Another way to leverage the popularity of listicles is with “useful tips”- type listicles. These are just as sought-after online and even though they might not focus on products primarily, that doesn’t mean you won’t have a lot of opportunities to include your affiliate links throughout.
The process is pretty straightforward and simple, but to truly succeed as an affiliate marketer, it takes a ton of work and careful planning.

Once you have built up your email list, you can start promoting offers via email. And when I say “built up,” I mean one person will do! Get used to sending emails to your readers, and make sure you create a relationship with them before you start to promote offers. You don’t want to come across like that person that only cares about making a sale! Be genuine, share tips and only promote when there is an honest offer that will fit your audience.
There are sites out there who make their money largely from advertising products or goods that they’ve never even tried themselves, but I found for my own blog that the products that “sell” the most are the ones that I actually use or genuinely stand behind.
