Wikipedia defined affiliate as “type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards an affiliate for each visitor or customer brought by the affiliate’s own marketing efforts.

Let's take an example, if your blog niche is about technology and you write about latest technology such as new mobiles, TV's and online things. Then you can join affiliate programs of various E-commerce websites such as Jumia, Konga and Amazon etc.

3. Direct Advertisements:

Direct Ads can earn you a huge gains if your blog has a huge targeted traffic. But it comes with times when your blog becomes a little old and you get a comparable audience in a niche. You will actually sell your Advertising space to the Advertisers. 

You can show ads on Website sidebar of 300 x 250 and that's it. But for that, you should concentrate on increasing your traffic, because advertisers don't want a blog with few visitors. Think of this avenue when you have reached atleast 10k visitors per month. 

4. Sponsored Post:

A sponsored post can help you make money in a single shot. All you have to do is increase traffic of you blog and you have a good number of readers then you can reach possible advertisers in your niche. 

It is far now the best way to make money from your blog. If your blog is about "Technology" then can reach a party that might be interested in buying a review on your. This works exactly the same way as direct advertising for finding the potential advertisers. 

You can always look of new players in the market as they are more likely shed a few more dollars as they need to penetrate the market. But, if your blog is well established then you will get sponsored post on its own or you can reach old player as well. They will surely do business with you. 

Few things to keep in mind: 

a). Always post reviews that are related to niche of your website as only then advertisers will become ready to pay you. As no one want to pay if he is not gonna get anything from review. 

b). Post review of only good products, because if you post review of bad products then your audience may not like it. So, always keep in mind that your readers are at stake. 

This was all about earning money while you are just starting your website. Once you have grown your website and you have alot of traffic then you will get more exposure. You can contact potential advertisers on your niche for direct ads.
