenomenon. It is enough for someone to bring 100 people to earn ten thousand. And someone brings ten thousand people, and cannot earn even 100 rubles.
Why does advertising work for some and not for others?
Let's immediately understand the “affiliate program phenomenon”. So you connect to some affiliate program, and you see reviews from people that they earn a lot of money there. You are happy that you have finally found a “normal” affiliate program, and you start sending traffic to it. But a day or two or a week passes and nothing happens.
It turns out that the reviews are lying? Not necessary. It’s just that affiliate programs are a special type of online business. Sales of affiliate products are made “by recommendation”. That is, you seem to recommend on your own behalf to buy a product or register for a service.
And here is the main question - what is your “face” like? Do they know you? Do they believe you? Or is your name just an empty phrase for those to whom you show your affiliate link? In affiliate programs, what is much more important is not what we recommend. And then WHO recommends.
And if you want to make a profit from affiliate programs, then you definitely need to reach an audience that would believe you.
Let me guess what you're thinking. You think that “I don’t have such an audience, so nothing will work out.” And here it will work. I’ll show you here a couple of ways where you can get a “warm” audience that will trust you right today.
But first, a little “shit parade” - how NOT to advertise affiliate programs (although most do just that).
How not to advertise affiliate programs
Method #1 - SPAM
It's hard to think of an advertising method that would cause more hatred than SPAM. Do you know why spam brings such bad results? Because people believe that if you advertise with spam, then you have nothing at all - no money, no conscience. And how can you be trusted after this? How can you trust that the product you offer is truly high quality? Quite the opposite. You are being advertised by SPAM, which means the product is definitely bad.
What we are talking about now is not only about sending out to millions of email addresses. Nowadays it has become very fashionable to spam on social networks. Some people do this openly and brazenly, posting their links in groups, in comments, and in private messages to strangers.
Those who act “smarter” design their VKontakte page in such a way that it all sells clicking on an affiliate link (correct status, correct profile, correct pinned top post) - and they begin to “friend” everyone.
This is certainly better than outright spamming. But such tactics will still not bring much benefit. People are all smart now, and your friend requests will deceive few people (they don’t deceive you yourself). Therefore, I believe that spam is a very bad option for advertising an affiliate program.
Method #2 - Contextual advertising
Yes, before, affiliate programs were very often and successfully promoted through Yandex Direct and Yandex YAN. But that was a long time ago, almost in the last Internet century. Now the cost of a click has increased very much, competitors with budgets and hands from the right place have come running.
And they sell their products. and not strangers. This means that they receive 100% of the income, and not 10-20% like you. This means they can spend 5-10 times more money on advertising than you.
And in contextual advertising there is the same “jamb” with trust. People immediately see that this is paid advertising, and their attitude towards it is appropriate. Teaser networks work even more or less well. And all professional affiliate marketers (people who live on the resale of Internet traffic) get their traffic from there.
But teaser networks work because the switching price is very cheap, and so far there are very few people who really know how to work with teasers. But I wouldn’t use “classic” contextual advertising like Yandex-Direct. Wrong era, wrong period of time.
So what should we do in such a situation? Here are three ways that I think are the best for affiliate advertising.
How to properly advertise affiliate programs
Method #1 - Your own website
First, let's talk about “heavy artillery”. I have a very conservative attitude towards the Internet business, in which something changes every day, and some “super new items” and “fashion trends” appear twice a day. And I believe that every Internet entrepreneur needs his own website.
An ordinary, old-fashioned site where you post the most ordinary articles, and people from search engines come to you to read these articles. This is your platform and your traffic, which no one will ever take away from you.
And the best part is that the traffic is free and very, very “warm”. That is, people who come to you from search engines are very loyal to you in advance. Do you know why? Because they didn't just come to your site. Your site to them recommended.
How search traffic works
A person enters some search query into the system, and Yandex or Google tells them: “Look. I have analyzed thousands of sites on this topic, and I believe that this site (yours) is the best.” And after such a recommendation, a person comes to you.
