Do you take pride in producing high-quality content? Have you ever thought about trying to use your blog to earn some extra money? Affiliate marketing hasn’t quite taken off in New Zealand as it has in other countries but for those of you new to affiliate marketing, here’s a quick summary: as a publisher of content (i.e. a blogger), you can get paid for referring traffic from your website to advertiser websites when that traffic purchases something. This can be a great way of monetising your traffic without clogging up your site with banner ads.
For example, lets say you review a product. You write a really nice review and include a link where your users can go and buy the product. This link contacts tracking which identifies you as an affiliate. Then if a user purchases the product (or any other product on the site for that matter), you get compensated with a sales commission.
