My application in Bluehost affiliate program was approved. This means that it is the start on entering the world of affiliate marketing.

Affiliate program

Joining in affiliate programs will be a very rewarding career if done right. Good thing about affiliate marketing is there is no product fulfillment so you can sell anything in no time limit as long as the product is active. You can also switch to other product if you feel that the product that you are selling doesn’t performing well to you. Obviously that joining in Affilate programs will be another way in making money blogging.

Success in affiliate marketing

Your reader’s trust will be the most important thing to have success in affiliate marketing. As I have learned in my college days, a good sales man knows every detail of the product he sells. Sales will be in everywhere. To the public market, shopping malls, equipment stores and the huge silent market of the internet.

Marketing techniques

I remember when bought my bag in a department store in shoe mart shopping mall. A round of applause to the salesman of the bag store. I really have no intention on buying a new bag because my bag is not that old enough to be replaced by a new one. I’m just looking for a bag that could replace my bag in case that I need it.

Then a salesman approach and greeted me a pleasant greeting. Then he pointed out one of their hottest product that they sell. He stated all the characteristics and features of that bag, which is very ideal if you are bring a cellphone that everyone does. I liked that feature and I need it because my bag at that time doesn’t have that cellphone protection feature.

Another feature of the bag that the salesman sell is it’s proof on water which gives another points on my old bag. The features of the bag exceeded my needs and wants expectation on a bag. So I have decided to buy the bag. Well done to the salesman! He did a great job.

The skills of the salesman will be necessary in affiliate marketing. In order to make sales, you need to know every single detail of the product that you are selling so you can educate your customers.

Commission Junction Affiliate Program

Commission junction will be a great place to sell affiliate products of your choice. If you create a publisher’s account on Commission Junction, you are able to sell high quality products which are selling by big companies. You can also choose any products that you wanted to sell and there are so many products that you can choose from.

CJ is absolutely a huge affiliate market. Since I’m blogging about make money blogging niche, I have joined an affiliate program on web hosting which is necessary in owning your domain and hosting it if you wanted to blog on your own domain. First I tried to sign up in Bluehost (a web hosting company) as an affiliate.

Then they direct me to join CJ and sell their product there. Then I joined the program in CJ on Bluehost. Days after, I have received an email saying that my application on Bluehost was approved. Although I don’t have enough traffic to make big sales on commissions, the challenge will be making a sale on the any product that they sell.

My blog will be a great tool for that. I will start to build an email list that I can use in marketing their product. Honestly, I’m totally new in internet marketing and there are so many things to learn before making good sales on affiliate marketing.

Web hosting in starting affiliate marketing

Bluehost will be a good start in developing my skills in affiliate marketing. It was a very good web hosting company recommended by WordPress in hosting self-domain blogs.
