How To make Money

Start affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money online, partially because it's so accessible. All you need is a blog and a handful of affiliate marketing agreements with known brands whose products and services you want to sell.

In a nutshell, with affiliate marketing, you write blog posts, then advertise or link to products that are part of your affiliate program. Each time one of your blog readers purchases after clicking to a product from one of your links, you'll get a commission for your effort.

Affiliate marketing is one of the top ways to make money if you are an online blogger or have a brand blog for your ecommerce store. While it's not always best for beginners, freelance writers with a knack for SEO can develop a robust income stream by partnering with high-quality brands and digital products.

Note that you can also use affiliate marketing as a great way to make some side income online to complement your other ecommerce income.

Remember, affiliate marketing is easier if you already have a loyal reader base for your blog. For this reason, while affiliate marketing doesn't cost a lot of money, it may take some time before you have enough people consuming your content to make it worthwhile.

Requirements: Computer, WordPress or other blog platform and an affiliate marketing partnership.

Time to earn money: 4+ weeks.

How to set up: Set up a blog, join an affiliate marketing program and write content that links to affiliate products.
