1. Ad revenue
If you’re starting to get a bit of traffic but it’s not enough to start making affiliate sales ad revenue might be a great method to start earning money.
Adnetworks are willing to pay websites simply for directing people to companies without them purchasing something.
The companies are using something we call PPC or Pay-Per-Click advertising to get people to their websites.
As soon as join the ad network you gain the ability to put ads on your website from those companies using PPC.
It’s an easy way to earn money because you aren’t doing any extra work aside from your normal affiliate marketing duties.
There are a lot of Ad networks you can join and some are easier to join than others but the ad network I’d recommend is Ezoic.
Most ad networks require you to have a minimum amount of monthly traffic to join. Most people that start affiliate marketing don’t have consistent traffic coming in yet.
2. Accept sponsored posts
On your way to increasing the authority of your website, you’ll start noticing that people are going to contact you to promote their content, products, or services.
You could earn money simply by charging them for a post on your website.
I remember after my first half year I’d get a lot of emails from people interested in providing me with guest posts.
The majority of guest posts sent were horrible but every now and then I’d come across an adequate guest post and was paid to post it on my website.
Also, if you have created a half-decent email list people are even willing to pay for you to share something with your email list.
3. Donation Based Monetization
If you have quality content on your website that truly provides value to your readers they’ll appreciate it.
You could create a mini crowdfund for people to support while you’re still on your journey to turn your website into a sustainable source of income.
2 examples of websites that can help you are Buymeacoffee and Ko-fi.
You can create an account on their website and have people send money to you through these 2 platforms.
In the beginning, you’ll probably not earn a lot through donations but every small bit helps.
4. Sell pdf’s online
People aren’t only to pay money for big products that require to take weeks to put together. Some people are just 1 small step from reaching their goal.
If you have the knowledge to take them to their end goal you could put it into a pdf and sell it to your niche. At an affordable rate, a lot of people would be interested in investing financially in your solution.
Checklists, guides, hacks, blueprints, etc could all end up becoming a great source of income even if they’re just 3 pages long.
5. Low-priced paywall for premium content
The first time I came across something resembling a paywall was on an SEM (search engine marketing) niche website.
This website was full of search engine marketing tutorials.
The free content on the website was really handy for beginners but he also had some blog posts with advanced strategies that could speed up the SEO process.
As soon as you clicked on the blog post to open it a pop-up that blocked the content would appear.
The pop-up had a message on it.
“...If you wanted full access to all his advanced content you’d have to pay $10 a month…”
If you have enough knowledge about your niche or you’re able to acquire enough valuable knowledge through other means you can put it into a blog post and create a wall like this.
A great resource which makes that possible is called Thrive Themes.
It's a website/page builder that is able to make paywalls among other things. It's also a great product product to create a website with.
Final Words
These are a few methods I wanted to leave you with before ending this course.
I hope you now have a good idea of how you can create your affiliate marketing business but just in case you have any questions you could reply to one of my emails.
That’s it!
This is the end of the Constant Commission affiliate course.
I’ve put an insane number of hours into gathering all this information but it was definitely worth it putting this course together.
I’m planning on making more full courses to assist you with multiple ways of marketing and earning money online so look out for that.
I wish you well on your affiliate marketing journey and feel free to keep me updated on it.
I’d love to hear your story.