And you also wrote a great article. And the person sees that you are truly an expert in your field, and did not just accidentally end up in the TOP 3 of Yandex. Accordingly, you can offer your visitor some kind of affiliate product right here and now. And he... will believe you.
Would you say that it takes a long time to promote a website in search engines? How long is it for you? Is investing two to three years in writing articles a long time? But then you will never need anything.
But on the other hand, yes, a site will not reach the TOP of Yandex in one day. And you need to eat something today. What should I do? Here are quick options for proper advertising of affiliate programs.
Method #2 - Someone else's site
You don't have to wait until your own site starts bringing in enough visitors. There are already excellent sites in the world that are already promoted in search engines. And do you know how they make money? On advertising.
That is, you can take some kind of affiliate product and advertise it on a well-promoted website of a similar topic. Do you understand what the advantages of such advertising are? For chat visitors, such advertising will be something like a “recommendation” from the owner of the resource.
That is, you advertise the affiliate program not on your own behalf, but on behalf of the site owner. In order for this approach to work, your advertising must be as “native” as possible. This new word, which recently appeared in the lexicon of Internet marketers, precisely means disguised advertising.
How to make native advertising better
Instead of hanging a regular advertising banner somewhere in the sidebar, you can agree with the owner that he will insert a link to your product in a couple of articles for a while. For example, let's say you are promoting an affiliate SEO training course. And the author of the site has 10 articles on the topic of SEO promotion. In total, they bring him 500 visitors per day from search networks.
The author places one additional phrase in these articles for a week - “By the way, I recommend looking at this product.” In a week you will receive approximately 3500 views on your link. And the CTR there will be simply huge. This is not a banner in your header.
Yes, most likely the owner of the resource will ask you for much more money for such advertising than for a regular banner. But you will get much higher results. In addition, you will be surprised at what pennies site owners usually charge for advertising on their resources.
It’s just very important to check that the site you choose actually has an author. And then there are the so-called “content”, when articles are written by faceless copywriters, and there is no personality behind this resource. Advertising on such a site will most likely not provide any benefit.
Do you want to get a really wild response to your affiliate advertising? Then don’t let the owner of the resource go far, he will still be useful to us.
Method #3 - Advertising in someone else's mailing list
Previously, there were no big problems finding such mailings. There was a service called Smrtresponder.ru, which, among other things, also created a large mailing list where you could always find something to suit your taste. But the service closed, and along with it the base. Now you have to search for people manually.
I would recommend that you first of all contact the owners of the very sites on which we provided “native” advertising in the previous paragraph. As a rule, all owners of such sites collect their own subscription base. They don’t do it very skillfully, but at least somehow. And their bases are usually small, but active.
Ask the site owner for permission to advertise in the newsletter. This will cost even more than placing links in articles, but we care about ROI, not just price. That is, it is important to us how many rubles we earn for each ruble invested. Everything else is emotions.
If you don’t want to take risks (and who does?) - find out if you can first send a promotional mailing to a small group of subscribers, and then to the entire database if the test result suits you.
Summary
In conclusion, let's make a short summary to consolidate what we have covered.
- Affiliate programs are a special type of business where it is much more important not what we sell, but WHO sells it;
- The worst types of advertising for affiliate products are spam and contextual advertising. The first is because it causes strong mistrust. And the second is due to the fact that it is very expensive, and we do not see any profit.
- Be sure to create your website and promote it in search engines to get an “eternal” source of hot and free traffic.
- The fastest option for advertising an affiliate program is native advertising on author’s sites that are already promoted. The best way to do this is to place links in feature articles.
- If the author of the resource you found has his own newsletter, be sure to try to advertise there too. It will cost a lot, but the response from such advertising will be as high as possible.
I hope this short overview of ways to advertise affiliate programs will be useful to you. Save it to your bookmarks and share with friends. Don't forget to download my book. There I show you the fastest way from zero to the first million on the Internet (a summary from personal experience over 10 years =)
