Affiliate Marketing Examples and Strategies

[Sirazam Manira]

What does affiliate marketing look like when you're a blogger? An example of this could be blatantly creating a post that is actually about the company you are affiliated with or you could deftly weave the product or service into a post that is on a related topic.

An example of going the blatant root? Let's say you are a food blogger and one of the companies you are an affiliate of sells food processors. You can write an entire post about that food processor including:
Benefits
Capabilities
Recipes where the food processor could be utilized
Cost
Care instructions and more
Then you could include a button, link or banner ad that would take the reader directly to that product and they could order it based on your recommendations.
If you would like to take a more subtle approach, include a product or service from your company that relates into your blog post. For example, let's say that you are a wine connoisseur and that is what your blog is based around. In any post that is enticing your readers to open up a good bottle of Merlot or what have you, it would be wise to embed an ad for a quality, easy-to-use wine opener, wine glasses or stoppers that keep the wine fresh.
