You are about to learn about the three affiliate programs that almost always earns you money irrespective of what niche you belong to. Please avoid reading this post if you are not into affiliate marketing or earning money as this might increase your sales.

Affiliate marketing through blogs can be very easy when you do it the right way. Most people get confused on what to be an affiliate for. But this is one of the easiest things, at least easier than selling the product that you have chosen. You can sell almost any product or book using content. But when you go for affiliate marketing using banners, it is hard to sell products. It gets tough to convince your readers using banners.

Give me 5 minutes and I’ll show you the 3 affiliate programs that almost always earn you money:

1. Hosting Programs
Hosting programs are THE best in my opinion. They convert like crazy even if you are using banners. You don’t need to be in the “make money online” niche to affiliate hosting programs. It works for every niche. Most of your blog’s readers will be having a blog. When you recommend them a host that you have been using and having no trouble with, they are going to buy it. Many bloggers go for the wrong hosting the first time and when these people see your recommendation, they might give your recommendation a try. I have been using hostgator and I always recommend it to people who ask me which hosting program to choose. Hostgator has 24 hours live support and you can have unlimited domains hosted in your account for less than $10. In fact, they have an offer for those who want to give it a try. You will get the first month’s hosting for 1 cent if you use the coupon code wordpress.

2. WordPress Themes
As I said above, most people who visit your blog will be bloggers unless your source of traffic is 100% from search engines. And most of these bloggers will be using WordPress (Huh! You knew it). WordPress blogger are always on lookout for themes. So when you have a good theme recommendation, they will check it. You can recommend themes like DIY themes which is already quite famous. Some bloggers might have seen the promotion in other blogs and they might choose to buy when they are in your blog. Some people don’t buy products the first time they see it.

3. Make Money Online Programs
Who doesn’t like to earn money? After all, one of the main reasons for many people to start a blog is to earn money. It is easy to refer people to money making programs. Let me tell you a secret. People always want to try new money making programs. When you find a program just after its release, you might be able to get many people to join the program using your affiliate link. One more secret: Your conversion rates will be high when you are promoting money making programs since people don’t have to pay anything in most of the cases. One of the recent money making programs that does quite well is Performancing Ads.

Now you know what programs to promote in your blog. I don’t give any guarantee that you will make money by being affiliate for these programs or by throwing up the banners in your blog. You need to work hard to get people to see the banners. At the same time, don’t have too many banners. Have at the maximum four 125X125 ads in your sidebar.

What affiliate programs do you promote that have earned you money? Do you know any other affiliate program which can be promoted irrespective of the niche? I’ll be glad to add it to the list with your name. Please share your opinion in the comments.
