Since you made a decision on getting affiliate commissions for products advertised on your new website you may want to find some of them. Here is a short list of affiliate programs and other sites that will provide you with a little something when you'll work with them.
You don't have to join all affiliate programs out there. Join the programs that offer products, coupons, rebates, discounts, gifts, or whatever that fits within your niche topic.
If your niche is Christmas tree ornaments, then join Amazon and use their products to illustrate your articles, each time someone that comes to your site buys from your page, you'll get a commission.
Of course don't promote unrelated products like crafts on a page that is related to car wires.
For example, my niches are holiday related. My sites cover a wide range of sub-niches and sub-sub-niches in which are includes crafts. So since I'm not a crafty person - I mean ok I can make some crafts but I'm not that creative and can't do all the kinds of celebration crafts related out there. In addition I'm not the best cook out there, let alone a good baker. Still I love cake decorating and enjoy writing about them. I love hand made bespoke dresses and jewels but can't make them myself. Although I can provide some instructions on how to create them I don't think that knowing how to make ONE dress or ONE necklace allows anyone to make more...
Therefore I found a solution. Along with my craft related products (scissors, glue, craft paper, fabrics, floor, cookie and cupcake sprinkles, etc.) I promote an online craft class that allows my reader to:
1. Get a few free mini-classes to take an eye on what these classes are all about and check their quality,
2. Join these classes that will teach them how to create stunning pieces in a very wide range of categories, from cooking to baking, from food decorating to dress making, from jewelry making to quilting, from drawing figures to knitting, from learning how to take great photos to crochetting and more.
Let's say that - it's one of my favorites - I promote cookie bouquets (or cookie bloom arrangements). These are great gift ideas that perfectly replace flowers when it comes to gifts with a twist. However the stores to sell cookie bouquets through have cancelled their affiliate programs and I don't have that many unique cookie bouquets to feature and promote any more.
So what did I do:
1. I joined the Craftsy affiliate program
2. Featured a few cookie bloom arrangements on my sites
3. Added a section that suggests my readers to create their very own cookie bouquets
4. Suggested my readers to take classes on how to create cookie bloom arrangements on their own after having learned how to do so thanks to Autumn Carpenter's Decorating Essentials: Designer Cookies
5. I can even promote them through ready-made videos...
Once you join an affiliate program, you're done and can promote as many of their products, of course.Which program should you promote?
