Niche affiliate marketing – how to make money with your website or blog

How to earn money with your niche website or blog through affiliate marketing

If you run a website or blog that caters to a specific market, like drummers who want to improve their technique, or musicians who want to learn how to record at home, then you have found a niche. If you have a niche blog or website that is drum- or recording-related and you have a solid following, then this page is for you! If you don’t have a website or blog, but have a solid fanbase on YouTube or Social media websites like Facebook or Twitter, you might want to check out our step-by-step tutorials for those types of affiliate marketing. If you are not familiar with affiliate marketing, prepare yourself by reading the general info on how our affiliate program works and how you can earn money from it.

Here are the steps for monetizing your niche website or blog:

Step 1. Sign up with clickbank and join our affiliate program. Click here to learn how. The hoplink for the Learn How To Record website is http://AFFILIATE.mikenoises.hop.clickbank.net. Just replace AFFILIATE with your Clickbank username. If you would like a personalized “pretty” hoplink URL like www.learnhowtorecord.com/yourname, contact us with your Clickbank username and preferred URL name, and we will make it happen for you.

Step 2. Use one of our ready-made banners, or make your own. Insert them throughout your website or blog with the hoplink attached, so that when someone clicks the banner, they can check out and buy our products, and you can earn a commission from each purchase they make. You can insert the banners in the side bar, header or footer of your site, as well as at the end of your blog posts or the spaces between them.

Step 3. Write a review of one of our products (like The Hackers Guide To Drum Recording ebook) and put it on your website or blog with the hoplink at the end. Product reviews generate better conversion rates than just banners by themselves, because they provide your readers with more information and add the credibility of your word to it. You can go one step further and do a video review, post it on YouTube, and embed it into your website or blog. All of these things will increase your chances of earning more money from our affiliate program.

Step 4. Each time you write a blog post, add a “Resources” section at the end and mention one our relevant products, with a hoplink. For example, if you are writing a post about MIDI drum editing, you can mention how helpful the chapter dedicated to that topic in The Hackers Guide To Drum Recording ebook is.

Step 5. Each time someone you refer purchases our product, you earn a commission and get paid! So it’s in your interest to make sure as many people as possible end up buying the product you are promoting.

Tips:

The more relevant people view your website or blog, the more of them will check out the product you recommend, and the higher the chances that they will buy it. So as you would normally do with your blog, write quality content to maintain your credibility and update regularly to maintain traffic. This applies to non-blog websites too – quality of content is very important, whether it is tutorials, videos, or your own products.
Make sure your website is search engine optimized (SEO) with all the relevant keywords – same goes for each of your blog posts. This will boost your natural traffic. Examples of keywords: drum tutorials, jazz drumming, how to dampen your kick drum, how to find gigs for drummers, etc.
For added traffic, you can share your website or select pages & blog posts from your site on facebook, twitter and other social networks, email them to your friend or subscribers, etc.
Write us a testimonial, or send us a short review (written or video form), and we will put it up on the Learn How To Record website. This improves our credibility, which increases our sales, and brings higher earnings to affiliates like you!
