What is an Affiliate Marketing Blogger?

If you are new to Wealthy Affiliate, you may be new to the whole idea of affiliate marketing. There are lots of different types of affiliate marketing, but the most common is the affiliate marketing blogger.

So... what is an affiliate marketing blogger?

An affiliate marketing blogger is someone who blogs and mentions products on their blog for which they get a cut every time someone purchases.

It really is as simple as that.

Simple... but not easy.

Affiliate marketing takes a lot of hard work. Everyday.

So... what is a good affiliate marketing blogger?

A good affiliate marketing blogger is someone who is willing to work hard on their website everyday.

In other words, it is not someone who expects to build a quick website and "get rich quick".

It doesn't work that way.

For people to buy from your blog, there are a few things that need to happen first:

1) First, you need to have quality content that targets the right keywords to bring people to your site.

2) Second, the quality needs to be quality enough to give the prospective buyer a reason to stay on the page long enough to read it.

3) Third, the material needs to give enough quality information that the buyer is ready to click through and purchase by the time you provide them a link.

Otherwise, they will need to continue their research and they will either click a link from another affiliate marketing blogger's site, end up directly at a provider's site, or perhaps forget the whole thing and never buy.

So, how do you make sure your blog covers all of these things?

Like I said, it is simple, but not easy.
